I am sorry for your loss. I pray you can hang in there. Hugs.

So sorry you lost a good friend. It is always devastating.
Hugs...You are valued here. You are caring and supportive.
You have realized what this is about, and I am sure will find the strength to overcome the negative thoughts.

Awww. I few years ago seriously had these thoughts. And I have 3 kids so I understand what your saying there. Our kids need us. I hope her kids are ok this is so very sad.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Gentle hugs

My condolences.

You are a strong individual with a smart mind and I'm so glad this was a unfortunate way to have a wake up call. Most importantly, I'm glad you realize that people love you and would be devastated if something happened to you. I in no way want to take away the pain and grief you are feeling for your loss. I know how hard it is as I lost my ex husband to suicide and I was hurt beyond belief. Often times when people are depressed, it feels like we are all alone and no-one loves us which is often not the case. In the end, one needs more courage to live than to harm themselves. Suicide doesn't end the chances of life getting worse, it eliminates the possibility of it ever getting any better. Hugs GB

So sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray for her family ,especially her children.. and I pray for you to stay strong and to find healing and peace.

((((( gentle hugs )))))))

I've tried suicide a few times myself.
I have family that doesn't really care. I'm just the cook and cleaner around here. I get put in the middle of arguements that I rather not be in.
I have had several types of antidepressents. Each one will work for awhile, then its time for a change.
I hate waking up to another day. I sleep a lot because.I know things will not change. Not around here.
No one wants to clean up after themselves. So..I guess its my job. Good thing my mommy dearest taught me how to clean..
The only thing that saves me is my DOG. I found him starving after some idiot dumped him. He is the only one that shows his appreciation around here. He knows when I'm sad, and never leaves my side.
He is a pit/ lab mix. And most places hate those type dogs. Even though the " Dog Whisperer" said his favorite personal dog was that. They get a bad rap because.of the idiots that chain them up and beat them. My dog gets spooked by a bug. Poor thing.
So, I cannot leave him. Maybe God sent him to me to keep me alive?
Guess its working. If I died, no one would love him like I do. Or take care of him the way I do. He loves his mommas cooking. ;)
I am the type person who would never hurt another soul. Only mine.
Ever see that movie with Denzel Washington, where he is a little.girls protector in mexico? The one where they say..the bullet never lies? That has happened to me. Got a dimple in the primer. off But it never went off. Dam primer... and there were a few other times...with other things. Like a needle. You know, like they say in the movies, you shoot air into your vein and you die? Lol.. that didn't work either. The area just puffed up like a donut..air in there. Kinda funny looking too.
But....I haven't tried anything in awhile. It probably wouldn't work anyways.
But now I have my dog. I don't have to go to hell. Because.I pretty much LIVE in hell.
I tell them that. But they don't care.
That's why I want to start my own business. So I can earn money to get out of this place!
But...I don't have enough faith that I can earn anything. My dad said id be a starving artist. Thanks dad.
You can look at my photos. There is some of my art. And my loving.dog I have now.
I don't have a bank account even after the last 7 years. He took me off it. Hes a control freak. And I have no place to go. Women shelters here only.let.you stay 30 days. And they don't allow.my.dog.
SOOOOOooo... I just.stay here and clean everyday.
I have no private time or any money to buy myself a cheap something...anything.
The.pressure is so great..but I try to deal with it the best I can.
Sleeping.is one of my hobbies now. LOL. Funny eh?
Ok, enough of my rant.
Just saying, sometimes suicide don't work. Weird....

I am so sorry. Sad reminder that depression is serious, that we are going through or have gone through is serioius, that we get help, care for ourselves, and care for each other.

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one to suicide is a uniquely heartbreaking (confusing, asking what-ifs, etc.). I applaud you for reaching out to this community and talking about your own
struggle. I have lost 2 brothers to suicide and have struggled with my own depression and suicidal thoughts. I understand how overwhelming both can be. I will be praying for you and your friend's family. Feel free to reach out to me at any point for support or advice.

Oh my gosh!

Yes, this was a sign for you and your daughter!
Stay strong.....something good will come...and it can't come if you are not here to receive it.

My thoughts are with you.

My condolences to you. I sure know what your talking about depression is no joke! I pray everyday god gives me the strength to endure. I have my bad days also. Yesterday I felt so horrible that those thoughts crossed my mind but I try my best to remember my loved ones and friends would be so hurt to not have me here. I try take one day at a time. Depression is a liar.

I don't have any loved ones....
