I've been depressed all my life, but its just recently that it has gotten to the point where I want to kill myself and end all the pain. I've started seein a therapist, but I still want to just end it. What should I do? I know that my death won't be a big deal, seeing that people that say they know me, haven't noticed that I'm in so much pain!

I think alot more people than you realize have felt this way. I have suffered form depression also and I have felt that way from time to time. Read my life story (check my questions about this). I have been in an abusive marriage for 12 years and I have not killed myself even though I have thought about it before. I won't do it either because I know that when i put my mind and spirit to it , i can be happy and accomplish anything that I want in life. I look at all the people that I would hurt and leave behind. Not only my wonderful little children but my family and friends who love me. Do you believe in God? have you tapped into your spiritual side? That is what helps me everyday. My brother killed himself 2 years ago and caused so much pain and suffering for every one of us. please don't do it. Continue with your therapist as I will and you can email me whenever you like. Please don't do it. love you, V.

You need to get to the root of your on-going depression, since you say that you have felt this way all of your life. Sounds to me like possibly a chemical imbalance, which can be easily corrected. You say that those close to you have not noticed the pain. Could it be that they are just used to the way that you constantly display yourself and therefore don't see much of a difference? Whatever...seek professional help in this matter. You can't do it by yourself, or on this site, no matter how sympathetic everyone seems to be. You don't need sympathy right now. You need answers. Regardless..don't take the easy way out. My father did it when I was only 13...he left 6 children behind (all grown now) that all have very different issues revolving around the event. You sound like a nice person...don't do anything that will ultimately hurt many more people around you. Good luck and God bless.

I am sorry you are hurting so much. I have suffered from depression and anxiety. Maybe therapy is not enough, try finding a support group in your area or talk to someone on a suicide hotline. Maybe you need meds. You death WOULD be a big deal, life is so precious and not everyone gets to experience life. Sometimes people act like they don't notice your pain because they don't know how to help or just can't deal with it. Inevitably a suicide hurts more people than you know. Please hang on and find a support group.

People will notice, and you would be missed. Keep on with your therapist. Seek out a good, bible based church. Your life is so much more valuable than you are able to see right now. God put you here for a reason, a GOOD reason. Believe that. Believe that you are capable of so much more, and that you are loved by many. Your life cannot change unless you allow it to change. Strive to get beyond the negative thinking and into the positive.
Good luck and God Bless...

I have been in the place you have been. I suffered from many traumatizing things in my childhood, none of which I will say. But this isn't about me, this is about you. Please believe me when I say it is never worth it to take your own life. It may look so inviting, but please know that if you did it would mean that Satan has won. Don't give him the satisfaction of making you feel this way. I am not trying to force religion on anyone. I just know that God was the only thing, and I do mean only thing, that pulled me from my dark place that I was. I know it sound so corny and you've probably heard that a million times, but it is so very true. Don't be afraid to share you pain with those you are closest with. Please don't take your life. If you must call someone and talk with them. If you have a church pastor or a reliable friend, please call them. If you feel you can't be trusted to be alone, then go and stay with a friend or family member. I will pray for you. I offer my prayers and I pray to God that you will find peace. God bless.

this is a very serious disorder that inflicts a lot of people and there is never an easy answer, I know that you may think that people won't care but you are wrong. Death is never taken lightly by anyone. I may have a bias point of view because my Father committed suicide and so did 2 of my friends, all of them thought no one would care and they do. Just remember you have a million years to be dead and so many opportunities in this life. Keep with your therapy I promise it will pay off eventually

naw, it just isnt worth it. life is something you only get one shot at, and you can spend it doing whatever you want. if something about your life depresses you in particular, instead of giving in to sadness, you should try to appreciate the opportunity to make a positive change in your life.
what i mean to say is that you have the power to change the bad things in life. you can never know what death brings, but you know that there is happiness to be had in this life, if you work for it. problems are temporary.
and you can't judge your self worth based off what other people have or haven't noticed. you're an individual. you have a reason to live, just because you're alive now. decide what you need to be happy. decide what needs to change. then make that change happen. you can do it! i am.

based on your comments it sounds like you want the attention of your family and friends, try being a bit more vocal about what's going on in your head and try to get their sympathy.
People are not mind readers you know. People can only do so much for you as it is, but to the point of guessing, reading minds and going out of their way to find something wrong with you?
I think you are expecting a bit much.
Don't kill yourself. Secret: you are going to die some day soon anyway!--
like the rest of us.....
Be happy you are even alive and have been given an opportunity to live, since it is reserved only for the most fortunate.
HOW UNLIKELY IS YOUR BIRTH.

Well talking sure can't hurt, and your in the right place for that. I love being alive for a million little things which is odd becausemost of the time I have a really ho-hum life, but they say that God is in the details, so maybe it's all the little good things that make all the big bad things tolerable. Good Luck!

Call on God!! HE is the one that will take care of all the pain you may feel. Remember pain is a lost feeling that God removes and opens a door full of Hope. HE wants to cradle you in the palm of HIS hand. Life is short enough....You need to have faith that ALL WILL BE WELL, no matter how tough life seems to be. Nothing, no pain, no anger, no sadness is too much for GOD! When we are at are lowest and call upon God, HE will answer!!ALWAYS!!!! You have done the first step and thats asked for help...now just open your soul and hear God! HE gave you life....you are a Child of God....All you have to do is LIVE!! HE will do the rest! I will pray for you!!! Be strong, God Bless.
