Feel really down all of a sudden and having suicidal thoughts. I don't think I'd ever actually do anything as I'm too scared to but I just can't live like this.

    What has been happening for you today Michael?  bad thoughts can come in late at night and this is hard to deal with.Have u got a radio to listen to or a magazine or just a cup of tea. Are u alone in the house? You will eventually go to sleep an hopefully things may appear a little better in the morning.

    have you had suicidal thoughts before? are u  on any meds? if u feel very bad please call the out of hours service in your area rather than suffer too much.

    I do not know you but know what it feels like to have these awful negative destructive thoughts and how hard it can be to move away from them. Just remember that they wil pass. Take care.

    Hi, Michael:  have you seen a doctor about getting some meds for anxiety/depression...I grew up back in the times when things were much more simple..Life isn't easy for anyone, especially young people.  Feelings are NOT facts, sweetie, so they change just like the weather.  If you haven't seen your doctor, please do so..if you have, please follow their orders and I'm sure things will seem brighter when morning comes....A big hug from me to you!!
