God, I Want to die

Life getting too much? 'God I want to die' #suicide #depression #wanttodie

Sometimes it all gets too much and we want it to end.

Five Suggestions

1. PRAY A DIFFERENT PRAYER
Perhaps you could pray this prayer.

God, I want to die.
My world feels black and dark.
I feel like I am drowning and being swept away.
The hammer blows hurt, bruise, and tear.
I know my feelings can misrepresent reality.
The more I believe the feelings to be true; the deeper and darker my pit becomes.
Help me sense you are here with me and want to help me out of this dark hole.
I want to know what to do in the darkness.
Whisper some light to me and show me a path to walk on.

2. IDENTIFY THE STRAWS
Break it down before it breaks you down.

Can you journal and write all the stresses that you are carrying?

Try to break them down into the smallest straws that you can.

When we get pragmatic about the various worries, fears, pressures that we are carrying, we can start to problem solve and take action.

3. TAKE ACTION
Take a millimeter step in changing the situation.

Small actions add up. Take a small action on one place of struggle.

We were never meant to face our struggles on our own.
