No. The actions and reactions become overwhelming and untenable. There is no strength to get out of bed. No strength for daily living like showering and eating.

The real danger is when someone deeply depressed starts to fell better. They are still depressed and now have the strength to act to end their pain. Suicide and depression is linked.

Suicide in my eyes is rooted in an emotion out of control , like murder would be rooted in anger.

I believe there are spirits in this world that we can allow into our lives by things we do or become involved in .
Hence we have depression , serial killers , suicide and so on.

There are people in history that where obviously driven by things we do not see . And it wasn't imbalances in there phisical body.

Love me

conversely, spiritually speaking I feel hopeless and scared everyday. ive had a life of emotional and mental turmoil and God was the only hope for me. i feel like God doesn't love me, there is a heavy dark cloud over me and a constant fear of death and my afterlife on my mind constantly

i envy those who had a stable upbringing in the religion and remained faithful to the religion and now living happy lives.
How are you today?

Yes, how are you? We can be real metaphysical geeks sometimes, debating the fine points of this or that, but this is your thread. And I have a particular interest in your welfare because I've scraped my stepson off the floor two or three times and salvaged his school career.

I'm curious, what are you studying? I thought JWs discouraged higher education for its young adults as a matter almost of policy, so it's great that you're in graduate school, no less.

You are right. My father isn't a JW and told me to go to grad school. I just stay in bed every day no shower and barely eat . I'm typing this from my phone . My life continues to downward spiral. Everything is out of my control now . I tried

Please seek medical help immediately! Antidepressants can cause thoughts of suicide.
