school help: Hi I’m a 34 years old and I have been having strong suicidal feelings for the last few days now. - Help.com

“Remember, everyone has self worth in our world.”

Thanks Matthew

i would recomend talking to someone that cares about you if you dont have someone like that i am glad to talk to you

Hi Lanjack. Thanks for your reply. I don’t have friends outside my family. Living with an elderly parent at my age has a stigma against it unfortunately even if it’s my choice. I do have brothers and a sister and they do care but they will be more anxious about our mother. My greatest fear is losing my job and the prospect of not getting another. I feel I have to deal with that before I can deal with my depression.

Thanks for that

It would probably be a good idea to find a counsler. Counslers, if you find a good one, help you work through the problems and not be dependant on medication. Be very careful about prescription meds, some of them can make you depressed. As a matter of fact, there are some prescription meds for depression that can make you have suicidal thoughts. A great herbal supplement to take to help with depression is St. John’s Wort. Remember that YOUR life is a gift, life is beautiful… everyone has a purpose in life and you are still here which means, that someone out there needs your presence in their life; you just haven’t met them yet. Everything will work out, if you just hang tough. Nothing in life that is worth having ever comes easy, besides, if you left now… you would miss out on some really great things yet to come :) I hope I helped some.

I know that you need some counseling, but try to relaxe and pray. You know sometimes i feel the that way too, but I always start to think about the good times and what I could leav behind if i do, just remember that God loves you so do your mother call a friend wirte aletter about your feelings and watch the difference, but please don’t kill yourself because if you Ai will surely miss you.

Love someone who really cares!!!!!!!!!!!

so if i may ask do you belive in god.

TO Lanjack3- yes I Believe in God.

well lisen do you think goad forgot abot you?

Sometimes I do feel that way Lanjack. You know, someone had a posting about the saying that “God helps those who help themselves”. The person who started the posting doesn’t like the saying at all and neither do I. It’s not that I don’t want to take responsibility for my life- I do but I want a purpose and because I haven’t found that yet no one seems to want to know. People like people who are confident, ambitious, bright side out 24/7 and all of that. And because I don’t have the wherewithal to have such an attitude I Kind of feel lost in this life. My mother and, in fairness my siblings too are the hand at my back but you know the way it is- your loved ones will always think the best of you even if you know they are wrong. I feel it’s the world outside that you have to convince- and God- that you are worth something. I am not one of those people who is happy to be sad. I want to get out of this funk. Desperatley want out of this dark place I’m in right now. Just can’t see the light at this moment.

ok i know what your talking about you need a big change. and ill tell you what i did i joined the coast guard but you know sometimes you just need to talk to someone and i am allways willing to talk to you.

Thanks for that Lanjack- you know that’s something I know I should do- join a club or a soc- take me out of myself. What’s stopping me is the fact that my job is going down the swanny. When you feel that you are about to get the sack it’s hard to contemplate meeting new people. If it does happen and I do get the sack then what do I tell people who don’t know my situation? It would be just too embarrassing.
