If you never had a single friend a day in your life and suffered with mental illness your entire life but didn't make enough money to buy medication to treat your illness and your family all hated you for making up your illness to begin with, would you kill yourself? Would you suffer day after day alone, without friends and without meaningful relationships and without being respecting at work and without ever enjoying a day in your life?

I don't know why so many other humans are so dependent on other people's company. I have many hobbies. I like computers, video games, music, growing plants, solving puzzles, reading books, watching movies, etc. I would enjoy myself even if everybody else in the world completely ignored me or hated me. Even if I didn't have much money, the library loans out books and movies for free (as long as they're returned on time), and I get the starting material for my plants from the food I buy at the grocery store. (Most just rot and don't grow, however. Pineapples work best: I've eaten four pineapples, and three of the tops have become rather big pineapple plants now. Avocadoes don't work so well. Out of 20 avocado seeds, only one has spouted. Bell peppers have a lot of tiny seeds, and I usually get at least one sprout from the whole mess of seeds in one bell pepper. They tend to die quickly, though.)
There are many things people can do to enjoy themselves, even without other people present.
The mental illness part might be a bigger problem, however. Some mental illnesses don't impair enjoying oneself, but others do. If money is a problem, maybe try seeing if there are any free clinics that can help.

I have had mental illness all my life. I been treated for everything; i have little to no friends at all. And to tell you the truth i don't need them, and you don't either. We are born into this world alone, but we are born into society, and it tells us that we need friends, family and relationships to be happy, but it is not true at all. All you need is yourself and be true to you. You don't need the respect of others, because for the most part nobody is respectful this day and age. Everyone is up for themselves and most of them don't care about anyone else. We are living in a world full of little every day wars and all of us are fighting each other. It really is sad; but what can one do?
All i know is that death is not the answer; find something that makes you happy and indulge in that (has long as it is not drugs, they make you stupid) Get off that black cloud, you are the only one who can make your sun shine (i know it sound dumb, but is true)

Well i think you need to feel better about yourself,get help,talk to family and friends. You have got to have atleast one friend you can talk to. Sounds like your really down on yourself-pull yourself together and know theirs always tomorrow,we all go through periods to where we feel like giving up on life-but you need to find your own way out of this depression
good luck!

If you are talking about yourself, please believe there are people who care. There are places that can help you if you don't have the money. Start with your local health dept. There is hope for you, please don't give up. I'm praying for you, as I'm sure many others are.
