Hey,I'm Justice,I read through some threads and saw the one on situational indicators for what could cause someone to become suicidal,and I'm also Bi-Polar.But as I read through them I was amazed at how accurate they were,because I fall under 10 of them right now.It scares me,because the thought has crossed my mind,but I've been fighting it off with what energy I have,which isn't much.I joined for support to help me keep fighting it,because I believe there is much more strength in numbers.I did lose my Father to a heart attack,my best friend is moving away,and I was just diagnosed with a terminal illness and I'm in my early 30's.There's so much more that I can't get into right now without getting too upset.But I'm hoping I can get support here,and maybe I can help some others to.I learned a lot from my Dad,he was a Psychologist,Ph.D. I'm just scared right now,cause my whole life has been flipped upside down.

Hello Justice-

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=38

I know you will find much caring support here

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT,IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BE THE ONE NEEDING IT.I AM A MODERATOR ON A DIFFERENT WEBSITE,HELPING TEENS,AND YOUNG ADULTS TO KEEP FROM CUTTING,AND HARMING THEM SELVES.BUT FOR ME TO START ASKING FOR HELP,I FEEL WOULD MAKE THEM FEEL I'M NOT STABLE ENOUGH TO HELP THEM,WHEN I'M REALLY GOOD AT WHAT I DO THERE.IT'S JUST A LOT DIFFERENT TO ADVISE YOURSELF,THEN TO GIVE ADVICE TO OTHERS.SO THANKS FOR BEING HERE!

(((((((((((((( Justice ))))))))))))))))

Even those of us that find ourselves caretakers need support as well. We have to take care of us to be able to give for others. I've learned this the hard way.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

We're here and listening.

Also, don't hesitate to post at psychcentral.com We have some really caring people over there as well. DOUBLE the support for you.

Don't hesitate to PM if you need. I'm an admin here and an admin at a mental health website, so I understand your need to maintain yourself for others. It can be a difficult balance, but again, we're here for you.
