IF YOU ARE SUICIDAL…

Are you feeling so severely depressed that you are thinking of suicide?

Are you on the edge of a terrible choice.... which to choose, the pain of death or the pain of life…between doing it and not doing it…which is the worst…?

Then we are glad that you found us. We are very pleased that you are here. And let us remind you that there is nothing more important than your life. Nothing,

We value that life more than anything else. Your life is extremely valuable, and we care about you. You're not alone.

These pages are specifically written for you if you are struggling with suicidal urges, while severely depressed and anxious. Please think of us as your spiritual friend and we are writing these message with all the love that we have for you.

Let us begin by saying if you are here because you are currently thinking about suicide, we ask you to PLEASE stay with us and read these pages.

If you can give us few minutes, we may be able to give you enough information to be able to save your life. We are sure you can afford a few minutes ...

As you continue to do this, we would like you to do is sit back and relax because it's much more relaxing to read that way. Take a few peaceful breaths, and let your shoulders sink comfortably down, towards the chair that supports you, as you continue to read.

We don't know who you are but we do know you must be feeling at bottom's end, if you are reading this.

If it were possible, we would prefer to be there with you at this moment, to sit with you and talk, face to face and heart to heart. But since that is not possible, we will have to make do with this.

  • First, we want you to know that here is absolutely nothing wrong with you as a person.

    Furthermore, people do feel suicidal and severe depression and associated pain makes people act sometimes without thinking things through.
     

  • We understand that if you are really serious about killing yourself, you must be in tremendous pain and you have a lot of real problems that need to be worked out.

    Many of our team members have had first hand experience of severe depression so we know what it's like to torture yourself.
     

  • We also know that suicide when compared to a lifetime of pain associated with severe depression, doesn't really seem so bad.
     

  • We also understand that the following may be just some of the feelings and things you might be experiencing when you are severely depressed and contemplating suicide:

    "I can't stop the horrible pain."
    "I can't see any way out of this shit."
    "I can't make this absolute sadness go away."
    "I can't see a future without unbearable pain."
    "I can't get out of this terrible depression."
    "I can't sleep, eat or work."
    “There is no hope that I will ever be well or stable.”

Since you are reading this, we can assume you may even be wondering deep down, do I really want to commit suicide. That is a sign that you are reaching out for help, and we are happy you have.

We would like to ask you to please continue reading these entire pages.

PLEASE GIVE US FEW MORE MINUTES AND WE WILL GIVE YOU SOME ANSWERS.

So, if you are severely depressed (and/or anxious) and as a result suicidal, what specifically are our main goals for you?

1. To keep you alive for a few more minutes.

2. To have you want to keep yourself alive for a few more minutes.

3. To have you want to keep yourself alive long enough to seek appropriate medical help (more specifically psychiatric help) which is very much available and needed in your case.

4. To have you come to a new understanding as you are reading ... to be able to say "Oh, I get it!”… to have that light bulb flash above your head…or I guess just to feel a little better about yourself.

  • We want to reassure you, that you are NOT a bad person. You are NOT flawed or strange.

    You are dealing with pain of severe depression. Pain that out weighs your life.
     

  • Your feelings of aloneness, fear, unworthiness, and even uncertainty of suicide are normal when a person has been faced with more pain than they can handle.
     

  • Right now, you are feeling that the pain associated with your severe depression outweighs the coping mechanisms.

    And your feelings are valid. Sometimes pain outweighs everything.

We thank you so very much for being here. It means a lot to us because the mere fact you are here means that you are reaching out, and that you really do want to live. So, we want you to do something else that is very important.

Relax and take your time and read all the articles below one by one preferably in the order mentioned. Take some deep breaths and do read all the articles. Just take it easy.

It will take you about 20 minutes to an hour to complete reading all the articles. So, if beating depression and suicide is important to you, please set aside the time to read the articles properly.

Why not grab a coffee and devote the next half hour to it? It could be the most important half hour you ever spent.

So, go ahead and read all these articles. We are just saying something, which is very simple but can possibly make a difference between your life and death.

This may be the most important section of this website.


When you read all these articles, you can be assured that there is structure, substance, and techniques buried in these articles, which can help you immensely in overcoming your suicidal urges and paving way for seeking much needed, deserved and available help.

Suicide or harming yourself is NOT an option - no matter how much the depression screams at you that it is.

DepressionIndiaOnline is created for people like us to support each other along the road to 'wellness'. It is here to help us through the long dark days and night and to get better.
