PLEASE DONT DO IT, IVE BEEN THROUGH IT AND ID LIKE TO TALK TO YOU

Quote From: rickw4821

This is coming from someone who is planning his death as we speak. Just throwing a phone number on the screen is your idea of helping someone? The main thing you did not cover was the fact that there is usually two or a very few things that suicidal people need to prevent their deed. One is to understand that there is an underlying or obvious depression already there and needs treatment. The other is either a one hundred foot black hole or a one hundred foot pilllow. This could refer to a job, love, etc or lack thereof. Those two are my black holes or pillows. It may be something else to someone else. I lost my job on May 16th and I have a health problem that has developed since. I already suffer from depression. So what is left? My unemployment will run out soon. My credit rating is over 800. I have isolated myself to start this process so that no one will notice.  What do I do? These so called experts never seem to have an "expert"

with them and that is someone who is sucidal.

Rick PLEASE call the phone number on your screen. That is the first step in finding more solutions to your problems. I know at this point in your life and depression a phone number seems pointless, but that phone number has helped many people just like you. What more do you have to loose? Give the phone number a try.

As someone who lives daily in financial hardship among other things and someone who has lived with depression all of my life, or as far back as I can remember.  Please take care of yourself and DO NOT

kill yourself!!!  IT IS NOT THE ANSWER, though I know right n ow it seems to be.  I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!  By the way, I have no credit rating or its as bad as it can be.  Anyway you don't need all those silly details.  You need to find the help that YOU need.  It is out there somewhere, it may just take some digging.  Please stop isolating yourself, talk to someone, anyone.........me?  I know I am a stranger and mean nothing to you but I do know some of what you are feeling and some of what you are going through........give yourself a chance to get stronger and to feel better and to see some of the good things in life...........they are out there.  I will worry about you now, why?  Because I am that kind of person, I worry and I care about people especially people who are hurting.  Well, not my x though!!

Let me know you are working on things ok?

You need to summon just a bit of your 'suicide plan' energy to first call that number on TV.  It will be a start.  Maybe read some of the stories on these message boards.  Some of them sound like they would be beneficial for you to speak to.  Just a thought.

Please understand... Life can be hard, I know. My life hasn't been a bed of roses. I know movies, TV and the news would have you believe this.

 

But I will tell you what I would LOVE to tell my oldest son, Jimmy. You see, he completed suicide January 29.2007. He hung himself in our house, my husband and I found him. He was 17, having the love of his life not wanting him anymore, quitting school, no real job prospects, etc. The list could go on. We had no clue how deep into despair he was.

 

Take a look in the mirror and tell yourself: I am important and worth while. Sit down and look at your talents, gifts and life as if they were playing cards in front of you. Don't dwell on the past, it can't be changed. Look forward at what you can change. Change is HARD, very hard. Do something, anything to help you move in a forward direction and to feel.positive about it. Positivity is very hard to come by, so just try. Worst that can happen is you fail, but you learn not to do it again. Because believe me, the right job , the right home, the right person for you is out there just waiting for you to come along.

 

No one is ever better off without you. Someone's heart will be forever broken if you were to leave.

 

Forever broken heart - Mommy
