I have read that when a person begins to think of friends and families as not needing them--as being able to do alright without them, that is a very serious sign and needs immediate attention.

I cannot say for sure what my boyfriend was thinking when he took his own life. I hope he had no idea of how he would lay waste to the lives of those around him. None of us will ever be the same; we'll never be the people we were before and life will never be as happy again.

I have felt a lot of anger at him at times for what he did to my life. This terrible, terrible loss was brought upon me, my life wrecked and I had absolutely no say whatsoever. His children are very young and must life the rest of their lives dealing with the pain of their father abandoning them. It is almost as if he placed his pain on all of us when he left.

What I am trying to say is that no matter how well you think your family will cope if you end your life, you are wrong. Depression warps the thinking, making it seem reasonable to commit suicide. It is not. I cannot tell you what to do, only to say that you have no assurance death will bring peace. You just think it will. What you would be doing to family and friends is a terrible thing they will never get over.

People ca n replace a pet, a broken item in thier house but we can't replace the love for someone else. If I could have my brother back, stop my mom from crying again , let my sister to be able to rell him, she's sorry for a stupid fight I would take my own life just for those things. When somebody dies that we love we ask why them. We knew them to be good people, why not a bad person. We asked ourselfs why they did't come to me with thier problems. Did they not care about what this would do to me? When someone we love passes , by naturall causes we have questions. When someone passes by thier own free will we have the same questions pluss 1,000 more.. Please don't make yhe people you love live with yhe questions you can only answer. AND you take all the answers with you. My heart and my mind is so damned by all that has happened. I can't change it and yes I want to die but I won't leave my loved ones with questions and not a good reson why. It is a perment solution to temperary problems.
My broyher shot himself twice in the head but was syill alive when I broke in the door after I heard the shots . We did everything together all our lives. He was born 6 4 59 I was born 6 5 60 I HATE MY BIRTHDAY. Please for God 'S sake... whackydoodle@yahoo.com

I 'm Sorry about my spelling . I couldn't see though the tears.

I am so sorry to hear your story. I bet it is good to get it out though. How long ago did it happen, how long have you been suffering with this? I am sure that you are very strong since you have not taken your own life. I know that I have would not be as strong under the same circumstances.

He died the 10/10/2008 not tet two years ago. All that loved him are still in shock. I can see somebody move like he did, or look like him and it breaks my heart. Childrens songs we sang as kids or a song on the radio we liked has me in tears. Iget angry with him for all the pain he caused and at times I,m angry with God for letting it happen. I've always been very picky about the way I look and my home but some times I just don,t care. I have cryed an entire day and thier are times (like girls week-end ) that I don't go to. I was the hostess but I would just spoil the fun. I fall very short on being strong but I'm working on it.

I've been there and tried to do that. I understand how you are feeling. I felt worthless, no one really cared and so sick and tired of living on this earth with all that is wrong with it and all the sick people out there trying to get into your mind - sometimes your mind just can't take it anymore and you say no more. Somehow I was found (I took many many many pills) and forced to live. I was so mad at everyone who didn't let me go through with it - Stop trying to save me I thought. This counseling is bull shit. I'm all doped up on calm me down drugs that I couldn;t even function. I get it what you are feeling but what I have to say to you is you don't need to live for someone else you need to live for yourself . . . . all you have to do is get through today, then get through tomorrow and then someday you won't be just getting through it you will be enjoying alot of it.

Can't say that the thought doesn't pop in my head when times are hard but I have to say that life is worth living even if it is so hard that you feel you can't go on . . . Get through today . . . . then tomorrow . . . then to a place where you can be happy, and maybe that means finding the right doctor and the right medicine that truly helps you. It took me 5 doctors and ALTO of different medicines but I feel somewhat normal now and I also found out that I was not bi-polar I had PTSD from all the shit people put me through that was very empowering to hear. Hang on if you let it help is on the way if you let it and pursue it . . . call your doctor or a new doctor or go to your local emergency room and get the help you need to get through this. There is hope you just need to pursue it.
