Dear daily strength,

I love this website because I feel loved by people here listen and don't judge you.

They make feel less lonely . I feel cared about. My friend doesn't understand me. she thinks this website is dangerous to go on. She doesn't understand me. she doesn't spend time with me. Everyone I love doesn't spend with me. The only who spends time with me is you guys. I want you all to know I love you all because you guys comfort me when I'm gone. I'm scared to leave this website.

I still have suicidal thought's . I want to take it into action soon but I don't know how. This is the only way I cope with my problems going to this website. I vent to here to people I don't know because I feel like I don't give people I love in person burdens .

u have support on here. most of my life that thought nagged me. i tried to kill myself 3 times when i was in my 20's & 30's. but someone found me or called an alert to my family. believe me, the afterward of a suicide attempt is so worse than dealing with the sadness & other issues. im putting my faith in u to try ur hardest to find 1 little thing every day to be happy or thankful for. PM me if u need to talk to someone who's been there. xo

Thank you for sharing. You help just as much for others by being on DS. That is support, and I know we are happy to give and receive it, though I should only really speak for myself and not others, but sure that they would tell you the same. God Bless.

I totally understand what you are saying! Unless someone has been through the lows of depression, most people don't understand it at all. I have been dealing with it for decades. This site has helped me in the past. Haven't posted on here in a long time.
Do you have a therapist or someone you can talk to? I hope you find the support you need! Hugs!!
