I have not had a girl in a long time

Most of my friends turned on me or I lost contact with them

"You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight
Why am I trying to see, when there aint nothing in sight
Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die"

Answer 2

You are so young and have been through a lot! Quitting pot is excellent, but after having been on it so long anxiety is usual. Also smoking pot helps glide you through the day but now you have to get through the day on your own and this is quite a shock for the mind and body at first.This phase will pass but you need support. Are you being treated for your depression? Do they know you're also quitting weed?


Try to see it this way, a girl broke up with you and that's rotten but intelligently you know you WILL get over this.

You quit pot, it is going to be rough for a while but this will definitely pass.

You lost your job, probably just as well at the moment in some ways....it gives you a bit of time to get through all these issues.
You WILL get another job...when you feel ready.

Trouble is when we feel depressed we don't think intellectually we think emotionally because we are drowning in emotion and you can't see things clearly when you're this way.

I have had suicidal thoughts so I do know how crap you must be feeling. It is NOW that you need to go to the hospital and tell them you are feeling suicidal so that you can be kept safe.

You are 21, it does not feel like it now and you may not want it now, but in the future you will live and be happy and that is a fact.
But if you act on these powerful emotions now, then you will never know.

Please get help while you are going through this difficult time....you cannot do it alone.

Best wishes, stay strong and hold on.

I like the answers that people are sending in. No one ever told us how difficult life is. You have to roll with the punches, and sometimes just curl up in a fetal position and lie there for a few days til it passes. Tomorrow is usually better than today (unless to are living in one of those godforsaken places where the sun never shines in the winter). Is there anything you like to do that makes you feel good about yourself? (like music, art, etc) If you can pull yourself up just once and see that you are really this amazing person, that just might get you out of your doldrums.
I know, I have been there many times. And when I thought my heart was broken the first time....man, what did I know? The next time was worse. But, there is a saying from Gibrahn ..."The deeper your sorrow carves, the greater your capacity for joy". Life will get better. Hang in there...I was at that point one night, having been told that I had to find a place to live, and no job, and nothing and no money, and the next day I got a job, an aprtment and met my first lover! Not to say that all that will happen to you, but sometimes you really have to hit rock bottom in order to grow. And it never stops. "Just when you're thinking you finally got it made, bad news comes knocking at your garden gate" Joni Mitchell... Life never gets less complicated, but it can get easier to deal with. It is part of human nature that we just keep getting up and getting the crap kicked out of us and doing it all over again. And each time we learn)hopefully). Hang in there. You are too young to die.
And about the pot...I quit after 20 years a long time ago and it didn't affect me...I was more likely to get down on myself when I was stoned, which is one of the reasons I quit. It doesn't really help you...get some professional help. I know money may be a problem, but there must be some mental health clinics near you...but sometimes there is a really long wait, which is criminal. If you have to go to the hospital. They have to take you whether you can pay or not.

Firstly, it will pass, I can assure you. It's a pretty horrible feeling and takes a while even to realise that it is a result of not smoking, but it will pass in time. (A matter of weeks in fact). High level anxiety is the right word and it definitely results in shorter temper, inability to concentrate for any length of time without getting agitated and yeah, nervousness and worry (possibly paranoia to a degree). Very difficult to sleep too and it feels like you wanna sit bolt upright every few minutes because there's so much buzzing go on.... not very nice, I know. But it will pass, hang in there, it will start to feel better in as little as another week or two, honestly. If you want to see a doctor for any legal drugs you can have it wouldn't hurt I guess, but to be honest, it's probably best not to. Not sure how fit you are but extra exercise helps a lot, it will help you sleep too and ease those shakes. I started swimming and running at the time and that helped me. Glass of wine doesn't hurt either but try not to substitute one thing for another and rely on it. It’s hard but the most important thing to do is realise what it is that's causing it and remember that when you feel the worst. (I have no idea about the medical / biological side of withdrawal of this substance and it doesn’t matter at all) – you know that’s all that’s happening and it will soon get better. I know sometimes you feel like you want to just run from yourself or the physical and mental feelings you are having, or slam your head into a wall to stop the buzzing, but just know it will soon be over. Try and occupy your mind as I said with exercise, reading, whatever. It will feel a lot better soon. Take care, all the best !!

CHILL MAN!
If life never got bad
you wouldn't realise when it was good
Every cloud and all that. It's just an incovenience, not a problem.
There is probably some cute girl who's been wating for you to split up with that girl who was driving you mad
Sometimes things like this can turn out to be the best thing that ever happened. I've seen it a few times.

Answer 10

for one you shouldnt be wanting to kill yourself. you are a unique person and thats all that counts, i tried to do away with myself years ago and failed, let me just say i nearly saw my mother off when she got the phone call that id over dosed, and thinking now im pleased it hadnt worked cos i am gettin wed and have a son. just be patient cos you never know whats round the corner to give you that personal boost in life where you feel your worth summat. i dont no you but ill tell you that i think your worth something, and you are very brave to ask a question like that on an open site. x believe in yourself x
