I'm seriously thinking about suicide. Can you give me a reason to continue to live after 60 years old on this planet?

How long do you have? At 60 years you have it all to give...what are the kids gonna do without some guidence of the 'real' kind...

Your right my friend. I posted this 3 months ago when I found myself on the deep end without farther thought. I am doing very well now considering that I was very serious about checking out of this planet. I was not seeking attention when I put this post up. It's just that I see so much hate here and I felt the need to reach out to see if anybody really cared. As you can see below (except the little creep just below me) that like you there are lovely people who care. I've always been one of the stronger ones among family and friends. It's hard to lose everything at this age. It can make you feel like you failed after working for years to provide for your children. I had expected to leave my sons a good amount of money to make their life and my grand children's life a bit easier. My boys are standing up on their own two feet like I did. I can now settle for this but I am so angry about the way things have gone down in my country I could spit!

I know that my family loves me just the same because everything is not just about money. I am better off after this nightmare caused by greedy corporate and political ass wipes who run over people like a mower on grass. I'm back to show my kids (adults) that giving in is not the answer and I look forward to spending what time is left with them and slap a few political bitches on the way out.

Thank you sweet, that was very kind of you ;-)

Never could look the other way :)

hinga to madgre

OL! NO! NEVER, EVER, NEVER, EVER, NEVER EVEN think of this!!!!! Send me a goddamn smoke signal or a team of rabid huskies if you even get thinking like this again! I wasn't here when you posted this...I didn't know you were so low. I'm over 60....you give up, I gots nothing to stay for. If an old Hellraiser like yourself can't see any reason to keep on putting one foot in front of the other, well, there's no hope or a schmuck like me......

I'm working on being a hell raising schmuck again and am happy to still be in your awesome hell raising shmucking company. I am trying my best to stay in shmucktood! I had a very rough spell but I'm working on it. Thank you sweetie!

60 is not old.
My grandpa is in his 70s and he doesn't even slouch!
His dad was a doctor, but when he died everyone stole his money. My grandpa and his mom and siblings were poor. Him and his mom had to work so hard to survive, he was suffering because he had to go from city to city on foot to find jobs. Oh, he was about 10-15 i cant remember. Anyway, he decided to go all the way to our countries capital to study in any school that would accept him. He bought books from the library and studied in the street under the city lights. He had to sleep on the street too since he had no home there. And you know how he turned out? He became one of the best minds in our country, and he became the AMBASSADOR of our country. He's now retired, rich, healthier than i am, and happy.
I mean i know this doesn't relate to you, but if he could end up happy after all that, so can you!

Thank you sweet, your absolutely right. It's not time yet.. turn the page ;-)

What a disturbing thought, to lose a bratty, caring person like you, from this planet. I did not see this post, 7 days ago; I'm so sorry.

Your absolutely right, I am a VERY bratty caring person who forgot that while sailing, one should make sure that a foot is not placed inside the rope attached to the anchor of government gone wild. Fruck it, I'm a superstar no matter where I are :/

Personally, I LOVE bratty, caring people. Not enough of them, in this world.

You can't be serious! You have many friends on here including me. You really can't be serious about leaving us. You wanted a reason to live? O.k. here it is, the election is in Nov. and we need every Democrat to vote for Obama. Now, don't let us down we are depending on you. Don't do any favors for the Republicans......they would love it if all the Democrats would check out of this old world and they could just slide old Romney into the White House. We need you on Sodahead, and your country needs you to vote for Obama. He's depending on all of us. Anymore questions?

Now I've seen it all... this lady needs some serious loving from her freinds and family and you're stumping for Obama??? Old lady, this has got to make you chuckle...

You must not know Old Lady very well, She is a Obama supporter and would appreciate anything said in good light of him, and in this case it is to show just how important she is to us. MO brings up something she would enjoy and it is YOU who stomps a friendship towards her at at time when she needs us. Your absolute selfishness is spit on by me at a time like this. Why would ANYONE come to this blog and start a FIGHT is beyond me. But you seem to have done that very thing.

I am not the least bit political and old lady knows it. So PARDON ME if I take umbrage at a political comment when someone is hurting. Personally, I don't think stumping for Obama would make me feel better. I still stand by my statement.

evidently making some one feel worth is just not your bag.

Back at cha...

Up yours!

But coming to this particular blog and attacking someone while waving the flag of courtesy and ethics is OK for you?.

She is out right disgusting coming here and making a scene, but eeh that is cons for ya. No respect for anything

yeah, except for themselves and even then they lie!.lol

Dont even talk like that. You are a wonderful person and a good hearted soul, and people like you are very much needed in this cold hearted world. You are at a wonderful age. You can say anything you feel like, and people just shake their heads and laugh. Hang in there. Let God decided when it is time to go.

Suicide is so selfish. Think of those who would be angry, hurt, and miss you. I've never known you to be selfish, oldlady. Only if my health was near terminal would I want the means to leave this earth. Other things can always change for the better with positive thinking and faith in change.

What sort of dumbass talk is this? You're enough like me that there's probably a whole mess of rotten bastards who would love to see you dead. Why make it easy on 'em? At least have the self respect to outlive Cheney for Christssake.

And yes I'm back...

You're a good warrior & great friend Oldlady. We've lost too many liberal warriors & it would break my heart to lose you also. I know I'm late in responding but I've been in the hospital & didn't see this until just now.

We all get tired, but as long as I see a light at the end of the tunnel i will keep fighting.

I want him!

I want to thank everyone who took the time to respond to my call for help. I seriously came close to buying the farm, kicking the bucket, drifting out to sea without a boat and pushing up daises. I'm still not sure where I belong on this planet but you gave me a voice, a validation that I am cared for even though I have no money and the price has gone up to live, to be counted as "someone" who still exists in a world of has or has not.

Thank You ;-)

SWEET ONE, you were missed. And so happy to see you back. They have a saying and it is so true..."getting old ain't for sissies" and it ain't. I think ole Katherin Hepburn said that and she HAD money!!

Always rebuke any thoughts of ending your life no matter how grim it may appear at times. There's always light at the end of the tunnel even if it's not clear to you at the time, just know it is.

Based on your profile it appears as if you have children and as someone who recently lost my mother from cancer, as hard as that was and still is, I would be much more devastated if it was from suicide.

Mothers Day is around the corner and I'm mourning for her death right now, I choose to focus my mind on the good times that I had with her which calms me down. I'm glad you shared your thoughts and recognize not to go down that road.

I came back here tonight to see if you'd posted anything. So, so, so glad to hear from you.

We love ya, hunny!

Never forget you are loved and appreciated very much on this site. Here's a BIG hug!

Hey! 60 is the new 40! You're not an old lady unless you think so. Nobody else thinks so. I think you need to get out of the house, go for a walk, smell the flowers, run barefoot in the grass, lay down in the grass and watch the clouds and see what they become as they drift over you. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face and the coolness of the spring breezes. Find something to do whether it's alone or with someone else. If you continue to feel this bad, get some professional help. They have all kinds of things to help elevate your mood and they do help. But you also have to help yourself. Now get out there and LIVE!

well you've come to the right place for therapy.

Because life gets better the older you get. You realize that all the things you used to want mean nothing at all. You know that all the silly worries that hounded you in your youth were nothing but shadows. You begin to recognize your value as an individual without all the trappings society says you "have" to have. Because we all need you and you need us. Because there are things only you can do in this world, people that only you can touch and help.

Come out to CA for a visit. I'll help snap you out of your funk...Sunshine, beach and margaritas.
