I was suicidal for a long time the thing that ended up saving me was finding out I was pregnant, and that forced me to do everything in my power to give myself and my child the best life I could, like getting rid of all the unnecessary BS and Drama and the people that caused it. after I cut all that out of my life I quickly found people that where there for me and helped me through hard times and just generally made everything better. I have my son to thank for opening my eyes and making me do what I needed not only for myself but for him as well.

Thank you! But to be honest I am truly the lucky one, and he has brought me nothing but more luck since I have had him ^_^ I may not be in the best living situation yet but I am in a comfortable one and it won't be to long before we are where I want us to be ^_^

I was experiencing very severe post-partum depression at one point of my life. But each time I was in the act of preparation to go through with it, the song 'One More Day' would come on the radio. That song would stop me dead in my tracks. (The was even a time it came on my television that I know I hadn't turned on.) For the way my life is now, I'm glad I paid attention.

I'm glad you paid attention too.. When I used to get bullied in high school and felt like ending things, I watch Rocky and watch him going "one more round"....helped me a lot. Glad you are still with us.. :)

Thank you! :) I am, too. This question inspired me to write a story about it here in one of my experience groups. That movie is good, too!

I was never quite to that point, but about a year ago I had definitely stopped caring whether I lived or died. (I guess I was just too much of a coward to actively do anything about it.)
It took someone new in my life a few months later, showing that they cared about me as a human being, to pull me out of my funk and start me seeing myself as a person of value again.
Have things gotten better? I think so, although I still have rough days...Like (2)

I got saved by someone on EP once but she doesn't know it, my family every other time. My life has not gotten better or, I have not.
