You’re beat up and tired, and so are many other people in this world. You have a choice as always, to do what you choose but remember that you gain nothing from ending your life. If you are strong you will choose to face the world again each day and tell it to go screw itself. Show them that you can keep fighting even without their help.

First, you wouldn’t have posted to this site if you were absolutely set on killing yourself, so realize that there is a part of you that doesn’t want to die.

Second, positive thinking has never helped me either. I’ve been getting dumped on for the last four years, and it doesn’t seem like it is going to stop soon, no matter how positive I try to be.

Third, the economy is bad now. A lot of people are out of work. Eventually, the economy will recover, and eventually you will find a job. You just have to ride it out. (I lost my job in May. I was lucky to find another in two months, but I still know what you are going through).

Three weeks ago, I was sitting in my living room with my pistol, loaded and cocked, sitting in my lap. Why didn’t I shoot myself? Part of it was stubbornness, I guess — I didn’t want to admit that I have completely failed. Part of it was simple hope. I couldn’t see things getting better, but I felt that if I held on a little while, maybe they would. I decided to wait and see. (And yes, although things are still bad, they are at least a little better.)

So, why not wait? Why not set a date, and wait to kill yourself until then? Make it at least a few months from now so things have a chance to change. I bet that by the time that day comes around, you won’t want to kill yourself as much as you do now. In the meantime, get some help. Go to a suicide prevention support group, talk to other people, keep sending out resumes. These things may not help, but they may, so why not try?

Tell us did you kill yourself?

You won’t have any of those things ever again if you suicide. Death is not the solution to problems; it’s the end of existence.

You’re smarter than that. You’re better than that. Losing your house? Time for a roommate? Lots of people out there have no home at all; why not open yours for a person who can help with the bills and maybe even provide some good company now and then. Or, start looking for a cheaper place. In this economy, lots of landlords are willing to negotiate because any rent is better than none. And if that just won’t work, I’m sure you have a relative or a friend who is able and willing to put you up for while -maybe even one who needs your company and companionship as much as a few extra dollars.

And if you’re absolutely broke with nothing whatsoever, I’ve heard the Salvation Army happily provides cots and decent meals. Nothing fancy, but you’ll do more than just survive. And they’re pretty good about finding resources for other help, too.

If you really do lose your truck, so what? There’s a used vehicle for sale on every other corner of America, and when you’re working again you’ll find the funds. And in time you’ll be able to buy a new truck. Besides, there are lots of little things about the one you have that you don’t like, anyway.

Your wife is leaving? Sad, but you know…maybe good riddance. A woman who waits for a man to be down then hits the door with a snarl and your last paycheck isn’t worth being married to. A real wife might tell you she had enough; but she would wait to make sure you were going to be okay. No loving spouse would just wander off without doing what she could to make sure you were going to be able to recover and recuperate, revive and move on.
