want to kill myself, I have a serious case of depression I feel like I have no purpose in life what do I do?

Question

help

Answer 1

This is a very, very serious statement. I hope you are not trying to joke around on this site. I will tell you that if you do feel this way then go to your nearest ER and they can get you help. Sometimes people feel very overwhelmed by life and need help. Please know that you are not alone and please do not commit suicide. If someone mentions suicide then they are likely to be serious. Please get help. God Bless you.

Answer 2

You do have a purpose in life.You just need to find it..If you like to play guitar,maybe it is to teach kids guitar lessons.Everybody in this world has a purpose.It is OK if you haven't found yours,but maybe it is right under your nose and you just need to really see it.
Don't do anything like kill yourself.Have you ever heard the saying SUICIDE IS A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR A TEMPORARY PROBLEM.. It is so true.Things bad happen all the time and you think that's the end,and as time moves on,you see that that really wasn't as bad as it felt then..
Go to your mom and just ask her to make an appointment,or you call and get one.There is so much in this world for you,don't rush it,enjoy you or life .Find what makes you happy.There is something,just except something and make it joyful.
There are more people than you understand,that love you,and please know that the pain family suffers,because you will no longer be there to share happy moments.Moments that are meant for you. Find them...
Tell someone,take some medicine , believe me it helps.You will feel so much better...I did when I was 15...Many years ago.Its hard being you today..Call a friend to come over and hang out..
Don't spend this time alone,when you are so sad. Watch a funny movie...Laughing is great. Just make the right decision,be the adult you are,finish growing up..You will be glad you did and your "son" will too..Too many people love you.

Answer 3

You need to call someone, 911, hot line, if you are serious about taking your life. It would be a very sad thing if you do because even the most tragic and painful experiences do ease with time. That doesn't help right now but it is very true. You have a purpose or you wouldn't be here in the first place. Please don't do anything to hurt yourself. You can call a church, a teacher, a co-worker, a friend, a family member, a neighbor, the police, fire department. Do that now and then formulate plans to seek a source of therapy and medication for your depression. Please do that now. I know for a fact that if you harm yourself so seriously that you die, there will be a huge empty place in our world because you are supposed to be in it. Take care, hurry.

Answer 4

PLEASE call a crisis line and talk. That's a start. If you won't do that, call a friend or family member you trust. Then you really need to get to your family doc to see what can be done. Likely a biochemical thing that meds CAN help. If not the first one, then the second or third or however many it takes. YOU aren't resopnsible for a defective biology, any more than anyone with a disease. There is hope for a better day even though you probably don't think so right now. I have tried several tims to kill myself, but now I really can't imagine being that low so there is a future if you allow it. Best of luck

Answer 5

Make your immediate purpose in life be the search for a purpose in life! Every human needs to know that they matter (are important) to someone.This need starts early in life and continues throughout it.

Sadness is one of the 6 basic emotions we are born with. It arises when we do not get this need filled, say by a derogatory remark by someone. In it's extreme it becomes depression and if it lasts and interferes with normal life it is called clinical depression. Obviously if you are suicidal it has become the latter.

What you can do is call a suicide prevention "Hot Line" for a start.They will tell you where help is to be found in your community. Make that your purpose until the suicidal thoughts cease.

Then after having chased the suicidal blues away set out to gain corroboration that your life really matters to someone other than a doctor or nurse. This will require giving of yourself in relations with others. The feedback from them will validate your existence and give you some goals to pursue in life.

"No man or woman is an island!" Life requires the give and take of love in relations with others. Peace!!

Answer 6

five things to think about.


1 You need to hear that people do get through this -- even people who feel as badly as you are feeling now. Statistically, there is a very good chance that you are going to live. I hope that this information gives you some sense of hope.

2 Give yourself some distance. Say to yourself, “I will wait 24 hours before I do anything.” Or a week. Remember that feelings and actions are two different things - just because you feel like killing yourself, doesn’t mean that you have to actually do it right this minute. Put some distance between your suicidal feelings and suicidal action. Even if it’s just 24 hours. You have already done it for 5 minutes, just by reading this page. You can do it for another 5 minutes by continuing to read this page. Keep going, and realize that while you still feel suicidal, you are not, at this moment, acting on it. That is very encouraging to me, and I hope it is to you.

3 People often turn to suicide because they are seeking relief from pain. Remember that relief is a feeling. And you have to be alive to feel it. You will not feel the relief you so desperately seek, if you are dead.

4 Some people will react badly to your suicidal feelings, either because they are frightened, or angry; they may actually increase your pain instead of helping you, despite their intentions, by saying or doing thoughtless things. You have to understand that their bad reactions are about their fears, not about you.

But there are people out there who can be with you in this horrible time, and will not judge you, or argue with you, or send you to a hospital, or try to talk you out of how badly you feel. They will simply care for you. Find one of them. Now. Use your 24 hours, or your week, and tell someone what’s going on with you. It is okay to ask for help. Try:

Send an anonymous e-mail to The Samaritans
Call 1-800-SUICIDE in the U.S.
Teenagers, call Covenant House NineLine, 1-800-999-9999
Look in the front of your phone book for a crisis line
Call a psychotherapist
Carefully choose a friend or a minister or rabbi, someone who is likely to listen
But don’t give yourself the additional burden of trying to deal with this alone. Just talking about how you got to where you are, releases an awful lot of the pressure, and it might be just the additional coping resource you need to regain your balance.

5 Suicidal feelings are, in and of themselves, traumatic. After they subside, you need to continue caring for yourself. Therapy is a really good idea. So are the various self-help groups available both in your community and on the Internet.


Well, it’s been a few minutes and you’re still with me. I’m really glad.
1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK

Answer 7

Don't listen to people who tell you that suicide is a "dumb" thing to do. Although I don't want you to commit suicide... I think it's the wrong approach to suggest you're stupid for thinking about it.

Suicide is what happens when people's internal (or sometimes even physical) pain overrides their coping mechanisms until they are left with no other choice.

The fact that you started here and are looking for help is good. I see that you still reach out, and you're using potential resources to help you cope. That's great.

So many other people feel this way at this very moment. Life is hard. But truthfully, for almost all of them, it gets better. Keep reaching out to people. Make phone calls. Hell, don't be afraid to call 9-1-1 to vent your desperation. Be honest about your pain.

Answer 8

Your first purpose is to get through this human struggle without hurting yourself. You can go to an urgent care Doctor and get an anti-depressant that will change your brain chemistry and pull you out of the pit you're in right now. Seek immediate help. Why suffer this nightmarish existence, when you can go to the doctor and get help?

Answer 9

Cody...there isn't a single soul on this planet who knows their purpose in the world until they find one. You just haven't found one yet that's all. I mean what are the purpose of babies???we'll know when the time comes. I felt the same way too for a while....it's just that you gotta be more patient. Time will take care of things, trust me. Cheer up buddy!!

Answer 10

You need to seek medical help immediately. You need to first of all TELL someone that you are feeling this way. Right now you are not yourself, things that are quite simple seem impossible. My best advice is this: Don't make a permanent decision to kill yourself based on a temporary problem. Depression goes away if you fight it, death is permanent. Talk to someone, a close friend, parent...ANYONE!

Answer 11

hi,
stop all over the counter medication. go to a health store and buy some St. John's Wart. follow the directions. take long walks when the weather is warm. five times a week for 30 minutes.
then find a church of your choice and have fellowship with people. any age. this takes discipline. good luck
