i read some posts on suicide and i saw one for christian19, i don't know if she did kill herself or not but my fate might be the same cause i just wake up wanting to die and i've thought of ways to kill myself. i'm getting counseling right npw but the psychologist wants to put me on some different meds cause the ones i was on aren't really working like they should anymore. my depression is no longer there but the thoughts of suicide are still there and i'm scared. if my life doesn't improve (get better) by nov 4 this year i will kill myself. the way things are going now maybe sooner. my husband has a gun but it is not here now but when it comes back i want to shoot myself with it or drown myself or use a hose to the exaust pipe of the car or lie down on some tracks and well die. i don't know what to do and i feel i have no reason to live. you can pm or email or use a post to respond. i need help soon. april
 
I do not know why you feel this way but I recommend doing the following:

1. Pray like you've never prayed before. You mentioned nothing about praying, so I am suggesting you cry out to GOD. You came here to a Christian site who all believe in Christ as Savior so I can only assume you have some form of faith in Him.

2. Read the Bible. It is a great comfort. After all, it is the Word of Life, the Living Word of GOD that touches a heart as if GOD HImself is touching your heart.

3. Find a Christian counselor at a local bible based church. They are led by the Spirit and will not recommend man made pills to shove down your throat.

I will pray for you. God bless
 
I am sorry you feel this way. With Gods help, He will guide you out of this, just stay strong and fight with all your might. If you would like to PM me you can,

******************************************************************************
Regardless of how dark the future may appear to you right now, remember, God will never abandon you. It's In the Bible, II Corinthians 4:8-9 TLB, "We are pressed on every side by troubles, but not crushed and broken. We are perplexed because we don't know why things happen as they do, but we don't give up and quit. We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going."

You are of great value to God. It's In the Bible, Luke 12:6-7, TLB. "What is the price of five sparrows? A couple of pennies? Not much more than that. Yet God does not forget a single one of them. And he knows the number of hairs on your head! Never fear, you are far more valuable to Him than a whole flock of sparrows."

God cares about you and is thinking of you constantly. It's In the Bible, Psalm 139:17-18, TLB. "How precious it is, Lord, to realize that you are thinking about me constantly! I can't even count how many times a day your thoughts turn towards me. And when I waken in the morning, you are still thinking of me!"

You have been promised a marvelous future. It's In the Bible, Jeremiah 29:11, TLB. "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

Jesus will help you when your burdens are too heavy to bear. It's In the Bible, Psalm 55:22, NKJV. "Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you;" Matthew 11:28-30, KJV says, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your soul. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."

You are not alone in thinking about wanting to die. Several men in the Bible felt the same way. It's in the Bible, Numbers 11:14-15, RSV. Moses said, "I am not able to carry all this people alone, the burden is too heavy for me. If thou wilt deal thus with me, kill me at once, if I find favor in thy sight, that I may not see my wretchedness." An event in the story of Elijah is recorded in I Kings 19:3-4, NRSV. "Then he was afraid; he got up and fled for his life…But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a solitary broom tree. He asked that he might die: "It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my ancestors."

If you feel overcome with fear, God will help you, It's In the Bible, Isaiah 41:10, NKJV "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am Your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Joshua 1:9, TLB says, "Yes, be bold and strong! Banish fear and doubt! For remember, the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

God will never forsake you even if everyone else has. It's In the Bible, Psalm 9:10, NIV. "Those who know your name will trust in You, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You.." Psalms 46:1-3, TLB says, "God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble. And so we need not fear even if the world blows up, and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam; let the mountains tremble!"

God offers you peace of heart and mind. It's In the Bible, John 14:27, NKJV "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Isaiah 26:3, NKJV says, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." John 16:33 says, "I have told you all this so that you will have peace of heart and mind. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows; but cheer up, for I have overcome the world."

With God's help, keep your heart and mind focused on positive thoughts, It's In the Bible, Philippians 4:8, "And now, brothers [and sisters], as I close this letter let me say this one more thing: Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about."

Dear sister acuzzort,

I am most concerned for you after reading your post. I will be praying for you, because the situation in which you find yourself is from the pit. From the devil. Who wants "to kill steal and destroy" But Jesus said "I am come that you might have life"

Here is a word for you tyo repeat... a word of faith in Jesus. Say it aloud many times, as often as you feel the need.

Father I thank you that Jesus left me his peace, my heart is not troubled or is it afraid. I say of the Lord that he is my refuge and my fortress and in him I trust.
Therefore he delivers me from the snare of the fowler and from noisome pestilence. I am not afraid for terror by night nor the arrow that flys by day, the pestilence that walks in darkness or the destruction that waste at noon.
Even though a thousand fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand it will not come near me.

I do not have a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind.


