Have you ever been so depressed you considered suicide?

I'm so very glad that you had the courage to come on here and tell us how you're feeling opalina. That's your first step to getting some sort of help. I'm not sure what is making you feel the way you're feeling and how it all started but whatever it is I really hope you get that sorted out. I've been through this before and have made some attempts but it wasn't because I wanted to die, it was for attention. I'm very glad I'm alive today and very glad I stummbled upon your discussion. Please add me as a friend if you want, and realize that I always check my messages if you want to vent. I know it's hard to talk to a stranger but now consider me a friend. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Really i am very thankfull for God that you don't succed. I think you are from the type of people who looks only in the past. Try to remember the best moments in your life, and then you will understand that you are not alone, and that life is a blessing that god gaves to us. Live for your parrents, for yours childen and for yours friends.

I have the same experience with you last year,it is a period of time when I feel that it has no meaning for me to live in the world. Everything is unhappy, I got failure in my life and feel depressed. But later on, after get some advice from my friends and my family, I get back courage and live happily. So, just talk to others and communicate with others, they will help you.

i have not thought about killing myself but i have thought about how much easier it would be not to be here anymore. life is hard and it seems to get harder the older you get. one thing i live for is my son and i do everything for him so being here is what i want and need. we all need a reason to get out of bed in the morning and he is mine.

In answer to your question. Yes. Many years ago (the silliest thing I ever tried to do). Took 16 panadol (what a waste of painkillers) and all it did was make me feel great for 3 days. Anyway, that was during my sad marriage and, when I look back, I realised he wasn't worth the pills. I kept living because I found another way to sort it out and because I still had two children who needed me. An extremely selfish thing to do, to be sure, but at the time my heart was so broken. Wouldn't even contemplate it now. I look back on that time as a learning curve. I have lost count of the number of people I've known personally who have done this and the families they have made suffer by their actions. It is truly a tragic thing and noone ever really knows why it happens.

i had been once in similar place where i lost me out of me it had a very serios moment for me,eveything was clerly horrible i was out of my mind when my boy frind left due to some personal resons

I rarely experience episode of depression. I think there are always solutions to things even when they are not the best that I can opt for. But have a give and take mentality sure help me get over with sadness. I think one should be more optimistic towards life and keep sucide out of their mind. It may be the quickest solution but it creates more problems for your love ones. Cheers and Happy MyLotting...

Hi, yes I have been so depressed I thought of doing something to ease the painful feelings I felt inside. I had to wait it out. I was seeing a mental health counselor to help with getting to the bottom of why I was depressed. Honestly I don't remember how long I continued counseling but when I was close to taking my life I told him what I was feeling. He told me I could admit myself into the hospital because if I did it myself it would be easier to be released instead of if my ex-husband had to admit me then he might leave me in there and take advantage of my personal belongings like selling my things of value. It could have been a big legal mess and I would have had no one to help me out. The counselor I had was very understanding. He was one of the mental health counselors that had been assigned to the people of NYC after the 911 attacts. Well looking back on my year of personal torment, I am glad I had a qualified mental health counselor to guide me through it.

Hi! wow this is a really good question when I saw this I knew I just had to answer it. Yes I did consider sucide a couple times. The reason I did was when I lost custody of my new kids to my ex husband cause he had more money than I did at the time. It was so hard that if I couldnt have them here with me why should I be here on earth. Then I sat up and relized that If I did commit suside than I would never be able to see my preious kids ever again and it would hurt them more than it did me to lose there mother for good. Thats when reality hit me and I knew I needed to be here for my kids no matter what
