I have lost everything that I worked for. I have no family no one to consider a friend. My car died, I lost my job months ago and will soon be losing my place of residence. I have given so much to just have 2 person show me love. I've had years of abuse of all forms. I tried to kill myself a few days ago and wasn't successful. I can't go on anymore

Please don't, either of you. I don't know you but I care about you. I don't want you to be lost.

I feel you StatuesqueJ, I have been feeling also that no one would miss me and that I dont make anyone happy. I have a 20 year old son and I think that it would not be good if I harmed myself because I wouldnt want to leave him an orphan (his dad passed away in 1998). Sometimes this is the only thing that holds me back. I really also would like to have a few good close friends that I can really trust and I dont feel I have that and I feel that this would help me so much. I have noticed though that recently fears have been plaguing me and have interfered with making/keeping friends. I was severely and endlessly bullied when i was younger. Did you experience bullying too or something traumatic in your childhood or after?

I am sry that you are having a tough go at this thing we call life. The depressions and anxiety can really take a toll on us. I have to always tell my self i am not my feelings, nor am i my thoughts. I hope you find hope and have faith that things will change for the better. I will keep you i my prayers...

I wish you peace. I will pray for you. Please give yourself a chance. Please do not hurt yourself. You have people that love and care about you, even if you think you dont.

You know, there are people who can help you, can help you stop the pain and start over again. Have you tried calling a Crisis Hotline in your area? Here is one in New York, 24 Hour Crisis Hotline: 716-834-3131.
This may not be where you live, but I am sure they can give you the telephone number of a Crisis Hotline in your area. Also, did you know that you can check yourself into a hospital by telling them you are thinking of ending killing yourself?

You can survive. You CAN have a much better life. Just give them a call and give yourself a chance to have a better life. I will be praying for you.
