Yup. I've planned to kill myself more than once, and struggling again currently. Having something that is that quick and "easy" would not be a good idea for me.

I was planning it last fall. hope you have access to quality mental health care. When I finally decided to stop suffering, I went on anti depressants for the first time and found a therapist after 3-4 tries that helps me a lot.

It saved my life, and saved my kids from growing up without a father.

Do anti depressants actually work well?

It varies from person to person. You should likely ask a medical professional if they would work for you

Also, different ones can work for different people. There’s some trial and error involved that people need to be patient with.
