everytime i feel tired, i usually had death wishes too… but when i think about other people who are about to die and who are begging to God to extend their precious time on earth, i still feel lucky that i am alive and healthy….. i know the feeling… but giving up is not an option… all we need is someone to talk to… we can always find this person who will listen to all our problems, all we need is to extend trust for other people

Do everything in your power to contribute to fixing the biggest problems in the world. You will then see true suffering, and know that it is up to us to help. No not to help, but to fix it. And not tomorrow, not later, NOW.

At the young age of 13 years old , a spirit of suicide followed me. I could not understand why and God showed me that I am unique and special in His sight and I am the only me that He made.He allowed my life to be brought into this world to fulfill a purpose for His glory. In His eyes you are special and you are here for a reason not by accident. The devil knows you are a powerful force in God’s kingdom and he wants you to end your life. Suicide is a selfish spirit and it only comes to destroy. Did you ever think about how many people see you as valuable and special and if you ended your life, how sad they would be. If you don’t do anything else~ask God to show you your purpose in life and at your lowest darkest times,ask God to strengthen you. Two things I want you to remember: 1. God is your friend and loves and cares very deeply for you and wants nothing but the best for you. 2. The devil is your enemy and hates you and wants to destroy you. When you put your focus on those two facts, you’ll realize how much Jesus LOVES you and how He gave his life so you would live a wonderful life. Don’t give the devil that power over you. Jesus blood defeated satan. And if you trust your will and all those negative emotions to God~His love will consume it all. Believe me when I say God will give you a new sense of life . A hope in Jesus that will give you the strength and determination to go on. I am 30 and only God broke those chains of suicide off me and He will do the same for you! I pray for the joy of the Lord to be your strength. If you have not gave the Lord control over your life. Take a moment now and tell God your heart: all the pain, all the wrongs and ask Him to heal the brokenness and forgive your sins and ask Him to come into your heart this day and guide you for the rest of your life, In Jesus Name. When your life gets better don’t forget to thank God for delivering you.——–>[It will get treacherous and dark. It will feel like a never ending night. But the morning will come. The sun will rise again. It will be a new day. You will possess a new hope. And you will see and receive new mercies. Jesus Christ is not a security from storms. He is the perfect security in storms. Yes…..He is still God]———->Our tears do not fall without the hand of God catching every one! Be blessed, praying 4 u.

When I get tired I think of a poem I read not that long ago. It goes like this:
When times are hard and the road is foggy remember the Lord is always with you. Jesus walks beside me everyday. When it gets hard for me to walk He holds pulls me forward by my shoulder. When that becomes to much to bear God will then take my feet and the Holy Spirit will lift me up, so that I drag no longer.
I know it’s not very poetic, but it helps me to remember He is always there to carry me forward.
-Jesus is my Rock

I do not believe in god, therefore, ‘he’ can not take you, only you can. I wouldn’t do it, just take a break, and relax. soon, you’ll find, that there is a reason to keep on living, even though, at the present you may not find a reason why.

The hurts that I go through
The inner turmoils that torment me
The senseless pain that I feel
The sufferings that I experience
The hardship that I have to endure
The burdens that I carry
The frustrations that tested my patience
And the bitterness of my heart
In my loneliness I wept tears of anguish
Wallowing in my self-pity
How much longer do I have to suffer?
How much more do I have to endure?
The solution that I have found
Is simple as well as incredible
But it is the one truth
That I will cling to for the rest of my life
Cast your cares upon the Lord
For the Lord cares for you
Lift your eyes not on the circumstances surrounding you
But lift your eyes to God
For God is always there for us
A faithful God who is all knowing
Every single tear that you shed
Every problem that trouble you
For God is always there for us
Trust Him with all your heart
That He will give you the strength and grace
To face whatever situations that may come your way
For God is always there for us
I will move on confidently
That in any circumstances that I will arise as a victor
Bringing glory and honor to God
you should go see someone. depression is a disease that needs to be treated.

when your time come he will but trust GOd for it might not be in his plan for you to leave us yet but his plan are always the best listen and follow him. jesus died for you so you could live with him
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
have patience and enduranace the lord will see you through believe and trust

i think it is easy to give up in this world, i think it is easy to say that you are no longer for this world, i think they are strong that can take actions upon there feelings whether or not its the right action it is still doing something. i will i had your something to change my own life. i to am so very tierd.
April 10th, 2009 at 1:23 am
leila: you say “depression is a disease that needs to be treated” and i agree whole heartedly, however, choose a less insensitive sentence to express your thoughts next time. you said it as if those with depression have some hideous infection.
and to glen: i do believe in god, but he won’t take you just because you give up. “M” is right, only you can do such things to yourself. i’m not going to be provocotive and tell you that you won’t do it - i don’t know you from a bar of soap - but i pray that you find reason not to, and see the sun again.
stay strong.

