I think it's very interesting that people die everyday that don't want to die. My dad wasn't ready to die but he died of a natural death (heart attack). I also think it's funny that God doesn't take people out of this world that WANT to die. I was the "oops" baby and I wish I wouldn't have been. I want to die, but unfortunately no matter how much I ask God, he won't take me. I can't kill myself because I don't want to put my family through that, we've been through that once and I don't think they could do it twice. I have no insurance and no job so I can't even go get a counselor or medication. Wow depression sucks and so does life.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I take the supplement SAM-e...available in the U.S. as a dietary supplement, but is actually a prescription anti-depressant in Europe...If you take it, you MUST take a B-100 complex with it...Without B-complex, there is a potential risk of stroke or heart attack...With the B-complex the problem doesn't exist...
I would also recommend taking a magnesium/calcium supplement, and an omega-3 supplement...These support our stress response systems...I can't tell you the difference that they have made in my world...Start with a 200 mg SAM-e a day...That is all I take and it works fine...There are few to no side effects with this, and it has proven to be as effective or more effective than prescription anti-depressants in european trials....Give it a try...
I am so glad that you won't choose to kill yourself. You're right - your family would be shattered.
It will be a combination of things that will help you feel better, like balanced diet/vitamins, proper amount of fluids/hydration, interacting with people and things that make you feel good. Prayer - sit and be still and listen as well as talking.
Think about the things in your life you want to reinvent. Start a new chapter.
Try your best to not let your feelings make all your decisions. Try to do what you know is right even if you don't feel like it.
Breathe. Take good care of yourself. I'll talk to you.
Remember that God knows better than us, and sometimes we have to have peace with what happens. Other times bad people make bad things happen, and then we have to let God take it and turn it into some kind of good. It's hard to reason it all out, but if you pray you can get answers.
Be well!
