Sorry to hear you: Have gotten to such a place in life. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Suicide does not improve the lives of loved ones left behind - it only increases their pain, guilt ; remorse. Virtually all problems in life can be improved w/ time, effort ; perspective. Please get help from a mental health prof'l ; contact 911 if you feel suicidal again. Wishing you the best!
