I just want to shoot myself.

Tonight is as good as any other.

How long is anybody supposed to go through life with no joy?
45 years? Why would anybody wait for the next 45 years to die?

I’ve taken a shotgun out of my mouth when an ex-girlfriend text messaged me.

WTF — Just ’cause a screwed a few women since then…does that justify staying alive?

Who ever thought you could work, save, build a family, lose it, and end up back at the beginning?

This isn’t the end of joy. This is a new beginning.

Don’t waste the gift that has been given to you. Don’t shoot yourself. There is joy in new beginnings that cannot be found anywhere else.

you were given a chance to become, and do what you want to when you were born. do you really want to throw that away? or do you want to take advantage of the limited time you have on this earth, where anything can happen

Oh…Don’t do that. It won’t solve anything anyway. Be a fighter. Face life.
I know life is tough but it is only with living that we experience the joy of life. Sure. Life is bitter but ain’t it sweet too? It’s awful now but do believe that things will be better. Kahlil Gibran, an author said “The greatest gift in life is brought by the greatest pain in life.” So embrace life with all the pain it gives, because, it’s the only way you’ll experience love, happiness and every heart-warming feeling that’s available to only those who are alive.

You might not be happy now but don’t worry. Happiness will come in forms and ways that will just catch you by surprise. So wait for that or better yet, make it happen. Try finding happiness by helping people, engaging a new hobby, etc.

If life took back everything it gave you, then it means life intends to give you something more. So keep living. Things will get better.

Hi,

I feel your pain. I have been in the same situation myself. I’m 39. I first tried to kill myself at the age of 16. Then again a few years later. Then at 33. Then again 2 years ago. I am still here.

Today, in this moment, I am in the process of loosing my girlfriend, who I discover is reconnecting behind my back with her ex.

I have an incurable virus on my vocal chords that need surgery or I will suffocate to death very slowly, but I don’t have any health insurance, therefore no surgery.

I recently got divorced and with that went my visa to stay in the USA, because the woman was starting to get aggressive.

So here I am, like you wondering is it worth continuing.

Life is like a roller coaster. Without the downs there can be no ups.

Most people will tell you to “don’t do it”, “think of what others will feel.”
Our society conditions us to tell others not to do things and to put others first.

My suggestion is, and this is only a suggestion, as you are the one,
the only one who can decide.

Take a moment to stop, close your eyes, take a deep breath in, listen to your
breath, breath out very slowly. As you do focus the breath into your heart.
Really feel it in your heart.

Repeat that as many times as you feel you need, listening to each in breath and out breath.

After a while you may find the answer comes to you.

Whatever that answer may be, trust it and allow
yourself the gift of knowing that the answer
came from your own heart.

Whatever you decide, know that there is
love and joy in your own heart and loving
compassion from me to you.

Many blessings,

Timothy
