As for the topic, yes. I had been studying to be a teacher, and when I started working as one, it wasn't working out. I felt like I was not going to be able to do anything else or support myself ever, and there were other things, and I thought about suicide quite a bit. Actually checked myself into a hospital, but didn't stay there very long because... honestly I had to study for the LSATs, and they wouldn't let me have things like pens. Anti-depressants, finding a new goal, and time helped. I'm more or less ok now. Off meds now and generally not depressed, but if my plan c doesn't work out... who knows.

You can talk to us here and we'll listen... but to my knowledge none of us are really trained to handle this. So, that's the number for the suicide prevention hotline. They can probably offer better advice.
