I was the same way back in October 2021; numerous health problems just wore me down to the point where I was maybe moments from taking a boxcutter to both my wrists.
*hugs @MamaFrankie*Thankfully, I was still cognizant enough of the world to call 911 and ask for help; spent eight days in the hospital and have been slowly but steadily righting myself back up. I take meds for the depression, have therapy for my legs couple times a week, get out and about more (far less of a recluse as I used to be) and even started going back to church regularly.
Its' a struggle, depression...just remember, Frankie: you ever need a shoulder to cry on or lean on, we're all here for you, alright?
Thank you, Webster. This forum is shaping up to be brilliant. There is no 'playground mentality', just loads of respect and fun.

when I got out of the military I did. In fact while I was in I tried to hang myself and sought help after it failed. I was on suicide watch for 3 days and then in therapy up until I got out.
After that all of the anxiety, ptsd, depression and the such started wearing down on my and I have contemplated suicide more than once a year over the last 8 years or so. Until started going to therapy again about 6 months ago.
Now I’m on the road to recovery. Slowly but surely

*hugs, hugs & more hugs*
Glad you're on the road to recovery!
Just because I have a curious brain, did trying to hang yourself hurt pretty bad? Did the rope snap?
Not gonna lie, wasn't expecting a 100% yes on the poll results.
I've been depressed to some degree for at least a decade and I've definitely had suicidal thoughts cross my mind, but more passive ones. I've never come close to actually ever doing anything about it. I finally long overdue got on some anti-depressants last year though.

It doesn't matter who the president is, my daily normal life is unaffected by who is president.
I think its a pretty normal thought to have. People who actually act on it are in the minority.
Wasn't talking about you. Some people got really upset and angry when he became President.
Sure, some people were but its usually just people making noise online. In their offline lives they probably just lived life as normal.

C'mon, hug it out guys....
I went through the exact same thing as a teenager! lol. I usually just think, oh there's still so much great stuff (especially music) out there I haven't seen/listened to yet...
