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.

the depression has gotten to the point that it's taking everything in me not to allow the suicidal throughts to take over and consume me to the point that I'm going to actually end my life.

Please don't do anything to harm yourself, Your friends and family would be devastated. If you are not seeing a doctor, I would recommend making an appointment with a psychiatrist, who can properly diagnose you. They may recommend medication and/or talk therapy. I have struggled with depression and anxiety since I was a child, but didn't get professional help until much later in my life. I presently see a psychiatrist and take medication. Please get help as soon as possible. If you feel suicidal, contact a suicide hotline for help. I wish you the best.

You will be ok. It's hard but this can pass. Are you on any medication? Are you having anxiety? PM me if you need to talk. I get it!

Suicide is never the answer. That's what my oldest son did last September. 44 years old. I grieve everyday. "Speak quietly to yourself and promise there will be better days. Whisper gently to yourself and provide assurance that you really are extending your best effort. Console your bruised and tender spirit with reminders of many other successes. Offer comfort in practical and tangible was- as if you were encouraging your dearest friend. Recognize that on certain days the greatest grace is that the day is over and you get to close your eyes. Tomorrow comes more brightly." -Mary Anne Radmacher Wait

It is the answer though.

No. Someone in your life cares about you. All suicide does is pass the pain over to them. You know how bad it can feel, so please, don't pass on the pain. It may seem like the only option but think of everyone that will be affected. I care about you. I don't want to see you (Or anyone) have to go through the thought of wanting to die. Life may not be the best but it is all we have. Your life is precious. Take care
