Suicide Prevention Awareness Month · 5:52pm Sep 2nd, 2017
You read that right. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. If ANY of you out there are reading this, know that if you are feelin' like you want to end it all (trust me, I've been there a lot more often than I like to admit) YOU ARRE NOT ALONE!! My friends...please know that suicide is never the answer! What would it accomplish? Sure the pain you feel will end but what of your family and friends? The pain will be near tortuous on them if you decide to off yourself! Know that despite the hardships in life, there is always someone looking out for you! To emphasize my point further, allow me to leave a song and information on how you can get professional help from a specialist and not a random woman on the internet. With that I say Stay Strong my friends:

I think it is great that you made this post. :)
While I understand what you are saying, not everyone has family and friends to turn to for help. Its easy to say there is always someone looking out for you but the reality is that not everyone who is suicidal has that privilege. The sad truth is that most people don't want to deal with people who suffer from depression because its too much negativity for them to deal with. Hell, even professionals don't always know what exactly to do because depression is different for everyone. My family doesn't get it and they won't even try to understand it because it is too much for them to deal with.
Also, that message about "Thinking about how it will affect others" does not help. It makes us feel even more guilty for having suicidal thoughts and it makes the whole thing even harder to deal with because we don't want to have those thoughts but our chemically unbalanced brains makes it really hard not to have those thoughts. I deal with depression on my own because it seems like no one truely understands or really wants to take the time to deal with me. Sympathetic words can only do so much IMO.
Like I said I understand where you are coming from and I appreciate you reaching out to people who suffer from suicidal thoughts and I am glad you are doing okay! I just had to get that off my chest because its something I have been holding in for quite while now.
4655924 Yes.
4655975 Though, admittedly I could've worded it a tad bit better, my point still gets across.

4656170 Well, it's an important issue that needed to be adressed.
4656199 It is indeed.
4656222 And one that, I wish didn't happen all around the world. Practically every day.
4656244 I wish the same thing. It's very sad. :(
4656413 As sad as it is (and as rare that it is that I go into serious topics), these things do happen.
4656553 Yes, unfortunately it does. I have depression, social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, agoraphobia, anemia, and a few other emotional, physical, and mental disorders. So I've dealt with these feelings a lot myself.
4656625 I get it! I suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder, OCD as well as Major Depressive Disorder w/psychotic features. So...yeah I've had these thoughts frequently.
4656699 I can definitely relate, my friend. I am always here if you need someone to talk to.
4656711 Of course, as am I for you my friend.
4656717 Aww, thank you so much.
4656742 But of course! I am anything if not an excellent listener (which is Ironic considering i'm a bit of a chatterbox)!
4656747 Hurray! That is a good skill to have,
4657102 Which? The Good listener or the chatterbox?
4657192 Both.
4657195 I figured on both! 😂
4657254 Hurray!
