Thinking about suicide?
I feel like committing suicide! Yes I know people will say dont be a wanker or get over it. I'm depressed but I do not want to take medication. My life has not turned out the way that I wanted it too and I just feel I have no need to be on this earth anymore. I dont know if I should do it...

I love how others respond to this "don't do it, don't do it" and when they are offered with solutions how to make this world a better place, they back up because they fear "i'm gonna lose my job, how will others look at me" and then they expect you to stay in this shithole society they are a part of and actively creating.
i personally did everything possible last time i had suicidal thoughts - went to live into another country, made amazing career, self-therapy with psychology - learned what mistakes have i done and what to do to never repeat them, learned how to create awesome relationships with people, had a crowd of girls chasing me, people came to me for advice how to create a wonderful life - believe it or not people worshipped me although i never wanted that.
And after all this again happened this traumatic event which brought me to suicidal thoughts before - i kept asking - god how is this possible? what have i done to deserve this?
i haven't suspected it for years it was slowly happening and so did not anyone suspect it from my surrounding,
I kept asking those questions - what now - cognitive behavioral approach - ive learned that, mediatation - ive learned that, love yourself - ive learned that, etc etc.
and the answer is - THIS TIME you haven't done anything wrong!
this society is not evolved for deep feelings - it is still in state of - some people give energy (glory to them) and another suck it instead of giving theirs.
This society actively attacks anyone who starts fearlessly questioning dogmas proposing other ways to approach things and does anything to ruin that person - ruin his life, relationships, environment he lives in,
because majority of this society and above all most powerful ones fear self-examination, people are scared to look within themselves. Why is that? This is a question everyone needs SINCERELY to ask themselves.
My personal answer is : because those people are scared to release this **** inside them - they're scared of themselves.
Anytime i see somebody writing - "dont kill yourself" without asking what happened in that persons life - it just shows that person's ignorance and lack of empathy.
They say "oh suicide is weak", and yet same people run scared away when being told how they're deceived by people running religions, governments. I saw many of such "heroes" who when facing undeniable facts about these things admitted how they are constantly cheated on and when
being told to do something about it, they were "oh, what will my neighbor think of me" or "be positive, life is good, ignore those things" - anything just to keep building and living in this world of lies, or other of those "heroes" telling "i'll do something" and then backstabbing you everywhere they can.
To anyone telling others "dont do it" without knowing the real reason why - either you are still fantasizing in how good world we live in instead of facing undeniable truths that our environment on Earth won't last long, divorces skyrocketed, how more and more massive deception is brainwashing people, people are taking more and more drugs etc etc.
It won't surprise me AT ALL if the reply to my post was "oh conspiracies again" or "he is just angry" - instead of facing these facts and then DO something about it.
We are able to change it, but we don't want it (except for very few, who are constant targets of manipulation).
So if anyone saw all good and bad sides of this world - so be it - if they do not want to continue living in this hole we made out of this beatiful and still keep doin it,
that is purely their own decision and others have no right telling them what to do, what is good and what is bad.

It's not easy, is it? I think a lot of people feel like you. I think that 99% of people could say that their life hasn't turned out they way they wanted. However the problem with suicide is that it's a long term solution to a short term problem.
You WILL feel better over time. Whatever is dragging you down will pass. In my opinion, one of the best ways to feel better is to give your life meaning by serving others. Go out of your way to help others. Be a great friend. Make goals, be physically active, learn a new talent or skill, take up a new hobby.
You probably feel despondent because you feel you're not in control of your life. So take control of what you can. We all have to get up and go to school or work, so don't sweat that stuff, just focus on the stuff you CAN change.
If doing these things don't help, and the feelings persist, you may have a chemical problem that is making you feel this way. In that case, seeing a professional really could help. Remember, this is all about taking control of your life, and not letting youself be manipulated by your feeling.
Good luck!

Taking your own life is not worth it. Say you slit your wrists/take pills and right at the last minute you decide you want to live and no one is there to help you?
You thought about the people around you? The people that love you? The mess that you leave behind? Thought about anyone that is worse off than you?
Sorry i'm not having a pop at you but there is always going to be something better and something worse in your life and you need to balance it somehow. Life is a valuable thing. Really may not feel like it at times but it is.
Give yourself time to get over whatever you need to and start looking forward. Don't take the meds if it is just depression you have as they don't help at all.

PLEASE STOP AND WAIT. Please Beejay if you are seriously considering taking your life you must talk to a professional first. Realise that there are treatments other than drugs. There are people out there with the knowledge and expertise to get you through this hard time in your life without just blowing you off with such phrases as "everything happens for a reason!". They WILL help you see there is more to your life than you may think. Don't just take the opinions of people on the net. Talk to your doctor. Don't make any rash decisions. Suicide is not fun. Suicide is extreme. No going back. Think of all the people that love you your mum, dad, siblings, friends, collueges, etc. and how devastated they would be if you died. My step-mum comitted suicide and my whole family suffers depression. Including me. But you can make it through your worst times. I am. You can too.

