Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that I've been discharged from the hospital. I attempted suicide Wednesday night and was taken to the hospital Thursday morning. I can't express how terrible I feel for doing this, and how I hurt everyone I love as soon as I went through with it. I decided that my suicide attempt won't be for nothing. It made me realize that I can't keep living like this, and made me remember how many of you care. So I'm going to try my best to change for the better, I know it will take a long time and a lot of work but I hope that there will be a time where I can look back at this point in my life as a terrible mistake and as a learning experience. I love you all very much, and don't think for a second that I forgot about you guys at any point during this. I'm sorry for doing this to everyone, and I understand completely if some of you don't forgive me. - Evelyn
I know we haven't talked per se one on one here, but I feel like I've gotten to know you through your posts. Thoughts have been with you since I heard. We all have our moments of weakness, when the pressure gets to be too much and we fall. No need to ask forgiveness from me. I'm just glad you came through and are back here with us. Welcome back Fugs.
I believe I can say for all of EC that we are happy you are back and will be on the road to recovery. I'm sorry that things got so bad as to need to do such a thing. But I will not judge, as I have been there myself at the age of 19. I am just happy you're going to get better.(*hug*)
I'm glad you're back, and I just want you to be safe. Are you getting some professional mental health attention?
(*hug*) I've been put on an antidepressant and am going to see a new psychiatrist on Monday. I'm also going to see about getting anti anxiety medication.
I'm glad to read that you are okay and also glad that you will be seeing a new psychiatrist on Monday. (*hug*)
I'm so glad you're back, safe and sound. It's good to hear that you've thought through what has happened and are seeking help from someone who deals with transgender concerns. You're wonderful, Evelyn and to lose you would be terrible. Just remember that everyone on EC is always here for you. And keep that chin up. (*hug*)
I'm glad that your attempt failed, and that it gave you a wake up call to understand you are loved, and that you know you need to, and indeed already are, looking to get better. <3
Going along with TJM's comment, I'm sure many here can relate or understand being in a similar position, so please don't blame yourself. We're just glad that you're okay, and hope that your recovery goes well.
I'm glad to see that you are back and that you attempt failed. I'm also glad to see that you're getting the help that you need.
I'm not going to say any empty words. I don't know you, and you don't know me. But, we're here. I tried (or at least I think I tried) to help you before. So let me ask this: Have we not helped you at all? Have we not been there to support you? If that's the case, we are the ones who should be apologizing. I can't talk for everybody, but at least I speak for me: I'M SO SORRY TO HAVE FAILED YOU. Even with simple things like words, I could have helped, for small or insignificant it were. You know why you did what you did, but I know (because I known people like that) that it takes only a friendly word to keep you out of suicide. While you come out of this one alright, you may have not so. And I apologize for not being there to say a simple word.
I'm so glad you're home, and that you're using this experience to grow. Your strength is admirable. As other posters have said, I think the majority of us have been there before, and we unconditionally love and support you <3
I don't believe I've had the pleasure of speaking with you before but I am very happy that you're better now.
