Never been this bad before

I am feeling so low right now. I have been having thoughts of killing myself all weekend and I just can't get out of this dip. I am hating myself for this because I have everything I need to be happy but I just can't. 


I used to have friends I could talk to about these things but they are gone now. One of my good friends passed away last month and I don't even know how. 


I keep thinking what is the worth of my life and I can't seem to find an answer for myself. I can't even tell anyone how I am feeling which makes it worse. Do I need to actually try to get someone to help. I'm such a coward. I feel so alone...

I did grieve for him, I cried and tried to find out. They lived in another country, and it's just easier to let it be. The fact that I hadn't seen them in 5 years, barely talked anymore. Just adds to the hole I'm falling down.
Something is missing, and it's me. I am so consumed by this dark cloud I can't even enjoy the wonderful things I have in my life.

Grief and loneliness are two of hardest situations to go through, I am fortunate enough to have 3 children at home. If you have no one around maybe a counselor and forcing yourself to join a social group of some kind, whether a church or just a group that gets together and does something, that way you can begin to develop new friendships.

I know the feeling of being unable to tell those around you how you feel. However, you're helping yourself get better by seeking out support on this site, which is extremely good. If you ever need to talk, there are so many people who can help you and listen.

You are not a coward. These things take courage to get through. You have made it this far, which means you are braver than you know. You can get through this! ☺

I know how this feels. I am going through suicidal thoughts and feelings myself right now. I try to find hope in my faith in Jesus but right now I'm struggling to see the bright side of things because of depression, too, to be honest. I know it seems hopeless, and it's so, so hard. It messes with your interpretation of reality and puts everything under a shadow. And it's okay to admit that it isn't easy! Sometimes we need to, in fact. You can do this, though. Yeah, sometimes it feels impossible. But you've made it to this point, haven't you? I'm here if you ever need to talk; I'd be glad to listen. I know sometimes you just need to vent.

I am so proud that you came on here and reached out for help. You can not be responsible for your thoughts but only for your actions!

I find myself also in negative thoughts on how life would be just that much easier if I choose "that" path but it is not the fair path. Those paths can be categorized as selfish, easier, or self destructive.

Keep your head and move forward!
