I tried killing myself on valentines day I took Zoloft (antidepressants) but I only felt like I was going to pass out and my dad found out a few days later when he saw there were no more pills left.He was mad at me and said that what I did was stupid and was kinda yelling at me and said if I went back to the (Lakeside) mental facility that he would just let me stay there.Yesterday I went to the store and got some sleeping pills.Everyone is acting like everything is all my fault like my dad is mad at me for wanting to kill myself and thinks I “choose” to be depressed and so does my sister.Also my counselor said that if I kill myself I might go to hell and she thinks life isn’t pointless and that I need “help”.I feel so lonely right now also on Wednesday I had an appointment with another counselor and she also thought I would go to hell if I kill myself and wanted me to look her in the eyes and promise I wouldn’t kill myself (which I didn’t do) but I lied so she wouldn’t make me go back to the mental facility.Right now I’m trying to decide if I should take the pills and when.

1) Get away from these ludicrous theist physicians. What a therapist believes philosophically has no bearing on what they’ve been taught psychologically and physiologically. Who the hell referred you to either of those two candidates-for-loss-of-license-to-practice?
2) Most people don’t and never will understand depression. They can be happy so you should be able to be, too. The reactions of your father and sister are borne of ignorance, not of condemnation.
3) Neither zoloft nor sleepers will do the job.

@FCM has a post pending with a link to a youtube video. I got to 8 minutes before having to turn it off and that was 8 minutes of exponential increase in the amount of rage I felt toward both it and the hackneyed bint presenting it. It’s full of vile pseudo-spirituality and bastardised psychology. The world would be a better place had that video never been made.
Vibrations have me planning to gas myself? No! Logic, both altruistic and egoistic does.
No kidding. That’s funny. It’s people who have very strong opinions, like yours, that make one want to jump from a bridge. Ahannah123 is faced with her father mad at her for wanting to die, her counselor who thinks you go to hell, YOU who thinks she needs to get away from “ludicrous theist physicians”. No open mindedness, no willing to see another point of view makes us suicidal people…well…suicidal.
Mr Bullfrog, I’m sorry for you and I forgive your negativity in this space, which needs more compassion and respect for ahannah123 and others.
People that believe in empirical truth and have the intellectual fortitude to speak to that conviction make you want to jump from a bridge?
ahannah needs truth. You accuse me of lacking compassion because I try to draw their attention away from the theists that are compounding their pain and that I don’t support your attempting to shift their focus from one baseless theism to another. Really?
PULL YOUR HEAD IN. SCIENCE IS WHAT IS NEEDED TO HELP AHANNAH, NOT VARIANTS ON MASS SOCIAL MEMETICS AND HOCUS-POCUS.
Fuck’s sake!
Apologies to all, particularly ahannah. FCM and I seem to have hijacked this thread for theology debate and that’s poor form.
In my last post I mentioned “ahannah” but was using that one name as a pseudonym for our entire commnity. We all know why we’re on this site and if our demographic is ever going to decrease it will be through medical science. Sorry @ahannah123 that I used your name there.
the only way anyone can risk going to hell, is if hell exists.
Ask yourself: does hell exist?
How did you arrive at your answer?
Sleeping pills from the store won’t do anything. Even if you had hundreds and hundreds of them you would throw them up so they wouldn’t work anyway. Over the counter sleeping meds are not strong at all. I overdosed on prescription sleeping pills and I just ended up in the mental hospital. Even tons of prescription ones won’t kill you, most likely.
Also, I am a Christian and I have a degree in psychology. A therapist should not instill their religious beliefs into therapy, that is not what they are supposed to do. You just found some crappy therapists. And as a Christian, I don’t believe that you go to hell if you kill yourself, Christians should know that God is more merciful than that and I’m sorry that a lot of you have been exposed to Christians who have skewed beliefs. They give us understanding open-minded Christians a bad name. I believe in loving and accepting everyone, and no religion (or lack of one) is better than another.
