Sleep---each night as I lie down, I pray.I pray for all of my friends, but mostly, I pray to NEVER awaken again. See.in sleep.there are NO problems, no depression, no lack of self- esteem, no panic or anxiety attacks, no bills, no worries, no stuff breaking, there is nothingbut true peace!!!! With all I have gone thru, and still experience, life has NEVER impressed me in the least, in fact, it is depressing. We all die in the end, so living is only prolonging the inevitable. I will not ever figure out all the hoopla about life? So yeah, yeehaw! Let me live tomorrow, so I can battle depression another dayor, let me live until next month, so all the bills will be due again.then we start all over again, one endless circle.I truly do welcome death with open arms, the only thing I desire is to not suffer, for I have suffered a lifetime already! AT the least, my final moments before eternal peace, I hope will be pleasant.

Oh my dear friend I am so sorry that you are going through this and it seems that it is and endless circle for you. You are loved and GOD is with you. I realize that you feel that you have suffered enough and you have done a lot of suffering. I just wish I could take it all away from you and give you the gift of Happiness and health. I do not like seeing you feeling this way. I do not want to see you gone or dead at all. I shall pray that God does hear your prayers and he shall guide you to a better life and out of the dark hole you are in. I will be there to help you to please let me throw you a rope and grab it I shall pull you up to the light again. Hugs and Love to you sweet friend. xoxoxo Lovingsoul

When I read your post it reminded me of something I could have written on more than one occasion. But guess what? Each time I felt like that I hung in there and then eventually something great happened in my life and I would always think to myself., "Now what if I had gone ahead and did what I was planning? I would have missed out on ____________ (whatever happened that was a wonderful good thing). I would feel so grateful and thank God for stopping me. Please take this to heart. I know you are suffering right now but I know you too will experience something good and wonderful and you too will know what I am saying.

I could have written your post. Nothing good has ever happened in my life and I just keep hanging on cuz I'm too scared to kill myself. I really wish I had the guts to tho. I just keep on praying every night that god will care enough about me to take me home, out of this hell called earth. I feel for you and hope something good happens to you.

Everyone has hardships but did you know it's human nature to focus on the negative things over the positive. You can have 10 positive things happen in a day but 1 negative can send it all crashing down. Write a journal write about your day and try to find something good about it. I'm sure that you can find at least 2 positive things. I know that I feel this way at times but I don't want it to consume me and I don't want it to consume you either friend.
We are battling our depression, we have to fight, we have to get up when we are knocked down.
Remember we need to be here to help others climb out of that pit of depression. Here's my hand, I can only reach out, you have to grab on and pull yourself out.
I don't know if this was just a rant, but I know that I fight every day for my peace of mind and you do too.

In no way did I mean for my comment to be offensive. I hope you can find some good out of it.

I can understand. I knew things were bad for me when I started buying food to last me just the day. It was tough. i spent everything in my bank account and had suicide letters all ready and stacked up and ready for people to take. I know that feeling of going to bed and waking the next morning pissed you didn't go to sleep. Its hard. But trust me things get better. Little by little but they do.

Somebody loves you out there. Hey i love you for being brave and sharing your story. I know you might not believe that but its true. It takes courage to put your thoughts down.

The truth is you deserve better even if you don't believe it you do.

I lived most of my life with that same thoughts as you until the last few months when my doc upped my Prozac to 40mg. Maybe it was the Prozac...maybe God figured I suffered enough after 43 years fighting Hell on a daily basis. I don't know. I DO know that my grandfather told me you have to live your Hell on Earth in-order to get to Heaven! That always made sense to me :)

I think life sucks because we think too much! Just remember my brother....sometimes you just have to say WTF!

God bless you my friend! I know you don't want to wake up tomorrow but I personally hope you do as the this world needs good people like you!

I agree with you about sleep. Sleep IS death of a sort, to our consciousness, aches and pains, and to the cares of this material world. It is when our body's functions are on autopilot, and our minds and souls fold into, become one with, the Creator, or the big nothingness...and we can dream...create...fly...be anything...do anything...and feel totally fulfilled...loved...at peace.
