tink	God is Love...................You need to get out of your house, even it is only to go to the mail box. Smell the smell of life. When the time is right, that special someone will come in to your life. Go to AA.....I have a friend who has been so confused in life. He was a big drunk, mean, he freighted every one when he was drunk. His life had no meaning. For 12 years I stood by his side I was an enabler. Finally, I had to let him go. He was homeless, no money, no food, no family. I hated to do it, but I had too for my mental health. After 2 days of sleeping under the bridge, he checked himself into the mental health facility. He had been there before, but wasn't serious about getting help. This time he had to be serious. Now a year later he is clean for one year. He has hep. c....No money. There is a program called We Care, that is paying for his medicine. He now has a job. But his insurance has not kicked in. He is so much better off now. Remember their is a God.....And taking your life is not the answer. There is a Rainbow, but if you give up, you'll never see the colors or experince the joy that God, Mankind, and Life has to offer you. Think about it right around the corner is your new beginning. Start living and life will get better. Call the crisses hot line. Go to the emergency room, tell them your story. There is help for you, if you will only reach out for it. God Bless You..............We are back together now, and have a daughter..............Maybe if you get help it might happen to you too, but if not Hold your head up and be proud of who you are. You are here for a reason, don't cheat mankind, yourself , or our precious Lord. Jesus lives with in you.......Never doubt that...... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Corydoras_Catfishy	Do you really believe in God? If so, God wants us to live for a reason. Maybe you haven't figured yours out. You have to wait. Sometimes it seems like God doesn't care, but it takes time. Please email me ilovefish95@hotmail.com And you shoulld get a pet, no matter how much they cost. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pegasus90	According to the reading I have done regarding hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), the brain, when it senses that blood sugar is low, will do sometimes strange things to get the blood sugar (glucose) out of storage and into the blood stream. Adrenaline is one sure way to do this. If thinking of killing yourself causes you to get an adrenaline spurt, then low blood sugar is probably the cause. It is the most likely cause for your depression, and possibly for your former alcoholism. Suggestion? Go to the kitchen, now, and get some protein, meat, a can of tuna (salmon is better) or whatever, and eat it. Also have some carbohydrate, like a handful of chips, an apple, or some carrots/Celery, and also some nuts or peanut butter. Eat at least 2 ounces of the protein. Then drink a glass of water and do something active, like singing, or exercising for 30 minutes. You may find your mood has lessened a bit. Repeat between each meal. Eat a similar mix of protein (but 3-4 ounces of protein) at each meal. Do this at each meal and between meals today and tomorrow. Chronic low blood sugar can also cause self-esteem problems, anger management problems and a whole bunch of other physical and mental nasties. You may want to check out the symptoms link on www.hufa.org, and see how you check out. I can't cure your loneliness, but I have just "sat" beside you and listened. I ask that you try the eating thing for one day. And how do you know that God didn't "direct" me to answer your question this way. I felt his "push" to start the organization noted below.

moofbigdocsdaughter	He hates you Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

janice	The fact that you are writing to Yahoo answers says you are just looking for attention. Any one who is serious about killing themselves RARELY reach out for intervention! They just DO it! You have chosen God as your scapegoat. WHY does he have to do all the work. You need to get over yourself. So you lost a girlfriend, it happens! You could get involved with AA and help others. You could get involved with your church. You are just so hung up on YOU right now, your focus is WAY off! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

keep_up_w_this	If God made choice for you, what would be the purpose of free will. You have a choice to be lonely, accept responsibility for yourself. A man is in his house in a flood and the waters rising. The news tells the area to evacuate. He says that God will save him. The water continues to rise and the Fire Dept. drives up and tell him to evacuate, he says God will save him. The water continues to rise. He is on the roof, water all around, and a boat comes up and tells him to get in. He says no, God will save him. He drowns and goes to Heaven. He is upset and asks God why he had all this Faith and God allowed him to die. God said- I sent you a news report, I sent you a Fire truck, I sent you a boat, what else do yo want. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sun M	I am also God's lonely man. But you shouldn't kill yourself. Think about how many more people are suffering than you. Just register at some dating agencies. Do volunteer work. You will meet other people. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

