I'm thinking about suicide, what should i do?

I met the one I wanted when I was 17, she was 15. We dated for 3 years. It didn't work out and I had to leave her... long story but lets just say she got pregnant by someone else and I just couldn't take her back.... even after 3 years of being apart from her we were still in love. Haven't spoken to her since 98.

Well that in 1995 when i left i was 20. I have only had 1 girlfriend since then and that was 7 years ago, that lasted about 1 year. that didn't work out because I still wanted to be with the first one.

I have only had 2 real girlfriends in my life. I have had a few dates and a couple that lasted a little while but only 2 serious relationships. I didn't want anybody but her, so i never went out with anyone since 1995 except 1 girl.

Is it possible to stay single forever? Lately i was thinking about killing myself because it has just been too hard thinking about the same person since 1992 and not being with anyone. I've had to turn down ia lot of people because of this.

What should i do? I don't want to kill myself, but i just may have to if i can't figure this out.

Met her in 1992, i was 17

left her in 1995, i was 20

stayed single until 2001, i was 26

left that girl in 2002, i was 27

been single ever since... i'm 34

That's ridiculous right? I should just kill myself.

Update:

well if most people go through 20-30 people cassidy... then i'd rather commit suicide than be a whore. i wanted 1 person, not 20-30.

    mann /:

    i know i dont know you, but please dont.

    ive been in your place before..... well the killin yourself part.

    I felt like no one cared but trust me, more ppl then you know do.

    JUST ONE THING NEVER DO IS ASK GOD TO HELP YOU ON THAT ONE... i know, stupid rite? but i mean if your really feeling it, who cares??

    but i tried that, one nite i really wished to go, so what i did was go in a closent and pray to god that he would just take me away. he wouldnt answer me, so i forced myself to hang myself, i had it all setup to, but i looked back and thought of all the people that i would be leaving and i wasnt strong enough.... i prayed again to god to take me on accident... he answered me, but not like that, it was amazing, instead he sent me to the hospital, yess literally that SAME nite i went to the hospital bc of chest pains. i couldnt breath rite and my heart would pump soooo fast then like 10 mins later, so slow i could feel it in my stomach, pounding. my chest was locking down and i literally thought i was having a heart attack, plus the crying wasnt doing anything for me. I was in the hospital for 3 days and all bc that nite.

    So i changed, what i did was think it out, and said okay i need to stop all this, nothing is this bad to go for. and i remembered all the ppl i was gunna leave and grew strong. i woke up every morning with a new attitude. every morning i woke up and was like, everythings gunna go good, its gunna be a good day and nothing is gunna bring me down.

    try stuff like that. I didnt worry after that, but since then, ya i have been depressed but never thought about suicide again, i just went in my room and put my face in a pillow and cried it out. it rlly helped.

    i hope this works and everything will get better for you [:

    no.

    so you've had some bad luck in the love department,

    that doesn't mean you have to kill yourself.

    there are people being tortured, people living on the streets, or in shacks or in poverty, people going hungry, people fighting wars and people having no choice but to die as you read this. i don't mean to put a downer on it more than there already has been but you need to put your life in perspective to those so much less fortunate than yourself.

    you're 34, still young - the world is still yours if you let it be.

    throw yourself out there, take a chance and never look back.

    forget the past because tomorrow is a new day.

    I thought that way of my sons father when he left me pregnant. Our relationship (in my eyes) was good, I was still very in love with him after a few years together and its like I tell him we're having a baby and he just leaves two weeks later, moves out of state and didnt call for weeks. Left me with no word, no warning, no reasons, I went crazy. When he did call he blocked his number and treated me not like his girlfriend who he took out on dates and talked with, laughed with all the time and helped each other through so much, he talked to me like he was doing me a favor calling. Well, I stayed in that delusion that he did want to come back, for another 2 years so it was shorter than you but I KNOW what you mean, very deeply.

