All those problems you listed are a pretty good reason, to go on, to overcome them, to completely triumph in life. Everyone is inspired by people who tell those stories — “Once upon a time, my life sucked and everything was against me, but through sheer hard work and help from my friends and my super-secret ingredient, I became king of the winkies!” You know, like the little engine that could? People love those stories, so they must be meaningful somehow, so maybe that would be a good way to live.

You off yourself and the odds are very high that your son will off himself, too. You want that?

Get therapy, get focused and get moving!

The past is gone, the present is lost as it arrives–there is only the future!

Like dedynseyed said, your child needs you and you got to stay strong if only for her sake. More often than not, children make the same mistakes that their parents did and it is your duty to make sure your child grow up in a decent environment and not make the same mistakes. Reach out for help from your local church or community and try to help your mom pay the bills.

One thing I learned the hard way is that no one is responsible for us except ourselves. There are times when our current circumstances are caused by other people instead of our “wrong choices”. A very wise old soul told me something that changed the way I look at things: “Maybe they f*cked up your life but it is YOUR life that was compromised, not theirs. You can either get up and deal with it or you can be a bum. Your choice.” I’m not justifying what they did, all I’m saying is that no amount of whining or anger can change what happened to us. The only option we have is to keep going. Only we can make a difference in our lives.

your a mum and a daughter right? so how would you be if your mum or daughter committed suicide, yep, that’s how messed up they’d be if you killed yourself. just hang in there luv, keep going, you can do it!

I know all this really, i just lost all my friends through seperations but i suppose they werent good friends if theyre not around now, i just need to vent my emotions, booked into a psychologist next week. It just doesnt help that depression runs in the family, both sides, mum has depression and my uncle on my dads side commited suicide. I am hanging on but its so much worse when horrible thoughts are running through my head, and all i have is the need to live for other people. I want to enjoy life again, i want to spoil myself a little without feeling guilty. When i help myself i feel like im wasting time that i should be helping other people. And as an artist and waitress i rely on my hands but they shake so much it makes me angry and upset that i cant work as i use to, i use work as an escape, but im losing even that every day
