I have been there, and someone convinced me things do get better. And you know what? They did. The worst part is when you believe things will always be awful. Please believe me, they DO get better. You simply don't recognize that yet, but give yourself a little time. What have you got to lose by taking a little time? You have a LOT to lose by being hasty. The advice about calling 800 273-talk was excellent advice, please try it.

Just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you... that your spirit will be light, your heart be healed and you would find something to bring joy and hope to you. Please consider at least waiting a while.... summer is coming, a season that makes us all feel more positive. If you feel the same way the end of summer you can reconsider... but make a decision not to do anything until after then.

Thank you to Jane for providing those resources.
lmartin: I urge you to contact one of the resources Jane provided. I think you are in the wrong place if you're feeling depressed and suicidal. None of us are mental health professionals, as far as I know. You've posted less than a dozen times and then announce that you're going to kill yourself... what do you expect us to do? We don't even know you. You've made these sorts of posts elsewhere, and I hope for your sake that you're not serious and just looking for attention.
I have a friend who attempted suicide a few years ago and it's a terrible thing for everyone involved. If you're serious, you need to seek *professional help* asap.

lmartin - This may be a little off topic (but considering the thread, that's probably a good thing) - are you actually a dev? From what I've read of your posts, it sounds like you enjoy being with a wheeler because it makes you feel good to help someone, which, to me anyways, doesn't sound like a devotee. Not that that can't be an aspect of devness, but there's more to it than that.

This is hard for me to comment and I won't even try to give any advice because I think this is a very awkward way to try to announce your exit out of this world on this board and I have to agree with Lee on this... My take on it: Suicide in general is not the answer though....life is too precious in so many ways... I am definately not a happy-go-lucky person 24/7 but suicide is not an option...many of us deal with their demons every day but I personally try to focus on the good things in my life and faith and even something as simple as the cloud with the silver lining as brace4impact stated can make a difference... Suicide is the easy way out and it hurts everyone around you, you should reconsider and try to bring things into perspective before you make this final decision...

You know, I have noticed in my past that girls, well, not just girls, can be attracted to us bcoz it's sooo f*cking event we have serious probs. I've always repelled people tat were drawn to me bcoz of that. I'm really REALLY not there mentally, and can't stand being around someone who is...drags me down! I've had a few chair guys try to lean on me that way, and I am sympathetic to it, but i can't give too much energy to it. I'm just not there!
When i was younger, not in a chair yet, i came close to doing the suicide thang, and man, i'm glad i didn't...life is all in how you're looking at it. Maybe for some people it's what they have to do, but I don't want to miss anything good that might happen.
I hope u don't do that to yourself...you're probably worth more care n love than that!!

I had severe depressions on my own and what I know is that you'll always have bad days. I'm not going to tell you what is right or wrong because you're old enough to decide what's best for you. What I can tell you is that you have a few bad days/weeks/months. It will go away and eventually you'll find a person you want to be with, who makes you laugh and who just helps you out of the situation. You hurt your ex ... so what? My ex broke up with me on my b-day and now he's one of my best friends We have this extraordinary talent to forgive if we want ... why not use it? And believe me, you need help. I was in therapy for a very long time and the moment I start feeling bad I will go back to my therapist and do whatever he tells me because I want to live. If you want to talk to me in private, message me

I know how you are feeling at the moment, I'm in that dark place to. In two weeks I go into the spinal unit were I will talk to the consellers and try to snap my mind back into shape. I last felt like this in2009 after spending 18 months in bed, I'm not going to tell you everything will be ok because it won't, but suicide is the last resort. It's strange I had a party in June for my 40th, I had my two sisters there with there kids, me I was single, alone, no kids. I felt so lonely and yet with all my friends, family there I felt loved, strange that don't you think? I've put a ad on dating4disabled, maybe that might work, well hope hey? I hope you can find away through it, be strong ok?
Pete,

Not strange at all, Pete. It is more than possible to feel lonely even when you are surrounded by family love. Romantic love is different. You've had a VERY rough time of it for the last few years, and then some. You have no idea how much I admire your fortitude. I hope you find your special love in the UK. You quite deserve it.

It's 3 weeks since she started this thread & nothing heard from since.Hope she got the help she was craving.Depression is a shite place to be,but a drug induced inertia isn't the way to go either.

I agree roger888 but still, this is board is not about depression and we can't help her. whatever happens, in the end it's her choice and if she wants to live she'll get help. I'm sorry if I sound like a bitch but there is no point in posting this here. If she wants to talk about depressions there are a lot of depression message boards, where people might be able to help or support her better than we can ...

There's another message board where someone with the same screen name was last active today. I think we can assume it was her... I offer that as a (hopefully) bit of relief for those who were concerned. (I was some.)

Maybe I'm callous, but seems like a cry for attention more than help.
To keep on responding to just tell people who are trying to help her that she doesn't want help? Why respond at all? Why say it if you don't want people begging you to reconsider?
You know where to go for help. Or you can kill yourself and ruin a lot of other people's lives. But what does any of that have to do with us?
My opinion is, for something like this, get real help and stop provoking strangers into feeling sorry for you.
