I'm Contemplating Suicide?

Question

I've been on medication and have been going to therapy for quite a while none of it seems to work, so i'm going to ask what you people think i should do. I can't take it anymore

everything you guys confirms most of my suspicions, most people are souless and selfish. And please don't bring you're god up to me, he means very little to me. I may not have it bad like a lot of people, but i don't give a ****, i'm not them, so their problems means nothing to me. I've been to a mental health institution and all they do is dope you up. So **** it goodbye

I thank a lot of you for your responses, but, i don't have anything.

my parnts are dead,so i really don't believe i'll have anyone cry at my funeral

Answer 1

id cry at your funeral

Answer 2

I think that's the last thing you should do.

That's not accidental, I mean it.
You can always commit suicide LATER.
Now, what else haven't you tried?

There are lots of medications: it took me about ten years to work through the variations and combinations. Some of them even helped. I've been free from meds for six years now. It turned out they weren't the answer, for me.

There's a lot more than one sort of therapy.
I've had some useless, and some useful.
Most useful, because he finally (after 20+ years!) spotted the fundamental problem was a "Human Givens" counsellor.
Not necessarily right for you, but if you haven't tried...

There's standing in the middle of the street and screaming "I can't take it any more!"
There's running off to a Buddhist monastery, knocking on the door and saying "can you help, please?"
There's asking a friend, "what should I do?"

Volunteer to work where people have far worse problems that you...

The drastic, the sensible... whatever.
But one thing's for certain.
If you commit suicide you don't get to try anything else.
So try *everything* else first.

As Kipling had it in Chant-Pagan, of an old soldier at the end of this tether:
"An I think it will kill me or cure,
So I think I will go there an' see."

Answer 3

Being on medications and them not working can be really frustrating. I know I"ve been there, there are times when the only thing that can keep me here is my children and God forbid something happens to them I'm not sure that I could make it. But as bad as it has gotten and the times that I have wanted to end it seem so long ago now, I've had my medications changed and I've found a really good therapist, if you go to the hospital and they are just doping you you need to find another hospital. I know that it's hard to live with depression because I've lived with it for over 40 years and I've had some times when I really didn't think that I would be able to take it any more. But I got the help that I needed and life is better. It can be better if you really want it to and if you're willing to do the work, it's hard and it takes time but it can get better if you're willing to do the work.

Answer 4

I don't know what if anything I can say to help but I'm gonna try anyway. I don't know what is causing you to feel this way but I can sympathise. I have been very suicidal in the past, acted on it a few times when I was younger. All I can say is that I failed and I came to be glad that I did. I couldn't see a way out back then but in the end I found one. There are bad days but there are also good ones and I have things in my life now worth living for. So that's all I can really say to you, no matter how hard things are now please try to hang on in there because one day it will get better and when it does you will find something worth living for too. It is a fragile hope right now, I know that but it's worth holding onto none the less.

For right now, these things might not help but every thing you try takes time and the more time that passes without you taking your life the more likely you will find something that means you don't want to. Try calling someone, a helpline, friend or Dr if you can. Talking may not solve all our problems but it can help take the strain off. Do somethign distracting, watch a favourite film, read a good book. Go for a walk. If possible call your therapist. Write down how you feel. I hope things improve for you soon xxx

Answer 5

That`s the thing with humans, nobody`s problems matter to them except their own. There`s one fact that you have to get your head around - your mind can be your biggest enemy or your biggest friend. It all depends on how you look at the world. If you look with the intention of seeing all the bad stuff then all you`ll see is negatives -BUT - if you cultivate a positive outlook then you`ll see all the good in the World and , believe me,there IS a lot of good out there. What exactly is the matter with your life ?. Have you no home, not enough to eat,problems with your parents/wife/g/f. , do you feel unloved, un-needed,what ?. Your life is what YOU make it. Get back on your feet and LIVE it !. I know that you`ve probably heard this before but that doesn`t make it any the less untrue - concentrate on the GOOD things in your life, not the bad **** and your mindset on life WILL change. Remember, if life hands you Lemons, make Lemonade !. Good luck.

