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.
Number 1- Suicide offers no concrete solution to my suffering.
Number 2- I have 2 kids I am responsible for and it will haunt them until the day they die. In my opinion, that is terribly irresponsible for me to do.
Number 3- I saw the movie "What Dreams May Come" and I am convinced if I am born into this world and have misery then I must cope through it and give back to others what I have learned from it for it is my debt to the world and to the creator of this world.
Number 4- What I imagine the hospital to be is not going to be what it the reality of it is. I am not capable of seeing what the hospital is like without being there, so rather than expecting them to be awful, I would think the opposite because logically they know how vulnerable I am. For example; If I had to go for chemo treatment for skin cancer- it is unlikely there will be a tanning bed in the waiting room.
They will not hurt you - they will LOVE you and help you to repair what is broken. I regret if I have overdramatized the example I gave, but I just think it is important for us to keep it real.
What kind of lesson would go to your daughters you think if you hospitalized yourself so that you did not kill yourself? Perhaps the most important lesson they have ever learned I might suggest.
You have incredible courage. Thank you for being here today.
Thank you.
I am suffering badly, just like you are, trust me, but different circumstances. I wish I wasn't born, but I was! Now, I have to deal with the pain and suffering. I just can't imagine putting my family in grief and sorrow if I was to end my life......including my best friends (my pets).
I know how you feel, I really do!! I cry everyday!! I CARE about you and everyone here on this site.
WE ARE ALL HERE FOR YOU!
HUGS!!!!!! ~Nay
