Hi Denise...I'm Lori but people call me Ducky. Nice to meet you. Here's the place to talk if you feel you need to talk, or laugh when you can. Or both, which is what happens most often. Hope to see you about!

yes My Friend has come to say hi to my great caring understanding supportive family. I am so glad you dug up the courage to stop in and I am so proud of you Denise,I know how hard it was but you did it and you did just fine.
Bizi is my hero who helped me help my best most closet friend in the whole wide world. And ducky is such a kind helpful sos sister .

There is allot of great info at the top of this forum that you should read and try to take in. but not all at once just a little at a time.

Some of us have lost a loved one / a family member to suicide and others like myself have survived attempts of suicide. and or lost a friend to suicide. In my case more then one friend :(

My sister Koala will be around later and the rest will come along soon. You will see it is just like I said you will be wraped in support and caring with just those few words you have posted.

Keep fighting and reaching and ALWAYS know we are here to listen ,we care and try to give support as best we can.

Denise :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: Thank you for coming and giving this a try. You are brave and still have fight in you I know you want to live I can see it I can hear it and I can feel it!! So dose God.

I will be around here and I know others will be coming here also to say hi and welcome you. In the meantime just check out some of the info at the top of this page.
Hugs and prayers on you Denise.

I truly understand where you are... I also have numerous attempts.

I find great comfort here!! So many wonderful and caring people here have helped me in ways that I can't even begin to thank them for....

Hello Denise. I really am so pleased that you've come over to SOS where we can look after you and hopefully convince you that you're a member of our family now.

I've been following your posts with interest and am so thrilled to read that you're getting the treatment that hopefully will see an end to the bad times that you've been through lately.

You are so very welcome here in this forum Denise, and I hope that you'll eventually feel as safe as we do now.

Hi Denise and welcome to S.O.S.

You're going to fit right in here because we take turns holding each other up when we feel we're going to fall. It's a daily struggle isn't it!!

Remember that you are fighting for your life and I'm so glad for your sons sake that you are trying so hard. I remember that your husband thinks you are the strongest woman he knows and having his support is so critical in your recovering. I understand that you don't feel that way but it will get better. :hug:

I know what suicide does to a family..we lost our only son in Jan of 90 and it changed our family forever. It's a legacy you don't want to leave with the people you love.

Denise, only try to do one day, maybe one hour at a time and remember that it's ok, it's important, to talk about what you are feeling...we do "get it". :grouphug:

:hug: i'm so glad you posted denise.

welcome. :hug:

Denise
 

I'm so glad that you are here. You made it to the right place. You are safe here,and among people who understand,and monitor it allot. Thank you so much for coming here.You can draw strength here. Thank goodness your here. Brokenfriend:hug:

:bump::grouphug:
just bumping a couple things

Hi Denise and welcome. :hug:

You have definitely made the right move!
welcome to our safe haven!

xooxxo :sing: Addy

Welcome Denise :hug::hug:

It is so hard isn't it? This is very hard for me to reply to as I recently lost my Dad to suicide in March. I hope you will find the love and compassion I have here. Like BMW said, many of us, including myself have had thoughts or have attempted to take our lives. I haven't followed your story, but it is obvious you must be in great pain, and I am truly sorry for that. But I am so grateful you have come here! Your courage is amazing, let us help you fight:hug::hug:

thanks for all your love and support everyone. when i went for my ect treatment yesterday the dr wanted to have me hospitalized. i dont think i will be her much longer i have never felt so sick before physically and mentally even when the 4 times i have tried to kill myself the last time was the worst i only had a 25% chance to live when i was on the resperator in icu so each time it gets worse i think i will succeeded this time

I am thankful that you are being hospitalized.

:smileypray:

I AM THANKFUL YOU ARE STILL ALIVE. And glad you reached out and the doc wants you in hosp where you can get help and support and keep fighting to stay alive!!!!!!
You will be held in our prayers and well wishes! not forgotten in the least. Please when you can post and let us know how you are! and bring these with you my friend :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:
:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

I echo what the others have said.

I am thankful you are still alive. I am thankful you're going to hospital. I am thankful you are talking to us. I am thankful you allow us to support you during this tough time in your life. I am thankful you are a part of our family.

Denise. Don't give up!!!
 

Go to the hospital. You don't want to die. So many people love you. Your Kids,your husband,us,others all around you. I know that you are in pain,but hang on. Hold on to everything that you can think of. I know that you are tired of it all,but hold on to us,and we are holding on to you desperately. Love never fails,never...never. Hold on. You can hold on. You will strengthen. I'm holding your hand. My hand won't let go. BF:hug::hug::hug::grouphug:

Denise, I am so deeply sorry you are in so much pain. You know the ironic thing is I have had training in the past on suicide prevention, for part of my training to be a support group leader for my disease. yet ALL of that went out the window the day my Dad took his life.

I no longer know what is right and what is wrong to say to someone that is feeling as you are. I don't believe in signs any more, my Dad gave me none. My whole belief system is gone. All I can now do is speak from the heart and hope I do more good than harm.

You are talking to us, keep talking, keep sharing, we DO care. I wont pretend to know how you feel, I can't possibly know. I do however know how it feels to hurts so horribly that you just don’t think you can stay here one more second. Alffe has said something that is very true for me as well. When our loved ones took their lives, they took away that out for us. As knowing the unbearable pain their suicide caused us, we could never hurt our loved ones in this way. That reason alone is what kept me here the days following my Dad’s suicide.

This is so very hard for me to write to you, as I would have given ANYTHING to have helped my Dad. I would have given him my life, if it could have spared his pain, and now ...me this pain. I read your post and the first thing I thought was..... if my Dad posted on a board like this, what would people have said to him?
I am going to say to you, what I would have wished for someone to say to my Dad.

You are loved greatly. More than you can possibly truly know.

Your life, your love, is the single most important thing in this world to someone.

They need you desperately.

If you are hurting, talk to those who love you, share your pain.

Give them a chance to help you. They would do anything to keep you here to love.

I know you must be hurting beyond belief to be thinking about ending it all,
but please know that suicide is a permanent solution, to a temporary problem.

Keep trying! Keep fighting! Please, PLEASE…… don't go......don't go

Denise, keep fighting!! Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is a quiet voice at the end of the day saying ' I will try again tomorrow'
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers~ Nikki
