Thoughts of suicide... NO..NO...NO... You are a good person — don't ever forget this!

Don't ever think you are not a good person or life is not worth living....because you are and it is!

Don't you dare throw in the towel!

No matter what you are feeling or how bad you think your situation is, what you have lost or how bad you think you have been, salvation is possible for you, and all of us. Nobody is completely bad, just in need of some fixing up. Where there is life, there is hope — always!

When you are dead — you are along time dead... This is a waste of all the good things inside of you for YOU, and the many people who benefit from knowing or meeting you. Think about all the good things you have done and the success you have been, and will be again. Ignite that fire in you belly — you are needed — don't say Goodbye...

Fundamentally, you have to believe deep in yourself you are a good person, and your instinct for preservation will keep you going — minute by minute, hour by hour and day by day, in those blackest moments of deepest despair, loneliness and pain.

If you are in a bad way you must always reach out to someone and tell them what's going on for you. Write them a letter, email, SMS, phone or simply go see them. If your support network is weak and limited you have to source new people, who can be empathetic, caring and helpful in your time of need. Make it a mission when you are strong to find people from community centres, groups, clubs, activities, dating sites or wherever, and spend time to build friendships and relationships, so that when you're feeling weak, you have many contact details of various friends or support people at hand.

If you have nobody, email me here at Beyond Separation, and I will chat with you, be empathetic and a friend indeed. You can then ask me how many times I have felt like pulling the pin. But hey — as a survivor of Separation over many years of bad times, I can tell you point blank, you can get through it, life can be good and gets better day by day. It can be slow at times, but only temporary. Accept these facts.

Remember, you are not alone, so keep connected and tell yourself when you're having a sad moment that you are good person, many times over, over and over...

There is always someone to help you, simply reach out. One such organisation is Grow which I have attended and found quite helpful here in Melbourne, Victoria Australia, however, they are growing all round the world, pardon the pun. You will meet some truly wonderful people — so give it a go!
