Hello,
to be honest i dont know if i have depression or major stress, suppose they go hand in hand. Just cant cope just now, well been a while lol. tried to manage it myself but i dont think its working, yes have those thoughts of dying, nearly every day now, its not nice. I have a 7 year old son who needs me so much, and i love him so much. I just want it all to go away, get back to being me, i feel such a failure.

Hi Lee43, welcome to Sf's.. yes depression and stress work all too well hand in hand.. therapy with a good therapist and the correct medication have helped me an awful lot.. just something to consider.. take care, Jim

Hi Lee43,

Welcome to SF. I havent been where you are right now, all i can say is my dad was where you were and he left us in July. I can honestly say, even at 29years of age, i NEED my dad. But now he is gone, please please talk to someone about how your feeling, i'd hate for your lovely little one to go through what i am now.

Please dont suffer alone like my dad did.

Hello Lee, and welcome to SF.
I know how that feels, feeling hopeless but knowing your kids need you. Mine keep me here, and as hard as it is to admit, sometimes I almost resent them for that, but they are my whole world and I can't imagine ever leaving them without me, even if I feel at times that they would be better off if I were gone.
I remember seeing my mother suffering from depression and it hurt me, but I don't let that scare me into doing anything rash because, I am not my mother :) I just have to keep reminding myself of that.
If you ever need a chat, I'm here for you.
