Am I Worth It?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been diagnosed as bipolar a few years ago. I am currently going through a pretty nasty divorce the past 2 years, have been dating a great guy for just over a year who I love with every inch of me. I have a high stress job in the medical field, but work freelance- no work, no pay. I have been planning to commit suicide as soon as my divorce is over though, for several reasons: 1) I am terrified of losing my current partner as he is 16 years my senior, and sometimes it feels like he is only… read more

The only person can help you is you. You are a strong individual others here are right focus on the positive. Answers take time some we may not like example being put in the friend zone for the one person you told you have a crush on since you were kids. But. Because of the bad boys she dated doesn't want to get hurt. But positive I broke that chain and one less,thing keeping me down. Your taking the right steps just by reaching out here. Sometimes family can help.

No, this doesn't make you a bad person. I have been very suicidal in my past. I got close committing my goal 2 times my sister stop it. Remember you have loved ones besides the man you are hurting for. I don't know what State you live in but I live in Oklahoma and they have programs to help people with different problems. Prayer helped me through my suicidal thoughts, attempts even if it was not me doing the praying all the time. It was other people at first I was to busy mess up and mad. I hope this helped you

No I am sorry I do not agree with , the only person who can help you is you. Sometimes we can get so mentally sick that helping ourself isn't an option,and we need someone who can step in and help us till we get able to help ourself.Depression kills. It ruins lives, family, friends etc. It can take away everything and strip you of your self esteem and make you believe you are doing everybody a favor if you commit suicide. Thats when you run as fast as you can go and get help. I tried suicide this past year. I ended up in a mental hospital for about 2 weeks. I appreciate all the family that stood behind me.My husband could see how sick I was getting and begged me to get help. But , it took something drastic to take it out of my hands for awhile and put myself in a place where someone could help me until I could get some better. Now,I am scared I will get sick again, and not even realize it. Thats why I am in counseling, journal, and on meds. GET HELP.. if you have a plan to commit suicide, don't wait, run to the nearest er or where you can find the help you need. Divorce is scary, life is hard, and sometimes the best we can do isn't good enough. Remember you are worth saving, God has a purpose for your life.

I am independent and alone. Sometimes I am lonely. I think about suicide a lot. I just want these feelings and lack of feelings to go away. I have grown kids, my parents are still with us and I can’t end my life because of what it would do to them.
I’ve seen a friend’s family devastated by a suicide.
Sometimes I am very resentful towards my family because of this huge responsibility.

I to struggle with suicide. I have thoughts but with no plan of action. The reason I dont go to the plan is because of my 3 kids that I have here with me. If you can see if one of your local church's have a program called celebrate recovery. This program is like a rehab but it is spiritual and you can go there for many reasons. This program has helped me alot.
