Comment	Hello mate. I'm sorry that life is tough for you at the moment. i really need to emphasise though that dying in your sleep or otherwise is not an optimal solution. Have you tried writing a note to your best friend and mailing it to them, it might be a way to prod them into reacting to you and communicating how much the friendship means to you. If you can, get something to eat, doesn't really matter what it is, but that alone will give you a little kick of energy. When i get depressed I tend to close the curtains and let my living space go to shit. I don't know if your in the same place, but if so - just letting the sun hit my face can give me a distraction that I find vital. I know your counsellor/CPN might not always be the best and easiest persno to talk to, trust me I've been there, and I struggle to find a rapport. But you need to know that they are the people you need to reach to if you are feeling really bad, our illnesses can trick us into thinking that they are useless, when really they can be the thing we need even if it's not what we want. I don't know what kind of games you are into, but what I just want the day to fast forward until I get that little jump start, I play Civ 5 and it seems to make time disapear.
