Ï'm not going to go into all the "good" reasons I have to end my life, as I don't think their relevant. Survise to say I live a isolated life with a permanent disability, grown kids that ingnor me, and below the poverty line... Well, after reading a book on the subject I made a plan and carefully carried out my plan, ALMOST, I did OD on sleeping pills but that was not the intended fatal blow. When it came to the last part the part in me that has always fought and seen me through the worst kicked in and I changed my mind.
But, unfortunately the OD of zoplicone caused me to black out for a couple of days and I have no memory of my actions. I know I wrecked my car, among other very embarassing acts.
So, I am not only left with all the horible feelings that brought me to that point, but the very expensive consequses of my actions. (And yes I already realize I am very lucky I did not kill anyone else)

I FEEL LIKE THE WORST PERSON!! How can I begin to get on with a normal life? (and counselling is not avail where I live)

Any feedback would be apprecieated

I am NOT suicidal. It's dealing with deciding to live that's got me confused and scared.

No prob, I guess that would be odd. It was nice of you to comment. Would you believe I am actually a counseller by trade. But I am also BiPolar.
It happens to everyone.

I'm confused,
You want to live, yes ?
There are hotlines everywhere, start there. If you want to just vent go ahead. Getting it all out of your system is a start. There are better places to get help.

Find something you love to do and put all your heart into it. Deal with what happened and then leave it behind, don't get scared about living your life, just know that you're in it now and being scared really just makes it a lot less worthwhile than what it can be.

If you're a counselor by trade, why is this unavailable? Do you know someone that's good or do you have anyone at all to trust? Just concerned, you're in a difficult dilemma.

I know this sounds bad, but I have tried those hotlines a couple of times and they are not effective for me because of their obligations. If I tell them that yes I have been thinking of it seriously. Or if that I have tried it they have to send the police.

As for venting, I have but a couple of friends and I worry about becoming a "emotional sponge" or drag on them.

It's unavailable to me because the resources in my community are so small, everyone knows everyone. I would be risking my job.

I like this advice. I have not worked out in quite a while. I know that does not sound like much, but it made me feel good.
