I've been looking for distractions for my suicidal thoughts and came across this video. I was feeling very sad and it's a sweet video. I cried so hard I almost threw up watching it. Thought I'd share. (SGN with John Krasinski)

Can you see the message in the video? There will be always a tomorrow. The sun will always shine after rain. You have your family to love you and friends to support you. Open your heart to hear your loved ones, and don't think negative thoughts. The future is shining for you, as long as you cherish hope and keep the faith. Don't surrender to depression and to negativity. KEEP ON LIVING. Even if you falter and fail, put that down to experience and to lessons for the future. We are all here for you, to support you so don't ruminate on the past.

Thanks for the link. I just saw it. That was a sweet wedding

Sorry that you were feeling sad. Did you feel better after watching it?

Yeah, definitely felt better. I've been trying to avoid suicide since I was like 7 but this whole pandemic thing is new so I'm feeling pretty off. I have faith that tomorrow will be better. I hope you guys are having a peaceful night

When you are feeling much better, please visit your family doctor for treatment of your depression. There are anti-depressive tablets that the doctor can prescribe to treat your depression. Sometimes, a chemical imbalance in your brain may cause you to feel this way. There are always solutions to all problems, so don't give up on yourself.

Experiencing suicidal thoughts when you were 7 must have been awful. And this pandemic isn't make things any better that's for sure. It's good that you have faith though. I'm having a peaceful night. I hope you and everyone else has one, too.

And Andromeda8 is right about visiting your family doctor and for looking for help with depression. There are treatments depressions out there.

I agree. I've started getting help last week. I was able to sleep through the night which has become rare for me. I hope to continue recovering this summer. I graduate on Saturday so I'll have a bit less to deal with
