It feels like nothing is working out for me no matter how hard I try!! I know Im a very talented person and I could keep going on like everything is great by giving fake smiles & laugh when Alot of times I just want to die in my sleep! I Love my wife & kids but I think they'd be better off without me. Maybe it not meant for me to be here.
 
Donovan mate. The main thought you must hold onto is the damage any form of action of this nature would have on your family.

Regardless they love you and you clearly love them.

Please engage with this forum and there are Many members here, myself included who will happily do our best to help you in any way we can.

Kind regards

Welcome to the forum, donovan!
PLEASE don't give up! You would devastate your family! I promise, your loss would PROFOUNDLY affect your children! Growing up without a father is SO hard! Especially, do not take your own life!!! It's the WORST kind of abandonment! The kids would learn that it's an option, and that's just not right!

Have you seen a doctor? There are medical reasons for depressions, as well as a genetic component! Often very talented people deal with depression.

I wanted to die since I was 14. I made several half-hearted attempts, and one almost succeeded. I couldn't cry out...and I realized that I didn't want to die, I just didn't want to hurt anymore! I have wanted to die off and on throughout my life, but I realize that wanting to die, is a distortion of our minds when we are depressed.

Don't give up until you have sought EVERY other way than giving up! I realized that once I had children, I didn't have the right to voluntarily leave them. The "ripple effect" would devastate ALL who know and love you!

There are medications, and therapy! Mental illness is losing the stigma. Your children and wife would NOT be better without you!!! Ask your wife?

Blessings of courage, and peace sent your way!

Donovan I know this message was in May but I hope it reaches you.
I can tell you first hand your family will not be better off without you. I lost my sweet husband in November 2015 to suicide and I can tell you that is not the case I wish I could have done more I would have moved heaven and earth to help him so that he would be with us today. He left behind a loving wife and 2 boys that miss him terribly. Please reach out and get some help. We hurt everyday from his decision that his family would be better off without him we miss him so much. Please think about your family, reach out to anyone you trust. I have been reading this forum for quite a while but never wrote, after reading your post I had to reply I could not just pass you by. Please know you do matter!
