Here's the thing: my family life is not perfect (then again whose is) but my brother went to jail when I was five and got sentenced to life. My mom's never been one to be called "stable" usually it was some anger problem...she hated the whole world basically. At the beginning of 2005 she went to a whole new level. She completely lost it and had to be put on medication and in a hospital. Then in November of 05 my dad got into a wreck that broke every bone in his face and he's been having to undergo reconstructive surgery for the past year. Well as for me I have thought about sucide and I wanted to run away from home...the only problem with that idea is I'm scared of death and I don't have anywhere to go. Is it I'm out of my mind or is it just too much for me to take?

That sounds like way way to much for you to handle. I would try to speak to a psychiatrist about this. Or maybe the school counselor

I don't think you are out of your mind. I think that you are having a normal reaction to the extenuating circumstances around you. You describe three major losses in your life so far - first your brother, then your mother, now your father. Your family is falling apart all around you. It is a series of unfortunate events. Regarding feeling like you want to suicide, this is normal. Everyone thinks about suicide in their life, especially when life gets tough. However, you show great strength in that you recognize that death is not the answer. I think you already know on a deeper level that you will get through this. Although you may feel at a loss right now, and you might resent your life or your family, you've already survived your brother going to jail and your mother's breakdown. And so you will survive your father's recovery. And anything after that you will survive.
The only thing you won't survive is a successful suicide. So don't give up, don't give in to the temptation to end your life.
People who go through horrible traumas share something in common. They all know that life is made of opposite forces. Each bad thing is countered by a good thing. Be patient and focus on the good in your life. Focus on helping your father recover, or visit your mom whereever she is to tell her that you still love her. Or, try helping other people in trouble by sharing your strengths with them.
I know that life is sucky right now, but you have already shown you have the strength to overcome. Good luck and G-d bless.

Omg. im so sorry to hear all of this. I think you are just under so much stress, and pressure, that your about to crack (and trust me anyone would be about to, me too) But thoughts of suicide are NEVER healthy and you must start going to counseling. There's nothing wrong with just going to a counselor and saying "i need help" thats what they are for. Ive gone to a therapist/counselor/whatever you want to call it, and it's only helped me grow and learn to help myself. If your still in high school your school probably has it's own counselor. Another thing that will never fail is prayer. God is always there for you.
I hope i could be a help to you.

well just know one thing - Jesus loves you!and His home is your home and suicide wont get you there..it'll get you to HELL! so just keep that in mind..
Just cry out to the Lord,read the Bible..theres just sooo much in it.
People cant help you but God can..put your trust in Him.
