I have very simple question to you that when was in life you thought you have lost the battle of life and there is no hope . For me when I was 18 and my girlfriend , first girlfriend cheated me . I was thinking about suicide all the time and was very depressed. I was very clear that I have lost my way to happiness and now should commit suicide.

I have always been a little on the "depressed" side. I had a really bad childhood and my parents weren't very good at being parents. I was raped when I was 13 years old and could tell no one. I told my sister and she called me a wh@re. I didn't know what to do with myself, being 13, so I tried to take a bunch of pills. It really didn't work, I ended up throwing up, and needless to say I am still here. I normally don't talk about this to anyone, but you caught me on a strange day I guess. I'm glad it didn't work, because now I am married to an awesome man, without whom I would probably still be depressed. I have 2 beautiful little boys and my own "family" now is one I had always dreamed about.

Oh misheleen, I'm sorry to hear about your painful past. Rape is an ugly thing. I'm glad you have the courage to face it. I'm doubly glad you found your new family. You deserved it.

drillerswife, I know all too well your feelings and hope you do get the help you seek. I have come to terms with certain things in my past, and although I am not the happiest, most well adjusted person on the block every day, I can get through my daily life and enjoy the life I do have now. Anytime you need to talk, feel free to PM me, I have been down that road and know sometimes it easier when you're not alone !!

I had a hard troubles in my life and painfull losts...Also disappointments in live...but even it was tooo tragic moment, never mind about the end of hopes came to my head...Maybe I am strongly balanced inside, but but also the same time unmanly to lay my hand on myself. It is my credo in life - never lose hope. And in difficult moments I always remeber one arabic proverb: "the darkest hour come before daybreak".

scorpiostar, I am very happy to hear you are able to overcome your troubles. But for some people the troubles sometimes are too much to bear. And with no one to help you or talk to, it can be all too much. I don't advocate harming ones self, but I don't think it should be that easy to judge those who have thought of it.

the first time that i ever thaught of killing myself is last week. we are going through a lot at work right now. i have an ex that will not leave me alone. he comes over when he wants something and then goes to his so called girlfriend that he says he does not have. i have a man that i love to go out with and he came over to get what he wants and then he goes home the next morning. i asked him when will i see him agian and he said he did not know when i would see him agian he said that he does not know when because he is sopsaly seeing someone and everything els. i was so mad and upset at myself that i just wanted to end my life so much that it took my best friend had to come over and sit with me and watch me so i would not do anything to myself.

I was also cheated on. A guy who was younger than me liked me so I went out with him. Apparently, he liked every girl so he cheated on me. He denied it, but Ic ould tell he cheated by the way he treated me. I was depressed for months. I thought no one else would date me sinc eI was the ugly one of my school. Months later, I got engaged and a few years after I am getting ready to get married.

In regards to my life when I thought that I would not go on was when I had my third son, during the delivery of him and at the hospital they nearly lost not only me but my son as well. It was really dreadful and I stayed in intensive care for 3 days and they never knew if I was going to recover or not, and when I came back to them they all cried as they knew me for many years before that.

Life, is such an important gift of GOD. Imagine what life is, what all it gave, parents, family,friends, hopes, dreams, everything and what all it can take. Well, I am a very sensitive person, so whenever I am hurt I really feel bad and its not tough for me to think that this is the end. But its okay. I mean everyone feels that way, isnt it? I also feel, whenever I make a big mistake, or whenever I hurt someone or when I want something I cannot get or achieve and specially when I am misunderstood.

i am not even sure if if i should tell this anyway since so many people shared their experience i may tell as well....i felt really hopeless when the guy whom i had a major crush on got married! i was depressed for so long i was 17 at that time so i didnot tell him my love b'cos he was from a different religion so i always fantaised that if we both to be togther then we got to 'run away' from home so i was busy waiting to be 18 so no one 'separate' us and the next thing i know he is getting married! LOL now when i think of it i laugh but at that time i was depressed enough to commit sucide! Anyway my friends talked me out of it :)

I can say many times I felt like this. Even now today I feel like that because of everything that is going on in my life I feel like running and not looking back.

Right now i am in the same situation of losing hopes to live. Being cheated by my close friends and my love. I am now waiting for my H1B visa to USA for the past 1 and half years and i don't have a clear idea why they have withheld my application, i am not supposed to contact them for any information on this. I am unable to get a job here though i have some experience working earlier. Its really hard for me to get a job and see my parents happy, on the other hand my visa is a big problem and i am running into huge debts. My parents they have their own problems and they are expecting me to settle down and help them which is not that easy as i am in such kind of situation. With all the troubles i feel like my life is waste and i do think what purpose i am still living. I question myself 1000 times a day but i don't have an answer for that. I can't die cause this is not my own life there are many people who are living for me. I have no clue where my life is heading but all i know is i am in depression.
