I don’t even know if you could call me suicidal. I’ve never actually attempted it, but I have thoughts about killing myself so often. I’ve had an eating disorder for over a year, and over the past few months, I’ve started cutting. I feel depressed all the time now. I’m just never happy anymore, I make excuses so I don’t have to go out, and see people, I lie to my therapist, she thinks I’m getting better, when in reality, I have never felt more depressed in my life than I do right now. I have fantasies about slitting my wrists, or jumping in front of the subway, every time I go somewhere by subway. Â I think about it so often, but I’m too much of a coward to actually go through with it. Is that normal? I just don’t know what to do anymore, I feel like I’m out of options

Pretty normal bsummers, at least here on the Suicide Project. I’m like that when I’m depressed…the fantasies in the Underground, the withdrawal. Sorry you feel the need to lie to your therapist though. Is there a reason to lie (like that you’re worried you will be incarcerated)? If at all possible, it really is good to talk openly to someone about how you’re feeling.
Clinical depression can be literally a killer, and should always be taken seriously. Hope you can find some identification and comfort here bsummers and know at least that you’re so very far from being alone…Are you on meds?
