Today, I called 911 and got taken to hospital via ambulance after a suicide attempt. When I called my mom, the first thing she asked was, "How much is the ambulance going to cost?" FML
I agree, your life sucks 2 879
You deserved it 998

Same thing different taste

Praying for you. I hope things get better for you. There’s always Celebrate Recovery meetings at various churches. I find that has helped me. Anyone can come to Celebrate Recovery. Some people go for addictions, others go for help with anxiety and depression and even other issues.

Well if you don't care about your own well being why should anyone else. Life is a blessing I have visited countries where most of the population is starving to death impoverished to the point where they live in a hovel of a hut that smells like shit because their bathroom is a hole in the ground next to where they sleep and they fight for life every day and some of them still smiling as I walked by so sorry if I can't manage to feel sorry for you either.

You know, you make quite the valid point. However, you should never judge someone elses journey. OP only talked about making an attempt and calling the police but theres no backstory. The countries you have visited, my heart goes out to them. Their quality of life may be poor, but they are resilient as ****. And that's how we should all be, regardless of what comes our way.

Other people having it worse doesn’t negate OP’s feelings, especially since depression is often due to a chemical imbalance in the brain.

Please, please get the help you need. Understand that the world is a puzzle and people fit the pieces together, and we need all the pieces, including you. I’ve had episodes of feeling depressed, but trust me you can find a lifestyle of happiness and positivity if you seek it out. Get help please and shame on your mom for having such a reaction. You are loved and one day you will get to a place where you can have inner peace. Work towards making things better for yourself, not giving up and doing something irrational.

This was honestly so beautiful! You're an amazing soul! If you ever need someone to talk to about your depression, please send me a message.

...you called 911? Isn't it generally someone else who calls?

Gofuckyourself 24

Not necessarily. Clearly OP did not want to die. I'm assuming they had thoughts, went through with something, and realized they did not want to die, they just wanted the pain to end.

listen to the song "Ghost By Badflower" there is a lyric that says "maybe I didnt really wanna die." you may understand.... watch the video as well.

"Yeah mom I get you. Im dying to know that myself"

I feel like if you wanted her to care more about it you didn't actually want to kill yourself.

That's not how mental health works.

It kindve is once you think about how you’re affecting others while you’re hurting.

When i found out an ex had brain cancer around 6 years ago,i didn't take it well, life had already dragged me through hell and i was ready to give up.I took every drug i had in my stash,wokeup having seizures, blacking out again and wokeup a few days later in hospital with a ventilator and on dialysis. I'm not going to say life gets better, because sometimes it doesn't. One of the best ways to keep on going is to make some goals These goals become the anchors keeping you here. Make a few moderately difficult goals to keep your mind on the right track. Try to distance yourself from the people and things in life making you depressed upset ect, the things causing you pain, if you can.

Wow, it takes a lot of courage to open up so I feel that you're very brave for doing that. I'm so happy that you're here today.

I don’t think you deserve it but I’m not gonna say life sucks cause what you were thinking about was every selfish and my sister went through the same shit. Think about others before yourself sorry🤷🏽‍♂️

Yes, suicide is selfish, but people with suicidal thoughts aren’t thinking logically. From my personal experience, reasons could be thinking of others first so much that it’s detremental to myself, thinking it’s better for those around me than if I were still alive, or just being too alone in the world with this burden. It’s entirely possible for a person to commit suicide thinking they are thinking of others first. On another note, if someone’s depression is that bad, they shouldn’t think of others. They need to focus on themself and on getting the help they need to get better.
