I am going through a lot and Thinking of Suicide. What should I do?

Question

My dad and I are argueing. My boyfriend and I are about to break up. My mom is starting to become Bulimic and My best friend hates me because she is in love with a guy that I wont hook her up with. I am really starting to think about Suicide. I just think that nothing here is really worth it. What do I do? I need help.

Answer 1

I went through a rough time like that too. The best thing I ever did was to go see a counselor. She helped me talk through a lot of things and she helped me understand the feelings I was having and what I could do about them. I also went to a doctor who diagnosed me with clinical depression and gave me a prescription for Zoloft. There are a lot of stigmas surrounding depression, but you shouldn't worry about what other people say. You need to do whatever you can to get the help you need.

Answer 2

Hon, a few weeks down the road you are going to be thanking your "lucky stars" that you didn't go near the suicide route...honestly, there is nothing in your life or anyone elses that cannot be overcome with time.

Your dad and you are arguing: You know this and you do what you can to avoid it...if your dad is simply looking for things to argue about...be the mature one and simply tell him you mean no disrespect but you really don't wish to argue with him any longer as it's only making the two of you unhappy.

The boyfriend: there will be another one along shortly after...the breakup will help clear the way for you to meet the new fellow, something you wouldn't be able to do otherwise

Your mom is becoming bulimic...if you have a doctor, mention it to him or encourage her to seek help...obviously someone in her life is putting her down due to a weight issue that might not even exist except in the mind of the person telling her she's overweight. Or, she's seeking attention that she hasn't been getting...possibly from your dad?

Your best friend hates you: if she likes this guy so much, isn't it better if she does the pursuing? The guy might not appreciate your getting involved and even if he did, will you always be around to hook your girlfriend up with someone? You also run the possibility that the guy likes you instead...then what happens?

Life kicks aren't solved by suicide darlin', think about those you would leave behind to mourn your loss...think of the possibilities you have within your life, not only now but into the future.

Consider those people who are bound to wheelchairs, have no legs, or use of them, are quadraplegic, have cancer, are homeless, deal with debilitating illness daily...etc., etc. There's far more for which you can have thankfulness for and these issues are "bumps" that make us the people that we are and grow to be.

A strong person faces their bumps in the road and deals with them directly, head on or lets them be working themselves out on their own...choose those that you need to deal with directly and let the others work themselves out.

Yes, you have a lot going on right now and it's pulling you in all kinds of directions...deep breath and take each issue on it's own, deal with it the best you can and no matter how it turns out...know that you dealt with it in a mature, common sense fashion. Somethings are just meant to run their course...you'll know which ones those are.

Hang tight...you will be okay and so will everyone else in these scenarios. If it all gets really heavy ... seek the help of a medical professional, sometimes we all just need an unbiased person to give us a fresh perspective

Answer 3

You are going to get a lot of idiots on here telling you to go ahead but believe me, things do get better. Try to ignore as much of the negative in your life and concentrate on the positive no matter how little you might see. Suicide is never the answer. If you feel that professional help might do you some good then go for it.
Life changes on a day to day basis. What you are going through now will seem like nothing 5 years from now. Live YOUR life, don't let others control how you feel. Boyfriends come and go, parents are a pain in the butt sometimes but that's their problem, your best friend is mad because you won't hook her up with some guy? Why can't she talk to him herself. Some best friend.

Life is worth it.

Answer 4

Don't think about suicide at all because of the following reasons:
1) Just because your dad & you argue, there has to be a GOOD reason for it . If not, then STOP.
2) There will be other boyfriends
3) Tell your dad about your mom's eating disorder. he will help her get out of it
4) Introduce yourself to the guy that you won't hook up with your best friend. There is always some good in people.
Think about it. Suicide isn't the answer. Everything will get better in the future!

Answer 5

Seek counseling immediately! Start withyour school guidence counsoler. Suicide is not the answer. It is selfish and a cowards way out. Not to mention that it destroys lifes forever. Many teens and even adults argue with their parents. It's normal. Try to just stay out of his way and don't provoke the arguement. Boyfriends come and go. You are young and have plenty of time to date. Your best friend is being childish. Is there a reason you won't hook her up with this guy? Tell her the truith. Life is worth living, yes, we all go through hard times now and again but we get through it. You can get through this. God never gives us more than we can handle. Somehow we manage - even when we think we can't. Consider this one of life'smany lessons.we learn from these lessons and we walk away a stronger person for doing so.
Your mother needs to see a Dr. to help her with her disorder. Tell her how you feel and how much you love her and that this is the reason you want her to get help. Feel free to contact me if you seek more guidance. Trust me honey, things will get better.

Answer 6

For me the only thing that works is thinking that i'll never get this opportunity again .. who knows what happens after death ... don't worry how bad things are now there is always a way to make it better or at least start to. You have to ride this life out till the end .. and i can pretty much guarentee that as soon as you meet someone else or find something that makes you happy you'll wonder why you thought these things in the first place. If that's not enough think about all the people who have started of worsethan you and gone on to be extremely happy. It just seems bad now because it is now ..

Answer 7

Seriously, you need to get a grip. Take a look at the things in your life that are causing you grief and analyze them a bit. You could probably do a little compromising with the people around you and things would be better. Talking to people and not letting conversation devolve into argument is important, even if you have to take a few rude jabs during a conversation. Grow some thicker skin and try to be there for your mother.

Suicide is not an answer, it's very selfish. All of these problems will still exist after you're gone and it will just make them worse.

Answer 8

Dont even think about suicide. You need to find some true friends that you can talk to, and ask them for help. If you feel you can't trust anyone close to you, then call a counselor. You need to get some help right away! I know you feel as if your world is crashing right now, but things will get better. You have to hit rock bottom to make it to the top. The only way from here is up! Go take a hot bath. This always helps me to relax. And don't forget.. you're not alone! Everyone feels like this at times!

Answer 9

Peace to you Baby Girl. First, I want you to know that all the problems you are experiencing right now are temporary!! Suicide is forever! DO NOT try to solve a temporary problem with a permanent solution.

Sounds like you are going through a very hard period. Know that this too shall pass, hang in there. Please call a suicide hot line. I don't know where you are but if you dial 911 they can connect you to someone. Also, please talk to a trusted adult in your life, a minister, a school teacher or counselor, an Aunt or Uncle, a neighbor. And last but definitely not least, please pray and know thatt God loves you so much He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to forgive us for all of our sins and transgression. Invite the peace of a relationship with the Lord can give you. You cannot change your Dad, you can only change how you react to him. Your Mom has a medical condition, you are not a doctor and she cannot be healed until she recognizes tha she has a problem.......change the way you react to her. Your "best Friend" doesn't sound like much of a friend, maybe you need to put her in your acquaintance folder and let her deal with her own boy fiend not your problem problem.
Life is worth it! There is a whole world out there waiting for you. LIVE!!!!!!!

Answer 10

I know that the world seems like it is coming down on you, but believe me, there is a whole lot more to live for. Your parents arguing is not your problem, it is theirs. The worst that could happen is they get divorced. Again, this is their problem. Sure, it would effect you in the sense that you will live with one of them primarily and see less of the other, but your life will go on. As for your mother being bulimic, this is her problem as well. Do what you can to provide her with info on why this is not a good habit and that she needs to get help. That is all you can do. As for your best friend hating you for something so minimal, then she is not truly your friend. She should know that your having a hard time right now and shouldn't be acting this way. Friends come and go and although she seems like your best friend now, you'll have many more BFF's in the future. So keep your chin up, it'll get better.
