I know the constant pain and struggles of everyday rsd life makes us all have extremely weak times. When I wrote this message, I was so tired. it had been 4 days and nights since I had last slept. If i had been in my right-mind, I never would have introduced myself like I did.

As I've already written, I found this site while looking up RSD and suicide, but I left out the most important part. I was looking for ideas and things that others with rsd might do to stop thinking about suicide.

My stepsister took her own life 5 years ago...almost 6. She had liver failure and other related medical problems due to her drinking and drug addiction. I saw what her giving up did to everyone around her.

Personally, I see a psychologist every two weeks. She tells me that I am too smart to give up. I appreciate her building up the way I feel about myself, but honestly, she doesn't know what heck I live through each day.

I did get a little sleep twice today finally. I'm still not thinking right, but a little better.
