Ditto!! I agree with Diane. I would imagine that thought hasn't been far from

many of us at some point in our life.

My faith enables me to hold on, even when my faith is weak, I know God is still

in control. He hasn't taken his eye off of you ! He sees you as his

precious child.

You are not alone.

Praying for you,

Pamela

Re: Suicidal

Where better to deal with your issues than among those who at least

understand why you feel the way you do? That is the basic definition

of " support " . It's not just for when things are going well, but more

specifically, should be geared for the times when things are falling

apart. Don't isolate yourself from those who can understand and feel

for the things you are going through and the emotions you are

experiencing. I don't have any easy answers but I sure do have an

open ear and don't mind listening when others are suffering. So many

people have been there for me; it's the least I can do to try to be

there for someone else. God bless you and strengthen you!

, you are amongst the stronger ones on this group... Many of us have sat

behind watching all the emails go by wondering when the right time to speak

up would be... Your sharing your true feelings is as real as it gets and I

think your admitting suicide is a very real thought for more than just you,

may allow others to confront their own fears of these feelings...

This is the best place to speak up because its SAFE. We're not just hear for

you... we are here for ourselves, for our friends and family suffering the

same way you are as, and also for strangers that we've never met. Its a

family of sorts and we are so happy to have you share your innermost

concerns with us...

Look at me... my dad died and I had only been part of this site for a short

time and I can't get myself to unsubscribe. You all mean too much to me and

everyone was here to help me, so I'm here purely to return the favor.

Without you, I'd have nothing to contribute...

Thank goodness for challenges in our lives, that make us stronger. To those

challenges we cannot overcome alone.. thank god there are others to share

our feelings and support our fears.

Your friend,

Judy

,

Your post was far from being insensitive and this is exactly the place to vent

your feelings. The best way to deal with issues is talking to someone.

Feeling depressed after quitting alcohol is a very normal response. This is also

why so many find it very difficult in quitting drinking.

The fact is that your body is still detoxifying the effects of alcohol on the

brain. See not only does alcohol effect the liver it effects transmitters in

the brain. Your brain is so used to having it that it suffers from not having

it. That's why cravings can be very strong and last for the rest of your life.

The good thing is, if you ride this out, in about five weeks you will start

feeling yourself again and will most likely see the depression subside. There is

also medication that you can take to help treat this.

But please don't feel you are in the wrong place to post. You can post your

feelings here, and we all support each other. Like Judy, posted, once you find

this group it's hard to leave. This is because everyone here is so caring and

the longer your here the more like family we all become.

But feeling suicidal is very serious and not to be taken lightly. So even while

you have us to talk to anytime, it's important that you talk to someone close to

you that can help you through this as well.

Hang in and don't give up.
