This is not a suicidal threat. I just feel like giving up. I want to die but don't know how to. I have lost everything and now I got my job back and everything but I am going to loose it all again.

I want to just say I give up.

I live in Garden City Michigan and have no friends. I have nothing left and I am hard of hearing going deaf.

I can't see my kids because of the depression I am in.

I thought about just giving up but I don;t know how to.
 
Hi ncarrick, I'm sorry that you are feeling like to give up. We all get the ups and downs too. You need to go to your Dr and explain your feeling. He/she may want to give you a check up for health problem you might not be aware of. Like for example, could have thyroid disorder which did happen to me many years ago and any other health problem. Your Dr can recommend a counscellor (sp?) to help you. The counscellor can pinpoint the problem and help steer you in the right direction.
Do you have a hobby or an interest in something? Maybe join a club so you can make friends who have similar interest.
Is there someone who you can talk to whom you trust? Your family? Maybe the person can suggests some place for you to seek help.
Please go and seek help. I know how you are feeling now. I have been through it many times. Hang in there. :hug:

I agreed with you better go and see doctor and also counsellor too .. :)
 
Go get help please I know it's hard infact alot of us do( no offense) but we care about you and don't wanna see you hurt like this so please go get help asap
 
I been seeing doctors for years. Lost my kids and I really feel like I have nobody.

I have no real friends. I pay somebody just to be my friend now.

I am so lonely. Its unreal.
 
My husband recently passed away a month ago. Things become so hard on me and two sons. We just decorated a small Christmas tree to put small christmas flower in the living room to cheer us up.

My husband's birthday is tomorrow, we want to think of him tomorrow all the day. We are terrible miss him.

At first, I really want to die because I want go with him. I realize, my two sons and two cats need me. I am going to Grief Support Group in January.

You are not only the one, feel so depress and lonesome. My husband does not want me to be depress or cry. It is so hard for me right now especially those the hoildays.
 
You have to think about the people close to you...
If you give up, then the people close to you will give up too.

Why not move somewhere, if you're not happy where you are?

I don't know if you're married, but
hey... look at us folks... we need somebody.
Oh you do have children. But hey your Children need you more... and
hey... buy them a lot of presents, if you can afford, and if you
can't go see them, then order online and have UPS to deliver these presents to them...

If you think about killing yourself, please don't. Don't leave us.

Go do something that make you so happy. Or maybe plan a cruise trip
with the deaf next year... find something you can look forward doing
something....

People are depressed because they aren't happy with what they
are doing now. So go find something to do... have fun in life.

Maybe decorate your house or apt or something with Christmas things...
If you already done that, why not try to make some homemade
Peppermint Pies, I saw on FoodNetwork,, made by Paula Deen and give them away to your
friends and all...

It is almost Christmas time, how can you be depress?

That's going a little to far don't ya think? Maybe your better off with out any. Not being rude or mean or nothing. But its not worth stressing yourself out. There many things you can do without friends. Also being online getting new friends could be a good start. A little time & patients.

Oh. Well your kids will HATE their momma for not letting them see you...

Your kids will always think about you and they will always LOVE YOU....
no matter what their mom said about you.

Anyway... there are kids that don't have any parents at all, why
not go to an orphanage or maybe go visit children at the hospital
and give them gifts and stuff...

And maybe somebody will tell your kids' momma, that you did good deed,
and maybe she will reconsider on letting you see the kids and stuff.
 
Life is full of challenges...if you give up then you REALLY lose everything.

Stand up, look at yourself, and think for a moment...can you keep trying?

then the answer is yes.
 
ncarrick,

Well I won't tell you to seek professional medical attention because everyone has pretty much told you that one already. Perhaps a member of the clergy would be helpful as well; even if they are not at the church you attend and even if you don't attend a church. The point is, since you say you don't have any friends to talk to, between medical and others, they are the folks that can listen and possibly help. Even community centers like the YMCA and believe it or not, homeless shelters; there are lots of possibilities at this time of the year. You actually do have lots of friends out there but they are possibly in need of you coming to them and in some cases, receiving help from YOU! You'd be surprised at the possibilities!

I do see that you are an IT/IS person and that is a great field of work! A lot of us around here could probably use your expertise getting some kinks out of our computers. So please, find some folks in your local area to interact with professionally or civicly, then come back here and tell us what wonderful gifts you were able to share. And when you do report back in, stop by the Technology forums here; we need you too! :)

Praying for you! Dave
 
Sorry to hear you're going through a very rough patch.
BUT do not take your own life because it'll impact badly on your kids and those who love you.

Focus on healing yourself and find happiness in life and such. Then work on being able to see your kids. Kids always need you no matter what you think.

Hope you'll be alright.
 
That is cruel that the kids' mom won't let you see them...

It should be illegal to do that.
 
My ex husband tried to take my daughter away from me by moving back to AZ but by law he cant do that unless he got court approval. Anyways, I did have moments of panic trying to imagine not seeing my daughter for several months. I would feel the same way as you do, ncarrick..

Pls follow the advice of other ADers..take it one day at a time and focus on getting better and then taking the steps to see your children again.
