Gumdrop's Story
I read this once helped me Gumdrop hang in the fog always lifts.
Please talk to a counselor about your problems, nothing is bad enough to be worth taking your own life.
If you are at the point where you really feel it's better to die than to go on living, then you have hit bottom, and once you hit bottom, there's really no place else to go but up. So what have you got to lose by staying for the ride back up? You have far, far more to gain by going up, and absolutely nothing to lose by taking that trip back up, to the place where your life can be happy and fulfilling.
If your life is at a place where suicide seems better than going on, think about some very important things. Life can turn from horrible to wonderful in a very short period of time. Your life, whether you know it today or not, has a positive impact on someone. It might be your family, your friends, your co-workers, your neighbors... there is someone that knows you in a way that you can't see.
Suicide is permanent... there's no turning back. The deep feelings you have today will be different tomorrow; regardless of how down you feel, you'll have something tomorrow that can, if you let it, make you feel better. Our problems are often so great, so real and feel so devastating that leaving life behind seems like the only answer. But it's not an answer. It leaves many, many questions for anyone we leave.
Please sleep. Please cry hard, if you must, and talk to someone who loves you. But please, also, put the idea of making a permanent end to what could be temporary problems out of your head. Every life has purpose. Every single life. Please try to find yours before thinking about killing yourself.
No matter how bad it is right now, it can only get better- when you are down try doing something nice for someone else. It sounds a little lame but it works, scientifically it's called a helper's high. It gets your mind off depressing things and

Gumdrop's Story
Gumdrops i read this once in a desparate moment ...it helps to take a deep breath ....
Suicide is almost always the end result of untreated depression. Depression is a medical illness that radically alters your brain chemistry and your ability to accurately percieve reality. Get it treated!
2. Suicide is denying yourself the love and life experiences you deserve!
3. Suicide as a result of despair stemming from trauma or abuse is letting your abusers WIN. DON'T LET THEM WIN!
4. Even if you can't think of ANY reason to live, remember; you're going to die eventually anyway. Why rush it?
5. Most people who attempt suicide and live are glad (sometimes many years later) they did not die.
6. Suicide Attempts can leave you paralyzed, brain damaged, or worse.
7. Even if you believe no one loves you (or you have no support at this point in your life) people out there DO care. Your soulmate or best friend is waiting to meet you!
8. Suicidal despair is TEMPORARY. Get to an ER or clinic if you feel acutely suicidal.
9. Medication can help control depression and despair. In extreme cases, Electroconvulsive therapy can help (as scary as it sounds). Read "Undercurrents" by Martha Manning.
10. If you commit suicide, somebody will have to find you and deal with your body. This is traumatic for most people, as most people DO care about others.

Gumm drops YOU are a wonderful person in a difficult situation I have been where you are i dont pretend to say we are the same but the conclusion is always the same i read this once hope it helps ...YOU are a very special person dont extiguish that flame of life you have.
If you’re reading this, there is at least a small part in you that doesn’t want to die. Listen to it, and please read on.
Suicide is final – once it's done, there’s no changing your mind. Since you have even the slightest of doubts, you owe it to yourself to stay alive.
You can always kill yourself later, why not wait? Even if you wait just one day, you may find a reason not to kill yourself in the meantime.
If you’re feeling suicidal, you’re probably in more pain than you know how to handle. There are ways to reduce the pain, and ways to learn to deal with pain. You can learn both - either way things will get better.
Just because you’re feeling suicidal doesn’t mean you have to act on that feeling.
Consider this – if you’re trying to escape from the pain you are in and seek relief, suicide is not the answer. You cannot feel relief, or anything else for that matter, if you are dead. You must stay alive in order to feel the relief you seek.
Often when feeling suicidal you feel alone. You are not alone – you found us didn’t you? Turn to your family or friends or a priest or a rabbi – anyone that will listen. If you don’t know whom to turn to, use the links on the right-hand side of this page to find resources that can help.
By terminating your life right now, you terminate your future. Consider this – we create our own future. You have the power to create whatever future you wish for yourself. But you need to be alive in order to have that future.
If you’re sensitive enough to be in so much pain that you no longer want to live, you’re probably sensitive enough to care about, and want to help others. Maybe you don’t feel like helping anyone else right now, but why not help yourself? And perhaps by not killing yourself and overcoming your difficulties you can later help someone else who is in a similar situation.
Finally, don’t do it because I’m personally asking you not to. THINGS GET BETTER. please gummy stay and talk or just pick up the phone you dont realise how many people love you
