do you think that if you kill your self, that your soul is lost forever?
im afraid if i just 'do it' by conventional means... then i'll be haunted and stuck between worlds...so if i do really dangerous acts, and just happen to die in the process, will my soul be realeased? tell me what you think..cause i dont want to be here anymore...thank you..

Suicide is NEVER the answer!!!! Even if you don't want to be here, think of all the people around you that you'll hurt! Even if it feels like no one cares and no one will miss you, they will!!!!!! Someone I knew when I was in 7th grade committed suicide and didn't think anyone would care... He had over 2000 people come to his funeral. The line for the viewing went all the way around the block!!! More people care about you than you'll ever know!!
And think about all the things you'll miss in life!! Even if life is crappy right now, how do you know you won't meet the perfect girl that you're going to spend your life with next month or next year? How do you know that you won't go to the perfect college or get the perfect job if you never make it there? You never know what life would have had to offer if you abandon it now! Please talk about this to someone you trust. A parent, a friend, a sibling, a neighbor, anyone!! Suicide will not solve anything or make anyone feel any better, it's almost a "coward's way out". Please please please speak to someone about this. You can contact me if you want, I'd be glad to help in any way I can, even if it's just listening to your problems. Sometimes and anonymous ear is just as good as a friendly one because we can't judge you.

What happens when we die is uncertain. There's not one single fact about death except you can't and won't come back.
to answer your question about souls, i want you to watch the movie "What Dreams May Come". I don't believe our souls are "lost". I believe pretty much the same thing that movie illustrates - when we die - our "afterlife" is based on the state of mind our soul is in - which means if you are thinking about suicide, your soul cannot be feeling very happy and chances are, in a realm of unlimited physical boundaries, it could be a thousand times worse than anything present on earth. You ask about doing dangerous acts (things that you could do that would give you the risk of dying) - and it wouldn't matter, because its all about the state of your soul, which is why you need to concentrate on making your soul feel better.
How long have you been feeling this way, that life sucks and you don't want to be a part of it anymore? If its been only a short time, i suggest talking to some trusted friends, making lists of all the things you enjoy doing, and the people who care about you and you care about. Write it all out in a journal. Focus on the problems you have and what can be done to fix them.
If this isn't the first time you've seriously thought about it, or the feelings have been lingering, then you probably need to look into real help - with friends/family/anonymous helpines in your phonebook/a stranger you meet on the street - if you continue to think the way you are thinking now, it will never get better.
type "suicide" in yahoo search - millions of pages will come up with real answers on how to deal with your feelings.

Dork! Don't worry about your soul being "stuck" between two worlds. Whether you eat a shotgun or run blind folded into traffic or go B.A.S.E. jumping or ride a motor cycle without a helmet, and you die...if your intention is to die then it is suicide. Suicides only have one place to go and that's down. If you think your life is bad now, just wait. Imagine having to do the absolute worst thing that you hate every day, over and over, for the rest of eternity...naked...with your grandmother laughing at your manhood. But whatever. If you want to kill yourself go ahead. It's just one less person expelling carbon dioxide into the atmosphere increasing the greenhouse effect. As a matter of fact...come over here and I'll take care of your problem for you.

I'm sure that if you kill yourself then its considered a murder and it is a sin. so I'm not sure what you think about that view. but i do also think that if you put yourself in a dangerous position to kill yourself, then you and God both know that its an attempt to kill yourself without a gun (parachuting and messing up on purpose) then its still considered suicide. if the intention is to die in the process of doing a dangerous stunt, then you cannot talk God into believing that it was an accident when you have thoughts of death in your mind at the time.

You would do well to soft-pedal those concerns about souls after death and sublimate them with more consideration for life.
Unless you are in irreversible pain - physical or mental - there is hope for relief. See an appropriate doctor.
Above all - don't be another 'failed' suicide, it'll further harm self-esteem.
Punishment can't reach successful suicides but plays hell with those left behind. Get a grip and cope.

Hmmm.. Suicide... Is it your soul that you are worried about? I don't think you want to die. I think you are concerned for the LIVING you. Your life belongs to us all, and you can't take that away. I won't try to talk you out of it but just think about how great it is to be able ask strangers for help? There is so much that you haven't finished yet, so why not stick around and see how the story turns out. It may not be as bad as you think. There's plenty of love to go around, just ask for some.

Well, I know you might not want to hear this but, just give me a chance to tell you something! Biblically, it does not state what happens to a person when they commit suicide, it is most people's educated guess..But, in the bible, Exodus 20,it does say, Do not commit murder! God loves you, not the way the world loves you, but a more higher spiritual love. The last thing he would want, is for you to take your own life! because you will be held accountable to him if you do. And no, your soul does not linger in limbo or from world to world, leave those theologies to hollywood and television.
Do not listen to the devil, he is a liar and the father of lies. He would love for you to commit suicide, he does not want you to live and be happy with your Heavenly Father.
Listen to all the positive messages people are giving you on this board, don't give up on your life, we all struggle, and go through tough, ruff, miserable times, but this is for our development and growth, to learn how to handle different situations.
TRUST ME ON THIS... BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY...FIRST, (ARE YOU LISTENING), FIRST you should pray to God, in Jesus name, and thank him for everything, and then spill your guts out to him, he already knows what is bothering you, but he wants you to come to him and pray to him and talk to him and give your life to his son Jesus Christ and he will renew your soul!
Just try it soon, do not put it off, pray and accept Christ into you life, then continue following him. But do not take your own life, you have so much to live for, you do not know what your future holds!
So choose life! Live and focus on making (YOU) happy!!!

if you go the religious aspect then you are damned because suicide is murder and murder is one of the ten commandments my personal belief is that you would be forgiven for an act committed during extreme pain but as bad as it may seem now it can and will get better suicide is described as a permanent fix to a temporary problem find someone you can trust to talk to because nothing is ever worth your life please believe me I've been there and tried and found out the problem could be fixed and I and you are both worthy of the life given us

i see that your concerned about your soul after your dead, but what about your LIFE!!!
What about being alive? what about all the people that love you, that will be devastated by your loss? what about all the experiences and unknown joys you'll never get to have when you're alive?? We have no idea what happens in the after-world, but we do know that in the living world, people recover from depression and lead totally happy fulfilling lives!