Hi Glen,
I’ve been in your position before, and am still dealing with depression. The best thing you can do is speak to a health professional - a doctor, counsellor or psychologist - about it. I found it incredibly hard to admit to anyone that I was struggling and barely keeping afloat, but I did it and have regained a sense of control over my life. When I was severly depressed, it seemed like there was no way out of the self-hatred, tiredness and loneliness, but there is - you just have to hang in and not be afraid to let people know that you’re not coping.
All the best.

HEY THERE BIG GUY, YOU ARE BIGGER THAN THAT!!!! If you can go so far out of the greatnes of life and love for it, I’m more than sure that you can find your way back just as well. At one point you felt so much love that you thought you couldn’t handle, and you knocked yourself out of the love zone straight into the dark zone. Think about it ….if you could love somtehing or someone so much that you got scared to death of it, you have the biggest and finest in you to do just about anything oposite to that and I’m sure that you are not tired of life but of the wrong turns that it took and the way you think about it. You are strongest person I’ heard on these pages, and I am sure that you will make right choice, because IF YOU DID’T KNOW OR WANT THE LOVE OR THE LIFE, YOU WOULDN’T BE ON “HIS” PAGES CONFESSING YOUR PAIN. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING SO DO WE, BUT THERE IS SO MUCH LOVE HERE FOR YOU THAT YOU JUST CAN’T AFFORD TO MISS. YOU WILL MAKE IT TROUGH, BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU, WE LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!. You take care now and make sure to reply to me with happier news. That is your next step in life, I know it might seem little to you , but to me it means a world. A world that wouldn’t make sense to anyone who knows you if you weren’t here. We are waithing on you to show us what else that big and deep mind of yours can do with it’s endless power and energy for this world for years to come. JUST BE!!!! That’s all you need to do, everything else will be revieled to you. God bless you, you are loved!
p.s. Please read The Secret By Rhonda Byrne, it will tell you where to look for answers.

I am sorry you feel this way–if you believe in God–hold to Him with all your might and go to counselor-or anyone that will let you unload–write stuff down–get it out—I do believe and I also am aware of spirits of death depression and despondency—-and that is also what this is—but you need to get outside help–if I pray against these spirits and they leave–and if you do not replace them with God–they’ll come back with a vengence.. so I’m not going to do that ..I would do you more Harm than good… I cut out all negative tv–all of it–music–surrounded myself with God–and a cd–Rita Springer–”Worth it All’…. after about two weeks– I had a break thru—
If you aren’t a believer–find a counseling agency that will hear you out… take care of yourself–eat better, get enough sleep and take B-12. Stay away from eggs—some people have adverse effects because of food alergies— .
You can’t do this alone, please look in the yellow pages for family resources…. I’ll pray that you have strength to endure and that you see some light of day. In Jesus’ Name I pray-Be healed! ps–get rid of the gun–don’t tempt yourself—don’t play–I know someone who did that playing—they are no longer with us-peace.

