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.
I wish I had the guts to kill myself. I am too scared of failing and having to deal with the hospitalization/guilty/worry that would follow a failed attempt. If I had a gun I would just shoot myself and get it over with. I don't know any other sure ways. I think about suicide constantly. Nothing will get rid of these thoughts and the depression. I can't live like this anymore. I hurt so deeply and feel so alone. I just want to be able to say goodbye.
Also my 20 year old daughter stops my thoughts. So I understand exactly how you are thinking. Any family?
I've heard people say that suicide is a permanent answer to a temporary problem. The thing is, when you are art that point, it doesn't feel temporary.
All i can say is hang on. And I am glad that you don't have the guts. Life is worth sticking around for. It really will get better.
unfortunately, my daughter's friend (19) committed suicide Dec. 2007, and i saw firsthand the devastation the family went through, as well as the pain my daughter went through; his mother found him, bless her heart! please talk to one of us, okay? pepperman has a good point, too; wishing u well, hon
