Why don't more people kill themselves?

| I don't blame you, OP. I often feel the same way. Work, family, doing EVERYTHING all the damn time. My house is a mess. I'm always forgetting to turn in some flipping form at my kids' school. Work stress. You are so not alone! It is hard. I agree with the previous posters -- find a shrink, get some medication, talk to someone. I need to get back on my medication again as well. For me, Spring is the worst time, not the best. I don't know why exactly, but it always has been. Good luck! |

Thank you for all the thoughtful responses. Honestly though, 22:00, 14:58, and 16:02 - not helpful. It's hard to understand why any of you would write that to someone having suicidal thoughts. Even on a board full of snarkiness.
I am feeling a little better today and have been researching a couple different therapists, looking at their websites, and will pick one this week and make an appointment. I've been putting it off too long. I do not feel suicidal today and it's scary to me that I was thinking that way last night. |

One day when I left the house for work one morning, my DH gave me a kiss as I was leaving and said see you in a few years.
He thought I would get in my car and just drive and drive and drive, never to return. That sounded simply decadent and wonderful at the moment. |

| I am so happy to hear that OP. I've been thinking of you today and wishing you nothing but a path of healing and happiness in your future. You can do it. You really really can. |

OMG - where do you live? Someone just fell/jumped from a balcony this morning right next door to my work! Some of my corworkers saw the man when the police were taking pictures. It's horribly tragic. Not a way to fix any problems. |

There was someone who apparently jumped in Ballston -- Randolph Towers. |

This is outstanding. I thought the same as OP after a failed interview last week. Now I feel stupid for having felt that way. |

Years ago, I was in a meeting with a psychiatrist for work. We were talking about his evaluation of my client. As a way of making casual conversation when we were waiting for an elevator, he said that, in his experience, the only patients he had that he could not help were the children of parents who committed suicide. That stuck with me for years through some very dark times, and was sometimes the only think that kept me from doing it.
The dark times seem to have passed for me. I hope they pass for you soon, too, OP. |

Yup - I work in the building right next door. My coworkers called me about what happened and then an ALL HANDS went out a little while later. |
