Indeed, I have. In junior high school though and it had nothing to do with being illegal. I wasn't aware of that situation yet. Dark days. I almost came super close to ending it. I've never told anyone, ever. Now, I look back during that time and I just cringe. I wouldn't dream of doing that now. But, it has made me stronger. We all go through bad situations from time to time. The best thing is to talk it out and not let it eat you up inside. Just like the way you are doing now. We all feel that way, you are not alone in that regard. I am confident that come May we will all get our chance at happiness. With a username like Optimism, I expect you to live up to that standard. Like that way I do with my username.

That one kid who took his own life last year- Juaquin something or rather - we were sad when it happened, but basically few people will remember him. The saddest part there was DACA was announced a few months later.

Now we're potentially only months away from very good news.
^This.

Also, to answer OP's post I'm sure I've dealt with it just not anything too severe but one thing that did help me a lot was volunteer work. It made me feel useful to know that people acknowledged me for what I did and just the fact that I got to meet so many people and even hear about their own struggles made me realize that everyone has it tough in their own way.

Not at all. I suppose that is what people mean when they say "speak with experience."

I am glad I was able to help you in some way. Stay safe, my friend.

I've been battling with mine for years now and sometimes I just get ideas in my head where i feel like taking my own life and doing something drastic to show the goverment that they need to do something about immigration and stop playing with the undocumented people's lives. maybe that will push the envelope and they will stop fucking around.
No. Never. Never even thought about it.
I love life.

Party like a rock star!

I've been down sometimes but not to that point. Little has change for me since I received my EAD a few months ago but there are other issues that prevents me from living a happier life. I'm good at this moment but hopefully there will be a better future.
