Sorry for your loss. I found this site the other day and it seems that you may be able to get something from here as well. I had a hard time fnding it but it is in my groups list if you click on my profile.

This is exactly the kind of thing VTL wants to put an end to. It's really sad when someone thinks that death is their only way out. I too feel terrible about your loss but you're right on that it does get better. People out there need to know that.

Tim, I too am sorry for your loss. It is pointlessand tragic but maybe together we can help you heal. Please check out Shane's group @:

Tim, sorry for your loss, it must of came as a shock.
Sometimes cries for help go unnoticed, and by then it's too late. I believe I sent you an invite to the VTL group, you might think of joining. Take care.

sorry for your loss too, suicide is something that is quite difficult to handle for each of us. sorry.

LOVE is what we need more of and you r doin the right thing by posting this for others to read and learn and maybe ask for help or reconsider our own situations.

www.towriteloveonherarms.com is a site to help prevent suicide. It was created to help a Mom who lost her son to suicide. I got LOVE tattoo'd in pink and red on my forearm to help with my part to help in the spread of LOVE.

HOWEVER, and this doesn't happen or pertain to everyone but me too I am a sufferer of depression and other Mental Issues and in my past i have unsuccessfully tried to finish my life. I have racing thoughts all the time of wanting to quit, and it seems no matter who I reach out to the help is all bullshit and I end up confined in a psych ward where it seems to me all they care about is their paychecks. So I sleep tons and it seems that the littlest things can send me off into deep depressions. I take my lithium to balance my mood swings, go to my group therapies, try to not drink or get hi too often, yet here I lie, all depressed and in bed all the time.

It;s not fair to my girlfriend, the dog, my family, friends, or even myself, but the alternative of getting committed and not really getting any help is not something I ever wanna participate in again.

I used to pour my heart out in my journals, but even there I was getting negative feed back, so I don't post as often. This isn't even annonymous anymore

We have to reach out to these individuals with positive ideals. We have to show them through our individual compassion that we do care .

Sorry for your loss. There's help and many other organizations.

I am very sorry for your loss. Thank you for remninding us that people do care and we can all find love even in our darkest hours. Peace be with you.

I know how easy and even welcoming the idea of suicide can be, feeling this myself almost on a daily basis. I think the fear for me, is believing that death is the end, with non-existence the result. It is this realisation, which has to-date stopped me following through with my plans of suicide. Life may be bad, but it is the only one we have, and this has to be better than nothing.

First of all, sorry for your loss. Secondly as someone who is Gay and Bipolar I freaking HATE the saying it will get better. It just rubs me the wrong way because it's honestly not true. Things never get better it's same shit different day ups and downs bumps and bruises. Unless you are one of the richest 10% of the USA then you just do the pills for fun.

Wow, RhyRhy...you ok there?

@Shane I'm sorry for that post, I wasn't in the right frame of mind when I posted it and I apologize for it.

No apologies needed RhyRhy. We've all had "those moments" Hey send me a prvt message so I can give you my email addy ok. Hope to hear from you soon...take care!

I have been aware of my gay orientation since I was 13 years old. Hidiing it has caused me great pain and sadness. I have had episodes of depressions, but i have overcome these everytime. Currently I am ok. I know what it is like and also have learned to overcome depressions. Some people will require medication.

This is serious. There are various resources: The www.TrevorProject.org, It gets Better Project, SAVE.org, The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255, and most importantly.... 911.

I have felt so bad at times that breating becomes difficult. In order to be happy we must learn to love ourselves. Then it will become easier to love others and attract love. Being sad and quiet will not attract happiness and the living.

We are here for you. If you see me online feel free to talk to me anytime. Shane has promoted me to give advice so I will at the bst of my abilities.

Peace out!

Yeah... sorrry for you loss....

As a suicidal person.... even with knowing that there are people who care... there is also the thought of them eventually getting over it, since everyone can get over a death, even if it takes them years. I have tried to take my life more than once, each failing of course, but I still think about trying everyday.

Sometimes I feel like there is no help, and when someone tries to help, I feel worse if they cannot help me feel a lot better.

Thanks for the words though.....
