my thoughts about suicide.I want to make a decision who can help?

Question

what is your opinion of suicide, I want to have peace with myself. I am enegentic 50 years old attractive no children
but lonely. unloved. depressed. no friends, but love life. help

Answer 1

People say that suicide is cowardly, which I've found to be untrue. Would a coward tighten a rope around his neck and jump into a cold night's air? No, I don't think so.

Either way, suicide is not a good answer and I'm not supportive of such a decision. Talk to a psychologist for awhile and kick some ideas around. I've done it at two points in my life, and I was able to talk out a plan for my recovery. Try your absolute hardest to climb from the rut, shaping your life into a happy one. Dating is a lot like shopping for mates, which a depressing thought, but maybe worth a shot? There's a good chance you'll meet a nice guy in just the same situation.

Answer 2

Trust me suicide is not the answer. You said you are an energetic ,attractive, 50 year old person correct? Well those are three reasons right there why you should re think your options.I don't know about your religious beliefs but I say PRAY,PRAY and then PRAY some more.GOD does not give us more than we can handle nor does HE allow his children to suffer. Prayers are not answered overnight, but they are answered on time.What makes you love life?Whatever it is then continue to do it and things will get better. You have to look at all the positives that are going on with you and build upon that. What are your interests in life, is it books , tv , old movies, music? Find a group that does whatever it is that you are interested in. Write down a list of things that you want to do or accomplish in life and pick one thing to accomplish this month or however long it takes, then tackle the next thing. The thing is that you should get out there and experience life as much as you can.I know the world is messed up, but there are good days ahead.There are many groups out there that you can join where you can meet people. You say you don't have any children, why don't you volunteer to be a mentor to a child or volunteer at a boys and girls club. Get out there and find somebody or something to love. You didn't mention any health problems so I assume that you are otherwise healthy, so get the help that you need and get out there and enjoy life. There is no need to end it so soon.Have you considered relocating, maybe a change of scenery might do you good. I do recommend that you receive counseling as well so that you can get better help than what we can provide on Yahoo.

Answer 3

If U love life, then U have made peace with yourself , by answering your own question. If U were really fed-up , U wont be asking Yahoo answers. Maybe U R feeling low, all of us feel that way. If U live by yourself , then U don't have anyone to complain to, and the feeling takes some time to go away. I am suggesting that U see your doctor first thing, ask him for a referral to a psychiatrist, who may suggest an anti-depressant , that will help U take the edge away from those low feelings. Life is a mystery everyday, when U wake up, U never know what adventures U R going to have on that day. Suicide will end that adventure. No Fun!!

Answer 4

I am glad you asked this question. Talking with people is a positive sign and the right direction. I am so happy hearing you that you life. Yes, life is beautiful.

Once in a while every body feel depressed. Your symptoms is not unusual, specially at the age of 50. Psychologist call it a middle age crisis. Having said that, I don't think you need some one to make you happy. Life is as you make it. You told me you are attractive. You see, you have already the potential to be loved and to have friends. Just add a little spices like be assertive and aggressive to approach peoples. Rather than expecting peoples to come to you, sometimes go yourself and take the initiative to be a friend to others. If you are shy start with people you know and then approach and talk with others in your job place, church, club and in any social gathering. I am sure you will get a response when you smile let alone when you talk to them. I am sure, this will work. Remember, you are in charge of your life, your happiness. Don't expect any thing from any body.

Answer 5

Well, what is life? I am young, 25 stb 26 and live at home. I used to rebel and do whatever I thought was best, Now I have to accept others by taking their opinions and things into account. I too, contemplated suicide, for selftish reasons. I feel that you are satisfied at this moment and will continue to be, therefor I'll leave you alone now.
The key is compromise. Stay online, own a pet or two. That's all anyone is really doing. I have an older turtle. She's a female boxie I found in the road and brings me much happiness as she puts up with me and I with her. You can email me if you want to talk.

