can anyone help me.  I took an overdose a few months ago and wish I had died. I keep thinking about killing myself and then give myself more time hoping it will all be ok soon.
My husband got the sack from his job through something really stupid and he wrote a statement admitting it (foolishly) and I can’t get this out of my head that he would still have a job. I told him not to do it but he wouldn’t listen. I think about this every day and the only way I can see to rid myself of these thoughts is to kill myself but I love my children so much and I know it would hurt everyone and this has stopped me. This has been going on for 4 months and I don’t think I can live with this and these thoughts of what I should have done to stop all this. I am on anti depressants and I have people to visit me to talk to but the thoughts won’t go away.
My friends have been very good and my husband seems to accept it. Well he has to but I feel so suicidal all the time as it keeps going over and over in my head.

Sorry to hear you are so sad. Try to give things some time before you do anything drastic, would probably be the best advice any of us could give you. Most all of us who visit this site are struggling with the temptation to quit life. It seems to help to know other people identify with your situation. People have been kind on this site to give positive feedback, so I hope you will receive some comfort here. I’m also a mom who keeps trying to hang in there for the sake of not hurting my children. If you feel like it would help, you could email me: ndigolily@gmail.com. At the very least just give things more time. God bless.
i am deeply sorry but you need to keep at life for your childeren keep a close watch over there mental health my mother took an overdose and it tore me up inside i have serious rage problems now you need to be carefull and see for the signs if you shout at your childeren and they clench a fist tell them to sit down in a calm voice and explain to them that you love them and make sure they know it and that they keep out of trouble if they fly off the handle t any point and tell you you have no authority hold them there untill you have finished telling them you brought them into the world and you intend to make sure they stay safe and happy throughout
if they look tearfull if ever you shout at them give them a hug and again tell them that you love them
if ever they bring up the events that have passed tell them the truth you wanted to die dont try and hide it tell them the only reason you are stll alive is because you diddnt want to miss them growing up
