Hi All,
just signed up today, i have been battling clinical depression and suicidal thoughts for 3 years now. Lately it seems to be worse. Just needed an outlet to talk as i don't really have that. Its really hard to get through each day but somehow so far i do. I think of my kids and it keeps me going as much as i just want to give up and die.