Thank you Jesus
 
thank you, continue to pray

today sept 10, something great happened at church this morning. i felt God lift the depression and suicide thoughts from me. thurs (9-7-06) i got a new med, prozac but i had only been taking it for 3 days and during that time i had been so sick from it so today i decided not to take it and i felt great. they say the med last 24hrs so i took it on saturday morning at 7am and when church started it was 10:30am so i knew the med had worn off. what hapened was Jesus and completely me, no drugs. i feel my suicidal thoughts are gone for good but still continue to pray for me because from what my pastor preached this morning it was a serious attack of satan. i don't want to go back on the meds, pray i continue to get stronger and live without meds. i won't tell my psychologist or the nurse practitioner or my husband for awhile so they will think i'm still taking the meds which i'm not now. april cuzzort
 
Sister I am extremely happy for you! Praise the Lord! He loves you and I'm very excited to read this. I'm also happy you dropped the medicine and went to Jesus! What medicine better than the Healer Himself?
 
Hi April, I have just woken up and that was the best news to hear first thing this morning and start off my week with. I am really happy for you. God is wonderful, trust Him, build up a relationship with Him and He will help you and guide you through this. He loves you very much. :love:
 
I will pray for you acuzzort and I hope you wake up each day full of life and wanting to live for Jesus.

May He bless you each day, may His Father keep you and may the Spirit hold you.
 
Jesus is better than any med to cure ourselfs. Im glad your feeling better, keep your faith in Him and you will win this war. I will pray for you.
God Bless!
 
Hi April- I just read your post. PRAISE and GLORY to GOD. I am so happy for you I am excited to tears to know that you have been touch and healed. I know things will be good now. God Bless you sister- Michell
 
Sometimes the storm decends upon us without warning and we have no alternative but to batten down the hatches and pray that we can get through it. As I become more experienced I have devoloped a kind of instinctive action plan, as soon as I recognise the signs however often they appear I first pray to Jesus to help purge the evil from my mind, I pray for his help to overcome those negative thoughts that have entered my mind. I then try to physically do something to help me not to fall into that horrid place where I was trapped for so long. Sometimes my footing falters and I slip a bit but the thought of going back to that place and being in that place for all eternity fills me with fear.

For many years I suffered with the cruelty of depression in a state of ignorant and hopeless despair. I felt so self destructive that even when, I was told that suicide would lead to hell, I valued myself so little that I didn't care. I could see no end to the hell I was in anyway, the light had been shut out of my life. Over time I started to understand that depression was an enemy I could not trust. Sounds obvious but I realised that the thoughts I experienced whilst I was suffering an episode were not my own. They were put there by the devil. The more my thoughts were filled with good possitive things the harder it was for the devil to reach me.

The Devil would put thoughts into my head like, if I do this good thing for myself, I am being selfish. The world is better off without me etc... my torment will stop if I kill myself etc... Everyone hates me and I deserve to be hated etc... I began to understand I could not escape those thoughts being put there as long as the devil exists but I could deal with them and overcome them with the help of Jesus but also me deciding to help him to help me.

My thoughts still sometimes do not make sense and I feel them with such conviction that it is difficult sometimes to get past that. After I pray, I will consult the carefully selected family and friends about general things that are worrying me or events that have put pressure on me and I trust their feedback. My husband is my rationality, I confide in him when I am low because I would see things in peoples faces that weren't really there and their responses to things that I said brought me down (my good sense is my husband, I will say did I say that ok? Did I come accross eg sane? etc LOL.

He has helped me by doing research about how to deal with eg panic attacks etc also. (I found I was dealing with them all wrong!). I know now what works for me. He knows not to pressure me about anything if I am having problems treading water as it were he gives me time and gives me space to overcome it in my way.

I have told him how to be supportive and what I need from him to get through any bouts of illness. He is not perfect but the little things do help. I started to do research into the area of depression, for my sanity I had to prioritise making myself well so that I could help others and my family. I found out that too much REM sleep was bad and a deeper sleep helps to keep the chemestry in the brain balanced. I wear an eye mask to get a deeper sleep and make sure that I take allergy tablets and a steriod nasal spray during the hayfever season to stop my nose itching and to help my mind to completly switch off and rest as it was disturbing my sleep without me realising. I also make sure I go to bed and strick to that time no matter what. I try to remember good nutrition, I exersise/socialise once a week on a Thursday by playing badminton at the local methodist church and try to remember get out in the fresh air as much as I can so I can get my vitamin D.

With me I had so many different problems effecting me I had difficulty finding a cure!! Migrains, PMT etc... I had to deal with each in turn and try to take the necessary steps help myself be completely well. I could not have overcome any of these things if I did not have Jesus in my life more and TJ helped that to happen.

It is not a sin to try to help yourself and put your wellbeing first, you must look after the temple! If you no longer exist and do not prioritise yourself from time to time you will not be able to give to others. I'm sorry I have gone on a bit and I hope that some of the tips I have mentioned may be of some use to you.

