Do you ever think about suicide seriously?

Question

I've been thinking about it a lot lately. My life drags on we keep moving, I don't have any real friends. I'm 20 and never had a g/f and I still live with my parents. I dropped out of highschool because I got so depressed that I couldn't do any work or socialize. I'd usually just stare into space. I don't know what to do, everyone I've ever know is progressing in their life and I guess you could call it jealousy although I do wish them the best. I just don't know, I don't know what to do with my crappy excuse of a life anymore. The only time I'm happy is when I'm drunk or stoned and that's not the life I want. :(

Answer 1

yes, i have. it is no solution though. the reason i didn't is bcuz i realized i wasn't ready to give up. if this life is your one big try then give 100%. get out of your comfort zone and do someting amazing. i think with the help of a therapist you could get to know whats holding you back.

only u have the power to change things. depression is serious and im not going to throw out that bullsh*t 'snap out of it', cause i know it aint easy. but i do know that you cant get better self-medicating with booze and drugs. clinical drugs i think can be a tempory solution if you are that far out. but i know the cure is inside you. what ever it is in your life that you dream of doing do it. start small, and once you realize that you can do the small things like going back to school than do the next thing and the next till all this seems like a distant memory.

pls i beg you not to give up. if i had done what i had planned that day, i would have never found out that i am an amazing painter, or that i am smarter than i thought, or that a beautiful life awaited me. all i had to do was put the dobie out and get off the couch. do not wait one more day to live your life right.

I know how you feel. You should seek council and perhaps antidepressants (careful though, antidepressants can make you worse if you get the wrong one). For me it was a realization that I had been trying to kill myself for years with drugs and alcohol. But it wasn't me I wanted dead, it was feeling bad about myself that I wanted to kill.
I tell my kids the ant story. An ant in the forest has a hard life with little reward, at least compared to an ant who lives in a popular picnic area. His life is all work. What he doesn't know is how valuable he is. Sure he knows he is part of a colony, but he doesn't know is ecological importance. Ants keep the soil loose, making it easier for plant roots to push through among other things. Have faith that you are here for a reason! Ask yourself what you would do if you were filthy rich. This will help you find something that makes you happy. Do something for someone else. Make a list of what you want in a g/f, and think about what she will want in you. Take a chance. Change something!

Yes, I have been there... As recently as 1 month ago. I was really upset when I woke up the next day...
My reasons for it are my own, so I won't get into it but I don't think it is the right thing to do.

The rational side of me knows it is stupid, but there is another part of me that says, do it. I am fighting it even now.

One thing you need to do is look at what YOU have done to make your life better - quitting school, drinking, taking drugs - yes, all proven ways to improve the quality of life. I know that sounds mean, but come on!

You can do one of two things, continue to do destructive things to yourself OR decide your life isn't what you want it to be and take steps to fix it. I am trying to fix it, but still fight the urge to take the lazy way out.

Fixing your life isn't an easy thing to do, but it is a matter of fixing one thing at a time. Building something huge is a daunting task, but how hard is it to put one piece together. Don't look at the whole thing, find one thing at a time and improve it. Good luck.

I did in the past, I had it all planned out, no body or anything.

But I thought, how silly is it that the only animal that can actually "realize" that life has no meaning is the only one that would then kill itself b/c of that?

Dogs, monkeys, fleas, wildebeest, etc... all eat, sleep, and procreate. That's what life is. That's it. They don't care that there's nothing else. Then humans look around and think "Is THIS all there is?!?!" and kill themselves. I find it highly ironic.

Why not do something really radical like go live in the amazon? Or hitchike through Europe? Backpack through Mongolia. Help AIDS victims in Africa. If you're thinking of killing yourself anyway, what are you afraid of? Making a mistake and dying?

Answer 5

if that's not the life you want, then change it. ONLY you can. maybe the booze and drugs are what's making you feel so depressed and suicidal. if you're dependent on them to get through the day, then go to a psych and talk about possible meds that might bring you out of the depression and help you fight your addictions. I know it really helped me.

Try everything you can and fight like hell. This is the only life you get.

Answer 6

sure. a chum informed me i could get into heaven. nonetheless i'm no longer great non secular, i do no longer choose to spend eternity in a foul or unhappy place. God does not forgive suicides. i do no longer particularly have self belief that. yet i've got self belief there is an extremely sturdy probability. yet as quickly as I have been poor ill i could experience in yet in a different way, surprisingly if the ailment lasted for some years.

Answer 7

Get some help. You're only 20! I thought about it seriously about 6 years ago when my (ex) husband was beating the crap out of me, I was the bread-winner & I didn't see a way out. I'm still here. You have your whole life ahead of you. You can move, go to school, etc. Give it some serious thought. It could be worse. Mine was.

Answer 8

Yes, I attempted one and had many other times I about did.
I found wonderful medical people that helped me beyond words. I had to find safe friends to be around.

I feel my change has been do to: seeing my psychiatrist monthly, counselor weekly and my medication.

Will you go inpatient?
Will you to a counselor?
Will you takes your meds?

I know life can be hard. If you think about trying, please call someone!!!

Answer 9

I have been in such situations when I got these types of thoughts. But hopefully I am out of such situations....

Answer 10

I am too busy to think about it...
