Time! Time time time... Can't stress enough. Sadness only lasts for a season, but killing yourself lasts forever. There are good things in life that one wont notice in a state of sadness, but if you think really hard, you'll remember some of better things that at one time made you happy. Remembering those and focusing on them will eventually bring you out of the sadness you seem to be in... Good luck. Hope this helps!

keep yourself busy... indulge in ur hobby...be active!! ul surely feel bettre!! cheers :)

Yeah, I thought I had a little girl for about a year then found out she wasn't mine. It about killed me. The day I found out I thought about ending it all. The only cure I found was time & realizing that it was probably for the best that she wasn't mine.

time is the best healer. but you must also be quite firm and be want to get out of sadness !!!!!!!! two hands are needed for a slap.

keep looking at all the blessings you have in life make a list even if they are little things like you have food to eat,,, and read whenever you are feeling down

I have been there more than I care to recall , I have however have gotten some great advice a to how to defeat the deep blues /depression sadness....... I have done this and It works , hope you give it a try and let us know how you are doing ..... Make a gratitude list- If your mind i clouded with thoughts of self murder and negative things seem to parade around in yur head th proper thing to do is get some help (gotta say ) that is te best thing to do, but in the short term create a gratitudelist to consist of everything you can should or are grateful for.... example I sometimes feel sorry fr myself or feel less than or get upset about trivial stuff which mut haut my thoughts more than they should and I was told if I make /write /think of every thing that I can be grateful for then the small stuff which depresses me loses its power ....I start with being grateful for my eyes to see , my ears to hear (some people have notsight nor can hear) I go from the big things I have or accomplishments I have experienced ll the way to the people in my life family ,friends present and pasdt , every single hair on my head and so on .... Its most likely that once you begin making this list by the time you are ready to stop or get stuck on whats next -you will have totally forgotten what it was that depressed you or in other words IT WILL BE MORE THINGS you ca be thankful for than tat sadness and trust me if you do it the list can put you to bed and wake up still unfinished .... God bless you and BTW -iF YOU FEEL LIKE HURTING YOUSELF AFTER THAT -PLEASE CALL FOR HLP THE HOSPITAL WILL ADMIT YOU AND ALLOW YOU A CHANCE TO CLEAR YOUR HEAD AND REST... Too much time on your mind these thoughts only grow ...Gd Bless you ..

when the mirth is low, i like chatting with the AK

I seriously contemplated suicide when my husband and I split up and I had three children, no job, no way to pay the bills. I sat down and wrote a suicide note. Was going to cut my wrists. I couldn't bear to try and raise my kids not knowing how I was going to pay the bills, etc. I came from a divorced family and I so did not want my children to grow up that way. Then after I called the suicide prevention hotline, I came to the conclusion that I could file for divorce, try to get a job and if all that failed, THEN I could commit suicide. In retrospect, I realize my thoughts were due to extremely low self esteem and insecurity plus no confidence in myself. I felt unloveable. But those feelings were all about ME when I had others to think about. I had no parents to back me up and just felt so alone. But I managed to get through it. There are worse things, I've found. I just lost my oldest son unexpectedly last month and the pain of that is greater than anything I could ever have imagined. I advise people to hang in there. It will either get better or it will get worse. If it gets worse . . . get some professional help. You're entitled to it.

kill somebody else

multiple times. I have been suicidal several times in the last few months..recently in the last week. Cure: there isn't really one. I usually just stay on AB until someone makes me laugh or email a friend and vent or cry or whatever..it changes every time.

I have a few times before, some not far past. The thing I do is get close to your friends at that moment. Let them know what you're feeling, and that you'd like to do something. Even if it's just talking, go to a movie...do something that is going to get your mind off of what's bothering you. Most times were PTSD for me, and there were people to help me with that professionally. If you don't feel like you can go to your friends about the problem, I URGE you to see a professional, there is nothing wrong with needing help, it's better to d oit now, than to do nothing at all. Good luck buddy. +3

Coming from someone that has been through more than enough attempts at something so irrational, you really have to stick it out. When I was in high school, I, in complete honesty, didn't think I was going to make it out alive. Not the alive like work will kill me, but I was so depressed each day that I knew I was going to kill myself before I got out. I met a my last boyfriend that I dated for 3 years and I realized some of my problem was the people I surrounded myself with. One guy I was dating was so upset all the time too so that I wasn't growing or trying to fix myself at all, just trying to fix him. My last boyfriend, he really saved me in a lot of ways by being stable and supportive. While learning to cope with sadness and vulnerability is something everyone should learn, and really know how to do, I think there's nothing wrong with reaching out for someone to help steady yourself. You can't always just learn to be with yourself right off, sometimes you need a trusted helping hand. Keep your chin up!
