    We urge you to contact a local suicide crisis hotline if you are having suicidal thoughts. Please know that there are people who have faced the same hardships that you are facing, and can help. It gets better.

      I still do sometimes. I have attempted taking my own life once before and i am sorry for what you had to go through. Its not easy at all to express how you feel or to confine to some one. I really felt your stance and i can say i know how you or your son felt but i can say that i have bottled so much over the years and it lead me to sin and suicide. Thank you for this video

    As a teenager I tried to commit suicide. I acted out, no one noticed my sunny behaviour change. Back then it wasn't discussed. I'm now heading towards 70. All I needed was someone to hear me & help. Thankyou for all you do. Condolences for your Son.

      God bless you and the fact you made it to see 70. I am 39 and have suffered with severe depression off and on sincerity my teens but it's mostly been minor. Right mow I'm majorly depressed and it's sad because you don't have to be a teenager for your family not to listen and to feel as if no one cares which is due to the fact we always need family an friendship (I sadly don't have) but I'm wiser and older enough now to lay EVERYTHING down and tell my family what it is and is going to be.

      I’m a teenager, and tried to commit suicide several times in several places. I’ve faced a lot of things, but I’ve never faced love of my parents. My parents never told me “I love you, I’m proud of you,”. They’ve never had a deep conversation with me that would’ve helped me to trust them. I’m not talking to them. Everyday I come home I go into my room directly. I lock myself in and don’t leave for hours, and when I leave it’s just for eating something. Every time they’re having a family time with my brother I don’t join them. Cause I don’t feel safe near them. I get anxious, I get stressed when I’m with them. I don’t feel ok or good with them. I don’t think this is the way a child should feel near their parents. I really tried to talk to them, but because I don’t feel safe and listened I just can’t. They’ve never let me to go alone somewhere and be with my friends alone. They never let me to go to parties or change something in my life if I want to. They never let me do anything that would help me feel better, cause they don’t like it (Color my hair, do rearrangement, buy new things for room and other stuff). Every time I hear other other people telling me that “ oh, I told everything that happened to my parents” or “I trust and love my parents so much they’re so good” I want to cry. Cause I know that I’m not able to say those words by heart, or just say them as a real thing. That what makes me feel sad. In my every birthday when I blow the candles I make a wish. And that wish is “ I wish my parents will understand me and be very good with me, I wish I’ll have a good relationship with them”. Writing it in tears.

    I was suicidal, I was so close to ending it all because I felt like a failure, I hadn’t failed before, not at that scale, I was 24. growing up I was given the best of everything a middle class child could get, I didn’t spend a lot of time with my dad because he was always busy with business, my dad was this perfect picture of what a man was to me. Lucky for me he was there when he’d found out what I was going through, my family helped too. I found purpose again, depression changed me, I think I’m a lot stronger mentally, I just turned 26 and still striving for success while enjoying the moment.

      I am glad for you. I wish I could say the same. I am 26 and I am failing like I've never had in my life. I have everything a middle child could ask for. I am in therapy. My mother tries to talk to me regularly. My father is hardly presnet in my life. I feel like I have no purpose. I hardly care about taking care of basic jeeds like eating, brushing teeth, taking showers. I am either in a constant state if emotional suffeeing or numbing myself with youtube. I am suicidal on a daily basis. I told both of my parents that I amsuicidal daily. My mother tries but she can't stop herself from giving me pieces of advice... These are good pieces of advice, but I feel like she's asking something of me on top of me being on a constant stress and I can't bear listening to these. I told my father I have daily suicidal thoughts and he told me that We all have battles that we can't escape. Why? Why not? He said that while driving me to a train station and it's like the only time we spoke about it in 2 months. Not a single telephone from him. I don't want to blame them, I know they're trying, but on the same time I can't help feeling hurt and abandoned. I am sad. I am in therapy and I don't think there is hope for me. Maybe I am just meant to die and that all there is to it.

I have several friends who I love dearly that struggle with depression and I would be shattered if they took their lives.
      You don't need to be perfect. It is not your fault that you feel this way. You don't have to 'get or be better' somehow in order to deserve to be loved. Just do what you can, when you can.
      My friends have said that when they are at their worst moments, they feel like everyone would be better off if they were gone. That will never be true. You cannot sink so low that your life does not have value. Your life will always have value. I'm rooting for you.

