Hi. I posted a thread in the counseling section where i asked a few questions about this, but it occurred to me to maybe submit this as a prayer request as well.
I am a 35 year old woman, I am not a christian, I don't really believe in Jesus or the bible, and I'm not sure I believe in god- so I guess it may be odd that I'm asking for prayer on a Christian forum. I thought it would not do any harm.
I am struggling right now with feelings of wanting to commit suicide or hurt myself. I won't get into all the reasons why, but I am tempted to hang myself- I live alone- so no one would find me until it was too late. When I was at my most depressed, I recently stumbled across not one but two articles describing how quick and painless hanging is, and I want a painless death and then peace. Which is what I think I would get. But there is still a little part of me that is afraid I might go to hell. I have that fear, probably because I was raised Catholic and the concept of hell was really engrained in us.
I had the noose around my neck yesterday but a phone call interrupted me. Now I am fighting those feelings, but they are still there. I keep thinking it would be peaceful and then easy and then nothingness.
But I thought maybe prayer would help, or at least couldn't hurt. Please pray for me.
