I’m going to kill myself.
I know exactly how and when I’m going to do it.
The reason? ( If you actually give a ****) Is I have a job.. The only job in the world that I want to do but I’m going to lose it. I’m going to lose it because I’m about to lose my license. I’m going to lose my license because I was addicted to heroin, and I got pulled over while being high. I’ve been clean from that evil drug for almost a year, and I’ve done everything in my power to clean up my life. But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if your clean and you want to change your life and it doesn’t matter if you pray to god every night and you work hard every day to keep your honest job and it doesn’t matter if you love your family and don’t want to die. Because your past will catch up to you. When they pass judgement and you lose everything that you ever had, or loved, there’s absolutely no point in suffering any longer.
My name is Vince and I’ve suffered way more than I should have. This is my cry for help. I’m going to kill myself tomorrow. Will you please give me a reason not to?

Why are you ‘about to’ lose your license for something that happened a year ago?
because its not the way to end things. You can still change. Just becuase your past caught up with you doesnt mean anything. You can still change it. You dont have to think that just because your life hit a bad moment means it means killing yourself. There are other ways then killing yourself. You can get help getting clean, you can find other ways to get to work, and you can keep going. Even though I dont know you, I know you can do it.
You have obviously changed. And there are always going to be someone out there willing to give you a chance. You just have to look for it. You’ve been clean for almost a year, you said. That is an incredible achievement. Don’t throw it away, please!
And a job, even if it is the most amazing job in the world, is not worth ending your life for. You will find a job, eventually.
Are you sure you have looked at all your possibilities? There is always a way, always! No matter how bleak it all seems now, you will find away out.
And you say you love your family. If you love them, Vince, you cannot do this to them. You have no idea how much pain you will cause them.
Good luck, Vince. Please, find someone to talk to, about your options for the future, and how you are feeling. There is always a way!
I am clean. I have been for almost a year. But like I said, its not enough.. The world doesn’t give a **** if your clean. I’m not going back to minimum wage. My family cannot survive on that, I don’t want to be alive to see them suffer. I don’t want to suffer anymore…
unfortunately our society puts way too much emphasis on succeeding and does not
teach the benefits and insights that come with so called failing…there are so many ways to be in the world…when I feel as you do that I want to kill myself I have
learned to understand that life is not how I want it at the time and that instead of
me wanting life to change I now have the opportunity to be creative and change my viewpoint on life…to look at it from a different perspective…you have experienced life on a much deeper level than alot of folks…you are a very sensitive person…
many folks do not know how to feel as deeply as you do….we need folks like you here to be strong and creative and to find ways of living with those deep feelings and to support others in doing so…there is too much superficiality and fear of emotions in the world…I hope instead of killing yourself you will be inspired to embrace your feelings and be creative and explore all the zillions of other ways to be in the world and create a way that is uniquely you…wishing you good fortune and a renewed enthusiasm about being who you are
You have a family too? Think about that. Without even a minimum wage, how is your family going to survive? Along with grieving for you, what are they going to do then?
Hello, you would like a reason not to kill yourself? Okay, your family. They need you… yes you think that they rely on you just to help sustain their living in the way of food, shelter, clothing but I’m talking about a real need here … they NEED you in a way that is deep and is far beyond what you can do for them, but who you are as a person and what you stand for.
You are strength to your family, you are an over comer and a person who perseveres through obstacles. You are triumphant in more ways that you know and you have the admiration of your family, and of me.
I don’t know you but you exude qualities that I admire and that others admire and your life as hard as it is right now, stands for something against all those accomplishments you have made in the past.
To end your life would bring such life long suffering and a burden that would not go away. You don’t want to burden your family do you? They need you. Just as you need them, you are a source of encouragement and pride for them. Of all people, they can look to you for comfort and peace to know that when things get hard… you push harder… that’s what gets the job done. You are their source of strength my friend. You have ALOT going for you right now, what is a job? In all honesty, yes money makes the world go round but I’d rather have my family by my side helping me every step of the way through this life than to abandon them or be abandoned by them. That would be a wound that would cut very deep and never heal.
I am glad you found the courage to talk here… and I am so glad to see you are clean and healthy. I stand up and applaud you from my side of the net friend! You rock!
It hurts so much to let them down, I can’t take it….
I’m so weak. It feels like I gave everything I had and I cant give anymore… I’m so tired of the pain and depression I don’t want to feel anything anymore. I hate what I was, and I hate what I’m going to become when I lose it all. I’m so tired…
Is there a way to car pool? Could friends or family give you a ride to work? What about posting a sign at work, that you need a ride to work? What about a bus? A taxi? There has to be options that you haven’t thought of?
What about finding legal aid and making a plea to the judge for extenuating circumstances that you are the sole provider for your family? Could you maybe work out something with the legalities of your case?
There is a way around this, not out…
I live an hour away from my job. I’ve been trying to find a solution for the last 6 months to no avail, and my lawyer has been nothing more than the bearer of bad news since I got stopped… This dui has been hanging over my head like a dark cloud for 6 months, and I can’t seem to find any solution… I don’t know what I’m going to do, but if I do lose my job, well…
is there a way you could work from home? maybe take a personal leave?
Are you married? Could your wife/girlfriend drive you to work? It is an incovenience but…
I don’t… I’m single with no gf, and I don’t have anyone in my family that’s available to drive me that far… I’m really ****** over in this situation and I can’t find anyway out! Its hopeless, so I give up. Thanks for your help, everyone that replied here today, but I think its a lost cause.
I’m so sorry
Your dying over work?………. what?….. just take it to court or ask if you can work at home. Your family cant survive on minimum wage and your going to kill yourself thus leaving them with no money and making them suffer? Your not thinking things out very well. This is a lot easier than you may think if you just think of ways you normally wouldnt think of.
It is not a lost cause, you still have this job right? Well in the mean time, go on your lunch break or your free time and find a different job one that is closer to work… or, you can possibly apply for employment insurance?>
its just a job, get another, it doesnt mean its the end of the world or that you have to go to minimum wage. personally i would be proud of yourself for changing your life around and getting of the drugs. killing yourself is the easy way out and quite selfish. dont do it. its not the answer. i kinda know how you feel, ive thought about doing it myself, but im too much of a coward to take the cowards way out.
surely the job you have is not the only job in that line of work, move anway and try and find the same kinda job but with a fresh start and where no one knows you or your past. Good luck, i wish you all the best.
i **** my pants and i didnt kill myself
Do it ******.