And we always used to share our school experience everyday , even if we got scolding from teachers (if we did a mistake ) , we would tell her. My mother listens to them till now , Im 16+ now 😀 , it really helped me . I became really depressed during my early teen age years when I was 11 or 12 , because of bullying . My mom really helped me to overcome this 😭😭😭 I love her so much 😀❤️
      My message is that asking these questions from your kids will really make a deep bond between both of you . May you stay happy always and remain healthy . You are the best mom ever ✨

And only blind can’t see that things are not fine with me. But we all pretend that everything is fine. Talk to your kids. But never attack them for their feelings.

      But I learned this: you are never alone and the way someone abuses you, even if it's your roots, it is THEIR calling card, not yours. They aren't strong enough to deal with themselves and think they need to make someone small to release frustration. All that abuse is one huge lie and we all deserve better.
      Your father was broken before you came into the picture, and he didn't fix himself, and neither did the adults before or around him. We can only move forward and learn from that.

    My brother took his own life and from that moment on, our lives were and are never the same again.
    My story though is a lot different from the majority of suicide stories. Michael wasn’t depressed … on the contrary, he was always so happy go lucky , in fact his nickname was ‘smiler’ by his friends & colleagues. Michael was a policeman and absolutely loved his job , he was so proud to be part of the police force. He was the youngest of us 4 siblings and was such a good looking young man. He had a partner and 2 young children. We didn’t know it at the time, but he & his partner were going through a rough patch. She was a bit run down and hadn’t wanted sexual relations with him for the past 4 months. Things went on and he had to train a young police cadet, which meant they were together 8/10 hours a day. I’m not justifying in any way what happened next but not getting any affection at home probably caused what happened … he started to ‘think he had ‘ feelings for her … she was definitely coming onto him …
    She started to text him … he wasn’t one to text much anyway but one morning while he was having a shower his phone got a message and his partner heard it. She read it … it was the girl saying thanks for the dinner the day before and that she missed him.
    My SIL went loopy and told him to get his things & leave. She called their kids , boy of 7 & girl nearly 3, and told them daddy didn’t love them anymore.
    My mum called me saying Michael was at hers and was in a state.
    I spoke to him …. This was 4/5 hours before he committed suicide … he told me he hadn’t been unfaithful at all yet … but that he had feelings for this girl …
    In the meantime my SIL put it all on FB and then phoned him saying she was gonna phone his chief and tell him about the ‘story’ between him & the girl , and to ‘be ready to lose his job because when they found out it would be instant dismissal ‘
    Just before he left my mum’s, he received a text from the girl saying you must ‘deny deny deny’ … that she didn’t want to lose her post with the police … and that she didn’t really have feelings for him … it was to pass her course.
    Shortly after, Michael was banging his head against the door and saying he had made the worst mistake ever. After some time he then left and got in his car. Mum asked him if he was ok and he said yes. That was the last she saw him alive. He shot himself in nearby woods.
    My brother wasn’t depressed. Drs say he had a brainstorm … 🤷‍♀️
    All I know is we lost our baby brother. He was 37.
    In his right mind, he would never have done what he did. A few months beforehand, his friend took an overdose of pills. He was devastated and said “ poor bloke … he’s left 3 small children… how come?? “
    I miss you Michael

      I'm so sorry for your loss. I struggle with suicidal thoughts myself. It took me until I was in my 30s to be able to tell my mother. At least in my case it's often hard to even talk when I'm at that point. I've been to levels where I was to screwed up to kill myself. With that being said please don't blame yourself. Depression is an illness. And his suicide was no more your fault or his then if he had a heart attack in the middle of the night and wasn't able to seek help in time. And for anyone else reading this keep this in mind. One of the most dangerous times for a depressed person is right when they start feeling better. It can take a long time to fully come out of an depressive episode. If they don't pull it together quick enough their negative emotions often turn the returning energy towards self harm.

