I thank God that I have a master plan for creating success in life. Because without that, life would be hell and I'd be very depressed.

Optimism is the first defense against depression. Have a belief in yourself, your future, and in your God.

After that, have a plan. Create one, a BIG one. Make sure it addresses your needs, whether they be for yourself or family, and that your financial needs are covered.

Finally, if you are ever thinking of suicide, get help immediately and acknowledge that you are experiencing a medical emergency. Thoughts of violence-toward-self and violence-toward-others might be related; who can know. So, if things are so serious that life itself is at stake, do yourself and friends a favor and get help.
