YOU; ARE, LOVED!!
When debt leading to multiple never ending troubles n interlink with severe depression ,nobody can help..the only way is to end it all
I cannot bare this pain! My family, Friends tells me how much i matter, i don't care.
I keep betraying Myself!, and do foolish mistakes/thing's that ruined ALL aspects of myself. I quit my sports, my hobbies!.. they were so important to me. I FOOLISHLY retired from my career job!!! because someone said i earned it.!..???? Now , i lost more! Purpose, identity, social interactions , coworkers, friends, security etc…!!! and im alone. How stupid!! I just hate myself, !!
Now suffer from Stress, Anxiety, insomnia, and depression. My Mental and physical health are declining, my eyesight, my hair, my weight loss and skin…. it like im on auto destruction.
I struggle with desperate feelings too, it’s very scary

I really don’t feel my life can get better. I’ve tried so
Many times
Wow, you are such an amazing person Marisa! I feel your compassion for this important subject.. This is much needed right now I know first hand unfortunately because I
feel very alone struggling for decades. I would love to heal but every time I think I find something that may help me I quickly learn I cannot participate because I cannot afford it . I am praying for a miracle please God I do not want to suffer alone anymore like this. Depression,Ptsd the works.
Thank you. This helped a lot. Im happy to hear her laugh again.
How wonderful!!! Such an insightful video.., thank you so much for taking the time and sharing this empowering information. By any chance are you available to work with someone in great need ?
In the saddest way, I think I’m the only one who has ever said to my boyfriend that what he was feeling was valid and that I need him. He started crying. I love him and I just wanna help.
The pain doesn't end for everyone stop telling people that because you don't truly know
I feel like i can't reach my friend. I feel so helpless.
I found this educative and helpful
I usually agree with you but here I don’t. Some people are suicidal because of irreversible decisions and unchangeable situations. It’s not about burdening anyone or wanting to matter to someone. It’s about being deeply unhappy, with no fulfilment and a deep pain and soul crushing burden every waking and even sleeping moment.
This is incurable for some, and that is why they want to die.
What is the solution for that person?
Not everyone who wants to die is depressed. I think this is the real issue, we pass off anyone who wants to die with a “depressed” brush, simplifying why some people want to end it all. Death is the only option for some people to relive suffering that has no other remedy.
Depression and stress can really destroy a lot of things in a person
One of my friends is severely depressed and I felt so helpless. This helped so much, you are a true hero

Thank you for these great thought and positive backups of this do to do. I have a suicidal member of my family. I didn't know how bad things were till yesterday. I watched this and I'm going to watch more before I see him tomorrow.
Thanks for this upload even it's not the original poster.💖
Thank you Marisa <3
I NEED HELP PLS I have a Family member that has done it, not once but twice. They found him laying down by god grace or luck they found him on time, and brought him back. I need help to find the way to help him I need to find the words to talk to him, pls anyone his only 18.
Thankyou very much. This helped me alot. Dealing with someone very close to me at high risk.
Currently feel all of this. But never got to the point where I would kill myself. I Feel like running away, I feel like no one would care anyway. But definitely have the feeling of severe loneliness that's what living by yourself for 11years does to you, of desperately wanting a child and feeling like I could miss that chance nearly 36, of feeling like no one understands or sympathises with me over how I feel. Feeling like no one has time for me not even my own family. I suffer with social anxiety also which isn't great.
This is a great video but not everyone does have a future. No matter what anyone says, there may be no way out from what their life has become.
I have set an exit date. I found nembutal online and will order it next month. After I get my affairs in order I’m thinking May 2022 will be my last month on the planet, thank God. I just want to go to sleep and never wake up. My life has become unbearable. People should think twice before opening their mouths and saying hateful things. It’s very difficult to live with a label, being ostracized and gossiped about behind your back by your own family.
heres the thing, im not even kidding, i've been helping other people with this for almost 2 years and rn i've done pretty much all of this with my gf, she isnt depressed but she has suicidal thoughts on a daily basis(also she self harms) HOW IN THE FUCK DO I HELP SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN RAPED OVER 15 TIMES, BEATEN UP, CHEATED ON by someone she loved? pls im really curious, im desperate in need of help, im so fkin broken and lost in this situation, if anyone is reading this, i wish you everything the best
I will start again or find some other inspiration, because that seems to be how life works. I hope, I get lost, I find my way, then the path disappears again, and I just have to keep looking. Success and happiness come in small pieces, surrounded by struggle and plenty of failure. Accepting that and moving forward may get me to a good place again… I hope…❤️
We are all insignificant and alone. There is no hope.
Am surprised am watching this I am having exactly what she is saying
I've exhausted my options. I have a severe sleep issues. Cannot falland stay asleep. I have tried everything over the counter, RX , meditation hypnosis. Over 6 months I live on my couch. Cannot make plans BC I never know how I will be and cannot work. My life is over I have the right to not suffer . It's my life to end. I can't take it anymore. I am a burden in my family and useless to society. I can't afford RTT. If you're rich, then good for you. You get help. Thankfully I have a way out. I cannot be saved.
True. No one knows exactly how another person feels. It’s worse than physical pain. Pure agony.
I trying jumping from a bridge 3 weeks ago. I got stopped by police and a suicidal prevention unit. Got held in a hospital for a day and then sent home. Boyfriend doesn't know how to help. Nothing has changed. I regret not jumping when I had the chance.
Please help he’s not responding to my calls or texts
Hi. Any advice. I have a friend who keeps asking money to help him. If I don't give him money he threatens to kill himself. I stopped giving him money when I realized he cannot even help himself and give me threats that he will kill himself. And use the sentence so your last words you can't help me. I really tried to be a good friend.
Be present for someone else!

"you're better off without me" is the last thing I heard from a friend who has been suicidal for several years. He is still around but haven't heard from him in over a year. I'm not sure how to reconnect with him, except say "I'm here for you if you need me"
What if the person is so extremely difficult that you just can’t help because he or she won’t allow any help? How can you help under this situation?
