I really need someone to lean on.

Hello fam.

It's been a tough time for me and I don't know if doing this will turn around things. Anyway I don't want to give up this life before exhausting every avenue.

I have been depressed for quite sometimes due to quite a number of things, from dropping out of college, unsupportive parents and it seems everybody turned their back on me. My life is ****** up.

I've thought of ways of salvaging my situations and I've been thinking of doing some freelancing jobs to atleast help me with finances and keep me a little busy. However, I have no one to support me in this journey of hope and self realization. I'd love to turn my life around.

Please I'm asking for you to pray for me to overcome my suicidal thoughts. I don't know what to do anymore.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm here if you need a friend or to vent. It's tough but it gets better.

I'm glad that you are here. It's been so lonely for me and it's like it's getting dark.

Hi NairobiKE, coming on this forum shows me you don't really want to give up and that's what living is all about. Life doesn't always go smoothly. We can run into some pretty bigroad blocks at times. The solution is not to go back and continue getting lost But to go forward. Taking a different path may get you to a place you never thought would happen had you not come upon this road block.

We all have qualities knowledge that others may not have. Doing freelance right now might

lead you to something more permanent. You are still young, the world is at your feet but only if you don't give up.

We will support you and help you turn your life around but we need your help in doing that.

We don't claim to have any magical ways in doing this except to cheer you on and making you

know you don't need other's approval. Do what feels best for you. What you like doing.

Success is all about having failure and picking ourselves up and proving to ourselves we can

and will succeed. :) xx

There is ALWAYS a solution to every problem even though we cannot see it from our low perspective. Give it to God and watch Him work. He has an infinite supply of resources and ideas. Many years ago I wanted to go to college to become a nurse but my parents discouraged me by saying that I was too stupid to become a nurse and our family had no money. Well God did the impossible and by an unusual series of events my full tuition was paid for and I did get accepted into a nursing program. I have been an RN for many years now.😃 Never give up! Life is a gift and you have many good experiences just around the corner . You have to fight for yourself though, God will help you!🙏💗🙂P.S. Suicide is not an "escape hatch" from the pain. You just awake on the other side with the same frame of mind in the same pain.😵😳

I just prayed for you, that you find the strength to turn it around. Read my profile. If I can do it you can too. If you get a bad thought, pretend a little duck hunter is on your head. Blasting the bad thought away before it lands. I have watched hundreds of near death experience videos. And the people who survived doing themselves in, regretting the choice 1-2 seconds after they did it . Plus god just sends you back because your work is not done yet. Please try 45 minutes of daily cardio exercise to produce endorphins that battle your anxiety and depression. And think positive thoughts!

Remember we have all felt like giving up. The pain can be excruciating at times. It usually just takes time. It’s the waiting for that empty defeated feeling to ease up.It will. Maybe not tomorrow but it will go

away and you will feel hope again.

Just keep asking for help on this forum.

We are here for you.
