Today I made a big step and went to the doctors.
My day has been awful at work, I was told I couldn’t help out an extra day because I apparently need someone with me to ‘support’ me. This is how they treat me. They see only my disability.

Sorry work went bad. It’s not right of them to discriminate.
But it’s good that you went to see the doctors.
I am more than capable of doing the job, not all the staff can see it. It’s horrible. I told the doctor about my suicide attempts and my plan to tomorrow
Some people are just narrow minded. There’s not a lot you can do to open their eyes except do your job and hope they’ll realize how wrong they are.
That’s a pretty big thing. What happened?
i tried to suffocate myself twice, passed out once. If things continue plan tok take my life with a way i found on the internet
princessxx, are you talking about the helium method. It’s supposed to be pretty effective if it’s done right. I’ve thought about it myself. I’ve used bags in the past and tried hanging in jail. All I did was convulse wildly for about 2 minutes until I could free myself. I wish you success, whatever your decision.
i don’t thinnk i could pull it off without being caught, It’s a strong desire too try thouggh
I am so happy you have taken all these huge steps forward.
I see your self deturmination to hold your own in this world and am sorry to hear that that is not being recognized in your life. It must be increadibly difficult for someone as ambitious. How did this Doctor handle being reached out to? I ask knowing that Doctors vary on how resourceful they are. I can say that I know many help lines that can be good contacts and can even refer you to programs to help get you/fund a counselor.
he seemed very shocked and concerned, he asked me to promise not to do anything. He has also sent an emergency referral to the mental health team
I know how much shocked and concerned people can come short of being helpful despite their intentions. I have been doing Google searches for help lines and have found one by the name of PAPYRUS 0800 068 41 41. I am wondering how you would feel about trying a few of these lines.
i have contacted them previously, they are very good, very helpful
i still don’t want to live, i want to be at peace so bad
I know that you have gone through many years of depression without relief I am sorry that the steps you have taken have yet to bring the relief to your pain that you need. I am hoping you might reflect on what you have accomplished for yourself in such a short period of time.
Princess, I am sorry to read that you are still going thought hard times. But I am happy that you went to the doctors. No because they have a magic wand to cure all our problems, but at least you will have the emotional support you need.
One of the best things we can do when we have a disability, it is to accept it. Never take a help or support as a discrimination. I do not see it that way. Work hard and do your job, your action will show the people around that do not trust in you or are “discriminating” you that you are more than capable to do what they have assigned to you.
Take care.
i don’t understand why they can’t see it
