i think i could report a few answers for assisted suicide, because you are suicidal and all, and you need help and a hotline.....maybe something like The Mentors, like when El Douche swallowed your cat and pissed on the crowd\n\nI'M NOT CRAZY, INSTITUTION. YOUR THE ONE THATS CRAZY! INSTITUTION! YOUR DRIVING ME CRAZY!

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.

Yes indeed, I think suicide is a very selfish thing to do. People will be very angry at first, than they go into a depression and than finally recovery. Alot of times though denial and guilt comes first because you cant believe it has happened and than you feel guilty because you think you could have some how prevented it.

Medicines and therapy go hand-in-hand.  You have to really want to get better, Amber.  The therapists give you the tools so that you don't dwell on things until you want to die.  Then you have to put them into action yourself.  Then you said you tried to kill yourself once, then you said you never have thoughts of hurting yourself?  A LOT of people are addicted to misery.  It's true.  If you've felt this way for years, in a strange way it's comforting to just stay in the negative.  Only you can stop that.

I feel your pain.  I hate to sound like everybody else, but suicide does not solve anything.  I am not a therapist, I am simply a guy that knows exactly what you are going through.  I have been dealing with a severe case of depression for a coupple of months now.  I also have had some pretty dark thoughts about how things would be if I was no longer around.  I know you said you don't want to see a theripist.  That is exactly the same way I used to feel.  I at one time felt very alone in this  world.  I thought the entire world was hell-bent of making my life harder than everybody elses.  I would see happy people out and about and it made me want to throw up!  All I wanted was to just have one day where I did not feel any pain, physically or mentally.  I was not wanting to be the richest most popular person in the world, I just wanted to be happy... I did not think that was too much to want out of life.  One day I found myself sitting in my car looking for a good place to put an end to my suffering.  For some strange reason, I just drove home.  The next day I woke up and made an appointment with a theripist to try to get some help.  I have been seeing her for a few months now, and I am feeling pretty good.  I also was perscribed Zoloft.  I used to be against just "masking" symptoms with Meds, but I really do have to say the Zoloft really does seem to smooth out the bumps of everyday life.  \nBack to you... I know you feel all alone in your depression, just know it effects many more people than you would think.  It really does help to talk about what you are feeling with someone you feel comfortable with.  You say you are not afraid of death... I used to say the same thing, I used to think I had already lived "enough" life.  That is untill My best friend from college died a few weeks ago.  We were both the same age, It hit me like a ton of bricks... I have not lived a full life yet.  There are so many things I have yet to experience... I realized I was not ready to end things.  Sure I still get "down" from time to time, but the therapy has taught me to work through things, and not to always put emphisis on the negitive of every situation.  It may sound like a line of pure crap... But Positive Thinking really does work!  You are in controll of your life... try to look for the light at the end of every tunnel.... I assure you, things can get better, but you need to be willing to let those changes happen.  \nI hope I helped you out.  If you ever want to chat to somebody that has been in the same situation you are in, you can always e-mail me jam961@yahoo.com  Sometimes it is easier to open up to a sympathetic ear.  I wish you the best of luck!  I really hope you start to feel better.  Just remember, you are never alone, you have all of us here on Yahoo Answers to talk to.

I feel for you,  you sound like you are going through a terrible deppresion.   Im glad you are seeing a counsellor.  hope you continue too.   I think you need a prescription from your doctor though to help you through this.  It is so sad all the trama you have been through in such a short time.   I am not preaching but I will definetly say a prayer for you I think you might need help from every angle.   Do you have a spouse or family to talk to?\nCrying is normal but not continuous and sleeping that much is not good for you either.  You are going to have to try very hard to face this and hold yourself up and believe you can do it!\nI have had times like this and you need to get interested in something even if it is on the computer you might be able to reach out to someone else.   Please try to discourage the suicide thoughts I know it is hard but there are people who need you somewhere and that is very final.  I want nothing but the best for you so please keep in touch and let me know how you are making it through your days.       \nLife is Beautiful hon.   keep your head up and spirits higher.

I myself know six people who've committed suicide...all men....3 relatives, 2 high school friends and one friend from college. I think that everyone has a different method of coping and everyone's method isn't as good as others. And I also think everyone has limits to what they can handle and if people haven't learned how to cope with life's struggles, it's easy to see how they can succumb to suicide.\n\nI've forwarded the following link to friends and acquaintances many times who've said they've reached their limit. I tell them to read just page 5, if not the entire book.\n\nhttp://www.hopeline.com/docs/suicide.pdf#search='suicide%20the%20forever%20decision' \n\nIt's a PDF, so you'll need Acrobat Reader to view it.\n\nThere was a time more than a dozen years ago when I reached my limit and someone who could tell, saved me by asking me to read only page 5. I ended up reading the entire book. And I'm still here, so it must be good stuff.\n\nAnd luckily after surfing the Internet one day I found the book, now free on the Internet as a service to others.\n\n:)

You may have some depression.  Right now, just think about all of the things that are not making you want to commit suicide.  Look around the room, is your computer making you want to commit suicide, is the window making you want to commit suicide?  Doing this is a good way to refocus your attention to something more positive or at least neutral.\n\nAlso, think to yourself about positive statements that you can say to yourself in place of your suicidal thoughts.  Think about what you could say in your mind that would feel true to you.  Make a list and look at it when you're feeling suicidal.  If you feel like you need immediate help, call a suicide hotline.  Look up suicide hotline on google or in your phone book and you should find people who will give you immediate help.\n\nIn the longer term, I'd recommend that you seek treatment for your depression and/or suicidal thoughts.  A psychiatrist and a therapist can be very valuable.

Maybe you can check into the new information that suicide attempts are actually caused by illness.  There was a report in the science news that it is actually a chemical imbalance that causes a person to want to kill themselves. You could research that as opposed to people thinking it is a moral issue and that people are being selfish by killing themselves.  Speaking from experience..  I had a suicide attempt from being very depressed from unrelived chronic pain and depression caused from that.  It was not due to selfishness.  I just wanted out of the pain and could find no other way even tho I was taking medication and going to a psychologists.  You could also do a thesis on unrelieved chronic pain and suicide.  There is  a ton of info about this and it is a horrible thing to have.  Good luck hon

Before you kill yourself, give yourself a chance. The military has some kind of counseling. It's usually always darkest right before things get better. I get depressed to and think about killing myself, but I'm glad I havent done that. Good things are coming I promise, you just need to be patient. Now do me a huge favor and talk to a professional. It's free for you.\n\nDo you see how many people in here care about what happens to you?

Keith, you are presenting with the symptoms of Depression.  What you are going through is not your fault and there is help for you.  I believe medication would be beneficial, but I also understand that going to a doctor right now may be more than you are able to manage.  I urge you to call the suicide prevention hotline 1-800-273-TALK.  I am truly concerned for you.  You may also e-mail me through Yahoo Answers. Take care and let me know how you are doing.\n\nKeith I wrote my response  to you yesterday evening but I have heard nothing from you.  Are you ok?  Please give an update.
