I've been suicidal for almost 10 years now. There has only been one time when I was actually in danger of going through with it. In fact I would have definitely done so, if I had the means. Luckily I did not.
The rest of the time I've stayed just shy of the abyss, and haven't made any active plans. I promised to tell my wife immediately should I make any. At my worst I was fantasising about killing myself every waking moment, and could barely move or function. I've made considerable progress since then, and it's been those that love me who have got me through it. Without them, I doubt I'd be here today.
I now have more people who love me now than ever before, that number has grown considerably over my time on this forum. It is that strength that keeps me going; along with a desire to help others who are also suffering. It is theraputic for me to listen to and support others, even when I'm feeling totally empty inside.
