Stop right there.   If you are considering suicide, remember this: suicide is never the answer.   Many people think about death and even think about giving up sometimes when they feel overwhelmed.   But suicidal feelings are often a symptom of depression and depression can be cured.   The good news is that if you seek help you can overcome your feelings of depression and wanting to kill yourself.   The feeling of wanting to die will go away. But death is permanent.

If you feel suicidal seek help.   Tell someone.   Call 1-800-SUICIDE.   If your friend is talking about killing herself, help her by telling someone. Suicide is a mistake that can never be undone.
