Why don't I kill myself?

I am on Effexor and Depacote and Xanax and I see a therapist and still I feel depressed, panicky, anxiety-ridden, angry almost all the time. I'm pretty sure that I'm bi-polar. And I'm pretty sure there is no hell after death because I'm in it right now. And while it's been pretty well drummed into my head that one simply marches on-one doesn't kill him or herself; I can safely say that 99% of the time I am convinced that my family and I would be better off if I was dead. I offer nothing to my community. I don't believe that my family loves me; I feel they tolerate me because I am their son and sibling and uncle. Please somebody out there tell me what to do.

    If you dont offer anything to the community instead of thinking about suicide, DO SOMETHING about it, do voluntry work for a charity, help out in an old peoples home who are probably going to die soon and they cant help it. You can. Do small things for your family take them out for the day, cook them a nice meal, Tell your therapist how you feel, see if they can increase or change your medication. Go to the gym and exercise, learn something new even if its a new language, a musical instrument etc

    My cousin and uncle killed themselves and I have severe depression so I know what its like and I found that helping out in an old peoples home really helped me, talking to a guy who had cancer and supporting him through his final weeks and it really helped me to apprechiate life. some days I'll admit I want to curl in a ball and die but YOU have to pick yourself up and face the day no one will do it for you but they can help you.

    I used to self harm overdosed more times i can remember and have been in a physicatric ward for 16 months and you know what its hard but if you want to pull through you can I now am starting college in september, got a part time job and live in a house share, building relationships with a broken and messed up family and going out with friends.

    the only person stopping you is you, do something about it.

    hope this helps and good luck :)

    Meditation is a proven cure against depression. You can try some meditation as a natural way to overcome depression,anxiety,anger and also give you the mental strength to face the problems of day to day life. There are a lot of sources on the internet for good meditation techniques. Or you can go on a meditation retreat to experience the benefits to a greater extent. Having been a meditator for the past 3.5 years I can swear by the results of meditation.

    You first recover from your problems then you can think of offering something to the community. Also, doing some sort of service will actually bring some happiness into your life, this is another way you can help yourself. Choose one of these options but don't stay stuck in between as you have mentioned above.

    Your family loves you even though they may not fully understand what you are going through. If you think you have bipolar disorder, you need to be seen by someone who can diagnose you properly, provide the right form of thearpy and prescribe the correct medications. Your constant thoughts of wanting to die are signs that you need more help than you are currently receiving. You don't have to continue to feel his way. There is nothing wrong with getting a second or third opinion.

    Please call our Hotline for more support and guidance. We can also locate services in your local area through our database. You may also try calling the United Way's 211 for referrals and more support. We hope you continue to reach out and seek help.

    Take care and stay safe,

    It does help if you think less about yourself and more about others. You sound seriously self-centred. Get a perspective, maybe?

    Go and help people in Somalia, that is a life worth living.

    However, if you have a physical illness, then you have to get the right medical help.

    And by the way, every family just tolerates their family members because they are part of the family. that is what humans are all about.

    death is never the answer. life will get better. i used to be suicidal so i know how you feel but believe me when i say it does get better even if it doesnt feel like it will.

    please see a doc first, the can sometimes resolve this sort of thing themselves, but if they feel they are not seeing you get better after two months, they will refer you to an phsychiatrist, who will find out what they can, the suicide thing is that most peole do not wish to die but are trying to rid themeself ofthe oain they suffer, please go tosee your doc