Dear human brothers and sisters,
When in the midst of horrible pain or suffering, our base human design of emotions mostly drives our thinking, as opposed to normal situations where our thinking controls our emotions.
As a person who’s brother OD’d on herion, lost my mother on Jan 1, 2009, New Year’s Day, have had physical pain, loss of job and finances, a five-year fall into major clinical depression, a son convicted at 18 for drug sales and a felony, and a spouse who has to be the most selfish, self-centered person I have ever met, and 3 attempts at suicide in one day, YES, I can express some understanding and equality with ANYONE who feels utterly hopeless, that life has no purpose or meaning, and I REALLY relate to feeling TIRED. I don’t know HOW many times I have said that word.
So first, BELIEVE ME. You are NOT the only one with depression, you are NOT isolated and alone. You are NOT by yourself. There are OTHERS who have the SAME feelings and DESPAIR that you do.
With regard to depression, my story is a long one, but mainly 1) Not understanding I was suffering WITH depression 2) I had great difficulty just getting diagnosed. 3) Finding the right drug that worked to relieve the main problem of depression.
So LISTEN up… save yourself the days, months, or YEARS you’ve suffered, TRUST me that you can get HELP, and TELL your parent, best friend, someone, that you are VERY depressed. You may not know WHY you are depressed, or anxious, or so filled with fear, this is VERY common. I had NO IDEA why I started breaking into tears, just feeling down, being so dam filled with fear and anxiety, etc. I can tell you that my situation WAS work related, that was the MAIN stress point in my life. I had a evil person who was my supervisor, and I am a very hard working, consciencious person. Long story, short. I slowly burnt out over a 5-year period, became a MAJOR people-pleaser, did EVERYTHING to try to make this moron happy. But ALL the while, I just did not SEE what was happening to my BODY.
Did you know that depression is the body’s way of protecting itself? This is NOT a joke, it is basic medical fact. Your body will slowly shut down to protect itself. Can’t sleep? Sleep all day? Don’t eat? Can’t stop eating? Can’t concentrate? Making decision getting harder and harder? Feel like running away, to anywhere but here? Memory loss? That is your body TALKING to you, saying, “Hey, I need some help here…”
Also, there are two MAIN types of depression; Chemical… and emotional. Mine is emotional, brought on by outside influences that I could not cope with, meaning I did NOT know WHAT to do. I did NOT have the TOOLS or INFORMATION I needed.. Chemical simply means (and yes, this is a well-known medical fact) that your body is not producing a balance amount of chemicals that keep your emotions ‘balanced’! Emotional means some outside influence is hurting you (like constant verbal abuse, being put down all the time, being told you are worthless, or just being hated by some idiot for no reason whatsoever).
So… #1 - Go to a primary medical doctor or psychiatrist (the one who prescribes anti-depressants), and tell them you are very depressed. DO NOT FEAR. FEAR is a major emotion and equally major LIE. Technically it has NOTHING to do with the medical aspect. Do not TRUST fear, use your LOGIC and just GO to a doctor. Tell yourself you are just going in for a check-up… trick your mind if you have to… don’t make it a big deal, downplay it in your mind.
The biggest group in the chemical side is ‘bi-polar’, it’s just a name that mean the person has a CHEMICAL imbalance. Tell the doctor you want to be TESTED to see if you may have some of the symptoms of bi-polar behaviour. I am not ‘hard core’ bi-polar, meaning I don’t stay up 5 days in a row, and some of the other symptoms, but I do have some aspects of that diagnosis. My diagnosis is ‘major clinical depression’, which means when I get ‘down’, i get REAL down.
I take Lamictal and Effexor XR. Lamictal was first used for epalectics, for seizures, but a side affect is being an anti-depressant. If you find your own behaviour is just mostly ‘down’, you are ‘tired all the time’, despair of life, feel truly hopeless, then you Lamictal may be for you. I don’t have major UP’s, where I feel really high (one of bi-polar’s symptoms). Another TOOL here…. How you FEEL is usually NOT the same as the cirumstances in your life, meaning things are not as BAD as they appear to be. You simply are CONVINCED BEYOND DOUBT in your MIND that there is nothing to live for. THAT is the LIE of DEPRESSION. TRUST ME, I KNOW.
Before I actually tried to commit suicide, I was really breaking down, wandering around the house one day, really panickng, and had become truly fearful I would hurt myself. So I FINALLY went to a mental hospital. NOW… I have a degree, have done well at most everthing while growing up, sports, school, girls, mechanics, computers, being outgoing, etc. So after this 5-year downhill battle, when I walked through those doors…. listen to me here… I was TOTALLY convinced in MY mind that my LIFE was OVER. Understand? I thought “This is the end of my life, i have finally died.” Because to me, going into a mental hospital, a smart, intelligent, ‘cool’ person, I had met my ultimate FAILURE, and thus my life was over.
But…. it wasn’t. After sleeping for about one week (my body was almost completely shut down), i started attending the classes. i was truly zombie-like, very common when your body is completely burned to the absolute end of its ability to perform). But when the woman started writing about MY life on the white board… wait! How did she know THAT about ME?
Well, so save time here, I discovered that these doctors had this depression stuff DOWN. They knew ALL about the symptoms, WHY we think the way we do, and they started EDUCATING me with TOOLS so i could be TRAINED to RECOGNIZE thinking patterns.
That was the start, not a quick fix, but at least a ‘light’ went on in my mind, and I had some new HOPE. I started learning WHY I think the way I do; like being ‘black and white’ about things (all or nothing - I’m ALL good or ALL bad), ‘catastrophizing’ (losing a dime and thinking you will now lose your wallet, or your car, or your house), ‘fortune telling’ (My life is over, I’ll NEVER get well), and other catagories of poor thinking processes. These are VERY normal for people with depression, ok?
Yes, this situation, this depression, it is a real battle, that is the truth, BUT there is HOPE, you CAN FEEL BETTER. I finally found got the Lamictal… and that was my miracle drug. It keeps me feeling normal, and prevents serious ‘lows’. Life itself has not changed, but I now have more TOOLS and TRAINING to cope with life.
Here’s the one tool you need to use now… take one step, only one step at a time. Live in this one day, or one hour, as needed, and just go see a doctor. That’s the only step you need to take at this time.
So have FAITH, there are people who really care, and there is a right anti-deperssant for YOU.

