Give Up Already

Giving up is so easy, so natural to me 
No one else cares so why should I... 
I don't have the strength in me to battle
things have gone back to how they were before..
I figured everyone would come to the realization I need serious help 
Not just a stay at a hospital for a few days and nights 
She promised a vigorous amount of therapy 
To mend a mood disorder and addiction I can never come to mends with
I've had a plethora of thoughts of making bad decisions 
Most of them I made reality 
I wish I could say after my suicidal attempt I've done better 
I wish I could say I will never do it again.. 
I wish I could say I won't give up.. but I know I wouldn't mean it

Living alone can bring on black moods for me too Selena , Loneliness drives me insane sometimes I suppose I'm lucky because I also love to laugh and I find an episode of Mrs Browns boys on telly or on you tube , Determined I won't laugh this time but I always fail and end up with the giggles . Find the thing that lifts the gloom for you , Make that your safe haven whenever those clouds darken.

Hi, My heart goes out to you. You have been given this task to undertake in this lifetime, to experience it and overcome with God's help, so that you can help others who find themselves in your position. Please find something in your life that makes you happy even if only for a millisecond. In that time your despair will not govern you. Build on this and increase the time and things you enjoy to do. Have something to look forward to, favourite tv program, eating goodies, chat with a friend.luv
