It will never happen. You can't be replaced or upgraded. |

Please get help. I say this as someone who has been suicidal. Get a physical. It could be something easily fixed like thyroid. Something like that can make "regular" depression seem insurmountable.
But your death at your own hand will screw your kids up for life. I know. I came home from college one day to find my father dead from a gunshot wound to his head. Our dogs were circling his body, making an odd howling sound that still makes me ill to think about. It's been more than 20 years now, but I still can't handle that nightmare. Oh and it's not like my mom found someone else. I've been taking care of her since then. She is all but gone mentally. |

Please don't kill yourself.

| No. Having known sisters whose mom did this -- and she also wrote them such a letter -- i see that the pain that the mom's suicide caused has NEVER gone away. It's now almost 30 years later and my friend feels it every day, at every important moment in her life and every time she feels happy or sad. Please don't. |

I would never let my kids find me like that. I have a plan to do it elsewhere. I have made financial arrangements for them. I've done everything I can.
I've been on just about every drug out there. No help. The therapists I saw were well-qualified and well-meaning. Exercise is what got me injured. All the kings horses and all the kings men... You're right. DCUM is not the place for this. I apologize. Signing off. |

| Don't do it OP. You want help so that's why you came here. Otherwise you would have just done it. Only you can find your way out of the darkness but there is a light. Find the inner strength to work towards it. It won't be easy. But nothing good is ever easy. I wish you peace OP. |

No, no you haven't. You just feel like this now but you truly haven't exhausted every possible solution. If I were in your shoes I would have myself committed. I actually have thought about doing it in the past when I wanted to harm myself. I have also been in the position of having to consider committed one of my children. Hardest decision of my life but I know that there are times when we can't solve our problems on our own and that round the clock care is often the best solution. |

O.P money means nothing to your children without your love.
Please consider prayer there is so much peace in talking to Jesus.I have been in your situation but I started to have faith and pray by myself and it worked. Please talk to Jesus, he listens and answers all our prayers. I hope you are still hanging in there so you can read this. |

Op I hope you are still reading this thread. You are loved and your life is worth living. I tried to kill myself multiple times about 10 years ago. Half hearted attempts that failed. It took me years to recover from my depression. I hated nearly every minute of the dozens of paths I had to take to recover. But it was worth it.
I share this only so you know you are not alone. Of course your pain is different than mine. But i promise you it will get better. Life, your family, it is worth it. Please call someone. Please do not take your life. |

| OP, I know it really feels as though this moment and mood is going to last forever. But, please believe me when I tell this period of your life can and will shift to a better place. I don't know you personally, but I bet anyone with as much sensitivity as you express in your post has helped others before. And that the lives of those you have unknowingly helped in the world will be lessened by your absence. Think of one small thing that you can do to change your life...and do it. The next day try to do a little more. It will get better. Don't quit. |

| No matter what you say in a letter, your children will always think it is their fault, and they will miss you every day. Losing you would haunt them forever. Please, please try again to see a therapist. |

OP, Please, please try again.
Please. |

| I'd you hate your job, I'd work on finding a new one. Quality time with DH? Take a vacation with him. Chronic pain - get a massage, acupuncture, or restorative yoga. Life feels meaningless? Volunteer at a shelter for those less fortunate than you. There's a million things you can try before robbing your family forever. A letter is not a replacement for a mother. |

OP, I hope you are still reading this - look at all these people who care about you & your family.
Killing yourself will ruin your children's lives. Children whose parent kills herself are 3 times more likely to commit suicide themselves. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/04/health/research/04risk.html My sister tried to kill herself a few months ago. I was with her 11-year-old child as we tried to find her (and, yes, she went somewhere else so her child wouldn't find her) and then afterwards as she was in the hospital recovering. Her child was devastated and inconsolable when we couldn't find her and thought she was dead - please don't do that to your children. Please tell someone you know and let them help you. Don't do it for yourself - do it for your children. |

| If you are not Christian please do not be offended by the comments of the above pp referring to Jesus. The main thing is to remember that even for atheists, there is a mathematical rationale to the concept that we as humans are merely random actors, yet our reactions have consequence. Just not knowing what the horrible consequence of your suicide might be to future generations can be rationale enough to go on living and trying every day. |
