Answer 1

Get a therapist to talk you out of it.

Answer 2

Kayla, I had similar feelings when I was a teen. When I learned more about depression later on, I discovered that I had been flitting in and out of depression during much of my childhood and that I had spent two years being suicidal. I also spent a good 5 years contemplating running away but couldn't see a way of actually doing it. (I lived in a very remote place for many years.)

I suffered in silence for years. The friends I had weren't great at keeping secrets so I didn't feel I could trust them if I let on what I felt. The only thing that got me through it was writing in a diary everything I felt and keeping in mind that one day, I would no longer be in the situation I was in.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. If you can contact a suicide hotline or manage to talk to a counsellor, pastor/minister, something, it would undoubtedly help. If you can't, just keep focusing on the light at the end of the tunnel. You will make it there one day and you will be glad that, despite the suffering, you got through it onto better things. You might have heard about people leaving their careers on a high note--don't leave this world before you get a chance to experience that high note.

Answer 3

How does your life stink?

In typical depression, someone feels sad about something and trys to withdraw from the world to get away from it. They feel a strong urge to just go someplace quiet and cry for hours and contemplate how miserable it all is. I should know. I have been there. The sleepless nights spent contemplating how futile getting up is, the thoughts of how to kill yourself and what will happen after, the desire above all else to be ALONE where no one and nothing can bother me.

I got over this by realizing that doing very little constructive activity and being alone all the time was part of what made me depressed. I started to make a deliberate effort to go out and make friends even when I did not want to, to do schoolwork when I did not want to, to have fun when I would really rather feel sorry for myself.

You may not have the exact same feedback loop, but I would bet that there is something that you do in response to stress that makes it worse. Whatever it is, identify it and break the cycle by any means necessary. You can be free.

If you update your question with the details of the problems in your life, both I and most of the other questioners would be happy to dispense advice.

Answer 4

Life will get better, If you commit suicide you will never know what it is like to experince the rest of your life. Things can get so hard at times, i know that for a fact. And it feels like nothing in the world is going right, and all you want to do is die. You feel empty inside, and where you heart is supposed to be, there is a dark hole. Suicidal thoughts can be the worse thing to feel in your life. And you can say "you can't talk me out of this" but honestly i think all you really need and want is the attention, to be wanted, to be cared about. Other wise I dont think you would have posted this. Because people that commit suicde just do it, they dont tell people. So please, tell some one what you are feeling, if you need to tell your parents, they can bring you to a hospital and it seriously can make your life turn around. Please just find help.

Answer 5

I will tell you one thing life...it never gets easier. I have been through what you are going through and you know what? For a long time i thought i was cured!! I wanted to die so bad...but who said life was going to be easy. It is these things that makes us remember what it is to be alive. I look back at life now and think about all the times i thought i was alone.....and see that truly i wasnt. There is something bigger than us! You just have to be strong and believe in yourself and your destiny. Dont waste your live and put an end to it change it and make it the best you can. Whatever your going through.....hold on. You are worth it! You were put here for a reason. And i may not know you, but i believe that.

Answer 6

Can't stink worse than mine. At 34 I live w/ my drunk mother, my controlling father, my attitudial 33 year old brother, my 83 year old grandfather, and, a piece of heaven, my three year old daughter. Now, I continue to live on and work trying to get myself out of this situation that I'm in. It's part of life. We have good times and we have bad times. Take it one day at a time and keeping working to make your dreams reality. That's what life is all about.

Answer 7

No. Your life can't possibly be that bad. Perhaps life has dealt you a terrible hand, perhaps you simply expected too much of life, but no matter what, nothing in your life can possibly explain suicide. If you are young and the people you depend on abuse you, then you can always just run away from them. If you feel betrayed by everyone you have come to know and love, then you can always leave them.

You seem like a perfectly nice person that does not deserve whatever makes you feel this way. For that, I apologize, but we live in a cruel ******* world. Theres not much I can do about it. There is always hope, please never submit to such a decision. I believe that theres someone that cares for you and to end your life is not fair to them.

Answer 8

If you want people to try and talk you out of it then that must mean you already know the answer is NO. My sister passed away last year and I watched her struggle to hold on to life, why on earth would you want to take such a precious gift and throw it away. Don't give up, someday you will look back at this time and say wow, I'm so glad I listened to all those people on Yahoo. Lots of times it helps just to talk to someone.

Answer 9

You need to stop. Feelings follow thoughts, not the other way around. So you need to challenge yourself to think positive thoughts.

If you continue having the negative thoughts, they are a symptom of depression. Have you spoken to an adult or caregiver about this (school counselor, nurse, doctor) Go to a psychiatrist -- a medical doctor that can get you on an antidepressant, and go to a counselor --a talking doctor to help you get a better outlook on taking control of your feelings.

Finally, your life is a blessing to you and to others. The world needs you -- you have been given gifts to use by God and He wants you to put them to good use and stop thinking about dying.

Answer 10

Don't let me stop you from ending your life if that's what you want. Personally, I think you are just desperate for attention. If you think dying is a good way to get the attention that you need, that go for it. The world is a bit too overcrowded as is.

I'm sure that isn't the answer you were expecting, but I think it is time for you to learn a valuable lesson in life. LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS GREAT.

The way I see it, you have two choices: give up or grow up. I know you aren't going to kill yourself. If you were, you would have done it by now. There are several ways to accomplish it, but you lack the spine to follow through. This is the same reason why life is so terrible for you. I think it's time for you to grow up.

What is making your life so bad? You don't have to tell me but you do need to have a very clear idea of why you believe that suicide is a better option than fixing your problems. Personal destiny is something that you control. If you don't like your currently life, why not change it instead of giving up?

My recommendation for you is to not end your life before you have lived it to its fullest. If you think that your life is so terrible, join the military. You will either die honerably or grow stronger. It will give you the chance to overcome whatever personal obsticles that you have. It will give your life challenge and purpose. It will give you structure and order. It will give you a chance to see the world in a way that you never would have seen before.

After the military, reconsider whether or not you want to end your life. You will have lived a fuller life than most. You will be stronger than you have ever been. You will have overcome adversity most of us never even dream of. You will have new friends, new skills and purpose. Women in uniform also get plenty of attention. Why not give a couple of years away before ending it all?

Answer 11

I thin kwhen someone wants to commit suicide that they have not run their life properly. Something it not orgnaized and logical.You have gotten yourself in a mess. "Yes" . You are responsible enough to get yourself out of it and live through the mess and sort it out enough to get to the other side. Putting your self in the ground over it is not the solution as it is so final. Are you sure you want to make things so FINAL!!! Think about it more and ask for help somewhere. You may just find it is there for the asking.
I hope your Guardian Angel guides you to a better solution than suicide.
