Every day I search for something to take my mind off of wanting to die. It’s been over a year since my first (aborted) attempt. Since then, I’ve thrown myself into my work and family. But some days it’s difficult, especially those days when my thoughts become consumed by the failures in my life, and being stuck in them. Today was better than others but I don’t know what tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, will bring.
Weekends are the worst because there’s no work to keep my mind occupied, and Wednesdays mark the point at which they become visible at the bottom of the slide.
So here we are… looking at the bottom of the slide.

I am with you there! Work is about the only distraction from the harsh reality of how we feel. I also have troubles on the weekends. Weeknights aren’t usually that great either…
Maybe you both need to find an activity to occupy your time on the weekends. A part time job or a club, or volunteer, maybe start a new hobby. It does help to keep occupied so you don’t have time to think or wallow. Reading is good too.
