Please, don't give up on life!

Even though I sometimes get depressed to the point of suicidal ideations, I will never give up on life. If I committed suicide, my friends, family, teachers, doctors, school psychologist and psychiatrist will wonder why I did that, if it is their fault why I committed suicide.

Every time I fantasize about killing myself, I always think about my friends and tell myself that I am not going to give up, because if I did, nearest and dearest will suffer prolonged grief and blame themselves, because I committed suicide.

Every time I feel suicidal, I keep my reality in check and I stay away from any objects that can be used as a weapon on myself.

One thing that helps with my depression, is when I ask for help, not hide my emotions anymore to the point of rage. Please, don’t be afraid to ask for help and never give up on life!

I have attempted my life a couple of times.

Last time was March 2020

The stress of being unemployed, then the Covid-19 pandemic started and I have not got back into a sensible rhythm since

I also have ideation, and it’s quite strong sometimes

They said I don’t have depression, just negative symptoms of the SZ, so there is no treatment

The urge to give up lately has subsided. I’m worried about this morning: am I going to be able to get to the grocery store or will my back hurt too much. But I accept my delimma. I tell you a funny thing that has happened. I liked the guitar, classical guitar especially, I read music pretty well. But when I got the mandolin I fell in love. It is something to live for definitely. Yesterday I did some cleaning around the house and feel inspired to get in shape ( I weigh 250 lbs )to be able to get my place clean. I’m not giving up, my demands aren’t that great.

I made many attempts. But now I’m happy with my husband and kids. And I want to live. It does get better. I divorced my first husband and got better treatment and it helped me tremendously

Take control. There are ways out. Find them. Fight back.

I always say suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem.

I’ve been suicidal but have always gotten better. Being on an AD has also helped.

I feel so goddamn privileged. I have a good economy, i don’t have a weight problem, i have got a good family, and a few very loyal friends, but it’s like i can’t appreciate it.

I still have a yearning to end it all (especially tonight) - don’t worry, I have not got the guts after all, and I know that I could be in a good mood tomorrow.
