Drew (username I Miss You) has really been struggling with suicidal thoughts lately. I know from my brief time in the forums that a lot of people really care about him, so I'm dedicating this special thread as another way for us to show how much he means to us. Please join me in reminding Drew that he is not a bad person and that the things he blames himself for are not really his fault.
Drew, you're very much loved and appreciated here on RYL!! <3 Please don't feel bad about not lending advice to others when you have so much going on yourself. Sometimes you just need to be here to receive support yourself. You're very important and we all want to help your get through his darkness. Together, we can beat anything. Please try to take care of yourself and get to a hospital if you fear you might do anything harmful. You are worth so much more than that, dear.
*Hugs*

You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it.
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Oh, even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah" - Paramore
Haven't particularly talked to you but I do care, and I hope things get better for you soon. There is light out there, it's just a case of finding the switch.

hey, *hugs* you can get through this. and we are here if you need support or advice or just someone to listen.
i too have trouble with blaming myself for things that aren't my fault. i try to remember that most things aren't anybody's fault. blame just doesn't belong in the equation. and the things that are attributable to certain people are usually caused by more than one person, and if i am one of the people at fault, i'm not the only one.
also, i try to take a step back and think about whether the thing i feel guilty for is going to matter, or even be remembered in a week or a month or a year (often times they won't be)...
this is my magical medicine cabinet. Left to right they contain: courage, hope, calmness, and strength.
The magical part: They NEVER run out, so borrow some any time you want.
*hugs* Hope you're doing alright. I know how difficult it can be to not blame yourself for things sometimes, but I'm sure you're not at fault for anything that happened. You're not at all a bad person. Hang in there, and keep safe. Just a PM away if you need<3

We are male and female. We are artists, athletes, and students. We have depression, PTSD, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, or maybe no diagnosis at all. Some of us were abused, some not. We come from all walks of life and can be any age. We are every race or religion that you can think of. Our common link is this: We are in pain. We self-injure. And we are not freaks.
You definately deserve this, we all care about you Drew. You are a good and great person. Take care, and i hope you can start feeling better soon
Do your demons, do they ever let you go?
When you've tried do they hide deep inside
is it someone that you know You're just a picture
you're an image caught in time
We're a lie, you and I we're words without a rhyme
There's no sign of the morning coming
you've been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark just a rainbow in the dark

You are not done, you've fought on before, fight this again. i believe you can. You deserve to live and need to stay alive.

I wish i had some advice to offer. You need hugs; so hugs x 10000000(that 1 million).

i think its just a matter of time before i kill myself

You won't remember me, but we met years ago on another forum, me sporting a different name. I don't know how we lost touch, but I've thought of you many times, hoping you're ok. You helped me, and I'm sure I'm right in saying that you will have helped a lot of people here. Nobody is all good or all bad...I know you feel that you're bad, and I know what it is to feel like that, but you're a good guy. Surely helping out others is something you can count towards "being good". I understand how badly you feel you need to die..because somehow, I'm back there, too. I hope you find the strength to Stay, and to Fight. You matter. I know I was never much use to you, but I am sorry we lost touch.
Thinking about you and worried about you Drew, please stay safe and take care of yourself, you are too important not to

If you have a plan then its well past time for you to reach out to a crisis team the hospital(like going to emergency and telling them your plan), or at the very least calling a crisis hotline. I know i probably sound like another broken record, but you need to keep yourself safe, please do not under any circumstances carry out your plan, please be safe, please please please
