In reply to Time To Leave, posted by leapingtall on April 9, 2003, at 11:18:18
Kristen, in addition to the reply I posted on teh other board, I would like to say that it is ok to leave. Many of us have left and come back. Maybe you will come back, maybe you will decide this place isn't for you.
But the most important thing is that clearly this board isn't helping you in your life right now. I think it is adding to your agitation. YOur life is full of stress now and you are seeming very agitated. Many of us worry about you but also might feel angry at you because it is hard to have someone announce suicidal intentions and then leave. I know it isn't as hard as being the one who is suicidal, though. And I know that when someone is in such distress it is important to get in-person help rather than rely on a web site for help.
Please, please, Kristen, get care in person. Maybe hospitalization or day treatment could help you get stabilized and out of the stress of your family home, which I know must be so difficult from what you describe.
Please take care of yourself by getting the care you need in person. You deserve not to suffer like this, and it is possible to get better through treatment, even though at dark times like this it may not seem possible.
