YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

How I am feeling tonight:

What is death?

It is the huge empty hole in my heart being filled.
It is the pain crushing my body from the inside out subsiding.
It is not facing waking up tomorrow.
It is the most peaceful, numbing calm that has ever come over my body.
It is the world not missing me for a single moment.
It is the rot inside my body being healed in an instant.
It is an endless sleep to cleanse my soul.
It is the end to the burden I have placed on others in my presence.
It is feeding an aching hunger.
It is real love…finally.

Hi.
Sounds like you felt, really, really bad yesterday. I hope that today looks a little better. I don't know what else I can say other than I am sorry that you hurt so bad, but I am really glad that you reached out here for support. I honor your pain, I wish you strength and resilience and I hope that you find the energy to keep pushing forward. If you are still feeling this bad, I hope that you can call the Suicide Prevention number at the top of the forum or contact some other resources. There is lots of love out there for you, even from complete strangers.
