My life has just been as if I am being punished for just living in this world. I am thinking about the suicide word but I love my God so I want to live with him in heaven. I have been doing a lot of thinking lately and want to leave the people in my life for a little while. I was thinking at least 3 weeks but I would have to take my older dog with me plus I have no where to go and that is my problem, I just want to be without stress for that amount of time. I feel that my love has died in my body, so it's time to move on this situation. Any advise for me in what to do to help my depression? Don't want to discuss this with family. I was thinking about talking to my pastor but what is he to do! What to do?

Who wouldn't want to live in heaven smile.

Seriously, we are here to live our lives. If you need a break definitely take one. Go to a nice quiet place by the ocean, or a river. Take your dog (there are pet friendly places) and relax for a while.

Sometimes it seems daunting to get away. We get locked into routines and patterns.

Just go!

All the best.

Hi Maggie,

I agree with Ambling, take some time for yourself. Go to a motel or something for a few days or a week. We all get stressed and we all need a break.

Hang in there, maybe talk to a therapist??? I go tomorrow, it really helps.

Hugs, Karen...

Maggie, I know that you have had a lot to deal with for awhile, especially getting proper care for crohns disease. That alone is enough to depress a person, add other stressful factors in, well it can be overwhelming.

Please take care of you, try to go somewhere away from everything & everyone for a couple of days. If you are not on anything for depression, I urge you to get to your dr asap.

Hi maggiern~

Do talk to your pastor. They are very good at counseling and I'm sure they hear from many people who live with depression. There is help out there for you. Also, if your feelings are strong about taking your own life PLEASE call you local help-line. They are in the front of your phone directory, I believe.

Also, is there someone in your life you love or who loves you? You do make a difference in others lives and I mean that in a good way. Eighteen years ago I lost my 23 year old son to depression. He took his own life. My life has never been the same since. I keep going, talk to my doctor about it, take medication for depression but there's a huge void in my heart that will never heal. The people around you likely feel the same way if you were gone. You may not feel the love each day but it's there. Every time I share this with someone I still end up in tears - that's what its done to me.

Please get help with your depression. I don't want this to happen to your or your family.

Warmly,
Chutz

It is hard in this virtual world when we come in contact with some one so troubled, being in a place so many of us have been.

Please respond and let us know how you are.

These dark times do pass, I promise.

Peace and strength

Thank you for that. It's a powerful statement, if only its essence can break through the numbing pain...
