suicide


Never the answer. Hard truth is, it’s incredibly selfish and will only negatively alter the lives of everyone in your life, especially your daughter.

Seek help, even though you think it’s useless or tough. Even just talking out your problems with another person may be enough to change your life.

You’ll never regret it. Don’t make your daughter grow up without her daddy.

Do whatever you can to get help. Its out there. You have a daughter who loves you and that in itself is worth living for.

Get help, if anything.. Do it for her.

If you are serious, you have to know that it’s never as bad as it seems, and doing what you are thinking about solves absolutely nothing. It also makes life much harder to live for those you leave behind. Get some help. There is no shame in reaching out for help.

I'm late getting in on this, but my dad took his life when I was 25. Speaking as one who has lived through the aftermath of a suicide, PLEASE DON'T DO IT. SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP NOW!!!

Trust me, you would never consciously or purposefully put your family and friends through the roller coaster of emotions and experiences they will face if you take your life.

I can't say that I understand what you're feeling and experiencing, but please; suicide is not the answer. If your daughter is young, and it sounds as if she may be, she will spend years heartbroken and questioning why you left her. When she gets a bit older, that heartbreak and yearning for you could change to anger and resentment over your decision to exit her life when you did.

Again, PLEASE SEEK HELP, AND PLEASE THINK OF YOUR DAUGHTER. May Almighty God grant you a bit of inner peace, for now, and I pray He leads you through this place where you currently emotionally and mentally reside.

Whatever you do and however flawed you think you are, think of your daughter who loves you. Start from there and seek help

look, I’ve been there.

Single dad, wife left, lost a career, lost a brother...all in 6 months. You think the darkness didn’t creep in? It had been riding me like a jockey for a while. Nights I just wanted to take a nosedive from a tower and at least leave some money to those I left behind. Because that’s all I thought I was.

My kids are what saved me and chase away the darkness still.

Even on the darkest days when all seems lost, and the shadows cloud my mind and whisper lies, “I love you daddy, please don’t leave me.” Echoes again and again.

Because the darkness that feeds into depression is a lie. There are those who will feel
Their soul ripped away at your absence whether you think it or not.

If you’ve ever listened to a parent’s wail upon losing a child, you might understand. If you’ve seen a grown man bawl upon his brother’s tombstone, you might get it. No matter who you are, your parting brings sorrow.

The dark days come, sure as sunset, and endless nights will follow.

But no Matter how dark it gets...dawn will break the darkness. Whatever heartache and heartbreak and hollowness you feel will fade, and you’ll find laughter creeping in eventually.

It isn’t ever over until it’s over, and you have to fight against the dark and twisties that will cloud your thinking.

Life is long. And when love seems lost you’ll find it. When it all seems meaningless you’ll find meaning.

You just can’t give in. The songs are all written about those who hold on against the odds, who survive and fight another day.

So to all who might read this and know the looming doom of that great gobbling darkness...

Soldier on. It’s been worse and it will be better, you can bet on it.

I have made more mistakes than the good Lord should have allowed. I was in a very dark point in my life with my 5 year old daughter. And that’s exactly who saved me. Her angel smiles and laughs. You seriously need help Email me and send your number so we can talk and get you the steps I did that helped me so much. For real reach out, you know you need too!
Email me <———@Gmail.com.
Only gets better if you get the help you need. And if money is an issue I’m sure my family can help. I’ll say a prayer! Please reach out to me!

Man, I’m glad you posted because that means you are here.

Losing a job sucks, but if you do something terrible, whose gonna take care of them? You’ll find another job. Your little girl needs you brother! Trust me, there is nothing sweeter than that baby throwing her arms around you and saying “I love you daddy, stay with me.”

You can’t take that from her, do that to her. I know you’re better than that.

Let me tell you Christmas without you would be a lot worse than one without presents.
You need presents? I’ll buy some for your kids. Email me fr33manator@gmail.com.

Look, you need to talk, I’ve been there. I don’t care when it is, you need someone to talk to I’ll answer.

Just hang on. Hold on. Fight back the darkness. If it feels too much, reach out, I promise you there’s someone that’s gonna be up and willing to pull you out the muck.

Bro. I lost my job in January. Nearly lost my house. Had a health condition resurface. Got rejected from unemployment dollars even though my doctor said the job I took briefly was a danger to me and my coworkers. Friends and family passed away.

Life is fricking hard man. Read the book of Job. Do your best. Pray. Reach out for help and eventually someone will reach out and give you. Helping hand.

That’s the way that the world goes around
You’re up one minute the next you’re down
It’s a half an inch of water and you think you’re gonna drown
That’s the way that the world goes around

That’s got to be tough but there are things you can do to make some really great memories for your daughter
Stay up late watching Christmas movies, making cookies, stringing popcorn, making homemade ornaments together…
Just being together & spending time with each other will make memories she will cherish forever
My favorite vacations were going camping in a tiny pop up camper with my parents & grandparents

Focus on your family for the next 2 weeks & start fresh after the New Year looking for jobs

I will keep you & your family in my prayers
