Oh, you pooooor guy. You lost your job. That is soooooo tragic. I'm sure nothing like that has ever happened to anybody. And depressed. Heck, as long as you are depressed, it's perfectly OK to slap your wife. Pal, perhaps you are correct, and it would be best if you weren't here. So, are you going to just sit crying in your beer about how terrible everything is, kill yourself, or get up off your whiny butt and DO SOMETHING? Nothing will get better until YOU do things to make them better. So, either be an adult, and WORK to make your life better, kill yourself, or just sit helplessly crying in your beer while other people find ways to live. Now, I'll grant that the easiest course is to commit suicide, and the next easiest is to sit crying about how bad things are- life was never meant to be "easy", and it never has been. But, for those willing to TRY, life is good. Your life, your choice.

NO. you need to get a grip.. Just because you lost your job and made a mistake by slapping your wife, is no reason to give up on your entire life.. I hope that slap was a first and last and as to the job, start looking for a new one..If you feel too depressed, see a doctor and he may suggest meds for awhile and counceling. There are thousands of people or more out of work for one reason or another.. It's not the end of the world.. If your depression is the reason, then you need to find out what is really at the root and take the bull by the horns. You have many resources to help you get back on your feet from depression and the job loss. Also make amends to your wife for the slap and never let it happen again.. She can be a big help to you if you let her into your head and she knows how bad you feel. Suicide is a permanent solution to problems and there's no changing your mind when your dead.. It's also a cop out..Get the help and live a long happy life after you get back on track.. Best of Luck.. :-)

Losing your job is no big deal. the way i see it, you can get another job but u cant replace your wife. First thing, apologise to your wife. Dont make the decision about your marriage because your wife has a say too. You cant just give up your marriage because you've lost your job. Your meant to be together through good times and bad. Really you need to talk to someone and stop taking your anger out on your wife. Be positive, problems come and go!

You must see a doctor, preferably a psychologist and find out why you are so depressed. Thinking about suicide is not a normal response to difficulties. Talk with your wife and try to be more open with what is bothering you. But deciding that you no longer need to live is not the answer. Please call for some help. There is always a better way.

You need help, your life is going out of control---and there is never any situation worth taking your life. Please see a doctor , maybe a short term anti depressant will help---and you need the help of a counselor --to help you deal with job loss and feeling like failure.
You are here for a reason, God does not make mistakes--you are His image . You and your wife need to become closer than you ever have been---you need each other---get personal help for yourself.....just hang on, and things will turn a corner...but you need to reach out for help....dont wait , do it now.

You need to seek help. Find a crises center to talk to. Don't turn on your wife! Turn to your wife! This is something that you both can get through together. Church can't hurt. Killing yourself is a permanent solution to a temporary problem and should not ever be an option.

no, no, no!!! it's the depression talking, not you. you are human, make and consequently make mistakes. hitting your wife is not good, but right now you have to deal with your suicidal thoughts. call the National Suicide Hotline immediately... 1-800-784-2433. things can get better, you just have to hang in there. i know, i've had similar thougths when my father was murdered a few years ago. hang in there... please!

Is your description acute depression, dysthymia or something more violent? It may be short-term or long-term. Read up on Wikipedia, know yourself more, then seek professional help. Changes are needed; you have major decisions to make.

See a doctor. Seek counseling. Let your family know what's going on so that you can get their support.
