I had a moment a little while ago that made me a little proud of the progress I've made.

I was washing the dishes, and suddenly smelled the strong scent of a candle in front of me. Part of me started to feel panic, and at first I didn't understand why I was so upset. Then I realized that it was a candle that my ex has that I've lit a couple of times. After ...

I feel really alone sometimes because I have survived a suicide attempt and have some pretty bad scars as a result. I just passed the one year anniversary and these days I'm not much less depressed, but I'm less suicidal, I suppose. What I would like to know is if there is anyone else out there who has survived and feels ashamed / misunderstood ? Everyone says suicide is an attempt to manipulate. This is ...

I think prozac only worked for about 3 days.
