I’m 19 and I’m debating whether to commit suicide. I have tried it a few times in the past but obviously failed.
I missed out on what’s supposed to be the best years of my life (high school) due to PTSD and now I’m left with no friends, no qualifications and a unsupportive family who refer to me as the weird one. They do nothing but bring me down and try and dash my spirits. It’s hard to believe it but they are the only reason I haven’t actually succeeded at suicide.
I’ve been to get help for over 5 years now at a few different psycs but none seem to work, I don’t get anything out of the sessions. Even anti depressants don’t work! I’m out of ideas! Every day I’m always alone and upset! I want the pain to stop

I have felt much the same way. I have a friend who does not criticize me or judge me at all when I speak with her. I wish I could do that for myself. If you could either find a friend that could do that for you or do that for yourself. Really suspend judgement, even to the point that you do not judge that you judge yourself. I know it sounds like grasping at straws, but sometimes that’s all we have. You did well by posting here.
My first post here is called
the Voice
It’s exactly as you say,
Can you learn to suspend your own judgement of yourself?
Please read it and see.
You deserve a good therapist, keep looking.
Peace
