Accepted Answer

Call crisis line: Brian, i wish i was by your side right now, or that it were some way within my power to show you that life is indeed worth living. It's all-too-common for folks' brains to play tricks on them and tell them they want to die. You don't. 99% of people like you who tried & failed are glad 1 year later; they find love / meaning. The depokote won't kill you, but true help is a phone call away.
