What do you do when you feel as though you dont want to live anymore?

Answer 1

Jump into volunteer work. It'll change your life forever. It did mine, and I made some cool friends. :) Just go to a library, and look on the bulletin board.

Answer 2

If you only feel that way then let me tell you you are not the only person that has those kind of feelings. Every other person has a phase, a situation or just that feeling that they feel like they don't want to live anymore. Sometimes these feelings with some time go away by themselves other times talking with a person that you can trust can help you get through it. Believe me when I tell you that I have had this kind of feelings myself when things aren't going that well for me. What I do is I talk it out with people that care about me and I try to put effort in being optimistic Everything in life has a solution except death and the worst thing you can do is give up. Hang in there and seek help it is never to late unless you already gave up. Remember this the feeling of wanting to die is different than actually wanting to die if you have thoughts of actually being dead you should seek medical help see your doctor, asking this question is a way you seeking for help and I suggest you talk to people who care about you and go see your physician. Good Luck

Answer 3

This feeling is probably more common than you might think. I have learned from experience that life never stays the same. Some days are better than others. Some days seem endless and unbearable, but eventually the tide will change. I do lots of different things to try to feel better. Get myself a special treat or do something I enjoy. Ultimately, though, you will work out your own method. Everyone else is suffering, too, in their own way. Life's a struggle for everyone, everywhere. This feeling is one sign that you need to spend more time taking care of yourself for a while. Take a day off and be good to yourself. Good luck.

I wanted to e-mail you so I could be more detailed but I see on your profile you do not allow E-mails.

God can help despite what some people say.

I received only poor psychiatric help, so if you make that choice, be very very careful. So you don't end up committed not say you are suicidal, just say you are depressed. Therapists hear suicide and they run to lock you away and drug you. So call around if you have good insurance, before seeing anyone. Ask what their approach to treating depression is. If you are a teen or young adult, make sure you see someone who specializes in teen and young adults, not a regular adult therapist, as the needs of a teen, what helps and what doesn't is often different then what works for an older adult. Make sure you ask if they do more then just use drugs. So many now days just drug people and call that therapy. You want someone who can help you make life changes so you can literally overcome the depression, not just medicate it.

I can tell you if your depression isn't because of child abuse and the issues it can cause, then consider life coaching. I've seen life coaches do more to help people who had generalized depression then any therapist.

Now, having tried to die many, many times, allow me to share this with you. One, there is accountability and there most surely is an after life. I died a few times from suicide attempts and and basically without telling details, was sent back. You'll lose out eternally if you kill yourself. You are not psychotic, you know what you are considering doing so you will be held accountable. Only those who really didn't know what they were doing are not held accountable.

Try reading this book: Return from Tomorrow. It's a true story and the guy was dead for 20 minutes, in his book which is very short, about 98 pages, he tells what he learned about suicides. At least read it before you give up.

Realize suicide is forever and someone who is left behind is always hurt, ALWAYS.

It's not easy when you want to die, I know, I still fight the feelings of wanting to die.

Try to be true to yourself; worrry less about what society says you should be. Then do for others, and yes, turn to your Heavenly Father for help.

Try to keep active, help others and ask yourself what can I change in my life that may be contributing to how I'm feeling and if I change that behavior I may feel better.

Always give yourself time; you can't undo a suicide and with time you may not want to die.

Most young people who feel suicidal and work through it, ask for help if needed, a year later are glad they did not give in to the desire to die.

If you have siblings, realize that your suicide if you chose to do that, will make them 50% more likely to kill themselves as well. That's reality.

Take care and keep trying; look around you for things that are what you need. Believe that your Heavenly Father cares and wants you to be happy and have a good life.

Answer 5

Sit down in a quiet place, and relax. Close your eyes, and open yourself to the possibility that you are truly wise inside.

Then think about all the things you would like to know that you would never get a chance to find out; think about whom you may be angry at whom you might want to punish by not being here any more. Then think what other way you can deal with that.

Than ask, why should I live? and wait for the answer.

Answer 6

Find a reason to live. if you can't find a reason at least find a reason to let yourself live just a bit longer. When I was in your situation once I started a minature vegetable garden. I promised myself that i couldn't even think about killing myself until I had eaten a tomatoe and a cucumber from my garden. that would take about 2 to 3 months. I had 3 months to think if killing myself really was the answer. By the time I finally did I had gotten the strength to get the the help i needed

Answer 7

You think of how it would it be like with out u living anymore.

Answer 8

Agh, I ain't much on that bible garbage. You could get more "feel good" b.s. out of a Disney movie. You are alive so you might as well enjoy it while it last. Actually, I found happiness in atheism because it made me realise how amazing it is to be alive. All of a sudden I didn't have answers but a thousand questions and life became worth living.

Answer 9

I read this over and over. It gave me hope, and helped me feel loved, and gave me the will to live.

"Look at the birds of the air
They do no sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them.
Are YOU not much more valuable than they?" Matthew 6:26
from the Bible.

Answer 10

do something to zone out. NOT DRUGS! but listen to music or play video games or something special to you that takes you away to a different world kinda and just sit there like that and it'll take all the pain away. just forget about life for a little while and you won't want to end it. it works for me. i get like that alot. just know that u aren't going through it alone.
