Cool thing about life is that you can always strike off in a new direction if things get too bad. Just try living differently. After all, you're going to die one day anyway, might as well try everything reasonable.

It could be a spiritual problem, a problem of circumstance, or a medical condition. If you have done things you know to be wrong, and you feel guilt, that can make you feel life is not worth living. If someone you love jilted you, that can also have that effect, or if someone you love deeply has died. If you have a medical problem, look for a natural answer, because most psychotropics can cause the very problems they are supposed to cure. I have learned that phosphatidyl choline and evening primrose oil can be helpful, and there are other things as well. Do some online research for depression. If you have done something that makes you feel guilty, then read the Psalms, and ask God for forgiveness. Get some solid Christian counseling (psychology is hucksterism). Make a friend, do a kind thing for someone, make a habit of this. Befriend someone who has no friends. Don't give up. Life IS worth living.
As a Christian, I have experienced depression, especially when life gets very tough. I just hang on to Jesus. There is an inner peace that cannot be touched. I always have that. I do have a medical condition, so I take evening primrose oil. I try to help others. This is gratifying. I am well aware of my failures, but I know that Jesus forgives me. So that's how I deal with it. If you are near the end of your rope, reach for Jesus. Don't just give up. Feel free to note me if you would like to talk about this some more.
I know several people who were suicidal, and I befriended them, and now they are happy. You can do the same.

The Bible offers a great deal of hope for the future and encouragement for life now. It will probably take some time to take the appropriate information in and digest it, so examine this web site before you do anything else. At the end, you might want to request a free home Bible study and there's a button to click for this. My prayers are with you.

I think everyone feels that way at times. The fact is that life is HARD, I think it is meant to be hard. We are meant to struggle and grow and learn to overcome. You just need to be strong and things will change. Sometimes I think God creates those times in a persons life in order knock them to their knees so they will find their faith and grow as a person.
In the morning start your day with prayer. Then set off to do a random act of kindness for someone in your life (or even a complete stranger)... take the focus off yourself for a little while. If you are considering suicide, obviously you need to seek help.
I sure hope you are feeling better soon.

We have been created for a specific purpose by our ALLAH (The Best Creator).But when we leave tthe real aim and reqirement which is in built in every human DNA then we are lost. Although even we have money and all leisures of the life even then we feel lost. Therefore my dear just get your copy of message from ALLAH to you and recite it. It will let you know the realities of life . This message is named as The Quran.

Life is full of suffering, most of which you do not deserve and did not have a hand in creating. In all honesty, the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that there are other people who care about my life. If I was born an orphan, I may have killed myself a long time ago.

if u born again then the bible says a just man falls BUT gets up again.u may fail as many times,be lost but as long as u make up in yo mind that u r more than a conquerer thru christ jesus..u wont feel that way.an example:peter and judas-peter cried (am sure he felt bad,guilty,self hate and all nasty feelings) for denying jesus, but he made up his mind to ask forgive get up frm self pity and continued with his life(and he failed again but he never quit)-stlill a great man.on the ohter hand judas failed committed suicide, (and it says was he was condemned)..which way u go?

If we do not feel like we have failed, we are deluding ourselves because none can live up to the teaching under grace. We can only thank God that Jesus was willing to come and pay for our sins so that we can follow His teachings, be in Him and be forgiven of the things we do that are not up to His teachings.
If you feel lost, study and pray. Study to know what is expected of you and pray for guidance as you study.

Find somebody other than a "pull yourself together" merchant to talk to. Maybe your doctor, or, if he himself falls into that category, somebody else in the caring professions. Maybe a priest, but not one who immediately sets about the business of trying to convert you. Look in the telephone directory and see if you can find a trained counsellor (and ask to see his/her qualifications).
But I think your doctor should be your first port of call. If you have clinical depression (and it sounds as if you might) glib answers aren't going to do you any good.

It's a temporary condition. A dark night of the soul. Hang in there, for this too shall pass. Been there many times. When you emerge out the other side, you will have new and better things in store. Ride it out. If I can, anyone can. You can do it.
