what to type. I've been contemplating suicide for the past few weeks, I've been
depressed for a couple years but recently I've been seriously considering
suicide I'm trying this before I seriously start planning and attempting tho. I
just want to be happy but I can't no matter how hard I try. 3 years of trying
and nothing. No improvement. I could even go as far as saying it's gotten worse.
Hope is lost for me. But I'm stubborn so here I am. </span></p>

good that you are opening up about how intense your thoughts are getting and
are seeking help. We are glad that you have been stubborn, this shows your inner will to live, to fight through these feelings to find healing. Since you are feeling suicidal it would probably be
best if you contacted one of our counselors by phone or get yourself to a
hospital if you cannot stay safe. Our counselors are available 24/7 at
1-800-448-3000 every day of the year so please do not hesitate to call as we
