God loves you! Get help immediately call 911. You’ll thank yourself later.

I just had a friend and colleague kill himself this past Monday. He left a wife, kids, and a whole bunch of friends without him. Suicide might be your way out, but it is selfish since so many others need you.

There are no pros. Only cons.

Your husband needs you. Be there for him. Your lab needs you, too. Don’t let them down...

Don’t do it, for the sake of your children. It will ruin their lives.

This is a transient feeling, but not a transient issue. My advice is to get help asap. Talk to someone who can help, whether it is a counselor or a hotline or someone else. Call someone. Be connected. You may think you don’t want to ask for help, but this post is a request for help. Don’t take it lightly.

Don’t do it! The problems you cited are just temporary. Plenty of church groups that would love to come out and fix up your back wall. Call for help immediately.

I recommend that you start with Prayer.

Ask God to give you the strength to provide the help you and your family need.

Your body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit and it belongs to God.

It is not yours to destroy.

Do not lose faith and pray for God’s will.

I hope you call a suicide hot-line, those people are trained to help people like you. Meanwhile, I will pray for you. You cannot bear what your life has become, but you will if you let Christ help you. May His love envelop you and support you and may His grace manifest itself in your weakness. I pray this in Jesus Holy name. Amen!

If you want to FReep mail me, I will love to chat with you for as long as you need it.

You just step back, take a breath and then try to realize that is the most precious gift you’ve ever been given...and then do it again.

And if that doesn’t work call a suicide prevention line.

And you seem from those few lines like someone who is quite giving, I’d like to think that you wouldn’t want your final legacy to be one of an incomprehensibly selfish act.

Get help. Call a crisis line. Call 911. Go to a mental health facility. Suicide is not the answer.

If you can’t live for yourself, live for them. You are wanted and needed, and deep down, you know it.

We are mostly Christian at Freerepublic. Suicide is a sin that can keep you from heaven. If you aren’t Christian then I think you should look at the evidence for it. I think Jesus can keep you safe.

We have all felt this way and thank God we are still here to help you as you will someday help others.

Nighttime is a time for sad thoughts. In the morning there will be new possibilities.

We need you to stay, think of how your lab needs you.

Get a good night’s rest and if you still feel this sad reach out for help to the police or a suicide hotline. You are too valuable to lose. Many many people will want to help you get through this.

A friend’s wife killed herself and destroyed his life and his mind. I hate her.

Never give up hope. Rely on family and friends. Keep your dog with you; you’ll feel better for it. Pray. And don’t forget that you have a lot of friends who care about you, right here.

All is well. You are amazing and all is well. You are not a teenager any more and that’s as it should be.

Instead, you are the most grown up you have ever been.

Just read your own encouragements to others that you yourself wrote, have some tea, think about the good things.

Prayers are out for you and yours.

try to find helpful person(s) asap

church, synagogue, some sort of good counselor/psychologist..
(I think Canada Health has them)

but call local church or synagogues of your choice, reputable ones, and ask for the clergy and just say its urgent or an ‘emergency situation’ if you have to ... but get through to someone(s) who will be helpful for you

we all go through things like this.!!!! and we do get through them, believe it or not!!!!!!!!

but it is so much easier if you have somebody supportive to be there to chat with you, also .... second idea...
this may sound silly... but please listen...

if you really can’t do anything about the problems tonight or tomorrow..... then please also find some activities you enjoy doing (preferably with other good people) but find some activities you like! just temporarily....
but it is helpful, very helpful...especially if you can’t do anything about the problems just now.....to get your mind involved in something more pleasant, even though I admit it is a temporary diversion and all that... .it HELPS!

make those calls first, please, and if a couple can’t help or don’t care, KEEP CALLING until you find someone responsible who can show you some support, companionship, and possibly even a little practical assistance

please get to it.
now.
please.
thanks

Please permit me to make a few points. First, your lab Ellie needs you, perhaps much more than you know. And there are people who need you, also perhaps much more than you know.

But there is also something else to consider. A living human being is a reservoir of value, much like money in the bank. There is so much good that you can do, many people that you can help. Volunteering at a soup kitchen, reading to lonely old folks at a retirement home, etc.

Turning your back to all that is like turning your back on found money while there are poor people who desperately need that money. Your life has great value. Live for those people who need you!
