God must be watching out for me...

#1 Postby yoda » Sat Jul 10, 2004 3:18 am

I find it very weird. I sincerely believe now that over the past few weeks God has been watching over me, and helping me through the ruts in the road. I must admit, (and please no screaming at me!!!) I attempted suicide last night. I'm sorry to all. I know that this was wrong and is not right, but I tried it anyway. I meant to take the last 1/3 of a bottle of Robitussin, :eek: :cry: which would have been like 5+ tablespoons, i.e. I tried to OD myself. But, after taking 1 tablespoonful, I dropped the bottle and the medicine spilled out onto my shirt. When I picked the bottle up it was empty. I had a firm grip on that bottle, and only God himself (sorry if I am being bad here) or some miracle could have tipped that bottle over and spilled all of it out. I feel lucky and amazed, knowing that I am still alive. :eek: :D

To all of you guys, this is again a hard time I am going through. :cry: I understand that I have to "talk it out," but sometimes I just find it hard to do that. I don't like telling people my problems, especilly if its suicide. I keep thinking I can take care of it, even though I can't. I will probably see a psychologist on Monday, so hope all goes well there.

Oh dear, what an emotional rollercoaster! Unfortaunately, I just can't seem to get off... :cry: :cry: :cry: :eek:

Matt
P.S. I am still here... :D :eek:

No ones gonna YELL at you Brother, you simply need some HELP! Believe it or NOT....our Heavenly Father DOES have a GRAND plan for you and your work here on this Earth isn't done, simple as that!

Ya know....there is NOTHING in this world that is THAT bad to make someone want to end his/her life, I TRULY believe that with ALL my heart and soul. PLEASE, by ALL means, seek some professional help here Matt, talk to a counsler, a pastor of a church, whoever, just get some help!

Dude...when you say you know you need to talk it out, I seriously want you to do that WITH someone. And soon! Someone at church, at the hospital, someone face-to-face.

Worst thing in the world when you're facing a bout of depression is to allow only YOUR mind to talk to you. You keep replaying the same negative thoughts over and over and it is NOT healthy. I know -- been there, done that. I know it's possible to get past it.

It doesn't matter how bad things get financially, romantically, professionally, or whatever. It ALL gets better eventually and you look back on times like last night and say, "Wow...I would have missed out on these good times now if I'd gone through with it."

And God knows I know the pain of self-hatred. It had nothing to do with my sexuality (which is often the case in many teen suicides). It was all the crap and humiliation that my mom beat into my system, both physically and verbally, since I was a kid. But, 19 years ago - July 11, 1985 :) -- that attitude inside me changed and all the negativity got washed out of my system, thanks to a great church group in Starkville, MS. I know just how worthless, desperate, and hopeless one can feel when they're at the brink of suicide. And you don't feel worthy of God's love...or anyone's. But you don't have to change ANYTHING for Him to come into your heart. HE changes YOU.

There will always be trials in your life (been going through one this past week). No one can promise you a big beautiful rose garden. But once you've been to the bottom and you're able to climb back out again, you gain that resolve, strength, and determination, along with a whole new outlook on life and your future, that helps you make it through the next one...and the next one...and the next one. :)

Matt, I'm praying my heart out for you. Please go be with someone and talk with someone. Don't stay inside and keep all your thoughts between your ears. Let it out, get it out, scream it out. And check back in when you can and let us know how things are. :)

Suicide = a permenant solution to a temporary problem.

Matt, listen to Dennis. He is telling you right. No matter what is going on in your life, God will make a way for you. The bible promises that we will not be tempted beyond our ability to cope.

Dennis is right. Galveston Duck is right. Get help. You are worth it.
Be blessed,

Denise

Scream it out works for me.

Good advice, Duck. "Give your troubles to Jesus" is the best bumper sticker I've ever seen and that's what I do anytime I have any.

Take a few minutes, yoda, and contemplate those troubles and just release them to your Lord. According to the Christians I know, he'll take them off your shoulders. And it works, start with some deep breathing and then some prayer.

Or, tell it to the Complaints Department

There's always something worse and remembering that can help you drag yourself above whatever is getting you down. The psych help will help you there.

Good luck feeling happy.

Matt, suicide is the worst thing anyone can EVER do. I've been through a very tough life (dad doing drugs, not giving us enough money, etc...) and I've never even THOUGHT of suicide. I know it'll get better, and God helps a lot. I just prayed last night and said, "God, please show my dad that he needs to treat us better!" ... and the next day my dad dropped of $400! :)

Matt, things will get better. Keep praying, talk to somebody, and keep the faith. God bless!

Footprints In the Sand"

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.


Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.


When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.


He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.


He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.


This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:


"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:


"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."



Matt, He was with you last night. He will always be with you. I am praying for you to find the strength and the courage to overcome this hurtle in your life. I know you can do it. Please get help as soon as you can. God bless you.

Consider this, Matt

If you decide to kill yourself you can't change your mind after you're dead.

Thanks guys. It really helps to know that I can count on you guys to help me out. I am seeing Dr. Deichman on Monday; she's a pyschologist who works at the place where I work during the week. I see her at 3 PM. I really just need the help, I guess. You are all right, I do try to keep it all to myself. I have talked about my suicide attempts and depression to a few of my friends, and they just seemed a little angry, but worried for me. I have my cell by my bed with their phone numbers on it so I can call them if I need to. I even am a member of a website that Johnathan gave me back in JUNE! Thanks bud! Thanks for all your prayers and I hope that I can get off this bumpy ride. We shall see... :cry:

Matt, what you NEED at this point in time are MEDS, Xanax, Valium ANYTHING to calm you DOWN. Do me a favor, is there a Trama Center, ER, Urgent Care near you that you can go to TONIGHT? PLEASE, by ALL means, don't do ANYTHING STUPID until you SEE someone, OK?

Anybody here have Matt's contact information?

Matt, you need to call 911 or a hotline now. I know that thinking -- that whole thought process of wanting the pain to end and thinking that if you could just sleep for a really long time (or die), then it would be all over.

Dude, don't wait til Monday.

Matt,

I am extremely sorry to hear of your current issues. I am also in high school (I assume you are too from some of your previous posts) and would be glad to talk anytime... please feel free to PM or AIM. I sincerely hope you can make it through this low point in your depression and avoid suicide, and begin the road to recovery.