God Bless:love:

Eve
 
Eve, I just can't say anything but amen, amen, amen. Going through trials with God's guidance gives us compassion for our sisters and brothers when they struggle. God has graced you with that ability.
 
I have to say... that suicide is never an answer. And i know, you know that ! Not only is there always some other way out.. but its so selfish! ...and no... no, Im not saying that "you" are selfish or anything of such. Im just saying the idea of suicide is.

... It impacts everyone you know. You could wipe your self out.......But dont think it end things. It just adds more pain to others around you. Even i, a mere stranger. If i briefly met you in person... said a few words, then later found out that you had commited suidide. I would be affected. I would think... ""NO!!! How could i not have seen the signs!!!!! I could have helped her!!! "... There will be lots of blame, lots of pain! Think about how it would affect your family.. your friends.. Others. ..even strangers!

Secondly... To consider suicide... Man, you must have some serious issues going on in your life. I understand you're depressed..I get it. I dont know whats going on in your life, so i cant really say anything... I would offer my thoughts... but, like i said.. i have no idea, whats going on.. And if its too personal.. then feel free to PM me.. ........Also, dont just rely on some magic pill to fix all your problems.. Thats not the way it works. You need to 'want' to heal first....... you need to try to help yourself.!!!!!!!!!!!

I think suicide is just... the worst thing imaginable!!..... mainly because it is a permanent, desperate, solution to a temporary problem..
 
Oh.. ok!
i felt God lift the depression and suicide thoughts from me

I just blabbed and blabbed in the above post, my thoughts on suicide... and you're not even suicidal any more.....!!


sorry, im a goob!.......glad youre doing ok!
 
acuzzort, I'm glad you're feeling better. I and many others have prayed for you and our prayers have been answered. You know that Jesus loves you and so do we. Please keep talking and tell us how you are getting on. If you ever feel like comitting suicide again, talk to us. We will pray for you, and prayer works.
 
having read other posting on this issue and considering the fact that u now feel better, i feel sort of reluctant to say this but i am moved by God to.
i often feel like suicide myself, but there is somethin every1 who visits this thread must know, the thot of suicide is a very shameful thing 4 any believer. why, it means an absolute llack of trust in God. i have to go now,i'll continue wit this post later.

suicide doesn't mean givin up on oneself or the world, it means givin up on God & what he's able to do 4 u & thru u. it's like surrenderin ur life to Him wit ur right hand and tryin to take it back wit ur left. this words may seem harsh but realistically that is what suicide amounts to.

i don't mean suicide is sin, its just that when we give up its like sayin "God, u can't help me so i'l help myself by takin my life".

We forget that this life is no longer ours,we forget that nothin can seperate us from the love of God, that there is there4 now no condemnation 4 those who are i Christ Jesus. we forget that christ in john16:33 said "...Here on earth you will have many trial and sorrows. But take heart, i have overcome the world". We forget how great and mighty God is, we forget that He makes all things beautiful in His time.

My advice is that u feed more on the word of God than on the info the world has 4 u. The world can't know u like God knows u. only what God says about u is true. find out for urself in His word. He has given us the holy spirit to guide us into all truth.
God bless and grace to u:love:
one more thing- count ur blessings, name them one by one and u'll see how much God has done 4 u.
 
Oh eve and everyone else's response i read that posted on 9-12-06 and after, you just don't know how right on time that words were. i am still doing good but on the 18th of oct i was going to kill myself cause i hate my life so much (no what i'm about to share is not too personal) there is no reason for me to live. the feeling was so strong to kill myself that if mike (friend) had brought my husband's gun back i would have shot myself but he didn't come and bring it and when i went to bed later that night i layed there crying to sleep. nov 4th was ,like i said in another post, my suicide date (the day i had planned on killing myself) but the closer the date gets the more i want to die. i'm confused and scared and i have so many personal problems i don't know how to deal with them in time. continue to pray and pray for me hard. i just can't see living past that date. if you want to know anything else feel free to pm me or email or reply to this. my next psychologist appointment is nov 3, i don't know what to do.

Lord give accuzzort strength and wisdom through your grace. Take command of these thoughts and quosh the scheme of the enemy in the name of Jesus Christ who defeats evil by the power of the cross. Pour your spirit of love over accuzzort and fill her with the breath of life. You are able to do far more than we can ever imagine, you are so powerful Lord. Thank you for your love.


:love:
 
I know it's hard accuzzort, I have been there too. I have good days, but then there are the bad ones that make me forget there ever was good days at all. Today was a bit hard, but I'm hanging in there. Please just take it day by day, minute by minute if you have to. I've done lots of praying and talking to God, it does help.
I know how personal problems stack up and can over take you, just try to take a step back and breath.
HUGS
