Answer 1

God Damn, What the hell is with all this Suicide Talk? If you are serious you are being a little *****! You want sympathy from people online so you can feel better for awhile, Screw that. In the end you are going to have to face reality and step in front of people whenever you go out. So what, you're not as popular as you thought you were, Life isn't fair but killing yourself is Selfish and you gotta know you have family that would be hurt if you killed yourself. People are going to hate you or like you, you have to accept that. Stop modeling your life after Paris Hilton!

Answer 2

Oh my goodness - okay - admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery, I think. Perhaps, you could involve yourself in a charity, or something that would make you feel good, to give yourself a sense of, self worth? It would be a big step, but perhaps if you joined the military, where you could see your hard work fly off into the sunset? Leave your mark on the world in some impassioned way, and people will love you for it. Seek advice from your family, your best friend, a minister, and if that doesn't help you, take a look at what death really looks like - visit a morgue or funeral home. That will be a sobering enough experience for you, and do as someone else said, you are going to die anyway so why not stick around and see what happens? Just think of what you would miss out on - making your own family, movies, vacations, art, scientific discovery, literature, the next (and hopefully someday the end) of the Final Fantasy series, anything, anything at all my friend, to give you hope, look into the sun, the sky, the clouds and the moon - and then, wonder what things would be like if suddenly, you were blind and you couldn't see those beautiful things anymore. That's what your untimely death would be like. Choose life for yourself as your parents did for you.

First of all, I hear you-- and you are not worthless. I guarantee you that you are loved and would be dearly missed should you decide to end your own life. I have friends whose loved ones have commited suicide, and they live with scars and guilt you wouldn't believe.

Second, let me tell you that you're not alone. I have felt the same way. I had cancer, and a mastectomy was part of the treatment two years ago. I have been struggling to get the surgery I need for reconstruction--and the insurance company won't cover it. Not the reconstruction, they have to pay for that by law. But the surgery I need to get to the point where I can be reconstructed.

I deal with major depression every day. I feel less than human, trapped, and worthless. I have seriously considered suicide for the first time ever in my life, and I am 40 years old. I have sought counseling and that helps. It also helps to know that, whatever I'm going thru--someone else out there is dealing with even bigger problems-- I guarantee it. Also, I try to help the people around me and make their life easier--you can't feel worthless if you are doing that to the best of your ability.

It can be a chemical imbalance you are going thru, so it's important to seek medical attention. Don't wait. But I don't believe, if there is no imbalance, that drugs are automatically the best answer. I believe we get our self esteem from trying and succeeding at new things--and too many of us don't try anymore. I believe we get our sense of self worth from how we treat others, and we need to pay more attention to that too.

Life is good, despite the crap we go through, if you only look for it. We need you still here, there's a lot of good you can do.

And don't compare yourself so much to others. It's not good, because we think everyone else has it so together. For instance: I meet a lot of people who say they envy me. I sing in a band, am very social, and they admire the way I came through the cancer with "such a good attitude". However, I just told you what a mess I am right now--they just don't see it. So, don't compare yourself to others--accept that they have their good points and you have yours. And they are probably going through a lot of the same things you are--deep down.

Treat yourself well.

"Suicide is the third leading cause of death in 15 to 24 year olds (after accidents and homicide). Teenagers are under a lot of stress to be liked, to do well in school, to get along with their families and to make important decisions that will lead to a happy adult life. Most of this stress is unavoidable, and it is natural to worry. But if you, or a friend, are fantasizing or talking about suicide, you should find help now."

Answer 6

Dude, what you think is not the reality, I figured it out easily just by reading your words. The problem here is that you think that way. Just stop being over consious about people not talking to you. Hey its your life, you gotto to live it yourself, so dont worry about people. As for the worthless thing- you got to make your worth yourself. I know its not easy but it aint that difficult either. I agree that you may be having problems growing up but dont let them overhelm yourself to the point that you consider sucide, everyone faces problems at some point of time or other. By reading your words I can tell it is more of boredom than depression. Engage yourself in activities you enjoy like playing a game. Remember that there are people who are worse of than you, people suffering from illness, disabilities and poverty yet they are living. If sucide was a solution then they wouldnt be here. So stand up dude, dont think about people, lack of friends and get that sick thought out of your mind. I know you have a happy future waiting for you. Just make it happen. Good luck!!!

Answer 7

You are a beautiful person with a beautiful soul. Be yourself and let others see the real you not some fake. Lot's of people APPEAR to have all the right qualities, friends,morals and values. In all honesty they are hidding and allowing themselves to be influenced by others. Just be your self and count everyday as a new day with a new blessing .

Answer 8

I've been there.
One thing you can try doing is to channel your frustrations into a talent, or into something constructive. For me, it was my music, art and my incredible ability to learn things quickly. When I felt the sorrow of life trying to take me I would get out my sketchbook and draw. SOmetimes I went up to a piano and played for hours on end. I also started writing blogs and poetry t help get my thoughts straight. It's done worlds of good.

One thing you might want to try is seeing a counselor. There is no indignity in seeking help from a therapist. You'd be surprised how many people do. It is conmfidential, and no one has to know. They allow you to speak your feelings and to process , opr sort out your feelings.

Believe me, suicide is no way to go. Open your mind to your spiritual helpers as well. They are there to help you through your tough paths in life.

Answer 9

You sound bipolar. You need medication to prevent suicide and manic episodes. See a psychiatrist, and stick to it. Bipolar meds are hard to get just right. You will have to work with this the rest of your life.

Answer 10
