Sweetie Always 86 Please hang in there. I too not want to be alive sometimes we all need to be alive..we probably all have somebody counting on us. You matter I matter the people counting us matter. Just one day at a time even if it's your favorite miracle or blessing or favorite music or anything that makes you smile or laugh.

Life is hard. We are all here for each other as much as we are able.

DEAR ALWAYS 86,HI THIS IS Allstar Again Sorry that your a single destitute parent with no help. Im back again trying to support you. I too struggle with depression mine is major depressive disorder. Just let me know you are doing ok even if you respond saying your breathing. Sometimes when life takes a turn for the worst it can lead to a silver lining. Like it can turn out to be good. One time when I was in the hospital sucidial I discovered I can draw and its a blessing of i didnt go I don't know if i would have discovered it can do it. My biggest ♥️ blessing today is i didn't get fired or written up at my job! I work at a slaughter house with cows and have worked there for 2 and a half years. But hope you will be ok and when you respond tell me one thing you like or grateful for today.