Answer 6

I can tell you from experience that there is no magic advice that is going to change your situation. I am not a big fan of the way mental health issues are handled by the medical community, but if the choice is killing yourself or commiting yourself to a hospital to buy yourself a bit of time and try to sort things out please seriously consider the option.
If anything it can buy you some time and take you out of your current environment for a period of time. Sometimes this can be beneficial. It isn't always beneficial for everyone, but like I say ... Its all about buying yourself some time. You owe it to yourself! If you're going to kill yourself why do it today right?
I'm very sorry you're going through this and I hope that you find some peace.

Answer 7

Before you go, do you have a mother, a brother, a sister, an aunt, a grandma or grandpa? I ask, because if you do have any of these, you will be maiking THEM miserable for the rest of their lives when you commit suicide. They will spend the rest of their lives asking themselves what they could have done to STOP you from doing this. They will feel guilty and have horrible pain in their hearts forever. Do you really want to hurt people this way? It isn't good to hurt people........you really don't want to hurt them.......do you? Why not give your therapist the news that you are contemplating suicide, before you do anything? isn't your therapist nice to you......isn't your therapist worthy of knowing how you are feeling? Remember this: This is the time of year that MOST people do commit suicide, who have ever thought about it. It is all the Christmas cheer that is hurting your brain, right now. Wait until the holidays are over, and see if you feel better. The holidays have a way of making people WANT to end their lives, who are depressed. Don't be another number in that line. Don't be weak, now, when you have been so strong, before. Be strong. Tell your therapist how you feel, and do take the meds you are supposed to take. I take mine for depresseion. I know it hurts........but, you are stronger than this. You can make it through the holidays. Take your meds and talk to your therapist. Be stronger than the list of people who take their lives during the holidays. make it through the holidays. We can do it together. Write me. I want to help you feel stronger.

Answer 8

You cannot get good answers without more details. You obviously have some deep issues that need to be dealt with. You surely have something to live for. Are you a former drug user or alcoholic? Discontinuing any addiction will leave the user depressed for some undetermined amount of time. You seem to be doing outpatient treatment, evidently its not working. Try an in-house treatment. The people are nice and you are more closely monitored to evaluate the success of the current medicine. You might need to change medicine. I suffer from depression but was not suicidal until I was prescribed Zoloft. You do sound young, do you not want to meet man/woman and get married? Suicide does seem like an easy way out, but it will devastate everyone close to you, and there are people out that for you even if you do not believe it to be true.

Answer 9

You are an important individual, so life is worth living. I say pray, pray and pray. Find a place of worship were you are comfortable. I also say change parts of your life that are stress...job, etc. Take long walks. Sometimes a slower pace of life can be so helpful. You may also want to see about getting second opinions, if one physician isn't as helpful as you would like them to be. But do not cause harm to yourself or anyone else. I'm sure you are loved and do not want to see anyone hurting. The Lord see you are a divine person, strong, and wonderful! You can conquer all things through Christ!

Answer 10

Contemplating Suicide is a statement! Then you ask what do WE think you should do. You got some very good answers to that part of you statement! God, pray, do it, whatever! What the heck are you asking us for, if what you're doing isn't working, try something else! Isn't that the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? Find a new Shrink, move, do whatever you have to do to stay alive! Life is already too short, why try to help the REAPER?

Answer 11

First of all... what is it you CAN'T take anymore?! There are all kinds of problems in life... being alone, lack of money, health problems, stress, but they are all trials of life. Most of us have, or have had them, but there is NOTHING worth taking you life!! There are times when we are depressed and we need attention, a friend to talk things over with. There have been times when i have thought of it...but just a thought. I think a lot of people have. But then i thought of all the things I would be missing out on... we ALL have things to be grateful for.. sometimes we just lose sight of that. I know that it may seem that things will never get better, but they will! But how will you ever know unless you stick around to find out! Please hang in there! Find strength within yourself!
