I'm struggling today

My mind has been in overdrive, and I'm feeling more lobely and depressed than I have in a while. Maybe it's the weather playing tricks on me. All I know is that the suicidal thoughts are back in force (although I'm not actually at risk).

I have seen you write about this before and I am glad your open about the feelings and thoughts and aware enough to not act on them.
I know some people, not you, that do it for the attention.
But I give each one just as much attention as if they were in danger of doing something bad.
You just never know who you can help with a shared experience.
I have horrid depression but not the suicidal kind any more.
One thing that helped huge lately was vitimine D3.
Turns out that people where I live don't get much sun because the weather is more over cast than clear. That in turn helps make depression more common and worse.
I guess the sun takes calcium and turns it into D3 and that makes us happy. :-)

Also, while we are talking about it, I don't know if you are being seen professionally, but there is no need to suffer this much. There, even tho it comes with it's own problems, tons of medication to help. There is no shame in taking meds.
Like I say, I don't know if that applies here but I treat all the same when it comes to this topic.
Hope something there could help.

@Dainbramadge thanks. I can't afford therapy and there's no free ones around me currently.

@KiwiDan Dang Dan. That's really a bummer.
You could always go and not pay and hope they turn your unpaid bill over to a collection agency and then it goes away in six years. Just a thought.
Well I am no therapist but I have seen quit a few.
If you need to talk about this kind of stuff, I do have years of feeling those things under my belt.
Some times having someone who shares your same issues to just vent to can be helpful.
I hope the best for you and like I said PM me if you want to talk more about it.
