have you ever felt tempted to take your own life when you were depressed or when there was a great loss in your life? If so, how did you cope with those feelings? If someone was struggling with thoughts of wanting to commit suicide, what would you say to encourage them not to (or would you just let them decide to do it?) What advice would you give to help a person get past suicidal thoughts?

As long as I can remember, it never cross my mind to kill myself during the tough times in my life. Yes, there were instances when I wish I can escape the sorrow, the agony but then I just tell myself I gotta fight it. It will never go away until I face it and do something about it. It will always haunt me back sooner. And I will always tell myself that I am not alone, I have my family and friends . And if that doesn't console me then I will tell myself that I am not the only one experiencing this kind of pain, that somewhere out there is also struggling like me and if they are fighting so am I. You just have to motivate yourself to not give up.

It has dawned on me several times as an escape, as an option, but never really attempt in doing so. Even the harsh realities of life are too much to bear, i just look at my kids and then i know i need to live for them. Life is full ups and downs, that is how we go through life. Just be strong, hopeful, and most of all, prayers do help. GOD bless.

I have thought about taking my own life when i was younger and actually attempted it twice. But no matter how hard your life may be, is killing yourself really the best option? Your family, husband and kids would have to live with that the rest of there lifes and I would never want to put them through that pain.
