Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I found out today that an old friend committed suicide. She was an amazing veterinarian, and mother of 3 girls. They are devastated. I have been struggling big time with suicidal thoughts and this was a big wake up call. I pray that all of you who are suffering and don't know how to improve anything, as I don't, I pray you find the strength to continue anyway. For the people who love you, you make a much bigger impact than you will ever realize. You are loved, even if you don't feel it. Asking for strength to overcome my own suicidal thoughts so I may never hurt my daughter so deeply. I hope more than anything I can continue through this hell I call depression and someday find relief. Wishing the same for you. Hold on.
I know I am new around here, but I really don't appreciate how desertrose007 went into details about their suicide attempts. That is a huge trigger for some and you can really set someone off talking about those kinds of details.
@ecksoh......
you started a anyone attempt suicide thread. So don't preach to me about your " trigger" remarks. And yes I said this nicely.
FYI....my post was to let people know....even if you try it, it may not work. It may mess you up a whole lot more.
I used to work in a nursing home. There was a guy who was young. He had tried that and wound up in there. He couldn't speak, stayed curled up in a ball and I don't know if he could even acknowledge if a person was there even. But he was alive still..sorta.
That is what scares me the most. Winding up that way.
