Hi friend. I understand how it all can be so overwhelming and it feels like everything is spiraling out of control. I just want to take the time to say that you are stronger than you know. I know it doesn't feel like it but the fact that you posted something proves you still want to be here and you are still trying. That is something to be proud of and to hold on to. Take things moment to moment as they come. Remember to be kind to yourself. You will get through this, I believe in you.

If you have not heard it yet this quote I think is rather powerful "Suicide doesn't end the chances of life getting worse. It only eliminates the possibility of it getting any better."

I truly know how you feel. Each day I fight off the demons in my head that tell me I'm a failed human being, that nobody loves me and nobody ever will. That I'm defective in all areas of my life. The fear of what's to become of a 71 year old single woman, with minimal resources has amped of my anxiety to the max. The future looks empty and sad. I have visions of eventually ending up being in a state run nursing home. Alone and afraid. BUT...I am making an effort to bombard myself with positive thoughts and actions. Meditating, yoga, listening to music that I love, even watching funny videos helps. I DO NOT WANT TO DO ANY OF THESE THINGS! I would rather sleep the day away. But as long as I'm still here, feeling better, getting out of the daily negative insanity in my head is paramount. It has to happen. So I force myself to take action. I'm not at all consistent. However, distracting myself by doing these things helps get me out of my dark little head. Good luck! Hang tough! p.s. Another quote, "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."

Hello,I am so sorry that you are struggling through life right now. Do not do it. Even though, it seems like it is hopeless right now. Let me tell you there is hope. There is peace, love, and joy. I remember my teenage years, were so miserable, I thought frequently that I was living in hell. I could not figure out how to get out of my problem. Then, when I turned seventeen a friend from my church encouraged me to start talking to God. I cried and screamed at Him and told Him about all of my struggles. About all of my anger, fears, and loneliness... I told God that I needed His help, I cannot do this alone. So, I recommitted my life back to Him. I started reading the bible again. I read in Psalms and Proverbs to know that I was not alone and was encouraged by Proverbs wisdom. Then I also read in the book of John to learn about the love of Jesus and how He could help me. I started experiencing a new kind of life. The loneliness started going away. I started noticing that the panic/anxiety was turning into peace. I started praying to God daily and reading in His word daily as well. I am suggesting that you will call out to God and ask Him to come into your life to help you. - I will give you a short prayer of Salvation if you would like to pray. " Heavenly Father, I am struggling, I am hurting. I do not know what to do. I need you, Jesus! Forgive me Father of all of my sins. Cleanse me. God, I believe that you are God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I am coming before you Jesus and asking you to come in and live inside of me. Be my God and Father. I need to know your love and peace. Thank you Jesus for your love for me!

In Jesus Name, Amen"

Why are you so sad? Is it a tragedy? Is there a reason for your sorrow? Counsel is very important and support groups. Many churches have support groups and counsel for free. Breathe deep thru your sorrows, turn on something light hearted to go to sleep on timer and put it on again as you wake to stop this habit. Take a good multi vitamin to help your mind and body recover. Esp. magnesium and also ginseng. they help a lot with stress and depression/anxiety. <3 Get out in sun, it helps a lot too. Call friends, if they aren't good friends, get new ones. <3 You are a treasure, to be loved and valued, work on you for you. <3

Hi, I know how you feel. I have been in a place like that and I understand how difficult it can be.

Don’t tell yourself you can’t cope. You CAN! You just need to find the right healthy skills to be able to.

Do you want to get better? Do you want to put in the work to be happy?

I just want you to know and really read this over to yourself.... You know how everything in life is TEMPORARY? Those emotions and feelings you are having right now are temporary. Don’t make a permanent decision to a TEMPORARY feeling.

You have our support and love 💕

Please just know that everything will be okay soon.
