Answer 2

there are always options. how do you know what awaits you when you do end it? you never know. Life is a gift, dont hurt the people who love you by commiting suicide. when you reach the bottom there is no where left to fall so you have to climb up. why quit and give up. If you wake up tommorow and the sun is shining, if you can see and hear and feel there really is alot to live for. Every cloud has a silver lining even if you might not see it now. Who knows what life has in store for you, you may be the next billionare, you are in this world for a reason, make somebody else smile, go to an orphanage and "adopt" a brother or sister. Give them some of your time every week, its amazing how helping others can make you feel better. Wallowing in self pity isnt going to help anyone, not even you. Go out, make somebody elses day. There is someone out there whose life is much worse than yours.

Answer 3

You have plenty of options but you need to stop focusing on the negative in your life as if that is all you look at it is all you will see. You have so many people who have picked up on your depression and who are reaching out to via your blog. Either pick one of them to talk to about your feelings or talk to a friend... Or call the Samaritans. Whoever you chose to talk to please just do it NOW! (08457 90 90 90)

First thing in the morning go to your GP and discuss how you are feeling. They will be able to refer you for more professional help and may offer you some medication to help take the edge off while you learn to deal with things.

As someone whose whole family died by the time I was 27, not to mention some less sensational dramas in my life, I can totally understand the feeling of isolation and being totally alone, lack of options for my future, pointlessness and suicidal thoughts. Help is out there but you have to be willing to see it and not ignore those who genuinely want to help. People in depression often push 'helpers' away as the depression strangely becomes a comfortable place to be and there is almost a fear of hope and moving on.

I know I am probably not the best option but you know how to contact me if you want to. If you want any advice on coping with depression feel free to get in touch. Been there, done that... there isn't a t-shirt but if there was I would have that too!

Don't do anything rash and try to look for the positive, even if it is only something small.

Take care.

Answer 4

There are options, you just cannot think of them right now. First, just tell yourself, "not today." It is not a crime to think that way, I did once in my life and am glad I didn't do it. Today I take an anti-depressant named Lexapro. I would be more reluctant to say I went to a proctologist than a psychiatrist. Your mind can be just as prone to illness and fault as the rest of your body, even more so. I would suggest that you pick up the phone and speak to someone. A relative, a friend. a clergyman. You can call a suicide prevention hot-line. You can even call 911 and ask for help; they will probably take you to a local hospital and a nurse or doctor there could help you. Remember, it is a one way street, you cannot come back and reverse what you did. Just speak to someone! Please ;-(

Answer 5

Posting on here is a good start. You would be less isolated if you logged on to a forum or chatroom and started talking to people - try to find out about others and what makes them tick - this will help you to worry less about your own problems.

Are you thinking of acting on your suicidal thoughts, or are you just having thoughts? If you are thinking out plans to act, you should ring your local mental health team and tell them. Otherwise, try to keep busy and to talk to people - you will feel better with time.

Answer 6

Isolation may give you peace of mind. Not wanting to go on means you have reached a point in your path that seems impossible. Buck up, face the worst, and put yourself in an enviornment that will lift you up instead of dragging you down. Options are endless, if you allow them to be.

hello friend. ive got a fast solution for the moment. please do this. go to the drug store right now and get a bottle of st johns wort. its an herb that has stopped my over actuve mind. it works fast. take 2 in the morn. but when you get it take 2 right away. youll feel better within a couple hours. you will be pleasantly surprised with the results. it makes all the unwanted thoughts go away. then this gives you room to think about good thoughts and possitive ways to cope. to some things that may have bothered you before, it will give you an i dont care about that so intensly no more. it helps you go with the flow.
after you take this,. email me and tell me your situation so maybe i can help. ive been there. still am there. but ive been able to learn enough to help me cope with life again. [e-mail]

Answer 8

the fact that you're reaching out to people for help is a good sign.
look inside yourself and think of what is making you depressed because whatever it is, it can be fixed and things probably arent as bad as you think.
Go visit relatives. Your family is always there for you...so go reach out to them.
Another thing that helps me when im blue is to listen to music. Especially songs that you can relate to. This way you wont feel so isolated because you'll know that there are people out there that feel the same as you do.
DONT DO ANYTHING STUPID
Good luck!

Answer 9

Time changes everything so this is the perfect time to procrastinate!
Yesterday's history, tomorrow's the future.
Today is the present because it's a gift. :-)
If you're isolated and have a computer then you have communication! I never feel alone with my computer. There's alway somebody to talk to.
Nice photo btw.. I need to choose something for mine since I have no pics of myself. Any suggestions?

Answer 10

Hi Ku

Please, please, please remember that although you may feel isolated, you are NOT alone.

My suggestion is to email the Samaritans at: [e-mail]

You might prefer to write down how you are feeling rather than picking up the phone. Many people do. The Samaritains receive over 1750 e-mails a week.

Samaritans 'listen' in total confidence and without judgement, whatever your situation.

These guys will be able to help you. Please give them a go.

Answer 11

How old are you? You really have some problems. You need to talk to someone close to you now. Do not wait, you will be glad you did. If you are asking for help, then you know there is a problem. Look in the phone book, maybe a hotline you can call to talk to someone.
