Welcome, I am so sorry such a horrible event has brought you here. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing you are not alone and we are all here for you when you need us or when you feel ready to share or have some one to just sit with you.

Hi. Welcome Matt. Take your time, look around, and don't hesitate to ask questions. The people here are so suportive.

Hi, and welcome. The people here are so amazing and so suportive.

My heart hurts for you. I hear you and i understand your struggles. I've often had those thoughts, not just from circumstances in recent months, but from a younger age. I thought alot about them until i married and had a child....and my husband followed through on thoughts of his own. I don't know you, but i'm proud of you for getting up, for showering, for eating, for writing this blog. For seeking help. For trying to keep yourself safe and recognising how your friends and family would feel with out your beautiful soul in their lives.

Thank you all for being so kind.

Thank you both for your kind words. I am greatful there is a place to come to am tell my story. I have a counselor. Shes amazing but she can only do so much to help me. Here i know there are others that are like me. That know how it feels and can understand.

Hi everyone. I'm new here and just learning my way around. Forgive me if i've placed this in the wrong area. I'm a survivor, at least i'm trying to be. I hate the word victim. I am hopeing to find people to talk to that have been in my situation and can offer support and understanding. Thank you for allowing me to join your community.
