Suicide: Finding it hard to lose someone by suicide

Well I have suffered from depression and suicide attempts. I can tell you that I didn't want to die I just wanted the emotional pain to stop. There's nothing my family could of done to stop me. It was my choice. When you are that depressed you are not thinking clearly. You are in the dark and can't find your way out. I don't want you to feel guilty, it's ok and normal and perfectly understandable. I hope this helps. I hope you can find peace i have no doubt your son loved you getting much. Ultimately I decided to save myself. I didn't want to die. I received therapy and it's taken years to build my life back to where I can feel hopeful but it tore my family apart and I've lost relationships so it still affects my life. Hope you can find comfort and peace

Hello suscros68
I can agree with you that when you are depressed you are not thinking clearly. I have suffered from depression that was greatly worsened by nearly becoming homeless and needing to move into an unrenovated ,small apartment after living in a spacious, gorgeous. one. When thinking how the previous management made me move with the way it was illegally taking advantage of my penny and the mess I was in I attempted to commit suicide. I stopped myself. I too did not want to die. I just wanted the emotional pain to stop. I had no means of support like family or friends to help. I have not been able to share this with a therapist and I have been without a therapist for months because of the runaround I have been given by my insurance company in finding a counselor. .
Georgette I wish you peace and consolation in the loss of your son.
