Alphabet what about going upstairs and getting him? He loves you right? He'd want to know.

Miltons poem..."Paradise lost" is marvelous...

He hates it when I go to the hospital. He completely falls apart.

Alphabet.
Talk to somebody about those feelings.
I had them for quite a while when drinking and for a while after.
Help is out there (and here) but you need to tell somebody .
Keeping that stuff inside just lets it go round and round.
Expose those thoughts to the light and air and it helps.
Just as it has done here I hope.

Alphabet I can understand that you might be worried about going but sometimes it's the best thing. You know?

I know the thought of the hospital and upsetting your boyfriend are uncomfortable, but that will just be a temporary discomfort.

They will help and you will be safe.

Please wake up your boyfriend and tell him you need to go.

So many people hurt far more than I do. They struggle with far less, and live.

Why do I have such an intense will to take myself down? It's like I was born with a "self destruct" button that I'm constantly toying with.

It is lovely that you are thinking about him.

As Afloat says talking is very important...for everyone and especially for us.

Have you been to the hospital before for these feelings?

Alphabet I think we can get caught up in who "hurts the most". The thing is you're hurting now and getting someone to help you with that might help you feel better.

Like the shampoo ad says "You're worth it." You really are.

I think it matters less 'why' than simply that you are having these thoughts.

There are lots of potential reasons why, and with help you can explore and understand that. But right now while you're in the grip of feeling this way, what you need is safety and support.

Alphabet, what about calling? Letting go and getting help can really make a difference.

I have and I haven't. I've been to detox countless times and pretty much neglected my depression, telling them it was probably the booze talking.

It's not. It was easy to forget those years of cutting and wishing I would die every minute of every day as a teenager.

The sun is coming up. Boyfriend already wanted to take me to the doctor for my shoulder (I have REALLY bad joints).

Alphabet, you are not other people, other people are other people, it is about you.
Your biggest priority is you and you first.

I have had these feeling before.....it helped me to get help.

Can you call a cab or ambulance to go to the hospital?

I sincerely don't think I am. That's the problem.

I'd suggest otherwise. I've seen some of your posts, I know your screen-name and you strike me as very worthwhile.

You are worthy. Everybody on this earth is. You are no less worthy than others. Get your severe depression treated. Get to the hospital if you are suicidal.

Alphabet

The 'why' you are feeling this way can be looked at only when you have told the right people that you 'do' feel this way.
Start the process again.
You will uncover and deal with the causes in due course.
Try to get somewhere safe and tell somebody what is going on.
As has been said you ARE worth it.
We all are Alphabet.
