Why is it that I think thru a thought of suicide? I know what it would to to my adult children,and my grandchildren. I truly think that they will get over it, in time. I am so tired of struggling. I've lost my home, my health, my brothers make no contact with me even when I reach out. I am on depression and panic attack meds. I am 53, not overweight. As my daughter told me, "get over with the pity party"

The thoughts, however, may come and go. I'm no longer actually considering suicide, though I think about it often. Are you going to therapy? I have found it to be very helpful. If you can find a group intensive outpatient therapy, that is a really wonderful setting for learning to cope with these thoughts and feelings. As you have depression, the comment to "get over with the pity party" shows lack of understanding of depression. It is often a chemical imbalance. You can't help it happening except by having the right meds and the right therapy. Another thing to consider is a support group. Go to DBSA {dot} com to find a depression support group near you. They have great peer run groups.
I hope that helps. [ blwinteler's advice column | Ask blwinteler A Question ]