Everyone gets thoughts of suicide every now and then in their lives. Stop thinking about everything that saddens or angers you and do something to fix it. Do something that will make you feel better about yourself. Accomplish a goal or make the first step to accomplish it. Get up and go get what you want out of this life. If you don't have a car, suit up and take a bus. If you don't have any money, go donate blood or sell/pawn something and go fill out some job applications. If you feel worthless, go to a school and walk inside the admissions office and tell them you want to become a student. Don't let yourself hit rock bottom because once you're dead gone, the world keeps living.

Look, I've been to your situation right now..Just last year I was thinking of suicide too for the same reason you are saying right now but here I am and still alive...That is because of
true friends and people around me who help me understand everything and accept the reality (for some reasons)...Beleive me, I even hated God and was tired asking for his help and guidance but then I realized that life is BEUATIFUL if you know how to live it...God gave us trials to be more strong and have faith in Him...Remember that you're not the only one in this whole world that really depressed that much, there are more there..yours might be just a feeling of boring in life but hold on...If things weren't really for you like you wanted to be, simply means that that its not really for you.....I believed too that if God wants you to put something down that is because He wants you to pick up something greater...
GOD's WAY IS BEST.....
One day I asked God a bunch f beautiful flowers,
But, instead, He gave me a cactus with thorns...
Later, I asked Him to give me butterflies,
But, instead,He gave me worms..
I was disappointed and I wept........
But few days later, I have noticed that the cactus bloomed with beautiful flowers and the worms soon became butterflies....
God wants us to wait for the right time, for He knows all the best that He can give...
Cheer up Beejay!! :)

Let me tell you somthing, i've been battling clinical depression un medicated since i was 14, i refuse to take medication on my personal choice. I am 17 years old now and i contimplated scuicide and considered it many mnay times, i even had some ideas of what i was going to do, but you wanna know what i realizeD? Life can't and won't be that bad all the time. Sure you'll have your highs and lows we all do, but seriously on a nice day go outside and breath in and just think about what a gift it is to be living, you can do whatever you want and you have so much time to do it. And when i go out and have a VERY good time with someone i love and when im luahging and having a good time and its FOR REAL, I can't BELIEVE i would ever think about killing myself. I always think " damn, why would i kill myself and miss out on this?" I perosnally don't believe in medication ( im not a scientologist) but i believe we all have our dark moments when we don't wanna go on, and unfortunaly those of us who struggle with clinical depression or any kind of depression its especially as hard because we feel miserable ALL the time and theres nothing we can do about it. I'll admit i still feel miserable to this day and i always feel miserable. But theres one thing one of my very good friends told me " always wait for the sunshine after the rain" which basically means things can only get so bad until it starts getting better. We all have things we are going through that just makes us miserable, but for everything thats making us miserable theres going to be somthing else that makes us incredibly happy. Just think of the downs as a challenge, and the ups as a reward for getting through your hard times.So i say don't do it my friend, my promise is you WILL be happy, somthing is going to come your way and your going to be completely happy. If you kill yourself your your going to miss out on it. So please don't kill yourself, rise above it. You have a beautiful life you haven't lived out full yet abd its not your time to die so why kill yourself? Theres so much things you haven't discoverd yet that you must. Life in general is beautiful. Don;t get me wrong your always to have your ups and downs. So remember Just think of the downs as a challenge, and the ups as a reward for getting through your hard times. Your not alone in thinking about scuicide, but you'll be so glad you didn't kill yourself in time to come. You deserve to be on this planet and i'm speaking from the ehart no bullshit. So please don't do it, always wait for the sunshine after the rain.
Source(s): Oh and i completely hate when people ask me " why are you so depressed" WHY? Why? i wish i knew why then maybe i could fix it. You may or may not know why your depressed and i can understand if you don't, a lot of people don't. Theres not an answer for everything we do. Just as not everything is what it seems. I don't believe in therapist, im not saying dont see one if you think it will help do it, but unless that person can snapp there fingers and fix all my problems then i'll see one in a heart beat. I believe our answers to life and problems come within us. We need to figure it out for ourselves, and honestly, i don;t care if you understand me or not. I don't care if you understand my situation thats fine. If it was to be understandable then life would be so much easier on many different levels. So don't mind other peoples questions. Everyone has questions for everybody. You have to understand lifes not perfect. We all have problems, but tis not worth dieing for. - 1 decade ago
i dont think you seriously want to do it or else why would you waste time asking a question on here? if you really wanted to do it you just would- im saying this cus hopefully this means your not completely at rock bottom theres still time to think and reflect-make your life better yourself dont wallow, be proactive, get a hobby do something that takes your mind of yourself for a bit. only you can change your life around and make it what you want it to be-good luck with it and if you do decide to end it be careful how you do it, takin a load of pills doesnt guarantee death and can leave you with multiple organ failure, alive and useless. x

please don't do it.try to talk to a therapist or counselor.sometimes just talking to someone helps.you may not even need to take any medication.think about how your suicide would affect your family.think about spending an eternity in hell.most people lives don't turn out the way they wanted it to.take me for example;i have epilepsy,battled cancer,has speech and hearing problems and i also have a son that is disabled.that is not how i wanted my life to be.but i love living and i am thankful for each and every day.don't do it.please.

medication really helps put things in perspective, at least for me. try it. i didn't want to at first, but my mum convinced me & im much better because of it. you have nothing to lose. hang in there & do not kill yourself! i'm sure you're a person with some great qualities :D
