Basia,
I had to respond because my sisters name is also Basia, although reading your post was enough to want me to give you a hug. I really hope you stick through these tough times because you get appreciate the good times so much more if you do. I've gone through ups and downs in my med regime too, but am doing well now. Transitions can be hard.
It sounds like you have a lot to look forward to with your travels and adventures. It takes more courage to hold your head tall than to try suicide. Reach out to your friends for help. Talk even if you hate the world. It's suprising how sometimes when you most need it there is someone that says something our prompts you to "remember" or realize something that you forgot.
Remember what it is that keeps you going, makes you happy and satisfied and focus on that. The more positive you have in your life the less room there is to dwell in the negative.
Best wishes to you. One more thing, my sister was very suicidal as I was growing up, me being a bit older. Let ne tell you how rough it was for me, my family, and her friends. Don't forget about those who care for you.
Peace,
Jonathan
