What is the best thing to do if you felt like you wanted to die?

Answer 1

I'm not sure how old you are. I recommend telling your parents right away, so they can help you get in touch with a doctor who can evaluate your situation. Many people have a slight chemical imbalance that can result in feelings of depression. There is nothing wrong with you, and this happens to a lot of people. There are people who can help you find the best way to work through it, whether it be with medication or therapy or both. So ask for help.

Answer 2

Find someone to talk to--even if you have to hire him. You need to find out why you are feeling this way. For some people medication is the answer because their depression is caused by a physical problem. For others it's a situation or problem that is making them feel bad enough to want to die. In any event, you need to find someone who can help you overcome this problem because any problem you have is either fixable or temporary. It's pointless and stupid to die for something that could be made better.

Answer 3

Change your life. If you can't stand the life you are living, change it, find another life to live. Or at least plan out a better future for yourself. This is a huge world and the possibilities are endless. It will take time and effort, but you could change your life to be more acceptable to you. If you are still bent upon dying, find a meaningful, and not schizo, way to do it. Enlist to serve in the Armed Forces, lie to their psychologist, and volunteer for hazardous duty. I believe in reincarnation, but I know death is not a way out of your troubles. You will just have to deal with the same, or similar, troubles in your next life until you have overcome them. The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to pimp-slap Life and make it your *****.

Answer 4

Hey "yr not my boss." You forgot that line in American Beauty. That old saying is true except for the day you die. The last day of the rest of your life.

Answer 5

REMEMBER THIS OLD SAYING," TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE" SO, YOU COULDNT DIE BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TO LIVE!

Answer 6

Attempt to find out "WHY" and attempt to correct the problems that lead you to the feeling.

Answer 7

Think about the reason. See whether you can solve it or not. if you think that you can't, find out why you can't. Ask yourself do you really do everyway to solve it.

Answer 8

Get a new life!

Answer 9

If you really have a death wish, I think you should go to counseling and have a good work up by an MD. Very often it is from a chemical imbalance in the brain. If you have a chem. imbalance in your pancreas you rush to the Dr and get put on insulin and no big deal but if it has something to do with your brain it feels like some kind of craziness to go for help. My first husband committed suicide when he was 22 and I was 21 and we had 2 small children. Big mistake for sure. He had many small inoperable brain tumors and I know he was in pain but he should have tried to hang on for the sake of his children at least long enough to see if a cure would be found. I'm going to tell you a story I don't tell many people but I think God is leading me to tell you this. When Jimmy had been dead for about 6 weeks, I woke up one night thinking I'd heard somethng in the house. I got up and met him in the hall by the kids room. I couldn't believe it was him and so he let me touch him and I looked for his birthmark and of course it was there. He had come to see us for one last time. I asked him a lot of questions about life after death and asked him if he was in heaven or hell. He told me that he was in hell but it was not like the pit of fire we learned about in Sunday school. He said it is a mental burning thinking about your mistakes that just goes on and on forever and that everyone's hell is different. He said his hell was listening to his children cry for him and knowing he did it. Even when he was there with us it was like he was a tortured soul and very sad. He turned his head like he heard someone speak and told me it was time and he had to go and would not be back to see us again. I kept begging him to stay because we loved him and needed him so much but then I stopped because of the look of grief on his face. I understood in that moment that we on earth could add to his hell. I've never talked bad about him to the kids as they grew up and was so angry when one of his sisters told them some bad things about him because I knew it was hurting him. I grew up knowing you don't talk bad about the dead and that is why. Our daughter who was the light of her Daddy's life has gone from man to man looking for her Dad and not found him yet. Our son has never said a good word about him and has an awful attitude about him leaving us. I feel so sure that if he would have let nature (God) take it's course, even if he would have died, things would have been different. I know every time my son says something it is still causing pain. So don't think killing yourself is the easy way out. There is life after death and it is not nice if you make decisions that belong to God. If you are thinking suicide, you are either thinking that you'll show everyone and make them sad or that they don't even care and you'll prove it. NOT Everyone does care now but you are shutting them out as a natural progression of your depression and the one who care the most are going to suffer in ways you won't want to see from the other side. The kids and I cried ourselves to sleep for many months and then I met and married a man I hardly even knew and he was not kind to my children. If Jim would have stayed alive a while longer, I wouldn't even have met that man. let alone marry him. Both have self medicated until fairly recently and both are now taking medication for depression and it goes on and on. The Bible says that the sins of the father are visited on the children to the fourth generation and I believe it is true. We now have grandchildren who are very sad about it because it has always made their mom sad. There are times in just about everyone's life as they walk through the valleys but there is also always a hill top experience right around the corner. When life has felt unbearable to me, I just tell myself, "this too shall pass" and it does. I've had so many wonderful times in my life that Jim should have been here to share with me and maybe would have been if he had held out for a cure. He didn't even allow us to tell him goodbye and how much we loved him and that we would never stop loving him. We have had to work out so much on our own. His brother idolized him and went through such a period of alcoholism that I know was the result of Jim's death. There is such a difference in how you grieve when you feel like the person was taken away instead of leaving you. So, please call a suicide hotline or someone who loves you and will help. If you can just start talking about it things get better. And if you are thinking about killing yourself over some woman, that's a big mistake. Men and women come and go out of our lives and are just a blip on our radar screens and as you look back over your life you will think what a waste it would have been to have checked out over them. Another thing the Bible says is to choose life, and choose to live it more abundantly. Happiness is really a choice and you may have to choose it over and over but eventually you will be surprised to find you really are happy again. I hope in sharing some of my life it may help you not to make an awful mistake that you will regret for eternity. Love and Blessings to you. I'll be praying for you.
