Hey guys.
I usually post to the depression board but I have commented here a few times. You guys were great with advice. You may not remember but I was pondering if I should check into a hospital for my suicide thoughts.

Last week I left work and I am now on medical leave. I attend an outpatient class 3 times a week for a few hours. It is helping…but I am only on class 2. I am still here so it is making somewhat of a difference. I have come clean with the family that my depression is causing suicidal thoughts and surprisingly everyone is supportive.
Every day is a struggle not to get out of bed….but to not grab the bottle of pills and go to sleep forever.

I know the drill to call the suicide hotline if I think I will hurt myself and well I want to say I will but can’t make that promise. I did promise my father I would not take my own life.

Just wanted to give you all an update and let you know that I appreciate the advice on hospitals stay. I decided not to go that route.
