Have you ever been so frustrated with life you start to question your existence? If I didn't have a 6 year old to worry about.. I would end my misery right now.

I have many a scars....and many wounds still to heal. Personally I'm glad to hear that there is someone you love (your child) that keeps you here. On the other hand though-we only have one life to live and co-dependency of any sort is not the way to live it. Find something to keep you going....I write....draw....wash dishes...lol. With all the bad parts come good, it sucks waiting for them cause god knows only a fraction of a fraction in my life is good. But just looking back at all I've been through and where I'm at now makes living worth it. Live for you....live for your child....live so you can maybe help me out one day when I'm feeling like you. It happens often....but it's easier to give advice then take it. You are not alone in this-I think of death at least once a day, but there is so much more here for us to see....we just gotta find it...lol.

Well I am glad that you have something that is stopping you. I think it is normal to question your existence, however, I have not thought so far as to end my life. Perhaps you should try to go talk to someone. A trusted friend or a therapist if you can afford it. The therapist can help you sort out your feelings and possibly help you get to the bottom of your pain. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you get some help. Have a wonderful day.
Something to think about... make a list, no matter how long or short, of the good things in life or things that make you smile. Keep it in your wallet and pull it out when you need to be cheered up.

If you are truly having suicidal thoughts you need to seek and get help the one question to ask yourself is if i want to do this do I have to do it now suicide is a control issue what the person in effect is saying is if I can't control my life then I will control how I end it all if your six year old is the reason you won't harm yourself then think about this children who have a parent commit suicide are far more likely to commit suicide themselves everyone has thought sometime in their live about suicide the question is how serious are you do you have a plan means etc. if so run don,t walk to get professional help

Sounds awful. I think it's something that crosses everyone's mind once in a while, but if it's a regular thing you should ask your doctor for help.
Maybe this will be helpful: suicidal urges are anger that's misdirected towards yourself rather than at the thing you're actually angry about. If you can catch the thoughts you have immediately before a suicial urge it can be a very powerful disarming tool.
Sorry it's so painful. Hang in.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time right now. I think everyone has been there in some way...hang in there. If for nothing else, for your child. He/she needs you. And will always need you.
Do you have a support system at all? How about a trusted Pastor? I would suggest talking to someone...anyone. Heck, you can even talk to me. Just don't ever cross that line. It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Let me know if you need to talk!

I have flet that way myself sometimes. I have to keep telling myself that it is not always going to be this way forever. Things change and there is a season for everything. This season for your depression will pass. Try to stay strong for your six year old.
If it doesn't get any better, go to the doctor and let them know what is wrong. I went to my doctor, got some light meds and started seeing a therapist. I am not off the meds and not seeing the therapist anymore. I still have bad days just like everyone else, I am just better equiped to handle them now.
Hope things get better. I know they will just give them time.

This is just a time in your life when you feel things are down, you need to get a hold of your life and your thoughts and think positive. Life is not always going to be easy and we are not going to have things in life that we always want but we need to think of the people who love us, especially our children. I hope you things work out and you don't do anything stupid such as what you are talking about. If you need someone to talk to look for help.

suicide is never the right answer, and if you are having thoughts of killing yourself, even if you are just flirting with the idea, you should consider professional help. suicide devastates the people around you.. did you know that a family that has one suicide victim is 50% more likely to have another suicide than a regular family? suicide has to be one of the hardest things to live threw for those that are left behind... the emotional tax it puts on people is unbelievable and incomprehensible if you haven't been threw it. death is the easy part of living, and it will come for you on it's own when it's time. so no, i don't nor have i ever considered suicide, and anytime someone around me feels that way, even a little, i get them help.

My kids kept me from doing the same thing, Until I had a scare where I thought I was going to die and realized I didn't want to. I want to see my kids grow up and share their lives with them, That alone is reason enough to live life the best you can. Try to find happiness in the little things, like the love your child has for you!

It will get better. Your child is more important than anything so stop being so selfish and try to get counseling. Suicide is not the answer. Your child needs you, your family and friends need you, just image what you would do to them if you took your own life, it would not be fair to them or your child. We all have a time in our life when we think we hit rock bottom but trust me it does get better than this. Try talking to a suicide hot line please before you do anything stupid.
