I am blessed to be posting this today

Ok, this is a bit of a long read, and it might be a little depressing, so if you dont know me, or dont care about me, GTFO and stop reading now. I am only writing this as a way to expel some of my thoughts.

Some of you might know about my legal issues ive been dealing with for the last 2 years, thats not the issue, its part of it, but a small part. After months and months of pressure from probation to go to meetings, make payments, go to counseling, it began to build up. On top of that, i picked up a extra work load at work, and im not getting paid anymore for it. I cant hang out with my good friends from highschool anymore cause all they do is smoke weed and drink beer every night. I couldnt be around that. Well on monday, i failed a UA at probation, for the 2nd time. I smoked some weed last week to releave some stress, now that i look at it, i would have been better off just going and pullin one out instead lol.

well after my PO telling me theres a good chance im looking at jail time, or going to inpatient treatment. I kinda lost it. everything seemed null and void. i did not want to be here anymore. Not cause i cant smoke weed, not cause im in debt, not cause the extra work load, not cause of the friends i do not have. But all of them combined. yesterday, at 11:45am i sat down, smoked a cigarette, and started writing. To my mom, my caregiver, my sole provider.

i was writing a suicide note.

I finished my cigarette, walked inside, rigged up an electrical cord across my door way, then tried to hang myself. After putting the loop around my neck, and slouching down on it. i blacked out. I woke up, 45 minutes later when my mom came home from lunch, soaking wet, in my bed, with different boxers on. I do not know what happened after i blacked out, i cant help but thing someone or something, made that cord snap. someone made me get in bed. someone was looking out for me, so
meone or something saved my life.

My best friend died on 7.2.2004 after being hit by a car. I cant help but think it was him that saved my life. My mom is helping me get some counseling, cause apprently there are some depression issues we havent seen.

I do not want to try it again, if it didnt work the first time, its proof im meant to be here for something. Other than my mom, and my boss, i havent told anyone else about this. But opening up a bit helps alot, and i know my AL.com friends will always be there for me.

cheerish every minute of your life, Since yesterday at 11:45am, i know i have began to appreciate life. Take a drive with the windows down, no radio, listen to nature. Go sit in the park, listen to yourself. I regret holding everything in until it bursted like it did yesterday.

i will most likely be entering a 30day inpatient treatment program, which i think is stupid for just weed, but apparently if i cant not smoke while on probation, i might as well have a problem, and if treatment keeps me out of the pokey, i welcome it with open arms.

Thank you for reading, i love you all

Wow man, broke my heart for what you did. I think your friend that passed away (RIP) saved you. You gotta live life to the fullest. You only live once. Please, for the love of God, don't do that again. If you need to talk about something, we got your back. I know your a strong person with a strong heart, you should be happy man. Keep it real mayne. From one love to another, brotha.

Keep your head up man. It will only be better after you're out of trouble.

I was in the same situation when I was 18. I was on probation and I failed a UA. I was looking at some serious time and a loooooong extention of probation. Long story short I got lucky. I went to the can a few times after that but nothing serious. Just keep your nose clean and eventually all this shit will go away. Pay off your debt as best as you can and you'll be much happier.

I've never been to a rehab but if it's anything like jail then books, books, books are your friend. Before you know it you'll be out.

I don't know you or your story dude. But I'm sure glad you're still here man. Nothing is worth giving up your life. Tragedies in our life mold us to become what we are. Hang in there man, all of these shall pass, and maybe you can look back at it one day and laugh about it with your friends.

Woah Wyaat, im glad your still here! Someone was looking out for you. you know the forum will hear you out if you need it. Vent to your venting content. Just remember, we are here for you. As far as your debt, we all get into a little bit of debt, but there is nothing in life worth killing yourself over. As far as depression goes, it is a serious business and should not be taken lightly. Wyaat, there are people here for you, dont hesitate to ask for help.

thanks man, i cant help but think it was Cody that saved me. i have never really been a religious person, my nephew was born with a combonation of sever diseases that the chances are about 1 in 33million to get it. he is severly handicapped and has several severe seizures a day. What kinda god would do that to a poor child?!? but i cant help but thing of fate or devine intervention here. something stopped it from happening.

thanks man, it really sucks that someone can tell you what you can put in your body eh? i dont believe in it. But im under their rule. So i guess i need to abide by it