El Pistolero Negra	He gives us free will. Suicide is way over rated, don't do it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

steelhwyman	Right here with ya man. alcoholic, out of work, .... I always thought God would just zoom down and save me. I have learned to accept that most of this I brought on myself, through my own decisions God won't stand between you and death because of "free will", (one of the many bad things we got from Satan). BUT I found that I was an alcoholic because I was self medicating. I always felt I could function better with a drink, it relieved my anxiety. Most DR.'s will see you without med insurance and they have free trials ( that can last up to a year) of meds. NOW, go get a shower and wake up. SO,First get to a Dr. tell them you are depressed and that you are an alcoholic. they have great Meds. 2 get to a meeting, you need it, just about everyone there has had this feeling.3. Find a Pastor, Priest Rabbi, and Just sit and talk for a few minutes. 4 GOD LOVES YOU!!! If he didn't, would you have gotten this many responses?.........zoooooom Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ricknows	God gives us choice. It's a gift. Dont play games with God. He loves all people, but let's us all make decisions. God's not going to come to your rescue every time you "test" his being there or loving you. Dont come on yahoo to threaten others with killing yourself. I might report this one.... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Soldier	God loves you more than anything, he loves you so much that he send his only son to die for your sin. You may think that God is not around you, but he his with you every step of the way. The devil is the one that wants you to kill yourself, sometimes God lets the devil do things to His children to show His power when he recue you from tyhe devils claws. I'm a chrsitian and I have to fight each and everyday to survive, because to be a christian is not just praying to God, its our destiny to serve God until the last breath, don't end your life now, because it is not your time yet. God will take you when it is your time to go. What you need to do is to go to any church in your area and sked the pastor to help you out. I know that christianity will save you, my life is not all smiles, I struggle to make it through the day. I don't go to church that much, but i start and end my day with God. I talk to him and he did wonderful things for me and I know that I will make it. The reason that you're still alive is that God is going to use you to bless someone, that may need more than you think. About your X, she mnade her choice and drift away from you, now you need to make a choice to drift away from alcohol. Don't use your X's aniversary and stuff like that. let the pass be the pass. Let go and move one. The people in our life is the to make us stronger and not weaker when they leave. Be a soldier and fight the fight against all evil that christians fight every day. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Autumn	Look you need to help yourself, call your sponsor to talk with. Go to the local clinic to apply for medical help so you could see a doctor get a check up and let he or she decide if you need a med for depression. Forget the ex, it's been a year get out there and talk with people.You are not alone, many people have sad and hard lives. Just look at the news everyday and you will see it and hear it. When God wants you to come home, he knows where to find you. Turn your life around till then and start living. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

raja s	God is in each one of us! Take control of your life little by little till you can bring out the god in you. All said and done, life sometimes can be a drag, and its not fair - realize that and make the best of your mental faculties! good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

anto687	I think the general consensus is that God loves you enough to give you free will and an ability to make your own decisions. I am not a relgious man, and am just repeating what I have heard as an argument. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

franken4110	well, if you haven't killed yourself yet it looks like your god has stopped you from doing it. As for god putting another person in your life to prevent you suiciding,, think about it, if you were god would you want to punish someone so much by making them part of your life? Nope, afraid that with your current attitude you are destined to solitude, learn to handle it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

I will pray for you...pray more and seek Jesus... of course you need to seek the true God.. our Lord Jesus Christ..

