People who commit suicide are the ones that feel like there is no way out. They feel that their life is at its lowest and will never pick up. What they don't realise is that there are people out there willing to help them. People who have felt the same, maybe even worse but have learnt to pull through it either on their own or with the help of others. People who feel this way really need to speak out as no one can help if no one knows there is a problem
It took me years and years to cope with my parent's death. I was depressed but God is great! He led me out of harms way. Suicide is not an option.
