The last few years have been the toughest of my life. I've lost the 3 most important people in my life.
Everyday I struggle to find a reason to continue. I've always been the one who would question why people would feel the urge to end their life.
I need all the prayers you can send my way. I just wish all the pain would go away

I'm truly sorry to hear that you're going through such a difficult time. Losing loved ones is an incredibly painful experience, and it's understandable to feel overwhelmed by grief. It's important to reach out for support during these times, whether it's from friends, family, or professional counselors. You're not alone in this, and there are people who care and want to help you through your pain.
Sending you strength and comfort during this challenging time.

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

I lost my grandmother and mother within 3 months of each other coming up on 2 years ago. 2023 was an awful year for me. But I got my 5-year-old son that brings me tons of joy and happiness and a reason to look forward to every day. My dad is still alive and in good health and I cherish every time I see him.
You can’t replace those people that are gone, but you hold on to those good memories you made with them and realize that you got people that still need you and love you and you create great new memories with them!
Life is a gift. LIVE IT TO THA FULLEST!!!

I have felt your struggle. Been to the point of telling my family to hide my guns. Tried depression meds, but they made it worse. Just Pray! Take one day at a time and focus on the positives. Prayers for you, man. Depression is real, but you can recover.

I've had similar questions. Very simple questions really, but with a billion answers that all felt wrong.
Please, speak to someone. You obviously want people to know (no hate whatsoever) by posting your feelings here. So, why not share with a professional?
I always kinda stick to a thing, that if I choose to end it, why not try the opposite? When you think there's no help, seek help. When you feel there's no hope, find it. When you feel like there's no meaning, redefine it.
As minimal as simple things seem to one person can be excruciatingly hard for someone struggling. But, by choosing the extreme, you affect so many more people than you know.
Call 988 if you're willing to talk

Many who have come before you and many after you have felt this way including myself. It’s a sickening stomach churning wanna die kind of experience. Breath prayers for a time of peace. Tell God what you are feeling and ask for help. If you have to do it a thousand times a day. I’ve been there and there is an end to the madness. Talking with a professional and close friends can help too. If you ever need a sounding board hit me up. May God lay His healing hands on your spirit.

Jesse, I’ve been there bud. God wants to come into your life and show you that no matter what, you matter to him. He loves you and has a plan for your life. No matter how old you may be, your best days are ahead of you. God always saves the best for last. And his best is guaranteed as long as we receive it. Hang in there. Seek God.
I’m going to DM you my mobile number. Call me any time of the day or night if your feelings and thoughts start to become plans and actions.
God bless you my friend.

Coming from one who has been there more than once, please accept from me that there is hope and things can, and will, get better.
I and many others on this board will be praying for you. Know that He wants good for you, wants to help you and has plans for you. Take a look at Matthew 7:11 as a start. I read this right before signing on this morning.
From a very practical side, focus on next steps. The pain is always right in front of us blurring the hope that can be found in the next minute. By focusing on your next tasks, you can begin to look beyond the pain and see there is a road ahead of you.
Stay in touch

Jesse - Keep your head up, put one foot in front of the other everyday. Those you've lost would want you to lead and happy and fulfilled life. Think of those around you that love you and bring you some bit of joy when you see them. And please, never be too proud to dial 988 if you need it.
The Cow and the Buffalo
The natural reaction for a cow when it senses a storm coming is to run away from it. The storm will always catch up to them. And because the cow continues to try to run away from the storm, it will actually spend more time in the storm than if it had just stood still and never moved at all.
A buffalo takes a totally different approach. When a buffalo senses a storm coming, it moves toward it. Because the buffalo is going one direction as the storm is moving the opposite way, it will end up spending far less time in the storm than the cow.
The example of the cow and the buffalo is meant to remind us of this principle: when we see a life challenge and are willing to face it head on, the consequences are fewer and the resolution comes more quickly.
Be a buffalo Take action, any action, to fight through the storm. You will come out the other side much quicker and much stronger that way

please keep in mind that there are people here who need you here, who want you here.
From experience of losing both of my Grandfathers, in 2000, about 1 month apart. Both died from cancer that took them down very quickly. I had a motorcycle accident and was in a coma for over 6 months in July 2000, and before the accident both of my Grandfathers were home and doing ok with no cancer. I wake from coma, come home couple weeks later with tons of rehab to do and no idea about anything going on in the family due to my accident. They were both my rocks as they had both been a big part of raising me as son of a divorced mom/dad.
I say this to you now, life goes on and you will learn to understand that your life is here and to be the best person you can be. Giving up is not an option, ever. You keep faith, whatever that may be, and keep your head up and remember that there are people who are out there who need you.
Prayers!!

I’ve been there. I felt all my reasons to stay were gone. Every moment of every day became a struggle to keep going. I lost 54 pounds. I wasted away to a 30” waist. My reasons to live were gone. I couldn’t bear another minute. Until I found my new reason. I gained all that weight back and then some.
I don’t want to feed you cliches. I want to offer some advice. Just live one minute at a time. Put one foot in front of the other. Keep finding something to keep your mind and hands busy. Volunteer at homeless shelter. I fed so many homeless people during my rough stretch. They became a blessing to me. I reached out to friends I hadn’t talked to in 25 years. Many helped prop me up when I couldn’t stand on my own. I kept finding reasons to live one minute at a time. Until she walked into my life.
I found he love of my life. She also saved my life. It got darkest before the dawn. I spend every spare moment of time with her. We’ve been married over twenty years and it’s been the best portion of my life. All after I couldn’t find a reason to go on.
If you need someone to talk to, I’m going to tmail my phone number to you. I am also a psychologist and will listen. No judgement. Just support and an ear. Unloading your pain cuts it in half. Please allow me to help you carry your pain.

, if not 50% or more, of the people here have their own stories. I know I do. It's difficult to get up every day. Difficult to go to work every day. Difficult to come home every day. In summary - it's been difficult.
I haven't lost anyone, but it's been kinda the opposite - I got everything I wanted a few years ago (not going to go into detail), which you'd think would be good, but each of those things basically preyed on each of the other things such that none of them have been enjoyable and I actually regret some or all of them sometimes. It's been one of the worst stretches of my life yet, and it should've been one of the best. But - I try to enjoy what I can.
My only advice is this - get outside and get active. Walk, jog, bike. Even stringing up a hammock by a lake and reading or even napping. Being outside is therapeutic in itself. Combine it with activity, and it's extremely beneficial. Hope this helps.
Hang in there. One day at a time.

At 83 I get down for sure, for many good reasons, but over the last 25 years I’ve learned to stay calm & focused inwardly, hold tight knowing the depression or inner feelings will pass sooner than later. Being less self-absorbed or not alone helps too as does a half-gallon of Byers pecky pecan ice cream.
Cheers & Go TiGERS!
