Did you know the annual age-adjusted suicide rate is 13.5 per 100,000 individuals. Men die by suicide 3.57x more often than women. On average, there are 123 suicides per day. Imagine the kind of pain, despair, and grief these victims families and friends must endure. Not only that, but imagine the pain of the victim before taking their own life.
A smile, a simple "hello, how are you," a hug, or a helping hand could drive someone away from committing suicide. What you do matters!
Most people who consider suicide don't really want to die, they just don't know how to cope with or eliminate the pain they are going through. If you know someone who is suicidal or you are suicidal yourself, getting professional assistance and learning suicide prevention strategies can be of significant help.
Suicide is NOT the answer to your problems. Please, if you are suicidal, dial the National Suicide Prevention Hotline number. You are NOT ALONE. You are loved.

That quote may or may not have made me cry...
I struggle with depression, Today is a good day, but last night was just so shit and I felt worthless and almost did it...
I've lost 2 friends last year to suicide and I never stop thinking about them and how much a miss them.. I wish they were able to talk to someone.. even me.. Suicide.. it's really never the answer... I'll say this now, but when i get into a depressive episode... i'd probably have that thought in my head.. I don't have anyone to talk to so.. yeah.. But i'm always open to help people and make sure they're happy so feel free to text me if you feel down helping always makes me happy ( Want to be a paramedic can't stand sitting behind a desk xc )
I'm trying to find new coping methods each day! I suggest people do too!
I'd like to add

7 cups is a free place to go talk to someone who cares! i've used it before and it helps so much <3
and Calm harm is really helpful if you self harm... I used to do it a lot and my thighs are covered in faded scars.. but calm harm has so much exercises on there in case you think of doing it!!!
You do have a purpose! people do care about you!

Thanks for the awareness! I've been suffering from depression since 2012, I've tried taking my life before but failed back in 2013! But it's massively improved over the last couple of years. I've had tremendous support from family and friends and I'm expecting a baby with my partner in April. Everyone should know that when you feel so low that you feel like nothing's worth living for, just remember that life will improve!!

Not to take away from your post or anything of the sort, this post is great. But I made one myself a few months back.

Just in case you want to add any of the sites over in that post to yours.

These posts are great. I used to go into my old high school and middle school to talk to kids who are going through a rough time.
I'll extend myself here as well. If ANYONE feels depressed or suicidal and feels they have no one to talk to. Reach out to me, I may not respond right away but I will talk to you and try and help you get through this.
