What advice would you give to deal with helplessness or frustration after a failed recovery attempt?

If you haven't yet, we highly encourage you to check out our Recovery Resources thread!

Hey Guest,
As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

Security update: At around 2:28AM EST, the site was labeled as malicious by Google erroneously, causing users to get a "Dangerous site" warning in most browsers. It appears that this was done by mistake and has been reversed by Google. It may take a few hours for you to stop seeing those warnings.
If you're still getting these warnings, please let a member of staff know.
I might ask someone "how can you care for yourself at this moment in a way that increases your felt-safety and offers a bit of comfort?" And then I would try to support them in doing that.
The "comfort" angle has more merit than many may at first appreciate.
One might feel hopeless about the big picture often because they have become detached from the small simple pleasures that define much of daily life. It is important to have an anchor.

I've already thought about this, right after a failed attempt I wouldn't even think about it. No judgements allowed. If I needed to rest then okay but as soon as I was able, I would try again. The reasons haven't changed after all. But that's me. I'm older and things really are without hope. For young able bodied person whose "only" issue is depression over a girlfriend leaving them or whatever (and I am NOT minimizing their pain), then they tend to take that as a sign the suicide wasn't meant to be.
Are we allowed to post links here? let's see https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/means-matter/means-matter/survival/ 70%+ of the people who fail an attempt, perceive that as "wasn't meant to happen" so they try to make their life better. I guess this is why the pro-lifers try so hard to prevent suicide in young people.
How are you feeling today?
