I have been thinking again. If i took myself off this mortal coil, would i be missed, would the world stop turning, would the sun not come up in the morning ? Ok im not about to do myself in, but if i was in a lot of pain or in situations with equitable outcome, would it be so bad to accept that continuing this life is not worth the candle? I would value your thoughts. Please dont bring god into it, this is a serious discussion, thankyou.

To be honest I don't know but 5 years ago I wanted to do it that is when I was 100% diagnosed with this Illness, I lost my Job because of this Illness, I was restricted because of this Illness and then I was told I was not able to ever work again well that did it for me I loved going out to work and I had loved my Job that I had been bullied out of because of the Illnesses
I got depressed and I mean badly so I ended up on Anti depressants which I have never had to have in my Life and I am still on them now I can't cope without them, well anyway that was it for me, I was going to take all the Tablets I had, but then my Son rang me, then my lovely Man rang me, and then my Daughter walked in and do you know I knew I could not be so selfish and leave these People that love me and are trying their best to help me and to get me through it all, the 3 People that I love more than anything, I also realized that after a bad Marriage I had found a Man that really cares for me loves me and is with me through all of this
It is because of him that I am determent to not smoke again, he has seen his Mum die of the Illnesses that I have and I will not put him through that again
So the Tablets where put back in the Draw and only taken as prescribed, but some People do not see it that way though
The world will carry on, the Sun will also come out but the People that love you will suffer hurt ask themselves why and could they have done more and they will miss you terribly and that is what you need to remember the ones you love and that love you are the ones left behind hurting so bad

I was really moved by your very touching confession that you have made.Since you have gone through it you know better as to what it is.No other response can be more meaningful than your's.When people take such a drastic decision they forget about those who love them.They are left hurting.They will feel guilty thinking they could have helped you.I hope and pray that you get better.Wishing you good health,my friend.Take care.

I usually think of the others to whom I will be causing so much pain by taking my own life. I don't think I can be that selfish and whatever the situation that I am in or however painful, my thoughts first go out to the people who love and care about me. This is my viewpoint and doesn't have to be the right one...but that's the way I feel and I speak for myself.

I've been in too much emotional and psychological pain eight years ago because of too many losses.But I didn't resort to being violent toward myself.I value life so much like I value my breath that I see the brigher side of it even to the darkest moments...I had experienced being loved, left, multiple losses but now that I regained life, I see more that life is beautiful having known some ugly side of side...The more I am appreciating life and not giving up on it.
To you saying you'd be missed...that is for sure.For all the people who've known you well or casually.And when you're gone, people would only talk about the goodness in you.Ending life to a difficult and sorrowful life is not the key end a worthless life...It is always good to know such in order to define happiness.Because if you will not know pain and sorrow, you will never know happiness too!!!This would give us a point of comparison of life.
Life indeed is a journey and adventure, it's up to the individual to be creative to discover it, but ending it will dull the going!So treasure every moment of life!

Life is a gift given to us. Though we can't choose to where we are born. But to whomever it is there must be a reason. Trials happens to us not to pull as down but to test our strength in life. It happens to make us stronger not to make us weaker. What matters in life is not how many times we fall but on how many times we stand back up and continue. Theres so much in life to see. For every bad thing that happens theres always a good things that follow. At the lowest ebb of my life.. I have come acroos this poem. And I want to share it. I don't know who wrote this but I find it inspiring. Poem http://www.inspiration4everyone.com/poems/success_poems/dont_quit.html
I hope it will enlighthen you to think good of life than giving up.
