Is this statement true?

Question

There hasn't been a time where you haven't wanted to die. There is something wrong with you and like a sickness hoping that one day you will wake up and it will all go away.

Answer 1

It's true for me, but although I want to die, it's the hope that I'll wake up to a better day someday that keeps me alive.

Answer 2

If that statement is true for you, you can get help. I am going through depression/anxiety and I'm on medication and in therapy and it's helping. I want to live, but I've had times when I couldn't picture living much longer if I was going to keep feeling the same way... but that can pass if you get help, and life can be very different. You can still enjoy life.

Answer 3

it isn't true of me.
there have been years in my life when it was, but i'm lucky that i never really acted on those feelings.
i think i felt that way when i didn't have any real reason to live. i needed purpose. now i have that purpose.
i needed faith, now i have that faith. i've walked the road of my life in an uneven stride, sometimes with blinders on sometimes without. i think it's the times without the blinders that i've felt the best because i've been more aware of how my actions effect the ones that love me and whom i in turn love. they are gratified by my love and appreciation of them. it's when i fall into my head and thus put the blinders on that i'm mainly self aware and the displeasure of that causes a downward spiral known as depression.
i am medicated now, in my 30's and my stride has become much more even because i got "help". but really i helped myself through the will to seek it and the acceptance that i can't change these things about myself permanently. i am, after all, who i am. so the medication supresses tendencies in my chemistry that cause me to be angry and morbidly depressive.
i'm not heavily medicated. i'm quite sentient, aware and emotionally awake and involved. the meds just lighten my load a bit.

Answer 4

A transsexual person once described their life to me like this. Their whole life they wanted to die before the next day because of their gender. the person felt much better after changing genders and having the surgery. It never did go away. Finally in her 60s she was able to take some action. It's kind of uncanny how much your description resembles what the transsexual woman said to me. She was a man before for the first 60 years of her life.

Answer 5

Yes, it is true. Death is part of life. To not want to move on to the next step of your life, is to not be human. I suppose it's also partly the unknown. If you don't understand something, you are drawn to it. You want to understand, you want to have it explained to you. That's life. True statement.

Answer 6

true for me,I have always been suicidal..I tried it once when I was 16..Im 30 and the feeling wont stop.Luckily I had a child who gives me the strength not to do it.I never want her wondering if mommy killing herself had anything to do with her.Its strange I could put any member of my family through it,but not my girl

Answer 7

Do ur work. It's ur responsibility. Result is not in ur hand. Don't think about it. Don't be afraid. Death is a universal truth, which everyone have to face. It comes un-noticed. Don't worry. Be happy.

Answer 8

Chris,

You sound like you're experiencing the signs of depression--which CAN be successfully treated. I'd IMMEDIATELY see my doctor and heed his advice on treatments for this condition.
