yeah i do...\ninfact i was thinking about it last sunday. If you ever saw me you would never think i would be like this but truth is... my mums an alcholic and she hates me i havent seen her since i was 15.\nMy dad loves me but he prefers to be a part time dad...\ni have three sisters and two half brothers and sumtimes i feel so alone.\n\nWhat stopped is the fact i have fantasic boyfriend and when we have children we will be our family. And if i went i would upset my boyfriend, best friend AND upset my family. They would all blame each other... and to be honest, i dont know what gets me so depressed sometimes. The thing that keeps me going is the fact i have the love from the people i need and the thought of the future.\n\nAny time you want to talk email me x

If you don't have a job go and get one, its as good a way as any to meet new people.\nPeople get depressed for many reasons, there's no point in killing yourself, unless you know for sure what happens after death.\nYou could try something extreme, go away on your own, maybe travelling or aid work, this will force you to meet other people and held get a purpose in your life.\nIf you feel like killing yourself, then you have nothing to lose by trying apsolutely anything you've never had the courage to do. Whats the worse that could happen?\nAlternatively try religion, its seems to work for many people.

Sometimes when people complain about the day or the weather I just say 'You're alive aren't you?'. I know that life gets hard but for me just knowing that God loved me enough to allow me to be alive. Maybe begin to appreciate the 'little things'. Like being able to walk, talk, breathe, sing, see, run, eat, laugh, have a roof over your head if its a shack or a mansion. Sometimes you have to force yourself to look for things to appreciate about life. And the simplest is 'at least you're not dead'. I know its cliche but everything happends for a reason. Don't mistake though, you may think 'what she talking about, what has she been through'. Believe me I have been through things and I have just come to the understanding that we need to appreciate what we do have, we need to think positive that everything does really happen for a reason. It is hard to see peopel suffering. I just pray for them and if I can help I try to.

Funny, I just did that today. I have had a harsh couple of weeks...my uncle died, my kitten died of heart disease, my car died, and I just found out that my parents both have skin cancer, and that their dog (that i grew up with) has cancer and needs to be put down soon.\n\nAt this point, I've given up trying. I'm all cried out.

Why do you want to commit suicide?  To tell you the truth, I wanted to commit suicide before...that was years ago...but every time I'm depressed, I wait...because I know that life is just a series of tunnels.  You drive into a tunnel and the sum seems to be gone...the tunnel might be long or short...you never know...but one thing you can be sure is that the sun will eventually be back when you finally get out of the tunnel.  There is no tunnel with only one hole...even if there is you could still turn around and drive out.\nI hope you think it over...I don't think someone that wants to commit suicide have to see a doctor or something...but everyone needs to talk it out...and you really have to think it over hard!!  I almost commited suicide...but I'm glad I didn't ...cuz then I would miss out all those things that happened after I decided not to kill myself.\nLife IS hard...\nA person wearing a pretty pair of shoes....but if you were to try on her shoes...you might realize it doesn't feel as pretty as it looks like.\nI really hope you don't hurt yourself...because you might regret it....\nSuicide is a sign of giving up...NEVER give up...giving up is the same as losing...well...actually worse.  People that lose have the courage to fight til the end...people that just give up or run away have nothing.\nDon't give up ...fight back!\nEven today I'm not 100% happy...but I'm glad I keep on fighting it back.  Every time I fight back and win I feel so good.  Even if I lose when I fight back...I will try harder next time.  I know you are tired...me too...but please, please, please think it over, OK?

Good question.  I have had a hard life when I had a start to a very promising life.  I started out going to medical school.  Life has dealt lots of physical pain and mental pain to along with it.  It has at times been very trying because I have felt that I am in hell already and wanted to die.  But I am accepting the pain that I have in this life and will accept all the pain and torture to reunite myself with God.  The pain of this world is temporary like the blink of and eye.  I will not end what God has started and will thank Him for the pain and the pleasure equally.  They are equal.  They will no longer make me to want to end my life.  I start my life new every day and feel my spirit grow stronger than my aching body.  \n\nI don't need to answer anyones questions for why I have failed in their eyes.  I listen to my true self and I know that I am strong and have defeated myself to gain myself.

I force myself to consider the consequences of not doing what I'm spozed to. That's the only way to get my a$$ moving on ANYTHING! Sad to say, it seems to be a daily thing w/ me.

I know exactly what you are saying.Often times feeling like a rat on the wheel. Some days I run and run and at the end of he day I ask myself why I did this again?? I am a divorced mother of three daughters whose father for ten years has not supported them. So I am there everything. Knowing now exactly what i want in life but it doesnt exist. Noone today seperates there lives into compartments and feeds each aspect the sould needs. We all did it in college. We were organized and prioritized and took those much needed breaks but as adults we run and run for what?? When you die that money wont go with you. God will ask us what good did we do?? I want to enjoy and know that I lived life not let my life pass me by. Only yesterday it seems i was a child with no reponsibilties and obligations and today is different. It goes faster than you reliaze and as u get older its quicker. Live your life!!For those of us who can nolonger. Dont make the same mistakes I did.

Not too sure what you are asking....Don't do it if it doesn't feel right, or you are not ready, you always have a choice and can decide to do or not to do...

Giving up on life all together.

ive felt like this soo many times in life....for a long time i wallowed in it, wondering what to do. then i started finding things to occupy my mind, like i started exercising by myself, or you know reading and stuff. life sometimes is funny, like you go through things that are sooo miserable, but then later in life, its like wow, that really made me appreciate any piece of happiness i get....i am a better person, and more compassionate i think because i went through some rough times when i was younger.

I've only experienced total hopelessness like that once in my life.  The only way I got through it was due to the fact the breathing is an involuntary function and I didn't have the choice to stop.  It's probably not the answer you want to hear but there's nothing you can do but be patient...time will make everything bearable.

You have a specific goal in mind and have set your heart upon reaching it. You expect your loved ones to support you and encourage you. But it seems that subconsciously, you feel that your loved ones are not supportive or that they are not giving you the encouragement that you wish they'd given you. You are feeling very frustrated at having to make your own decisions and that no one is helping you or atleast lending you a hand.

Very poetic, but a true dismal failure is what you are aiming for in life...\n\nI believe that you need counceling so that you will not have a pessimistic view at life. \n\nFind your strenghts and work to build them up, and locate your weaknesses and work on them to help you understand why you have a desire to "fail"!!\n\nUntil you can set yourself 'free', you will always feel "dumped on" and moody.  But if you get the right woman, who will love you, then it will bolster your spirits up, and help you a lot.  \n\nI wish you well...\n\nJesse

The fact that you asked the questions shows that you have doubts about committing suicide and that means that deep down you know that there is something to live for. I've seriously comtemplated suicide before and I don't think anything in particular convinced me not to do it, I just held on to what little hope I did have and kept telling myself that things would change and get better. If you need to talk to someone directly, you can look in your local yellow pages for a suicide hotline. Or if you'd rather email someone you can send anonymous email to the Befrienders http://www.befrienders.org/support/email.php You will get a personal response and they can help you sort through some of your feelings. Please don't commit suicide. As dark as things may be for you now, they can and will get better, even if you can't see that right now. Try to think of some things that you like in life or hobbies that you have. Pray, meditate, exercise, read, just keep yourself occupied with things you enjoy so you don't focus so much on what's making you suicidal.

Hopelessness. I don't ever give up. It freaks me out when I meet people that have given up on life beause they don't think they can make things better.