      @@TheRingmasteR23 I’m sorry to hear that and we are complete strangers, but every life matters. People will listen-if they don’t, I know I will. For whatever reason, don’t throw your life away, it’s a privilege and a journey. Things will get better if you keep fighting. There’s so much left to explore and discover in this world. If you can’t continue living for yourself, choose to live for others. Whatever you’re going through must be miserable, but others around you may be going through something too. After having experienced being at your lowest point, strive to pick yourself back up in slow steps. You must be hoping there will be a ray of light-a person to take your hand and guide you, but one less person will be able to fill that role for someone else if you take your life. Avoidance does nothing, but perpetuate the never ending cycle of hopelessness. Anyways, I wish you and anyone who reads this success. Keep fighting to live. Many fight to survive, don’t waste this opportunity.

    They told me to just be strong
    Then they left and said goodnight
    I self medicated, I self harmed.
    Age 15 I was an alcoholic at its finest
    I did drugs and smoked. Bullied people, took my anger out in terrible ways.

      I would correct that to "I'm not fine but I don't feel comfortable talking about it with YOU". This guy hit the nail on the head. It's so important for parents to make themselves unapproachable to kids. My parents felt unapproachable. Judgemental. Constantly made me feel like if I opened up they would just emphasize how I failed to meet the expectations they set. Even now as an adult I struggle to be open with them, and have to remind and force myself to be, mainly because I have been fairly successful in my adult life and therefore there's nothing that they could possibly make me feel inadequate about. My stepsister took her own life though after battling an extremely hard period in her life. I feel like my parents failed her the way that this guy feels he failed his son.

      I am father of three young man 24,22,20... also a veteran with 25 years of service as a Special Forces operator, meaning I have seeing a lot. Here is my quote " we are not depressed, we are distracted ".... do something for yourself: write 10 things that you are very grateful, after you finish, think about it and put them on order, most important first and so on. Write that list on a piece of paper and put the paper by your bed, so when you wake up that is the first thing that you see. When you wake up, read, think and be grateful.....just by starting your day like that, the perspective is different, is a positive one.
      That paper is a working document , you can add more, you can change the position, etc, etc.
      I am currently on Afghanistan but you can reach me if you want.... just by telling where I am I can talk you that your problems are minimum compared to where I see around here, think about it.

The best way to get out of it is to find sincere and true friendships, people that respect you for who you are, no fake no pretend, because we need you, you are awesome and you matter. And I know you will say "but no one I know cares about me" well think this way: how can I know your existence? How can I find you? Get loud, get known, reach out, get out, We exist and we need you.

    This is why I didn't give up. I know my parents would cry so I didn't do it.
    Edit: Thank you so much for the 2.8k likes. I definitely don't deserve it. I'm not that brave to stay this long. For those who say that their parents are the reason why they wanted to give up, me too.
    My family is toxic, and pressure me into everything. I'm still alive for them because I knew it would break them up because I'm the eldest, and it is obvious that they don't know how to raise a child. It's hard to raise a child. Although I'd like to take my own life, I wouldn't want them to go through what I had to go through. If you don't have any good influences in your life, then cling to every single good influence in your life.
    I'm loosing all my reasons one by one, day by day. And unfortunately, my fear of pain in death is stronger than my will to die. So I'm still here after 7 months. I'm still in a low place, lower than before. In a way, I'm glad that I'm still here.

      @@elapse______2557 Most Arab parents put a lot of pressure on their kids thinking that the pressure will push them forth but what they don't realise is the amount of pressure that they put on the kid will only bury the kid deeper into the ground.
      Most of the Arab parents avoid talking about certain subjects hoping the kid would never know about, which adds to the kid's hunger of curiosity in terms would lead them to seek the knowledge from unknown untrusted bad resources, the kid later on finds themselves in a trap they didn't know they had fallen in and talking to the parents seems useless and they're only afraid that the parents would yell at them scold them ..etc. so the kid stays down in the hole all hopeless and have no one to turn to, whilst the parents think that everything is fine by avoiding the subjects that include: Suicide, LGBT+, Belief, Deppression, Anxiety, PTSD and the list goes on ...
      I'm grateful to have parents who are open minded enough to talk to me about theses things and show me the right way to deal with Sexual harassment, blackmailing, any type of harassment in general. I've seen many people around suffer from parents pressuring them and abusing them and it just hurts to see such a thing.
      I hope frome the bottom of my heart that you're okay :)

    My son attempted suicide at 14. This hit home hard. He thankfully failed his attempt and doing much better today at 16. But I never saw it, especially the night before he attempted. He was acting so happy. He even wanted us all to do a movie night together. The next morning in the hospital I asked him about it and he said something that will forever haunt me. He said, "I just wanted one last nice night together with you before I died." Please talk to your kids, even if they 'seem' okay, especially if their mood changes to positive when that's somewhat out of their normal behavior.

