Every horrible thing that could happen this year has....  My adult child is being charged with a reckless crime and may go to jail.  I have cancer and don't know how much longer I have.to live.  My husband left me.  I constantly look up the word suicide.  I feel like I cant cope anymore.

I am so sorry that you are going through so much.  It is too much for one person to cope with, of course it is.  I do hope you only look up the word suicide, but do not actually want to take your own life.  I took an overdose once, but it affected my family, and I never tried again.

Depression is a difficult illness to deal with, and I do hope you have been to your doctor and discussed how you are feeling, and have got some help from them.  I know the feeling of not being able to cope.  Depression takes away so much from us.  I know your life is falling to pieces at the moment.

Keep writing here, and we will "talk" if that will help you.  I am so sorry you have cancer and that in itself is difficult to cope with.  Hopefully your son will not be sent to jail.  Take one day at a time.  Sorry if I am no help, but I have been in the depths of depression in the past, and now I am feeling I can cope with life again.
