I know that it can talk a while for people to respond to me as this a thread but I don't to many people in the chat rooms and I really could use someone I trust right about now. I am feeling down and I have suicide on my mind. Thing have been stressful around here at my parents house. I don't know what to do anymore I am like at the end of my rope here. Just need someone to talk to is all, but like I said I don't know to many people in the chat rooms that I trust.

Hi sjr. Just now read your post! What are you feeling down about? What is causing you stress with your parents? There's a lot of questions! You can also PM me anytime.

sjr, you spoke with me earlier in a pm..you are always welcome to message me..:) I have suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts for most of my entire life..I truly know how you feel right now. You have to keep your faith strong, and believe that everything will be ok. Living with parents is NEVER easy. :( I will add you as a friend, as you requested. :)

thanks but I am still feeling down and having these thoughts. It's so wired as the thoughts usually as the thoughts go away after a few hours but its been three days now and I still have the thoughts. Guess I just need someone to talk to. Its hard because I don't get out much as I don't drive and most of my friends who I had ditched me. Anyways like I said I don't know to many people in the chat rooms that I know and trust. Just need someone to talk to is all.

sjr, I'm sorry to hear you're still feeling down. kenthomas27 and jogoldie are good people-I can vouch for them :). All three of us have offered for you to pm us anytime. Take us up on that offer!! Also, if you're more comfortable talking with another woman, I can vouch for most of the women here too. The only way for you to start to get to know us is to open up and talk to us. :) Whenever you're in a chatroom, just pick one of the women chatters, and ask if you can pm them to talk. It's easy as that. Good luck. :)

Hi sjr. I understand the chat room is a bit overwhelming. I have been there a few time and felt a bit out of place. Things were going too fast for me and there were too many in the chat room talking past each other.

I feel more comfortable here in the forum, or messaging if there is something private to say.

I have also experienced depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.

I am also open to chat if you want to message me.

Praying for you.

To root out the cause of your unhappiness you need to recognize what that root springs from. If you want to talk about it I'm always open-door. That goes for anyone. I'm not here to throw scripts at you or blame you and say you're not doing enough. But I will listen and I do understand what it feels like to be so down that it seems as though there is no way out.

My reason for joining this site was to get to know people and help practically in any way that I can, because people suffer a lot, and I have power to help that.

In the mean time, if you aren't ready to talk, let me just say that getting out in the fresh air, buying a cup of coffee, taking a bus or train trip somewhere or just smiling towards a stranger can make such a little difference to your day. One reciprocated smile will do more to make you feel well than any amount of advice you don't act upon.

If you do one thing today, smile at a stranger. Tomorrow make it two.

Just an update on how I am doing. I am not doing to good at all. I am still having the thought of suicide and plus I feel so lonely. Of course I don't get that much as I said before I don't drive and I don't have many friends. All my friends that I have now all live in different states (well most of them) so its not like I can just go see them. Well anyways I just wanted to update you all on how I am doing.

Not to analyze you, but you sound alone and bored, possibly empty inside? You might try and take steps to alleviate your current mindset. Try to begin filling your life with purpose and you may find more meaning and fulfillment. Are you employed, have hobbies, or involved in things that your passionate about?

Having friends to talk with may help, but its probably not a cure-all answer to what your feeling. Thoughts of suicide aren't an option. Remember that most people get lonely and depressed, so its not unusual for you to feel down at times. But keep your head up and keep on keeping on. You haven't been specific about why your depressed to the point of considering suicide, but if you can't shake it, talk to a professional. Most of the members here are friendly, but aren't equipped to council you if your seriously contemplating ending your life.

I am sorry you are feeling this way. I know it can be hard but suicide is not the answer. The problems we have are mostly temporary and they will too pass. If it's getting bad then I would advise to seek immediate help, otherwise as others said you're free to express anything here to anyone. There's nothing wrong on getting help. We have more years ahead so we might as well be in for a ride. :) I hope you will reconsider hon cause we will feel sad if you go through with it. I don't know you but I would be.

Hey SJR gbu.First of all those thoughts r not from God.There is always a better way,because God is the way and the life.When things seem difficult 2 us,they r never 4 God.But im glad u r reaching out 2 us.I hope 2 see u in the rooms 2 pray 4 you and chat more.If u have a Bible open it 2 Romans 8:37-39 it tells us that we cant be seperated from Gods love.He has a great future 4 u 2.U might not see it right now but God will reveal it 2 u soon.the Bible 2 think on these things lovely,of virtue,good report,noble and fix our eyes on Jesus.The truth of the matter is,because satan is full of lies is u r a treasure,valuable,very useful2 God and mankind,after all God created u 4 his good pleasure.Your not alone,many of us have felt the way u do,God comforted us in the storm and he will do the same 4 u.Now 2 end,I want u 2 take a deep breath,smile because God loves u with no conditions,let the peace of God rule in your heart,tell satan to go to hell where he belongs and that u r more than a conquerer in Jesus Christ who strengthens u.Get into a good Bible based church,get into a good Bible study and some sort of church ministry,maybe feeding the poor,visiting people,when u dopeople will thank you and u will have the chance 2 see how important u r 2 others and how God uses us.Hope 2 see u soon.Keep the chin up Bro and study Gods Word,it will build your faith and trust in him.

Hello sjr. You remind me so much of my own daughter. She is suffering from depression on a daily basis, but she doesn't know why. When things get really bad and she can't deal she calls or texts me. She has been suicidal also and even attempted it once about a month or so ago. I thank God that she and I are close enough to where she sent me a text and told me that she had taken an over dose of meds. I was able to go to her house and help her. Please, PLEASE don't do anything to yourself. I told my daughter that it would hurt me very, very much if she takes herself away from me because I love her very, very much. I am sure you have somone who feels the same about you, even if you don't see that now. You do matter and people care about you, even all of the people on here who are concerned for you and care enough to respond. I have been depressed beyond words....at times it felt even too much to breathe. But by the grace of God I made it through, and I am glad I am here today. Just take it hour by hour and dayby day....keep breathing and I can guarantee you things will get better.
