How many of you are doing well now?

[Gaybonez]

I used to be extremely suicidal every day for nearly 3 years and I came on here every once and a while. After soul searching and medication I have been able to call myself happy since the beginning of this year or so. Is there anyone else on here doing well now?

i used to browse this forum everyday 3 years ago, i guess i could say i'm doing better? but i'm back here for a reason lol

I wouldn't say I'm doing well, but I am a lot more stable than I have ever been. I'm still suicidal, but I don't feel like I'm going downhill anymore. So that's something that might be a good sign

I'm definately doing better than say 3y ago. I would say that thanks to this forum, I don't feel so alone in the world. Also I believe that the Covid- 19 situation in some way have been helpfull. Suddenly everybody had to stay home, with family or maybe 1 or two friends. It has made me feel less alone, and more a part of the society.

Since I've started coming to SS everyday, I'm feeling much better.
I guess having a place to vent and talk to people who really understand the way I feel helps a lot!

I think I will always be suicidal but now I'm finally working and studying. I had been a NEET for almost 3 years. I really thought there was no way out from that hell for me!

Yes. I'm definitely doing better than a few years ago.

 

[Dreams and Visions]

I wish I could say that I was.

I feel like I go up and down but isolation is really getting to me.

This pretty much describes where I am at. I'm doing a lot better than just over a year ago and I'm back at work

I'm so glad to hear you're doing better!
Hope we can keep up the good work!

For a man that wants to dissapear I feel amazing.

 

[Sensei]

Against all odds, it seems I'm on the path to recovery, knock on wood to the power of one million, so I will probably not be around much from now on.

 

[electrojellysoup]

I'm pretty sure I'm deteriorating, ever since my last therapist dumped me last year it's been so difficult to find a new one with covid. I'm safe and stable though which is better than what many people can say.

 

[Leiden]

Certainly not me, but I wanted to come onto this thread and say that I was happy for anyone who is. From my heart, may all of you continue to do so

 

[saltshaker]

I'm doing well as long as i keep drinking, i'm digging myself into a hole though and i'll have to pay that debt eventually.

 

[Rolliewoo]

So happy to read this.... its amazing.
❤❤❤Well done man

 

[kovkay]

Instead of not feeling anything, I now mostly just feel anxious. I don't know. I guess I prefer this state than anhedonia/ apathy.

 

[FuneralCry]

I wish I could say I was doing well, but my mood is always 'I want to fall into an eternal sleep'

I'm not doing significantly better. I still have daily suicidal thoughts. However, dissociation has kicked in more frequently recently so it is less a matter of being in constant pain physically and emotionally and more a case of cruising on autopilot, just going through the motions, not entirely here. The flashbacks, nightmares and chronic pain aren't going anywhere anytime soon, and it's unlikely I will be granted funding for the treatment I need for any semblance of recovery, so I suppose the dissociative episodes are taking the edge off the panic, pain and hopelessness and replacing it with an empty void of numbness.

Not sure what is personally worse for me. The void or the pain.at least in the void I can just auto pilot the world around me.

 

[heretogethelp]

i'm not doing 'well' as such, just coping by finishing my work & spending my free time oversleeping or distracting myself with movies/tv shows.

 

[BeanyBoo]

I am feeling much better because my health improves with warmer weather.

"I am learning peacefulness, lying by myself quietly
As the light lies on these white walls, this bed, these hands.
I am nobody; I have nothing to do with explosions.
I have given my name and my day-clothes up to the nurses
And my history to the anesthetist and my body to surgeons."

My mental state started going downhill nearly 8 years ago (12yo)
Kinda started getting better after I started transitioning to male (3yrs ago), but I never really stay happy for long before I have a mental breakdown out of no where and feel like giving up all over again

Had I found this site before my last year of high school (don't think it even existed before then? I definitely would have tried out any method the second I had the time, so ig it still counts as improving since I've been coming here for at least a year now and haven't attempted anything
