Have you ever felt that nomatter what you did to make the pain of a lost one to go away, you end up loosing another one or you're reminded about it? I feel that way almost every day. I miss them all so much. I wish that is was me instead of them cause when I think about the close ones that I lost, It was my fault. Especially loosing my best friend Dream. No matter how many times I'm told that it's not my fault, I still can't help it. I don't blame mysefl that much anymore cause I already know the truth and I don't want others to tell me other things. I wish they can could come back. I wish I could see them again. But now all I want to do is sleep. A never ending sleep with no dreams...

I feel like that alot. And wanting to sleep all the time is part of the depression. I don't the pain ever gets easier or goes away, we just learn how to cope better with it. I'm having a hard time right now too. This time of year just sucks cause I catch myself thinking of the things I would do with the people who are gone or that I need to call them for something or see something that they would like. Blaming yourself is normal too, especially with suicide. Go easy on yourself and be nice and gentle with you. Do something just for you that you haven't done in a long time or that you've wanted to do but just put off. And then find somebody to help. That usually works for me. Hang in there. Big hugs.

I feel exactly the same. I used to have nightmares of the friend that commited suicide but for some reason, I spoke to my dad about how I was feeling and when he died the following month it was as if he had took my apology to my friend with him because the nightmares lifted. But to this day I still think about them and tears come. I can't listen to certain songs because they were played at the funeral or talk about certain things. I too wish I could sometimes sleep forever but its the good times you have to remember and that they wouldnt want us to cry over them, they'd want us to carry on with our lives. Try keep your head up x

prettyxlittlex... hit the nail on the head. I know my honey would be furious to know how often I visit his grave. He would holler, "Go find a new MAN, what are you doing talking to a dead guy! You should go be HAPPY!" I can practically hear him saying it. Depression can pass, but sometimes help is required, whether conversation or medication. Don't resist help.

Oh do I know how you feel..It has been six months since my allie killed herself and it isn't one bit easier..I have tried every trick in the book to get past this and on with life, but nothing works..I love all Allie's friends, and they call or come to see me and I love it, but then I cry. The loss of Allie returns..and of course the big WHY..then being the realist I am, I know the Why doesn't matter and the only choice we have is to go on with life as best we can. I believe in God and I know He will show us the way. I just wish it didn't hurt so much..I don't believe sleep is the answer for us..It has to be "get on with life". I wish peace to all of us.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