Answer 6

I found my perfect mate at the age of 48 and after 2 divorces. My first was high school young ''love'' , the second time I settled for less because I thought that there was no such thing as a soul mate. You have to get out there. Make a decision to meet people with the intention of finding new friends, male and female. Take dance class, an art class, cooking class, pottery or anything that you can think of where you can meet others.

Answer 7

Don--suicide is a cheap selfish way to solve anything. Sorry but I don't agree with any reasons I have ever heard. Yes, I see a lot of misery--34 years of it--4 nights a week--death and injury is a way of life for me. In an instant lives are changed or ended, tragically and often affects more that just the victims.... families and friends are also at a loss. We all are individuals--we are all in control of what goes on in our lives. Dwelling on negative thoughts always seems to invite negativity--or bad luck--or lousy lives. You are unique--you have talents and abilities unique to YOU---so take them and put them to good use. Surely a club or group can use and appreciate what you bring to them--and that puts you in contact with new people in a positive way.Volunteer at a hospital--there all sorts of things to help people that are sick or injured--even a magazine and a smile helps. Or fresh water and ice and a few words can help. Animal shelters---once a week or once a month, bring a bag of dry cat and dog food as a donation--the humans smile and welcome you with open arms--then visit the homeless animals waiting for loving contact---a touch and a few fun words are priceless. Go where people go--bookstores, coffee shops, malls, --you never know who you will see or talk to--but just being a people watcher is great fun. Depression is often food related--you may be allergic to food additives--sugar--high fructose--barley--malt---chemicals--mono sodium glutamate( MSG)--these are poison--along with a lot of other stuff--a month of a high protein low carb diet will purge your system and make you feel better--get away from cakes and pies and soda--white bread, junk food of all kinds, greasy stuff, ---hey you can either eat good or eat bad----but you will feel better if you eat a good healthy diet--eat salad and fruit--chicken turkey fish witha potato and FRESH vegetables---you will even look better. Buy some new clothes--redo the hair style---groom up real nice and get out and have fun. NO ALCOHOL or drugs--they are depressants and extremely fattening .
Come on Don, you know you can do better--get it into your brain that life is for the living--get out and do some living. Visit a museum, a park, take a day trip someplace---do it the way you want to do it. Smile and say hi to people as you walk around--be polite and show some courtesy--it is contagious--it can be a real head turner when you act differently than most of the people. Suicide is a terrible choice when you haven't a valid reason for it---and it is so final--man, stick around--pick yourself up and go someplace. Find something new as a hobby that involves people--it is fun to collaborate on projects with other people.Model railroad clubs--car clubs--collectors of anything--surely you have an interest that can be a friendship starter.somewhere. Write to me if you want--where are you from?? tell me about yourself--your work--were you in the military?? Do you have any art talent?? Write to me--I am available to you.

Answer 8

I have the same problem, as I just split a year ago from a long term relationship. I would never, however, think of hurting my family or friends by killing myself. You sound as if you need to join a singles club, or go to the golf course, check out the local sports bar, join a health club, etc... to make some friends to hang out with.

Life is not over at 50, and suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Believe me, I know your pain, but it will all work out.

I was going to contact you by email, but I see you have no email contact on your profile.

Good luck with everything. I hope it all works out for you.

Answer 9

Suicide is a permanient solution for a temporary problem. Why are you alone? There is no reason to be lonely, unloved or have no friends. You must seek friends. They don't just come to your door. Go to church meet people and help others.

There are so many people in this world who need your help. There are singles groups in almost every Christian fellowship. Join one. Get involved. You will be happy when you do. I am praying for you.....God bless!

Answer 10

Killing yourself is definetly NOT the answer. Whatever thoughts about suicide you have, you need to dismiss them right now. Here's some ideas:

1. Get some help. Go to someone that you can talk to, and tell them how you feel.

2. Go on some dating websites. Make yourself an account, and sometimes, people DO send you a request to meet up with them somewhere.

3. Go to more clubs. Be very outgoing!!! And, if you're bold enough, go up to someone and ask them to dance with you. I'm sure that many more peole would also like to help :D
