Stephen, Please don't do it. Sometimes things do not change when we want them to. Yes, life sucks at times. I have been there. I am so grateful that I did not succeed at ending my life. It does get better, but then it gets sad again. That's the way life is. Try to find little things in your life that you are grateful for... sunshine, the pureness of white snow...a good cup of coffee...

I'm not a Polly Anna, and I'm not preaching at you. I'm just sharing my experience. I do know where my strength comes from. Isaiah 40:29-31 "God gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."

Perhaps, calling out to God might help your weary soul. A prayer is a falling tear.

I'm praying for you!

Please don't do anything to harm yourself. Call a suicide hotline 1-800-273-8255 or go to a hospital. Do you have anyone who you can talk with? Are you receiving any mental health care? If not, i suggest talking with a psychiatrist. The doctor can refer you to a therapist or a counselor who can help you to cope with what you are going through. You are an important worthy person who deserves to live.

Please keep fighting the good fight. This is a really hard time of year for a lot of us. Resist the temptation to let others tell you just how good your should be feeling.

Some days I really don't want to exist, but I know it will pass and consider living through the day a victory.

Listen, I am so glad you're reaching out. But here's the thing- things don't get better in a matter of days. Sometimes it takes weeks, months, or even years depending on your situation. I had felt exactly the way you are feeling. I'm sure you've heard this enough, but things do get better. Trust me. I'm a cancer patient and when I was first diagnosed, I wanted to die. I just wanted it to kill me, But I held on because hey, there's nothing you can lose by trying. So I stayed and got better and man, I feel like a new person. I found new hobbies like playing piano and music in general. Just by doing these things, it feels like nothing in the world matters but that. And I feel happy and calm and amazing. Please, please, please, stay. Please.

Hi- I’m so sorry that you are hurting.

Please don’t give up and don’t do anything to harm yourself. Do things that you will enjoy, anything that will distract you from hurting yourself.

Try to focus on your past blessings and try to think positively. There are many things to be thankful for, I hope in your difficulty you will still see the beauty of life. I hope you will feel better soon.

If you think you need more help, please talk to a therapist. You may want to call the Suicide lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, they are 24/7, it’s free and it provides confidential support. I hope you will find hope and do not give up. I pray for peace and comfort as you go through this.