    I constantly encourage my nine year old son to keep being brave and tell me when he’s struggling. He’s in counselling at the moment, because he opened up to me about to how he’s been struggling with anger lately.
    If I am ever busy, and he wants to talk to me because he’s sad, I will always drop everything for him. The other day, I was meant to meet my friend in town but my son wanted to talk, so I was 2 hours late to meet my friend, who was beyond annoyed at me, but who cares.

      Even worse, many parents will instantly assume it's their fault and react badly because they themselves are extremely insecure/broken. They may blame the child or berate them/abuse them more. I personally know of two children in this situation. Sadly here in NZ, there's little I can do about it. Unless the child shows physical evidence of severe physical abuse, they won't remove the child from parental care. So they grow up abused with zero confidence and a history of self-harm if they survive at all. All I can do is try to offset their parental abuse with encouragement and support, and when they are old enough to be allowed to separate from a parent, support them getting onto their feet with no parent.

I took a risk once. When I was at my lowest. I’m so glad I did. I felt like nobody I knew cared about me and that when I died I would die having no friends. But what did see, was I took a risk, I opened myself up to a discord group one time, and it was a moment I still haven’t forgotten, because at the time I felt like I had nobody left. But they actually cared about me. People, who I had barely even talked to before, actually cared about me, they didn’t know who I was, what I looked like, or whether or not anything I was saying was true, but they helped me, encouraged me, and most importantly, they acknowledged me and listened. The internet is a wonderful thing because it has made humanity so much more connected than ever. We have grown to hate more, but we can empathize more too. Someone will listen to you, and if you need I can as well if you like.

It’s a common feeling for a dad to want to protect them from all harm, but there has to be a balance. I’m opposite in that I’m super emotional without being a snowflake. But I’m an artist and I have two little girls so I’m a different animal altogether lol.

    I once yelled at my dad that I didn't want to live anymore. He dropped down beside me, said "oh?" and just listened. Ever since that day we have talked about mental health, and 14 years later I am still alive. Because he was there. Listening ❤

      Well done for speaking up, letting others know you’re, or you were struggling. Life is a lot harder for some than it is for others, I’ve struggled for over 30yrs to keep the dark thoughts from taking over my mind.

      My dad isn't there for me, but that doesn't mean I'm lonely, I made up for the lost time with him by talking with my mother, but I never talked about my suffering, but if I do need her, I know she is there for me, she always will be, and I trust my mother to fulfill that roll 💜

    My older brother took his own life, he did two terms in Afghanistan and he was never the same. He used to talk to us a lot, I have 3 brothers, we would all huddle up and he would talk to us. How we need to help each other grow but no one looked at him and thought he had a problem, he had PTSD. He was always the strong one, always. I miss him a lot and it still hurts. I'm the eldest now and I constantly talk to my brothers. About little things and big things, whatever it is, I get a call before my mom and dad does. I make it a point I'm there for them. RIP Vince, I got our familys back now. See you in heaven.

    I’m so glad we have always been so open with our kids and blessed with the ability to connect with them. I know they still hold onto things but we deal with it. They are never alone in their fight and we just have to let them know.

    As a mom I share my things with my son all the time.
    It's very important for me to be his friend and part of his school life. He has personal space and freedom that when he doesn't want to be in his friendlist, I'm ok that time.
    I have shared many things and few things about my struggle and failure also.

      Stay strong man, but if you think you need help try your best to get some your own way. Don't force yourself in going with this pain all alone to keep the appearances like I do because you are too concerned about bothering others with your own personal life struggles and problems. Keep it up!

      I know how you feel friend. Life is just one disappointment after another. People judge me all the time. I have a dream career in mind but I have low self-esteem. I'm plagued everyday by the thought of any bad that could happen.
