Feeling Suicidal?

"Every 40 seconds, s o m e o n e somewhere in the world kills themself ('commits suicide'). Every three seconds, someone tries to, but does not succeed. Here are some of the reasons why people wish to die:
 


● feelings of failure – not being able to do something as well as you want to, or your family expect you to.
● feeling that you do not matter, that no-one loves you.
● losing the friendship of a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife.
● the death of a person who was very close to you.
● sexual or physical abuse, rape or other problems. You may feel you cannot talk to someone else about these things, so you hide them in your mind.
● feeling guilty about something you have done

● money problems and debt.
● alcohol or drugs can work in your mind and make it seem easier to die.
All these things may also lead us into the illness of depression.


There is no way to change your mind, once you have killed yourself. Ask for help quickly. Talk about your problems to someone – a friend, or maybe a doctor or nurse. Men find it much more difficult to talk about problems than women. This is why many more men than women kill themselves."

He has made everything beautiful in its time.
He has also set eternity in the hearts of men;
yet they cannot fathom what God has done
from beginning to end.
