I need some help from my DS family. Im slipping again, please help. I have all these plans in my head on how to end this and I jsut cant go through with it. But when i think of where my life is going, I am loosing people in my life and I dont know why. maybe its my fault becasue of the depression, I dont know. But I need some changes. I am thinking of leaving my house as soon as I get a job and maybe just get a little apartment. Instead of keeping the house.

Hi tryanne,

Are You Okay? Please don't follow through
with any plans to "end this". That is NOT what you want to do.
Please remember how wonderful you are. Life can be so hard
sometimes. We have to persevere. I know you can do it.
I think the changes you are considering will be so good for you.
PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE don't EVER-EVER Hurt yourself........

Much, Caring and Healing to You

My heart goes out to you as you struggle. I fell into a pit yesterday myself (see my journal) and I know so well how hard it is when the pit is deep and we are unable to climb out. Just know that as long as you don't kill yourself love will lift you up into a beautiful place. You are a sweet person and I haven't forgotten all the love you have shown me. Give it to yourself as well. You are not forgotten and you are not alone. I will respond to you anytime your hug or message me and I want you to know that I am here for you and I am your friend. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!

Hi Trayanne-I am new to the group but wanted to offer my support. I am struggling with needing to make some changes in my life. I find that when I get depressed I forgot that I do have choices and can make changes. Everything in my depressed state of mind feels like I have no options. So I wanted to encourage your process of thinking of what changes you can make and how which will help you create a less stressful life. That is what I am working on as well. Not easy but would like to continue to hear how you are doing it.

I try very hard everyday. It is a terrible feeling not to want to live anymore, but I try to remember my niece would be devasted if i hurt myself. Thats the only person who keeps me going

On really bad days, like you are having, one reason to keep going (such as what you mean to your niece) is all you need. I hope you can make your goal just getting through the day and be gentle and good to yourself in the process. Although we just met, I'm very glad to know you and sending good thoughts your way.
