Okay, a lot of you know several things about me but there's some things you don't know that struggle with that are so painful.

I know God sees self-harm and suicide as a sin, believe me, I know and I feel terrible afterwards with my attempts.

The mental health services where I live are no use and I have no friends nearby to support me.

I recently found out my own biological father sexually abused me as a baby and toddler.
One of the neighbours in the building where I live is an alcoholic and a drug user and she lets her friends bully and harass me - Recently she tried to break into my flat, she tried to steal one of my crutches that I need to help me walk and on Thursday night, I got punched in the face and went into my local store with my face covered in blood.
I have a love-hate relationship with my mother, she favouritises my brother because he has no disabilities, he's got a full-time job, he's married and got no mental health problems - On Christmas Eve, I had a fall out with my mother and brother and they both know I'm Autistic, they left me alone in a large grocery store with lots of people and I spent Christmas on my own.
I'm having problems with my mobile so I called Carphone Warehouse to switch from an O2 Pay & Go Phone to a £60.00 contract with Vodafone, I was given a Google Pixel 2 phone because the staff member said it the phone was easy to use and had a lot of internal storage so I gullibly agreed to have the phone, he over charged me, he said I can start off with just £19.99, the bill was £29.99 and because I'm disabled mentally & physically, I'm on ESA & DLA and now I'm broke, the worse part is I'm Autistic & Dyslexic and he never told me you have to open the sim card tray with a pin and the sim card tray went flying out my bedroom and I cannot find it and Vodafone & Carphone Warehouse refuse to give me a sim card tray for my new phone so now I'm paying £60 a month for a phone I'm not using.
Apart from all of this my sister no longer wants to speak to me or know me anymore because I'm related to my father and because we have different beliefs - I'm a reformed/reborn Christian who attends the Church of England and I vote for the Labour Party, last year around this month me and my sister had a debate on abortions, my sister is a Conservative voter and she's an Agnostic or Atheist. All I said to her is that I think that it's wrong that some (again some) women use abortions as an alternative to contraception because our aunt had sex with a lot of men and instead of taking the pill or using a condom, she would have endless amounts of abortions, my sister freaked out saying I was wrong and according to my sister, a fetus can't feel anything within a week of development, she said I was full of BS (I don't like to curse in front of other Christians or anyone in general) and she let her friends who barely know her attack me calling me disgusting and saying that I'm not allowed in the conversation because it's all to do with women's rights and then I tried to explain again to my sister that I think abortions should only be done if the pregnancy was unplanned, if the mother is too young or the mother was raped or if it's going to cause a medical complication but not because the woman couldn't be bothered to use a condom then my sister turned around and said "A women can do whatever she wants, it's her choice and I agree with it" and now she no longer wants to speak to me.

And to add the cherry to the icing of the cake, an ex-partner of mine has been telling everyone who knows me that I slept with them, I slept with one 1 person and never again, the other only time I had intercourse was when I was under 16 and it was actually rape, I was forced against my will.
Then this other ex-partner of mine admitted to me that they slept with underage boys and girls and they're still doing it and I reported it to the police on numerous occasions and they are refusing to take any action. These girls and boys are people's children, it's really wrong.
 
Ok, I'm much younger than you brother but all I can tell you is that even though things look bad right now, nothing is worth taking your own life. I just lost a cousin and dear friend mine that way due to suicide and it still hurts me now. I just had a nightmare about her last night. Anyway, please, I'm asking you out of dear love and concern for you, get help now. God loves you and He has a purpose for you. You are in my prayers.
 
Don't do it. Funny I just wrote about my Hell experience in the other thread. The part of Hell I was shown was the area where suicides end up (among other sins). You end up in a black space, utterly devoid of God, and whatever you're experiencing now is magnified 1000x. And it is Forever. Suicide doesn't stop anything; it increases the anguish and locks it in.
 
Oh and one more thing, this is coming from somebody who contemplated suicide herself many times before, it just isn't worth it. You've got of your life to live still, even though we're all anxious for Heaven, don't take the easy way out. You're stronger than you realize, pray for the Lord to give you the strength to handle it and He will, I promise.