Glen, I dont want that you came to hell.Sorry, for my german-english…I write from Berlin. Please, do it not! Its no fun, or a great horror……

A girlfriend of mine started to tell me about JESUS - and that HE loves me. That GOD create me and that I AM IMPORTEND for HIM……
First - I thought she´s VERY silly….But friends prayed (is talking with God- like your friend.) for me, and hey, I feel a power I never feel befor!!! WHAT was this….???? They invite me to a servic - Now, i came. And I kneel down and say to God:
“My life is a big bullshit- you can have it , when you want.God. Forgive my sins. (I dont know what are “sins” at this time- but I say this.)
When you are exist- ok-when not…..so I have to look furthermore…”
WoW- he heard me!!!!!!!!
After this prayer, God chance all. The first I feel: The “whole” in my heart was filled!!!! ( explain: i gived my “Heart” all what (I thought …)he needs: Sex, drugs, alcohol……but I was everytime EMPTY!!!
Step by step i understand and feel more of his wonderful love. He chance my heart give me his holy spirit. Make me REALLY HAPPY!
Now I have a Reason to be happy! The chaos in my head get slowly clear- I ove the bibel , his truly word. This is the TRUE, i ever looking for! Step by step he heal ME. I forgive my parents- wow, what did you think,Glen-befor we hate us- now we hugh us and love us and talk normaly. SO is GOD.
He learn me not to live in mess-i started to clean my flat. He heal me, my relationships, I find a good job, waited with sex AFTER Wedding- and have no problem with …smily

Glen…
NO. Sorry, He knows you’re tired. Aren’t we ALL?? hey, i have been tired way too many times already. Pill overdose! G’d said “uh.. NO” then i’ll cut mi arms all over! laying on a pool of my own blood, i thought i heard G’d say “mm… NAH. I’m not taking you now”. The things i’ve done, you’ll laugh if i told you i once, in one sitting, took more than 30 valiums+30 xanax+ about a gazillion sleeping pills, downed with a blottle of vodka and then top it with a nice serving of a rope around my neck… can you believe G’d said NO to all that crap?! He probably laughed and said “darn, what a clown! she sure is determined, but I have the last word”
So, yeah, we’re all tired. But you came here. Wouldn’t you rather let us try and boost some energy back in your spirit? I’m in.
Let G’d go ahead with all His work. We’ll take you.
Love and peace,
Farrah

June 16th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
well. what can i say. your time hasn’t come yet
set new goals. overcome new challenges. and do it for God. fulfil what he has called you to do. you’re tired well here are a couple verses to help get you up and ready to praise God and help bring others to his name. ask God for strength and you will receive.
psalm 115:1 1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us
but to your name be the glory,
because of your love and faithfulness.
Isaiah 40: 28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

I don`t believe in qod ( No effense ! ) but I think you should qet a meaaan caffiene hit or take a holiday. Somewhere you`ve ALWAYS wanted to qo. Or live somewhere else. Re invent yourself. Be NEW.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:45 am
love yourself, know yourself, youll find out that you are awsome, create something, read a lot, help someone, make waking up be worth it, sometimes things dont seem fair but we cannot focus on the bad parts of life, go out and meet someone new or stay at home and do something crafty, take advantage of yourself, thats the point, God wants you to be happy with everything that you have and are.
God id good not because he gives what you want, hes good because he gives you what you need, that sometimes its not what you expect.
show yourself how strong you can be. you still have a lot to learn from yourself.
July 30th, 2009 at 11:20 am
I totally take offence to the image that has been chosen to compliment this post… it’s an irresponsible comment on this person’s real life problems. what are you trying to insinuate??
August 6th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
pull the trigger you pussy.
August 16th, 2009 at 2:42 am
If you are going to take your (short) life you have on this earth…make sure you know where you will be for eternity.
You can make a choice here, but once you are on the other side, there is no turning back…and it will be forever!
Choose life, choose Jesus.
Whether you remain here or not.
