Yeah, when I was 18 I hit a big depression.
I was unemployed, socially awkward, and my parents were threatening to kick me out because I couldn't find a job.
Tried to kill myself twice, once with an overdose but somehow I came out of it. Took about 15 of my moms prescription pills and was never caught either. Just woke back up in my bed. I honestly don't know how I survived, unless that amount wasn't enough.
The second time, I tried to hang myself. The rope snapped.
After that I talked to my parents and told them everything. Was in therapy for about 3 years.
Now, at 25 years old, I realize that the reasons I tried to commit suicide were so stupid and I still can't believe that I actually tried.
A lot of things look stupid in retrospect. If you can learn to mature from those mistakes they're not mistakes, rather life lessons.
Yeah, and the therapy and the talking helped big time.
It made me see that trying to kill yourself at such a young age is essentially like leaving the movie theatre during the previews.
(Above is a quote that actually helped me out a lot, can't remember who said it originally but my therapist basically forced it into my head.) My school and parents tried me to make me see a therapist and I hated it. I would sit across from her for an hour barely talking. It wasn't because I hated her or theapy, its because growing up I was never close to my family so I didn't know how to talk to others about my problems. Hell I still don't, if I have a problem I try to solve it myself or just forget about it,
