Kathy,
I can understand about the trauma of divorce, of the feelings of loneliness, being uncared for. I went through that 2 years ago and it hit really hard, just like you are saying.I think suicidal thoughts (I have them, too) are about getting relief from the pain. But, you make a good point: what if you don't succeed? Then it could be even worse. That idea has occurred to me also.
Right now you are probably overwhelmed with grief, and despair. I encourage you to find some help like counseling, or one of the A's (AA, NA, Wa, CODA) to help you through this time.
You do not need to be alone through this. There are many people on this board who will help you, "sit" with you through the hardest times, share advice or just let you know they care. There are good people here and probably most of them have been where you are now emotionally.
Keep writing us. Write every ten minutes. Every five minutes. You will be so welcome. And if you stop, people will miss you. This is a good, safe place to be.
Tell us more. Shar
> I have just been recently divorced and been thinking about suicide every day it isn't even funny. Ihave no one here to care about me and my husband has gone and I have just given up so that is it. I came on line to see how many lorazepam pills I have to take with ethanol to really knock me out. Now isn't that sick. I absolutely have no more hope. I have tried everything. All I have ever wanted was Love.I accidentely found this babble chat area and now see that so many people are thinking about suicide . Iam just scared that it won't work and I'll wake up after many days and find that Iam still here but then it would be worse. I can't do anything. I wish God would help because Iam a good person inside. I hate feeling so desperate and needing someone. You all out say a small prayer for me tomorrow......
