Back in the summer of 2005 I was very suicidal. I was online looking up methods, and found the link to SF so I came here. I was exhausted, depressed, and ready to leave this world. I posted my feelings here and within a short time I got responses, messages of support and hope. I felt encouraged and wasn't thinking of killing myself, at least, for now. I came back every day, posting and reading, and gradually the feeling of hopelessness began to fade. I got to know the members here and made some friends. I honestly think that SF saved my life that night. I will always be grateful for the support I found here that made me feel better about myself and my place in the world. I haven't visited for at least a year, but wanted to come by and give my message of hope, and my gratitude to the members here who helped me when I was so desperate. I will always be grateful.*hug*grouphug2*hug10

Welcome back! I feel the same. SF supported my in my most darkest moments struggling with severe suicidal impulses & urges. Posting here, reading members' journeys, receiving support & encouragement helped me tolerate my thoughts & feelings better. These along with intense crisis therapy allowed to survive my darkest moments, i.e , not attempt & complete suicide. I'm forever grateful for the angels on SF!

Thank you all for the warm welcome home! I have not thought of or desired suicide for a long time, at least 15 yrs, and am reasonably happy and satisfied with my life at present, despite some health conditions that cropped up after I turned 70 in August 2021. I can still take care of myself and my dog and two cats, can get around, and am living in a nice apt my daughter and son in law got for me. Life is good and I am content. I moved to San Jose 2.5 yrs ago from NE Ohio and love it here!! No snow or ice or freezing cold!!
