There have several times. In some instances I really did think about how I could end my life. How did I get passed it? Well, I attempted to commit suicide a few years ago and well, the whole experience made me realize that I did not want to die. I just wanted to kill off that rotten part of my soul. It's a struggle. Some days are better than others and I just try to take it day by day. The prozac helps some, as does writing. I watch comedies and release my stress by yelling at people. Oh yes, and I take long hot bubble baths that are so very soothing.
Being grateful for the little things also helps. I get happy when I get to eat a sundae, or when I am able to buy something nice for myself. The other day I bought myself the most gorgeous sundress made with vintage floral fabric. It was a splurge, but it is just so beautiful. Having things like that make me happy, as does being with my family and friends...
For better or worse, I am here to stay...

I never felt life was not worth living. I have felt much weight on my shoulders though. I got past it by taking time to process what I have in my life - a great lady, a great child, a job I enjoy that pays my expenses. Not to mention friends that are pretty good to me. Now that I talk about it - if I run into problems, I try harder to correct. If there is something I want or my family wants, I set my goal higher to get them what makes them happy.

I have many times. But to get passed it you need to just think about the future. Know that there is always a tomarrow that brings many possiblities. Don't linger in the past. Think of the people that love and support you. Hold on to those people and forget about all the people that make you sad cuz they don't matter. You are going to have problems but life goes on. Life is too short so enjoy what you have now.

I've been down-and-out a few times in my life, like everyone. But never to the point where I felt "life is not worth living." I still have parents, brothers & sisters & other family, that I would never contemplate ending it all.

I pass life everyday - each time it flushes down the drain with the rest of the nonsense that gets to me once in a while.
Somedays I can get along with myself but lately I got a cold what with all this rain and all...its not summer. I need a holiday.

Medication actually helped. The hard part was talking to my doctor about it. I'm pretty private. In fact, it only came up (depression) because of other symptoms we were addressing. (blood pressure, insomnia, appetite, weight fluctuation) and while he figured out what was going on, he focused on the sleep aspect. Prescribed an anti depressant for the insomnia. After a while it helped a bit.
Then, at least, I knew what it was. that made it a bit easier to handle, too.

Quite a few times in the past few years. But I thought about the fact that my family would really be hurt - especially my child. I also thought about the fact that I know I have something to contribute to this world, and if I end it I would not be able to do that. Antidepressants helped too.

Just a few months ago.
I'm being treated for severe clinical depression and was suicidal earlier this year.
The only thing that stopped me was a promise I made to my Sweetie.
She made me promise to not hurt or kill myself, and she knows that I NEVER break a promise.
That was the only thing that kept me from eating a bullet.
Because I'm taking antidepressants and seeing a counselor I've left the suicidal thoughts far behind.

Constantly. I don't really know how I keep getting past it and jumping right into it again. There is the medication route, but that wears off in time, there is prayer, which has never failed, but takes time, I think it just all boils down to time.
I'm in peril too. Let us know if it gets any better.
