Yet another post about wanting to die archangel, and it makes me so sad to see you feeling this way. I wish you could get to the right person for the right kind of help as I truly beleive in my heart that rather than die, you just want to be out of pain and have some joy in your life. That's really what we all want. Let me say first that just because your son is grown does not mean he no longer needs his mother! That job is one we have for a lifetime. Also, if you ask them, I know your husband and son would rather have you in pain than not at all!
You've said that you are seeing a shrink as well as many other drs. Have you told them about your thoughts of wanting to die? You know some medicines can cause people to feel that way. Please tell your dr right away and also your husband. You need some serious help and right away. I will keep you in my thoghts and prayers. Love, Dale

I truly know how you feel somewhat, about the pain. I hurt all day, everyday. I have tried suicide 4 times. I decided the last time, overdosed and it about killed me, that I would never put the ones I love threw that again. I said a prayer for you and I am sending a great big HUG to you now..Do the best you can my dear for there is no easy answer I can give but take life ONE DAY AT A TIME. Blessings from above..Sending some sun your way, for a brighter day...Love and peace be with you..

nomatter how much you hurt, and I know that pain, and the feeling that ending it would be easy, think of the pain this would cause your son, and others around you, and think what you mean to them, It helps me to think of my daughter when the pain is bad. to die would end one pain, but cause many more to suffer.

I wish that youu wouldn't talk of suicide like that, even though i know how you feel. Your child will always need his Mother, no matter how old he gets he will always be your little boy...
Please try and hang in there and talk to your Dr about your feelings of suicide and the depression. Love sent to you,always -Patti

Please dont do this to yourself. Please go and talk to someone. Or at least try and talk to your husband... you will hurt everyone more if u leave.

I cant understand what you are going though, since i have only been in pain for a little over a year, and i have never had anything like what you have happened to you. But i do know, know matter how i am feeling that day, my family loves to see me everyday and i love to see them everyday, and i am selfish, i want that to go on for how ever long the good lord wants me too.

all i want you do know is i care for you, and there is my selfish part speaking out again, but i do want to know i can write and you will answer when you can, and it is always good advice
thanks for you being you
I hope you are not upset with me now

I agree with many of the other posts, i too can relate to how you feel, and feeling that you are a burden to your family on top of your own personal physical pain. I agree with the post that the medications may make you have these thoughts and i also would suggest talking to your family about your fear of them resenting your chronic pain. I had a breakdown myself tonight, apologizing to my husband about my pain. it looks absurd as i type it, but I just had to tell him i was sorry. He explained that he knows he's powerless to help me and he accepted that years ago and he loves me and he's here for me just to BE. please try to hang in there and if you can gather some strength, speak to your family at least about your concerns of burdening them. I am sure they will reassure you that you are certainly no burden and that they love you and of course wish you would feel better, but love you nonetheless. I have said a prayer for you tonight. Please know that your post helped to give me some strength tonight and YOU have affected ME in a positive way. YOU'VE make a difference in my world today. Mary Beth

archangel....please continue with your care and please, please remember that we live because we value us and we value life. We are ALL worthy and lovable. I know you are not feeling well, but we manage, and we come to realize that others care deeply about and for us. You are with friends here...

i am so sorry u are in so much pain. R U taking a med for depression? Yesterday I went to a friend of mine funeral. She had suffered from cancer for so many yrs It finally was too much for her body to take. I visited her when she was in the hospital last month. She was on chemo again. She was on a morphine patch because of the pain. She had lost so much wt. and her hair was so very thin. But we has such a nice visit. We laughed so hard recalling memories of our past. That was a good day for her and I. But at the funeral yesterday I saw the pain in her families faces. I saw her husband of 35 yrs. wondering how he was going to go on without his wife. I saw her adult children in so much pain. I saw her Grand-daughter. I thought how sad she will never know her Grand-Mother. I saw her sisters in so much pain. it was so very sad. She was a special person and so young. I, as a friend was very saddened by her death, still couldn't imagine what her family is/will feel. I know your family would feel the same way in anything happened to you. I will say a prayer for u. If u need to talk we are here for u.

I spent over a decade surviving from moment to moment and though that came up on my list of options, I managed to stay half sane for I have family to care about.
I did get my pain remarkably improved by NeuroCranial Restructuring. I don't know if that could help... but let the fact that you know someone who had incurable, intractable pain that found relief by keepnig that sliver of hope alive. The world is learning, slowly, new things come along ... there is reason for hope. I promise.
