I can't stop thinking about ending the pain for good. Is that horrible of me? I have two kids and a loving wife. I'm just tired of fighting this disease. I don't know how much more I can take. To be at peace is so appealing. Sorry to be a winer! I'm just struggling with the temptation. Thanks for listening!

Please be strong, for you wife and kids if not for yourself. I've found it helpful to call the crisis line when i'm in a state such as yours. Something about talking it over with another human puts it all in perspective. There's the ER if you're about to lose control. I know your wife and kids would be crushed to lose you so please do whatever is necessary to last out this crisis. It will pass.
Thanks for this!

When I felt this way years ago and didn't know what to do, I just walked into the ER. I just was done, but didn't want to hurt my family. Please reach out to a crisis line, a doctor, a close friend, 911, anyone. Please take care and fight for your life.
Thanks for this!

I don't believe that if you end your life you end up peaceful. Quite the opposite...you will have to deal with the issues you tried to escape. I know you might think you'll end the pain for good, but what if that's not true? It's not worth the risk, in my opinion.
Thanks for this!

Posting here is a positive step you've taken. I've had that same desire to end the pain but I couldn't be certain the pain would end with death, and it kept me from acting. Calling a crisis line or going to a hospital are both very good suggestions. Wishing you well.
Thanks for this!

Just putting this out there, my husband died last year from a drug overdose (not suicide as far as I can tell) and it's the absolute worst pain I've ever been in. It's gotten better but the ache is always there. If you ended your pain, you'd be bringing on unspeakable pain to your wife and kids. My son has to grow up without a father now and that just kills me.

I've been where you are but the thought of my family, especially my son now that my husband is gone, has kept me fighting. Hang on and it will get better. I've been in the blackest depressions and always come out of them. I can't see it when I'm in it but hope IS there.

Seriously, hang in there. It WILL get better.

I'm sorry for your loss! I hope you both are doing better! I plan on getting help. I just feel foolish even mentioning my problem to people, even though they are there to help. I feel like they think I just want attention.
