Update I didn't do it today. My deadline is April 1st. I want to do this right so I'm going to look into more lethal methods even if it means I'll get brain damage if I'm found I'll just make sure I'm not found. My bf is making me talk to a school counselor today so it's likely they'll lock me up. I'll try to recover in the three months I have left but I'm currently on psychiatrist drugs and they are not working at all so I'm not too hopeful recovery will work. As for methods I'll probably look into getting some n because everyone here seems to be obsessed with it
Glad you are still here. Seeing a counselor or getting admitted into a psych ward are not the end of the world. It's all about the attitude you take when going in. If you have an attitude of this sucks, im mad about it, and you dont think it will work, it wont.
If you go into it with an open mind that you just might learn something, then you will.
If you have three months before you make you next decision, I challenge you to give it your best try. Make appointments, see specialists, start exercising, really give it a go. That way if you still decide to ctb you'll know you at lease gave life it's best chance to change.
As to medications, the common mistake people make is saying it's not working. You have to give it a full two months to build up in your system to a therapeutic level. It can take trying multiple different medications until you find one that works for you. Medications aren't a cure all, but they can help take the edge off. Once you find something that works, stick with it. We used to be of the mindset that we didn't want to be on medications for ever and want to get off them. But if it's working, why stop taking them? I've been on the same antidepressant for years. It works as intended and I have fewer of those big mood swings down. Try not to fall into believing the stereotypes. We are a big enough group of people now to drive chabge but it starts with us.
