Oh, for sure. I never expect immediate results. It’s been six weeks since the med adjustment, and I’m trying to be objective about whether it’s working or not. Kind of tough for me sometimes

Oh okay, that’s a decent amount of time.

I was put on a antidepressant a couple years ago and it was hard for me to tell if it was really doing anything or not…

Exactly, I feel completely detached from reality and like I lost my emotional connection to everyone. I f*cking hate it

Last night I thought maybe suicide was okay. Today I just don’t think I have the right to die. I have to have faith. Not talking religiously because I belong to no religion and have no group I go to that believes in a higher power. My main voice said it was he which is really insulting since he outright tried to kill me. I outlasted him and he lost patience and came out of the closet. We discussed last night about not putting so much stock in voices. Mine are just inventive- hey, I’m a smart guy but looking at it closely he doesn’t seem real. I feel stupid: my ideas are so limited! I need to write my cousin a hand written letter. Better yet I should start my new journal. Maybe I won’t bother with punctuation, a good creative idea for beginning writers. I hope I continue to feel good, I don’t want to make the irreversible mistake of suicide!

No, we don’t want you going that Road, @Jinx . Starting the new Journal sounds like an excellent idea. I should start journalling again myself

It is important to have hope during hard situations. I learned that from a guy, who has no arms or legs.
