9 years ago I attempted suicide by overdosing was found unconcious 2 days later and woke up in hospital,then transferred to a mental health facility for 2 days .I guess they let mr out because I didnt have insurance,it was an impulsive attempt, Im a 56 yr old female now ,lost my job and am about to become homeless on tuesday, the old thoughts have come back ,im terrified of becoming homeless and all I can think of is ending it now,im afraid to fail at this again, but i feel i have no way out of this mess.

Sometimes I want to kill myself now so I don’t have to suffer later in life.
I’m sorry about your situation and I hope you are able to find some sort of help. Somewhere to stay.
I feel for you. I’m a 54 year old woman and I can’t imagine being without a place to call my own. I’m sorry for your situation.
Damn, I know how you feel. I wish I could tell you to calm down and it will be alright. It’s really hard to think clearly when you are under this kind of stress. I would take what you absolutely need that you can take with you. I would post an ad on Craigslist to see if someone could take you in. I know it sounds crazy but i found places to stay mainly because of the internet. The only reason I’m not homeless is bc I was able to get help from strangers I met through various social media. If u can sign up for PayPal people can send you money but u have to find a way to reach out for help. I will look up some sites where u might be able to get help and send them to you. In times like this you absolutely have to ask for help and swallow your pride and be honest. What city are u in?
I’m in Greenville SC
Thanks so much for responding to me it means a lot.
There is one thing called surfcouching. You can spend some nights on the couch of someone for free.
Generally travellers use it. But you should take a look.
Try a shelter too. In a church or from the government.
But if you really want to die you can. 56 isnt too soon. You have lived a lot until 56 and have the right to die if you decide for that.
Sorry I cant help more.
You can be helped, there’s shelters and what not to go to. If you were facing life in prison then I’d understand using death to avoid that but yours isn’t a life sentence. 56 isn’t old, you are the best mind and spirit you can be at your age. If you choose to kill yourself which i hope you dont, make sure you don’t end up damaged worse. 76 is old not 56 so age is no reason here. I’m looking to die at 36 I wish I could see life into 50s happy and healthy but that is out of the question
I am a 52 yr old man. I now live with 3 people in a house. Strangers really. I dont really leave my bedroom. Definitely a step down, but it is safe. I am unemployed, and looking. Been thinking of just taking off just to feel alive again. But I dont. I hope you find a safe place to stay. Im in Dallas, TX so I am not aware of shelters, etc.
