The reason you gave for not wanting to kill yourself is the best safeguard for those contemplating suicide. Suicide would be a selfish thing to do to a parent. Parents never get completely over the loss of a child.

Today, I hope you have found a better way to release your emotional frustration and have found the healing you needed.

Thank you again for sharing your testimony. It may just save another life.

Mom here.

Rhoni I can honestly say I never felt so hopeless in my life, frankly it scared the hell out me, when our daughter confused in us just how depressed she was wanted to die. To hear your child voice such a thing is very frightening overwhelming to say the least, losing em. Yes I knew she was depressed, just didn't realize how deep it went, was lost at what to do, this was out our league.

We tried going holiestic but it didn't work she kept getting darker and more depressed along with anxiety to the point she could not ride the bus to or from school, then came the calls from school she could not handle being there the anxiety was to much to handle along with her depression. At this point we realized we needed outside help to save our daughter she was slipping away in front of us, long gone was the happy go lucky kid we knew, her anger was also out of control, very temper short. We got help, therapist who diagnose Bipolar Manic, along with low does Zoloft and much prayer. This has helped get her back to were she use to be, she has try going off Zoloft 3 different times, but only to slip back into the depressed, all symptom returning . Today, two years later she doing great, graduated from high school this year with honors, holding down a job looking forward to college and has a wonderful boyfriend who heading off to The Pensacola Christian College this week. We are very proud of her!
