I have Thought About Suicide
 

I have thought about it, because I have no friends and no to do anything with, Yes, I believe in GOD, but I can't go do things with him. I've thought of several ways to do it.

Jennifer, Jennifer -- are you still here?

Jennifer - in the Sticky threads above there are some things that I know can help you right now ..... please read them now, OK?

I sure wish you'd talk to me. I sent you a PM and I see you haven't read it yet. Your name is still showing here. Please ..........

That you came here to talk about it is a great thing ((Jennifer)). Try to thing about other things for now. There are lots of good people here who do care, even if we can't physically be there for you.

Tonight, go to bed and try to think of at least a couple good things from your day, no matter how small. And think of the good over and over until you go to sleep. And come back and you will see how many people really do care.

If you are seriously struggling, call someone. There are some stickied posts at the top of this forum with contacts and good resources.

Also read some of the posts and you will see how many caring people are here who will respond.

Hugs and rest.

Late at night things can always look worse than they do in the morning light, so hang in there with us.

Jennifer, I think you're still here but I don't know if you've read this so I copied it to paste here for you. I hope it helps.

What to do if you are alone and thinking about suicide.

---------------------------------------------

Sit down and breathe deeply. Breathe deeply again and again.

Turn on the lights or open a door or window.

Pick up the phone and call a friend, even if you have to call collect. Talk to the operator
if you don't have strength to dial the number.

Say your name out loud. Say your friends' names out loud. Repeat and combine these
names with your name.

Cry, even if it means weeping bitterly. Scream; "God, why am I in such despair? Why
did you do this to me? Tell me why."

Pray. Say: "God, help me. Please give me a reason to live."

Touch yourself. Feel the rapid beating of your heart.

Turn on the television, radio, or stereo.

Close your eyes and think about The Wizard of Oz or chocolate ice cream or giraffes.

Get out a photo album and look at the pictures of your family and friends.

If you have a pet, pick it up and hold it tightly.

When you have the strength, get out from where you are. Go to the movies.
Go to the shopping mall. Go to a neighbor's or a friend's house. If you
are afraid to drive, run as fast as you can for as long as you can.

Get yourself to where there are people.

I'm old and really exhausted so I need to get some sleep. I hope you will too and that I will see you when I check in tomorrow. Hugs and goodnight until tomorrow.
