praying for you. Please find someone to talk to.

Praying for you. Please get help. If you can't feel God, imagine Christ holding you and telling you "I will never let you go", and let His love in. It's what I do when I can't see anything else clearly, I focus on the goodness of Christ. God bless you dear brother.

I've been far down the path of suicide. Hope is real and it will get you out if you let it take you. Never forget that.

I am praying for you.

I've been there. Tomorrow is another day. Hang on because it will pass with time. God loves you! Think on positive things, think on Jesus. There is no problem that can't be solved. Replace your thoughts with positives in your life. Keep your eyes on God, he has his on you.
As someone suggested, find someone to talk to.
God bless you and keep you!

Have you seen a therapist?

If so, are you following the treatment plan, including necessary meds, set up for you?

Take your meds.

Your response is dehumanizing. Does the mind belong to psychiatry and psychiatrists, or to God? Medication will heal the mind, albeit with a man-made solution, but it will not mend the Spirit, and it is very important to differentiate between the two and know which one is superior. Unless we wish to make psychiatry an idol.

I've been in these forums enough to come to see that in this particular forum generally speaking people posting as the OP has generally have a history already. My post was meant as a reminder not to demoralize. If unacquainted people to this problem suddenly feel suicidal it goes more like "I don't know what has come over me" and they post in places like Christian advice. Thanks for pointing out my flaw but it was merely meant as a reminder if they had not taken the meds.

I've learned from experience both with myself and others that the suicidally depressed are simultaneously some of the farthest from God's Light and the most yearning of God's Light, even if they don't realize it yet. I worry about them getting discouraged; there's a degree of humbleness in genuine depression that if nurtured can allow something good to come out of it. I'm glad you remind them. I'm fairly new here and I'm taking a bit of today to get acquainted.

I've come in here in the past and given lengthy spiritual advice and today others already covered some of that. At first I would not realize even what forum I was in.

Welcome aboard !

Will pray, Anx. What helps me are brief, simple prayers, that can be repeated quietly.

"Jesus, King of Love, I trust in Your Merciful Goodness", has helped me a lot. Brings the mind off of self and pain, and back on to Christ.

Please don't feel bad. No matter who you are, where you're at in life, or what you do or don't do for a living, God has called you to love and be loved by Him, and follow Christ. You can do that where you are.

I am taking my meds. I just get bouts of depression now and again.

So do I. Hang on, friend. Your struggles are not all that unusual. Many of us have them, too.

I saw a therapist about 10 years ago, and was under a Psychiatrist for a long time, but this has all dried up. I do however still take my meds.

A meditation which helps me, is to picture Christ, crucified, in my heart. Picture His Wounds, His Face, His Love. In the Catholic Church, we have a devotion to His Heart as the fountain of God's merciful and sacrificing Love. Focusing on Christ, His Love, His Sacrifice, gives me courage to love Him back, carry on, and keep going. Christ is worth it. And Heaven will be worth it, too.

Same here my friend. Its a horrible ride of high and low waves, mountains and valleys, ups and downs.

Offer up your suffering to God for others. Trust in God whatever you go through.

God bless and protect you