trudy p	Hey Bill, I don't believe it is God who is responsible for your loneliness...I also am a person who has dealt with alcoholism and depression. I have been sober now for a few years and it hasn't been easy. The alcohol sure numbs the pain and feelings...but that is part of life...feeling the good and the bad. I also have no health care but I am a few years older. 54...and I am a woman. I am sorry your last girlfriend has left the situation but if they leave when the going gets tough was it meant to be? Your faith has kept you sober...hang in here please! I am also bankrupt due to my health issues...the small ammount of credit I had been able to build was shattered when I had to live on credit cards trying to keep from being homeless. I have no family that cares really what happens to me unless they need me! How about you? Do you have family? Do you have a particular church you attend? I haven't attended a church in many years but I am a very spiritual person so I haven't felt the need to do that. I have found the people there very judgemental and invasive of my life. So I pray and worship Him in my own way...daily. I too put it in his hands when this started...He hasn't let me down yet. I am single and alone too so I know what the loneliness feels like...I just got tired of playing the games most play and all the drama that comes with it. Please try to reach out to someone there where you live...you know there is still good in the world. I do believe in prophecy and with the global situation deteriorating as it is now it only reenforces that. I also have thought suicide would be the way to go...I hate being a drain on my son who is here for me and his family...he has so much on his shoulders already!! I know he would be the one to suffer if I did commit suicide...and my grand children...I have 3. Do you know who I think is responsible for your loneliness and depression...Satan...he is the man in charge of this Earth...and each day he grows stronger!!! You have taken a really good step in coming to this place and trying to reach out for help! That is the first step and often the hardest!!! Please take the other step of trying to access someone in your town that can talk with you and maybe steer you in the direction of some resources that may help you. There are some still out there...you just have to look to find them. Are you working??? I am currently unemployed and not able to find anything for almost 4 months now...still hanging in here though. Believe it or not there are really still GOOD people out there...they are just a little harder to find. Good luck and may God Bless you and send a guardian angel to lift you up when you are tired. Hope that this has helped some what!!! If you feel like writing...sometimes I find this helps me...just open up a blank document and start...or on MSN they have many groups that have good people in them...check for one that fits your needs. I belong to a couple that are mainly for Fibro and Depression. God Bless! Trudy:-{ Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

uncle billy	freewill, he will not interfere. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Morphious	You have something called "Free will" meaning that you control your decisions. The only person to help you is and will be yourself. You make yourself out to be pitied, "Oh look at my terrible life." The only person that's able to change it is you. I've been there and got the t-shirt, cap and scars. If you're expecting God to intervine, well, he probably has already, and you didn't even notice. He's probably done so on several occasions, and you didn't notice that either. If you were intent on killing yourself, you would not have asked the question. So, generate the nerve to help yourself and get on with living. Nobody promised you a great life, money, career or love. These are things you must do for yourself. So start doing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Annie	Maybe God doesn't exist. Or if he does, maybe he's too busy to see to your needs now. You gotta think that the Man Upstairs has a long list of things to deal with...It's also sort of selfish to test Him like that. I'm personally atheist, I don't believe in God. So I would say "it's all you". But since you really seem to trust in Him and everything, remember that you are not the only human who prays to Him! Hang in there. Your time for salvation will come... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hunters w	Wow, your story sounds so familiar. My father is a depressed recovering alcoholic. He also has only been sober for a short time. Several years ago, my mother started seeing another man, this destroyed my (step) father. He lost his job, home and family all in the same month. When all this began, he started drinking. He thought she took everything away from him. Therefore, he moved and a short time after that he lost his job, house, friends, car, and he was so hurt and depressed that he pushed everyone away so in turn he thought he lost his family too. Anyway, he started living on the streets. He had no money, and no place to sleep, not even a car. We lost contact with him for a while. All this went on for about 11 years. Then one day he called and that’s when I couldn’t and wouldn’t listen to his excuses anymore. We all get hurt in life but we can’t let others get us down like my mother did to him. I wasn’t trying to hurt him or push him away but he was hurting me and my brother (his biological child) so that’s when I decided, tough love. I told him its time to take back his life. I know for him it was hard but I assured him we would walk with him through this. He has a house now, has income, and most of all he has his children back in his life. He is still depressed but he’s not drinking. He tells me all the time that he wishes God will send someone to share his lonely days with but he wants it right now and he has to understand when God feels he is ready he will send someone his way. Have you ever heard that saying “what doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger”? Well, from experience of dealing with alcoholism, It seems as though you have already came along way. Why give up now? You have beaten this disease, even if only for a short time now, but you are taking back control of your life. Please just give it time. If you want God to hear you, then you need to hear him. Maybe God doesn’t feel that your recovery is strong enough yet. Ask yourself this, if you found someone and you got hurt, could you deal with it, without a drink? So maybe he is just waiting for you to become a stronger person. Please just give it time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
