Nebeska I feel sorry for what you're going through.

I went through a period of severe disillusion and shock too for some time, due to the WT.

Please know that it does get better. You have my cyber support and I send you a hug!

Perfect, look forward to it!

(((( B the X )))) Billy, I am so very glad you did not go through with ending your life.

I do understand these feelings, but suicide is a nasty, permanent solution to a temporary problem.

NN, not sure I can add much more to what everyone else has already said so I have a question for you.

What do you enjoy doing? What gives you joy and lifts you up? Please tell us.

Band on the Run

Please google hot line suicide and you will be able to instantly speak with someone competent.

I can't tell you if you are having suicidal ideation or actual impulses. Briefly, I was on the verge of suicide for decades with agoningizing facial pain with a 95% suicide rate. I was obsessed. I vidvidly recall visiting my dentist in a famous 60s sitcom building, Family Affair. The TV repp made it abisurb that real life was happening. My heart pounded. I wanted the courage to walk onto fast moving traffic in 6th Avenue. My analytic mind stopped me. I went to a payphone to call the NYPD for help. Somehow I thought the police would not be gentle moms. The thought of going to Bellevue seemed worse than death.

If you ask for help and you did here, people will help. I never liked people not in my shoes to judge my suicide. 95% or more kill themselves for a rational reason. I just could not without understanding why. Primarily, I did not want to die but to live abundantly.

Talking about your feelings and impulses helps. I was hospitalized with depression voluntarily many times during the illness. It was not fun, but I was alive. Decades passed. My mom would come with me almost nightly to psychc ers or ministers, priests that I would visit just to get through th enight when things seemed darkest. I was determined to live abundantly or die trying. My father abused me severely within JWs. I was very isolated. Self-esteem was not good. Talk, if someoone isn't available, talk to someone else. Antidepressants don't cure your problems but they are night and day in helping to cope.

There is a sophsticated system to help people in this country without censure or punishment. Repeatedly, I have read to always take someone seriously. They are not grandstanding. The closer you are to closer concrete plans, call for help. I never left the optin of suicide off the table. My coping was to say not yet, one more night. Most suicides are impuslive, a permanent solution to a temporary problem. After decades, a new treatment emerged and I became pain free. Life is blessed now with its burdens.

Acknowledging pain is essential. Sometimes you can join a support group of others contemplating suicide. I found other suicidal pain sufferers the most articulate and eloquent. Doctors were very helpful but never walked the walk. Postponiing a day at a time can get you through. Please let us know how you are doing. Jesus promised us tribulatoin, not wealth and fame. He is present with us. Every hour, I thought that my God endured the cross. Unlike that rascally Jehovah, Jesus knew all lthe tears, the body torn asunder to death. He was present with me in my sufferiing. Besides this strand, I also was damn angry that he would not use a magic wand for me.

If you have time, I suggest Viktor Frankl, The Meaning of Suffering, from a concencration sufferer, and Jung, The problem of JOb and the full text of Job itself. C.S. Lewis, famous for Mere Christianity, wrote two books on suffering. The Problem of Pain, written by someone preaching who has never faced true pain, that I abhor, and A Grief Observed, written in staggering pain after his wife's death. C.S. illustrates what I describe as too facile and then in A Grief, the actuality of pain.

Feel free to pm me.
