I haven't been on here in a while but anyway I'm going to make this as short as possible. So yeah most of my life has been pretty crappy, the abusive alcoholic father tough time in school with my peers. Whatever with I've just been struggling with thoughts of suicide of and on most of my life, so the thought of suicide doesn't really scare me like I guess it should idk. It's just that my whole life things have never worked out in my favor I try and try to no avail it seems and I'm just sick of it. I pretty much know how I want to go out just not sure if I should stick around and suffer a little longer, or try to successfully do it this time. I know could share a lot more about myself and what has happened in my past, but don't really have the mental strength to do it right now. Anyways just thought I'd through that in the mix of things.

I'm sorry that things are so difficult right now. I know for me in the past when I'm deep in my depression things seem hopeless and like they can't change. For me they have though, and I'm so glad that I didn't act on my suicidal thoughts in the past. I really hope you can keep taking things one day at a time and get through this. Are you currently getting any treatment for your depression either through therapy or meds?

If you're really thinking about calling it quits, call a hospital or hotline. I've been at that point, too. So have several other members here. Stick around and keep posting. You'll find someone you can relate to and get some support. You may also want to consider profesional help.

I hope that you rethink the suicide and stick it out. You are not alone in any of your thoughts, feelings and what you have been through. I am sorry to hear that your father abused you.
Itoo am finding that not. Much is going my way right now and never really have been happy with my life. I see it as just strolling along and not much has changed. I am now working on that though. I am finally ready to start making changes, I just do know if I know what I am doing.
Thanks for sharing your brief history. If you were on here before did it help? Why did you stop. It can be so so overwhelming to try and deal with it but we put so much more energy in trying to fight it. Depression is is the blakest hole I've ever seen but we can change that we just need to keep trying and eventually we learn to control it better.

Good luck to you and if you need a shoulder to vent or let things out I am here.
