I wish there were something I could say that would comfort you. Please don't be afraid.

i'm not afraid neither do i cry or cried tears might have about to fall but it does not matter
there's really nothing you can do or change i just really want to follow what i originally asked before i delete all that i asked other non christian forum about it but they only laugh so i closed it
what if i liken my situation to someone who is trapped in a cage for so many years because i might hurt others so they locked me up never let me get near nor do they like me i'll be alone in the past even the present and in the future
then i'll ask you what's the point of living if it's always like this?

i have felt suicidal like you have. i have felt trapped. i dont really know what else to say. it is true that i do not know you well or why you feel like you might hurt others.
we all have potential to hurt others and might already have hurt others.
this can be forgiven.
i will hurt others because it is an example

when i already gave a lot of hints i said what if and then included liken
this is not the first time though before i even came to this site i already have those thoughts
it went away for years but now i am stuck this is not likened to those that have been ditched by a gf/bf and then wanting to commit suicide but it's like a divorce thing while you still love her and you have kids with her but she took everything away and go with another man far away from you away from your country
your life is ruined if it's not resolve and you do not know what to do or where will you go next it's a dead end there is no more path
just like you do i put what if and then also put liken yet you did not understand what happened to us is happening everyday to me simple and not so simple situation misunderstanding is a common occurence to me this is the problem i have

Ive meant no offense honestly. I wasn't in much relationships personally. Sorry for misunderstanding. It takes time to get to know someone. I will back off from this thread for now.
nope not at all it did not affect me that much i just want to tell you that this is always the case

@Heart2Soul As Ephesians 2 says, 'by nature children of wrath'. Then this is contrasted with 'But God...' Who has intervened in grace and mercy....Most glorious....

You were last seen on Feb. 11, so I'm assuming you are still around.
Jesus loves you, even if your wife and kids left you, you lost your job and/or you don't have friends.
He is the Author of our faith, a gift that cannot be discarded.
Some have weak faith and the worlds troubles and tragedies are hard to cope with.
But listen, Jesus' faith is sufficient. If He begins a work in you, He will finish it. Suicide is the opposite of faith. It implies you do not trust God at all with your life and you don't approve of how He has delt with it.
Only the Creator gives life and only He has the right to take it away.
We are given the story of Job, who was tested beyond anything we have suffered. Of course it is only fair to say he had a close relatioshship with God to begin with, and that was tested.
But can still learn from his story. We are all put through many tests, we are chastised for our sins because He loves us.
Admit your sins and welcome His chastisements with thanks. Take responsibility for your previous actions that led to the state you are in; things didn't happen to you because you were such a loving and giving man. Accept it, give it to God to heal and move forward.
Ask for forgiveness and believe that it is a done deal.
This life is not going well for billions. The world is falling apart and so the future (of this world) looks grim for all of us. But we persevere, we dinish the race to receive the prize. You don't drop out the race and expect to win anything!
We look beyond this world to eternal life, perfection, new bodies and perfect love that we've only had a taste of. Focus on things above and get out of your despondency.
How? Stop focusing on yourself!
NOW TAKE THIS IN:
A famous psychoanalyst, Scott Peck, was asked this question: " If you were so depressed to the point of suicide, while knowing all that you know about the mind, feelings and human behavior, what would you do?" He responded: I would go out and help someone. After I finished with that person, I would find someone else and help them." By these continuous acts of unselfish kindness towards others, one forgets about how depressed they are about their own lives. This love for others heals you. The more selfish a person is, the more miserably unhappy he will be.
So get off your treadmill of rehearsing, "Woe is me" and serve others' needs - for your own good!

That is some great advice, but I think there is a distinctive difference between what some call depression and clinical depression. There are several factors involved in clinical depression. Mine was biochemical. no, it wasn't due to drugs. When you are admitted they take blood samples to see what drugs are in your system. All I had was tylenol, which I took for a headache.
That was decades ago. I got better with help.
Here is an article on "The Chemistry of Depression"
What Is the Chemistry Behind Depression?
You said "So get off your treadmill of rehearsing, "Woe is me" and serve others' needs - for your own good." Perhaps a little more compassion?
That should qualify as a fruit of the Spirit.