    What helped me was dating, though the first few guys didnt match anything to what I had experienced with my ex, but you cant give up, you cant keep dwelling on what was good and expecting anyone to compare. Each person is their own, and once I allowed myself to respect others for the gifts and personality that only THEY can offer, it eased up what I was missing with my first love and showed me I can never have that back but I can have something else, something better in a different way.

    Dont give up. Try counseling, artistic expression (if thats your thing), reading up on it, talking about it and meeting others who know what that depression is like. Hope you get through this, and do not kill yourself, life is too precious.

    So what? Maybe you don't have it in you to stay with someone, maybe you met all the wrong people. Maybe you're a person who's meant to be alone, or to play the field. Don't worry. If someone who you love and who loves you comes along, great. If they don't enjoy what you have instead of brooding over what you haven't.

    I personally have never had a serious relationship beyond friendship, and that's all I want. Maybe that's personal taste, but it's certainly not worth killing yourself over.

    Dont do it. You have so much more to live for - believe me. My heart goes out to you. But remember love doesnt work out for a lot of people. Its just God's plan to keep you single, or find love later on in life. Something postive can come out of anything. Instead of looking at it negatively, think of it as a new oppurtunity. You can live for you, please yourself! Focus on your dreams, devote your time to what you want to do to make yourself happy. Life isnt about regrets,and it takes a long time to accept and learn that; but the sooner you do, you will be much happier and feel much freeer.

    Some things you can do to maek yourself happier, is talk to freinds and family, go on a vacation with close friends or by yourself, do things you love, but mostly importantly, keep yourself busy. Distract yourself from whats bothering you by being productive.

    Life is such a precious thing. God took the time to make each and everyone one of us, and to give us each a life. He expects us to take care of it and take care of ourselves. I myself am going through an extremly hard time as well, due to an ongoing sickness, which leaves me feeling lonely, due to the fact that it prevents me from doing the things i would love to do. I really feel like im missing out on a lot of stuff. ^ Sorry for the little bit about me there, but the way i get through it is i remind myself that everything, everything happens for a reason. It brings new oppurtunities and can lead to a brighter future. Lean on friends and family for support. Remember, what doesnt kill you, only makes you stronger. My heart goes out for you, and remember you are worth a lot more than you think. Please, please, dont do it. We are all here for you.

    The single most pathetic thing that a human can do, is kill him or herself.

    Part of being a healthy-minded human is being able to survive and maintain yourself completely unassisted, and most people who go through a good 20-30 people by the time they are your age are generally dependent people. Your mind should be your own, and you should love yourself for what you are...and if there is an undeniable fault in yourself, then fix it rather than start decomposing.

    If your ever depressed...ask yourself-What am I trying to do, but not doing?

    Thats all you need.

    no not at all!

    don't give up yet. there is still hope for you

    i believe that everyone has that one person that is good for them

    whether it is their "soul mate" is beyond me..but that one person who is right.

    you will find her, don't give up yet

    if you are feeling suicidal feel free to email me, you can talk to me

    somewhere out there there is a girl waiting for a guy like you

    all you have to do is find her!

    when you do..it will all be worth it.

    i mean plenty of guys your age are single, and happy. so if they can do it..you can too!

    DON'T KILL YOURSELF PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    you are getting worked up over a girl! she isn't probably worth it. you can't just destroy your life because you had a cool girlfriend in 1992 for God's sake! i mean you can feel bad about it a while but killing yourself wont help anything it will just bring saddness (and maybe cause another person in your family to committ suicide as well) to your family friends and anyone who loves you. you have the rest of your life aahead of you and you should hav fun dating people and dont make your life about getting into a serious relationship. my uncle was single until he was 36! he had so much fun in his life having different dates with different girls. and also he was alot like you. he had a girl that he really liked and they broke up and he got pretty upset. but he picked himself up and dealt with it. he now is happily married and has just bought a house with her. that could happen to you as well but it never will if you kill yourself. please dont commit suicide. you cant die because you lost your girlfriend. pleaase reply the second you get this at momo_zamora@yahoo.com

    DONT DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
