Suicide
If you are feeling suicidal now, please stop long enough to read this. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. It will only take about five to seven minutes. We do not want to talk you out of your bad feelings. We don't know who you are, or why you are reading this page. We only know that for the moment, you're reading it, and that is good. We can assume that you are here because you are troubled and considering ending your life or you know someone feeling like this. If it were possible, we would prefer to be there with you at this moment, to sit with you and talk, face-to-face and heart to heart. But since that is not possible for now, we can chat with one another in this way – unanimously. While we are together here for the next couple op minutes, we have simple, practical things to share with you. Often people feel that, even in the deepest darkness of despair. Being unsure about dying is okay and normal. The fact that you are still alive at this minute means you are still a little bit unsure. It means that even while you want to die, at the same time some part of you still wants to live. Let’s start by considering this statement: "Suicide is not chosen; it happens when your pain is greater than your ability to handle the situation." That's all it's about. You are not a bad person, or crazy, or weak, or flawed, because you feel suicidal. It doesn't even mean that you really want to die - it only means that you have more pain than you can cope with right now. Don't accept it if someone tells you, "that's not enough to be suicidal about". There are many kinds of pain that may lead to suicide. Whether or not the pain is bearable may differ from person to person. What might be bearable to someone else may not be bearable to you. The point at which the pain becomes unbearable depends on what kinds of coping resources you have. Individuals vary greatly in their capacity to withstand pain, coupe with the suffering and at the same time have the knowledge of the truth to deal with it and overcome it. When pain exceeds pain-coping resources, suicidal feelings are the result. Most people have had suicidal thoughts at some point in their life. This does not in any way make you a bad person; it is not a defect of character. It is simply an imbalance of pain versus coping resources. The first thing you need to hear is that people do get through this -- even people who feel as badly as you are feeling now. Statistically, there is a very good chance that you are going to live. The next thing to suggest to you is to give yourself some distance. Say to yourself, "I will wait 24 hours before I do anything." Or a week. Remember that feelings and actions are two different things - just because you feel like killing yourself, doesn't mean that you have to actually do it right this minute. Put some distance between your suicidal feelings and suicidal action. Even if it's just 24 hours. You have already done it for a couple of minutes, just by reading this page. You can do it for another 5 minutes by continuing to read this page. Keep going, and realize that while you still feel suicidal, you are not, at this moment, acting on it. The third thing is this: people often turn to suicide because they are seeking relief from pain. Remember that relief is a feeling. And you have to be alive to feel it. You will not feel the relief you so desperately seek, if you are dead. The fourth thing is this: some people will react badly to your suicidal feelings, either because they are frightened, or angry; they may actually increase your pain instead of helping you, despite their intentions, by saying or doing thoughtless things. You have to understand that their bad reactions are about their fears, not about you in any way. But there are people out there who can be with you in this horrible time, and will not judge you, or argue with you, or send you to a hospital, or try to talk you out of how badly you feel.They will simply care for you.

Luke 10:27
The man answered, " Love YHWH your Eloah (Almighty) with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind'; and 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself." "REMEMBER -- You cannot love Abbah Father or others if you don't love YOURSELF as His creation!!! The REAL BIBLICAL NAME of our Messiah is Yahusha (restored in many of the latest Translations of the Bible), before it was wrongly translated to Jesus from the Greek. The video below encourages you to come to Messiah Yahusha! |
The BIBLE teaches us that loves start with us loving ourselves as our heavenly Father's creation (His workmanship).
Abbah Father does not make mistakes and never says "oops". So, you are NO MISTAKE. Love yourself as your heavenly FATHER loves you! Zephaniah 3:17 YHWH your Eloah (Almighty) is WITH you; His POWER gives you VICTORY. YHWH will take DELIGHT IN YOU, and in His love he will give you new life. He will sing and be joyful over you.   | ||||||||||||||||||||||
