I tried to commit suicide and did not expect to survive, but i did survive and had to have my leg amputated. can not forgive myself. how do i move on and live with it? how do people overcome this?

It's good to hear: that you are motivated to live on and forgive yourself today. We all have wounds from past mistakes, yours is more visible. After clearance from your doc or mental health professional, please consider working for a suicide prevention group or hotline. Using our past suffering to help others can be a win-win. Peace and good health.

Psychotherapy: Successful recovery will depend on quality psychotherapy. Severe depression is difficult to manage without professional help. Please find a therapist you can work with, and start your road to a happier, healthier life.

I hope we can help.: It's going to be hard, but it can be worthwhile. Forgiveness tends to happen in the background. You may not even realize it's happened - but you just feel better. Dr. Russo's right. You need to find a psychotherapist just right for you and that may mean a few tries. They need to get to know and care for YOU. which takes time together - trust must build.
