Guilt is some powerful shit. That is my problem too. If I hear the phrases "get over it" or "get past it" one more time...
If it was THAT easy to "get over" something don't people think we would?
As far as shame goes, I think that may run deeper than guilt. There are still things I have done that I can't/won't talk about. (Funny story: last time I went to tell my shrink about something I was ashamed of, I turned my chair so my back was facing him!! Anything not to have him looking at my face while I was talking about it.)
Someone once told me shame is within us because we have done something that went beyond our own personal belief system. That may be. I also get frustrated and pissed off when people say things like "What's the worst you could have done?" Like I would tell them after a comment like that. Yikes!!
I would never deny the right to make your own choice. I just want you to be able to see that the people on this board really care for you.
If you read my post on the Social board, I hope you really will try to take a look around to be sure suicide is your only option left.
I want you to find peace as much as I want peace for myself. If either one of us finds it, let's make a deal that we will share the answer with the other. It's not fair that they people who have survived and prospered after depression and being so hurt, leave and never tell the rest of us how to stop hurting.
Tina, if you want to talk privately, let me know and I will forward my email to you. I think we are in the same place (or at least the same general area) and maybe we could keep each other company through it.
