This almost happened to me one year ago today (December 11, 2019). I was under a lot of social isolation because I have autism and there were a number of social mishaps I had been having with people that I used to go to school with due to my disability. Society is really harsh and unforgiving when it comes to this and that makes it very hard for me to relate. I felt like I was in a dark tunnel and had zero hope that society would stop being so harsh.

On December 9, 2019, I boarded an Amtrak train in Davis, CA where I was living at the time to head East. My intention was to ride the train all the way to Chicago and then jump off a high-rise there. I wanted to die in Chicago because that’s my favorite location of all time, so I wanted to die there instead of in Chicago and I also love Amtrak, so I wanted to take one last train trip before I died. During the long train ride there, someone found out what I was up up and called the cops who intervened and convinced me over the phone, along with my parents to not give up yet and come back to California. I’m in a much better place now than I was last year, but there’s still a number of problems new and old that I still haven’t been able to destroy. Yes there’s hope, but it takes effort on other people to help. What if you don’t have a lot of friends or people to talk to because you have a hard time retaining friendships?

THIS IS A MESSAGE:
Just because we are depressed does not mean we cut ourselves!



Just because we are gay does not mean we like you!


Just because they are a man does not mean they can’t show emotion!

I have high functioning autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. I know depression is real, especially when life is difficult and friends come and go. But having a very supportive family makes a world of difference. The world needs you and you can make a difference! So never give up hope of a better tomorrow! Always talk to someone!

My brother took his own life at 20 years old back in 2021 I miss him so much I would do anything to give him a hug.

My sister died from suicide and if the NHS and mental health awareness center actually did something it would have atleast hired up the chance of her living

I lost my 19 year old son to suicide eight years ago. Since then I have been on an unending search regarding this subject. Here is what I have come to "know". Yes, our creator has given each of us the ability to end our physical lives if we so choose. It is a personal choice we all have. Also, what I have come to know is that the instant a person commits suicide they realize their mistake and make every attempt to have their spirit reenter their body. But, in my son's case he shot himself in the head with a .45 so it was impossible for his soul to reenter his body and survive again in the physical. Once a person is successful in taking his or her own life they are met with loving spirits in the next realm who rework and correct the distorted energy of their new patient. There is no hell, no Satan and no judgment. God does not punish. God loves. But here is the best argument I have found against suicide and it has nothing to do with those who are left behind to grieve as I was. If you decide to take your own life at some point you will reincarnate again to face the same challenges which were not overcome in your previous incarnation. Yes, your soul will enter the womb of a new mother and you will have to go through teething and all the experiences of being an infant and eventual childhood and adulthood just to face the same challenges which were not overcome previously. So, it seems to make common sense to me that one should make every effort to successfully overcome challenges in "this" incarnation rather than a future one. That said, I would never want my son back again if he were to remain in the mental anguish he certainly experienced. Better that I suffer than he. God Bless you all. We all get as many chances as we need. The eventual outcome for us all is guaranteed! Mac

More open discussions about mental health can definitely encourage individuals to reach out for support before their situation becomes critical.

My guilt over my past misdeeds is tearing me apart. My parents are what keep me going. Who knows how long they have left in their old age. I feel terrible as is. I can't imagine how I'd feel with them gone.

[linxvisuals]

I'm always sad and feel hopeless. I'm just hoping I could be good at something, one day.

Hoping that you could be as good as the other kid, hoping you could achieve your dream, hoping that maybe someone would appreciate you for what you worth.

Spending more time in your room than having activities with your family. You know it's sad when the activities that usually makes you happy don't makes you happy anymore.

I haven't gone through any accident, lose anyone, I'm just a teenager trying to be better. One of the best quotes ever is:

"Everyone can be good, but not everyone have the chance to do so"

[DJBluestone]

I don’t think these PSAs make that much of an impact on people. It’s so much different in real life. I tried to kill myself when I was a teen and it was a couple months after I was placed into foster care because my real parents abused me and I didn’t trust my foster parents like I should have. They actually did care about me. I didn’t leave a note or anything. Anyway I really do believe sometimes people feel like they have no one to turn to. After you been through abuse though, life just gets harder. I have PTSD and I pushed everyone away. Depression and anxiety does more damage than good and even talking about it with someone who is suicidal, it doesn’t mean it’s going to change the way they feel. Every person is different and from my experience, there’s not going to be people around forever to help . Eventually friends move on, family members die, and you’re by yourself before you know it. It can happen. Let someone save you if there’s someone you can at least trust.

The acting is a bit off, but i love the message

The mindfulness book "30 Days to Overcome Suicidal Thoughts" by Harper Daniels is a good resource. Pass it on.

almost 3 years ago, at almost 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal. I went in & out of psych units like it was a game of Chess. Suicide watch. I was on enough Antidepressants to kill a horse. I hated myself. I wanted out. I wanted the pain to stop. The gaslighting* to end. *(when a psycho makes a sane person question their own sanity, and thus think they themselves are the insane one).
I wanted power. I got into witchcraft. I thought it would give me the identity i wanted, to be set apart from people who hurt me. It only made me sicker. Sicker. Thats what it did to me.
The doctors said i’dnever get well. That i would suffer severe Chronic Manic depression, and never be well, that id be stuck on antidepressants all of my life.
I would plot suicide on a daily basis, binging and purging my food as often as opening and closing a door. The pain was too real. People choked me. Assaulted me. Told me i was ugly, i felt worthless. Nothing ever got better. Then my mother died. The (1) & only soul who ever loved /emotionally supported me was removed from the earth. I was stuck living with people who broke me, ruined my identity, thus causing me to hate God. I thought God hated me, that he was just like the ones who tortured me, a family of abusers, who cover up all their actions with the mask of religion. I didnt know that God is on my side. I didnt know that Jesus would Love and Defend me, and fight for me and that He later would heal me, rescue me from Family. The ones who caused me pain. The ones who choked me for wearing a necklace.

I moved out after family threatened to throw all my belongings on the front yard, and have me permanently institutionalized in an insane asylum, when they were the ones who caused my mental illness via abuse.

They blamed me for the abuse they did to me.
To take my life in an insane asylum when they were the ones who made me suicidal.

Next morning i spoke with my dead moms parents who let me live with them.

I stayed on the antidepressants, prescribed. But they only made me sicker. I got deeper and deeper into witchcraft, thinking it was a solution. But it made me even more suicidal. Self hatred was inescapable. All my cards have fallen down. I have nothing left. But out. I wanted out.

I decided i was going to kill myself. I was going to take all my pills.

But then Jesus stepped in. I didnt die. I surrendered my life to Jesus to make me well and heal me.

The deity i blamed for me being abused wanted to heal me. He Was fighting for me and Loved me all along.

He wanted to love me. He wanted to give me His Heart.


HE LOVES ME. JESUS. LOVES. ME .

Jesus miraculously healed me — i am off all drugs and dont need them and i dont have any mental illnesses. I have a job and am totally healed, full of joy.

I’m now a born again Christian, in my 20’s who wants the entire world to know that JESUS WANTS TO HEAL YOU

HE. LOVES. YOU.

I want that teenage girl to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ on what he did for her on the cross for her sins without any string attached so that she has eternal life in heaven, string attached for example are believe + do your part/best by the way you live, or believe + give your life to Jesus, or believe + repent of your sins which all these are believe + works lies.
