Sorry its a pretty flippant title to a serious thread.
Sunday was a bad day for me. Really bad. I've been feeling down for a couple of days. I had a row with my girlfriend about going out to lunch. I don't know whether I had a row because I was low or whether I didn't want to go because I was low. It really doesn't matter.
Realising how I felt I went to the medicine box to get my anti-depressants. What I did instead was count out the painkillers I had. It was 29. I really considered taking them. I'm sorry this is grim stuff. I've been down before but never like this. Usually I feel dark, sad, lonely and frustrated but this time I just felt empty.
What stopped me? Well Swinging Heaven. I thought of the friends I have here and I couldn't just disappear with telling them why.
So thank you for helping me.
I've taken my medication and done a lot of sleeping. I still feel dwn but that empty feeling has gone. biggrin :D
really pleased you didnt take them and are still around to keep us company and join in the banter
take care

Keeno...... my heart is with you, this isn't the Keeno I know and hope you will be feeling better soon. Please please don't go down the counting tablet road, a member of my family has been there. I need to go out now to visit some elderly people (my placement bless them) I'll be sending you a PM when I get back. :therethere: tommorow will be a better day :love:
Hunni, I hope that if you get to feeling like that again, you will reach for the keyboard and not the medicine cabinet
Hi, we dont know each other but it makes me feel sad to think of you feeling so very desperate and im just glad that youre still here and feeling a bit better now.
You know youve got good friends on here who im sure will support you if needed.

We've never spoken to each other Keeno, but I'm another one here who feels very concerned...honestly. I hope you're feeling a bit better now. You're welcome to PM me any time - I will always respond.
Mike.
I have tried to post in this thread several times,but not really known the right words to say.
I can only hope that you never feel that kind emptiness again,and that you can get the support or help you need.
:therethere:
Keeno, I can only wonder if it is a Sunday thing.... The previous Sunday I hit my lowest point for many years and seriously contenplated what you did... As I was here on my own with the kids my sense of responsibility for the kids was my one saving grace... Had I been on my own I may well not have been here...
8 days on and I have turned a corner... I started a new job today and that has boosted my confidence no end... But the one thing that helped more than anything was actually opening up to a couple of good friends who I met through this site and my wonderful husband...
My PM box is always open if you ever feel yourself heading down again smile
I hope you get better soon. I did. I have been there. It was a close run thing. I am new here so I didnt have SH. But I think somewhere deep down inside I didnt want the shit winning.

On a site this large there will always been someone willing to listen, being able to reach out for help is the hard part I think.
Shout up keeno, someone will hear you kiss
keep on keeping on!
I did, much to the chagrin of many...fnarrrr!

Keeno. im glad your feeling much better now, but i would say that if you feel like this again or think you may feel like this again then maybe you would like to talk to someone professional, eg Dr etc.
Anyway, chin up and i hope you continue feeling better. My pm box is open if you ever need it.

keep going keeno life can be very hard and very cruel at times, even more so if you have had things and lost them again. i have been through the mill recently and had to deal with my father attemting to do the same. He survived just and a year on hes best i have seen him in 20years the fact i never saw him for 18 of them is a factor i suppose.
i did wonder myself if it was a herediaty thing as has been suggested, but every time i nearly hit the bottom i made myself talk to my friends. here or where you live you will always find them.
theres always a reason to keep going its the smile you put on other peoples faces.
Hey Keeno
From one anti D user to another. Don't you dare!!!!! I've thought about it a few times and believe me I've been that low too. Don't give in hun. I know life can be shite sometimes, but the nice thing about life and hormones is that it and they change and when they do the ups can be bluddy great. Live for the ups Keeno and don't let the downs win.
It probably goes without saying but my PM box is down there.
Love

I enjoy your posts. Keep coming back.

Hi everyone,
I'm feeling a lot better thanks so I guess the pills are working. biggrin I have been deeply moved by the response to this. I ummed and ahhed all morning before posting and I wrote it quickly and submitted without proof reading (I didn't want to lose my nerve)
The thread really was to say thank you to everyone to offering me hope on Sunday. It's strange how your mind works. I wouldn't do anything silly it seems without saying goodbye and I couldn't do that so I guess you all stopped me.

Keeno, so sad to hear you felt so low, Sunday was a bad day for a few. I've been there myself as a select few know on here. Sadly one or two of them think its a joke and like to tell everyone about it, I wonder if they would prod a one legged man till he fell over? Anyway, I came through my dark moments and I'm much better now, but sadly the same can't be said for one of my friends, a member on here, who took his own life a couple of weeks ago. He left a daughter and family and friends who cared deeply for him, but this site didn't save him, it contributed to it.
So sometime we can all take a moment to think of others who don't find the pleasure from this site that most do, and also maybe some people should think before they involve total strangers in personal information that is no ones business but their own, just for dramatic effect and a gossip. We all love the good times on here, and Keeno I'm pleased it helped you, but the bad times can hurt and damage people beyond repair, to a point where it might be too late to say sorry.
I wish you lots of smiles and lots of support to bring you out of the dark days and hope they never get any darker.

Before my 82 year old mother died in December of last year, she was on her computer half the day. She would do online crosswords,, online jigsaw puzzles and scrabble but above all she would communicate with her Townswomens guild friends. The network name she set up for her computer was “Sanity Saver” and I’m sure it saved hers on many occasions. The people we come into contact with each day, either in person or through cyberspace, are probably the most important reason to continue being around.
Keeno, I’ve never spoken to you or met you, but I hope one day I will. I’m glad you made the choice you did, and I hope you will see from the responses to this thread that you are important in other peoples lives as well as your own. I’m very glad that being on this site has helped you through a difficult time.
Shireen – I have spoken to you on several occasions, and it had brightened my day each time. Stay strong and don’t let it grind you down.
And this is a good opportunity to say “thanks” to all the other lovely people I’ve met on this site. Some of you I’ve met, and some only chatted or “forumed” but you are all now part of my life and I would miss you. Thanks.
kiss
Slog it out hun- whilst you're alive, theres always the potential to get better.
:kiss:
Shireen, to have been such a support to me & not said anything about the way you were feeling deserves a smackbottom
But have one of these instead :kiss:
HJ redface Thank you kiss
Winchy I didn't tell anyone hun as I really didn't want to talk to anyone even by PM or email... Those closest to me didn't realise... :kiss:
I will say though that 99% of the time if someone needs my ear/shoulder/support then it's there.... It actually helps me in some wierd way as it makes me feel wanted, if you see what I mean :undecided:
