I have just found this site and already don’t feel so alone , I am 40 years of age and my first thought of suicide occurred in primary school , iv had several failed attempts , needless to say its been a long haul . Once again I am contemplating taking my own life , and thanks to the internet I am reasonably sure I have found a sure fire way  and possibly some people to discuss my thoughts with . Its always been a lonely position to be in , suicidal that is , and I believe that just makes things worse .
Life has always been hard , cant say I am the worst of person I know , im not the best of  either . From an early age my life has just been surrounded by tragic loss , loss that has continued steadily all the way through , loss for what ever reason I have not been able to deal with . My Mother murdered at 24 years of age my uncle at 26 and it just goes on , born into the wrong family I suppose . Now at 40 after 3 years of fighting in court to have access to see my 3 children with little success I have about given up all hope .
Again know a lot of other people have it harder and often seem to do life reasonably well but for whatever reason I have not , and im just tired of it and want it all just to end . I wish by some divine way I could just give my life away , I often hear of horrific stories  children dying in accidents that just make me sad , if their is a God I can certainly not understand his ways , in many of ways I should have been dead but am not .
I have read a few posts on this site by those that have been to me still very young , if by chance you are reading mine , as contradictory as may seem I encourage you to hold on at least bare minim until you get out of your teens . I wont go on about my life but I will say even the psychiatrists and psychologists I have seen have been amazed how I coped at all . Despite every thing their have been some good times , I at times have taken great enjoyment from my work , had 3 beautiful children and fell in love with a woman that was just everything I could ask for in a person . I an not telling you its going to get better for some it just never seems to , but for others it does , iv seen the best of things happen to those in situations that have just looked hopeless . Take my cousin for example , Father dead at 26 mother a heroin addict and prostitute leaves him at a very early age , made a ward of the state for years before being adopted out , thieving in his teens , jail , addict , about given up on life when he meets his now wife , a young pastor at a local church , they now have 4 children and are verily happily married .

It was very helpful to me for awhile, as well.
Depression has a habit of making you feel very isolated and alone, and this site does offer a sense of comfort in seeing so many others going through the same thing.
It does become a little redundant and self-defeating after awhile, though, if what you are looking for is to overcome your suicidal ideation and move on with your life.
This will actually be my last day coming on here. I believe that this website has served its purpose for me, and now it is time for me to continue on with my life, wherever it may take me.
I hope that this site is beneficial to you as well.
Oh, and welcome (sorry forgot my manners).
Welcome,
we are here for you