You have mentioned quite a few issues you are dealing with right now. In your own mind, what do you believe is most important to deal with first?
Here is a good Christian link for survivors of sexual abuse. http://www.net-burst.net/sex_abuse/abuse_survivor.htm

I suggest that you send a prayer request too. You need God's spiritual strength to get through this.

My two cousins were both murdered.
Then I lost both my grandfathers on both family sides.
My mother's father had to have one of his big toes amputated because he was diabetic and had gangrene and then he had a device fitted into his heart and he died two days after hospital discharge.
My grandfather on my father's side lived far away and nobody told me he died! - He had liver disease because he had a drinking problem, he eventually gave up after his liver packed up and he was admitted to hospital and gave his pub business to his brother (my great uncle) but eventually his liver failed and he passed away peacefully in his sleep.
Then there was my great-grandmother, back in February 2016, she became ill and was in and out of hospital and eventually her heart gave up.
My childhood best friend from school had terminal bowel cancer in 2008 and passed away.
My former neighbour died a week before my 26th birthday, I was evicted out of my flat the day of his funeral.
My two cousins were both stab victims.
Cousin A. was killed by gangsters and left for dead in an alleyway, cousin L. was stabbed inside her flat by her jealous boyfriend who was high on cocaine.
Cousin L. survived but she later died from a blood clot because her boyfriend took too long to phone for an ambulance.
I'm not trying to have a competition, all deaths are sad, I just forgot to mention them and I struggled a lot with some of these passings.
 
I've sent you a PM.
I've been suicidal before, and while it was extremely hard to see a way out at the time, I am glad I'm still alive today. Suicide is wrong, but God also understands your suffering and loves you. He's not angry at you.
 
I wrote this after contemplating suicide years ago after coming out of an abusive marriage that left me so empty inside and lost most of my self esteem. I pray it helps as there is always a light (Christ) at the end of the tunnel no matter what we feel or what we have been through.

MY TESTIMONY
May 18th 1997

I am lost, confused and scared. Will I ever fit in anywhere in this life? I'm hurting, but who cares. I'm lonely and all alone within myself. I've been so used and abused. Where and when will it be my turn! Where are the open arms to hold me and hug me, to tell me I do matter in this life! Where is the voice to calm my tears of pain? I give and give, but nothing gives back in return. I'm mad and angry for what has been taken away from me! How do I go on? I search for God to answer my needs, but never get an answer.

I am a voice that cries out in the wilderness. Will no one listen! Will no one care! I feel like I am invisible at times and when I pray I feel my prayers are falling on deaf ears. I know God loves me. He has rescued me from death and destruction. He has rescued me from wanting to commit suicide. I have never opened my feelings with anyone except God. I have purged and purged until I cannot cry anymore. God has forgiven and forgot my past, how do I! I've been told I am strong and can handle my situations, guess what, I am not strong and I can't handle it anymore! Please God help me!

I am now ready to open up. I can't deal with the pain anymore. I want to let loose and completely die to myself and live for God. I'm asking for total deliverance of all the holds Satan has on me. I'm tired of fighting this on my own. I'm tired of Satan laughing at me and making me feel like nothing and always coming against me. Jesus, save me from my torment! You have called me into service and I am not ready. Lord God please perform a complete deliverance in me. Make my feet straight for what you are calling me to do. Show me how to do your will. Lord you know my heart and you know what I feel I need to do. Open that door and prepare me away.

This is the answer God gave me. When you cry out to him, he will hear you and speak to your heart. You might not like the answer he gives you, but if you really listen it is always the right answer.

11 Kings 5:10, 11
But Naaman was wroth and went away and said, Behold, I thought he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God and strike his hand over the place and recover the leper.

God was showing me in the above scripture the beginning of relying solely on him and not what man could do for me. I was going from church to church trying to fit in with the people. I was trying to find answers and help for myself through the recognition of man. All that got me was more disappointment and frustration. When I learned to give myself totally over to the Lord and rely on him alone and his word is when my life completely changed for the better. Now I serve God with a glad heart and praise him for all his wonderful blessings.

I had no idea that you were in that horrible situation. Please know that even though we don't always agree that I still want to show love and support for my fellow Christian brothers and sisters. God bless you for your incredible strength and determination.:hug

We might not always agree and I'm fine with that as what is more important is to love one another :hug
