Breaking point Quote by Patience

“How many of you have been institutionalized because you were suicidal?Did it help?I've been thinking a lot about suicide here lately,but at the same time,I really don't want to die.I just want someone to help me. I've thought about telling my counselor how I've been feeling,how I've been thinking about death a lot.I just thought maybe being in the hospital might help.I just really want to die.I feel so alone and empty,so hopeless.Things that usually interest me have no meaning now.I'm tired of feeling this way.I want to feel better.I want to be able to live again and actually enjoy being alive.Lately,whenever I'm walking or in a parking lot,I've thought about maybe jumping in front of a car. I've considered overdosing on sleeping pills. I've thought about slitting my wrists.If I had a gun I would shoot myself.I don't trust myself to be alone anymore.I'm at a breaking point.I know people would probably look down on me if I went into a hospital for help,but lately I've been thinking that it's the best thing for me right now.I can't live like this anymore.I can't pretend I'm fine.I can't do this..”
