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.
My psychologist and psychiatrist are both prretty aware that I wan't to die... And in an attempt to "get rid of my negative thoughts" my psychologist asked me during the last appointment: "Why wanting to die if we don't know what lies ahead?"
Here is my honest answer:
So, assuming death is not just "absolute nothingness" (which is why I have chosen to believe), and there is actually a so called "heaven" and "hell", well... let's face it, I'm very likely going to hell anyways... Then, the only question left to be answered is: Would I rather endure hell here on Earth or deal with the one in the "afterlife"?
Same thing, it would just be different demons the ones haunting me this time, and external one, not the ones currently living inside me as they, just like me, would be long gone...
So yeah... different hell and different demons, nut hell is still hell no matter the shape and color. You are right, maybe I don't know what happens after we leave this world; but the only thing I know for certain is that I have tried it here, tasted it for so long and I didn't like it. So maybe it's time to try something new. I don't really care what that is anymore.
And if the end is in fact the end? Well, finally the escape and freedom I've been looking and waiting for.
If you are suicidal... what are your whoughts on this?
Ps. Please avoid the preaching, I'm not religious. If you are, that's fine, but don't try to talk me into faith and God's mercy.

I'm still waiting for the OP to explain exactly what the torment is. describe the pain. Identify it.
I have struggled with suicidal thought in my life but always had this tenacious will to live that kept me going and achieving and now I am determined to live as long as I can.
My beloved wife passed away from suicide three years ago this month. Suicide devastates everyone who loves you. They always wonder if it was their fault.
I'm not sure how this thread got highjacked by religion, but I'lll throw in my 2 cents because why not. My religion is Wicca. I'm a witch. Every morning I pray to Dionysus, Persephone, Aphrodite, Adonis, Salome, Mephistopheles, Jesus Christ and Mary Magdelene. I like to cover my bases and pray to everyone.
I have intelligence from my wife's ghost who I talk to often that suicide lands you in Purgatory which is not awful but not great either so consider that. I don't know if I believe in hell but I have definitely encountered some Christians who believe I am going there because of my witchcraft. Probably about to encounter some more so oh well.
I believe in religious tolerance, I live in a large, diverse city and am used to pretty much everyone I know having different religious beliefs, whether Atheist, Jewish, Catholic, Muslim or Wicca. i have learned to accept, live and let live, and have respect for other people's cultures.
For the people that are Christians, and I know many here are, I think that's great if it helps you. I know my spirituality gives me much solace, especially with my widowhood and multiple illnesses.
I think we will never know what's in the afterlife until oru time is up and we get there. I'm looking forwards to having some mysteries revealed to me when I'm finally ready to check out. Hopefully my wife will be waiting for me on the other side.
