Why do I feel suicidal?

Question

I see the same question being asked, but they're never related to me. Their problems are always relationships, current job or motivation.

I was raised by my mother and father who have always cared and loved me, I am currently in no relationship and do not intend on having one (but I love it that way), I have just moved to a new job and thoroughly enjoy it, I like to eat healthy and exercise when I can, I am surrounded by entertainment such as technology and books, I have a cat that I love and play with all the time, I have one brother that I get along very well and I have a lot of people that care about me...

...but I can't stand socialising, I can't sleep, I no longer want to live and I don't care for anyone besides my family.

The big problem is that I have no idea why I feel or have these problems. The only reason I'm alive is because I know how much I'll hurt my family. In fact, if they disowned me right now, I'd happily run in front of a speeding car. I have friends, but I can't say I care for them very much, because they have horrible personalities, but they're good to me.

Can someone please tell me why I hope that I won't wake up to see another day, or why I avoid to talk or express my emotions to anyone, or why it takes me about three to four hours to get to sleep since I left high school in 2009, or why I cannot care for the death of my relatives and for anyone's life and problems?

you dont have to have bad things happen to you, to feel suicidal. You sound to be if you are clinically depressed. The brain, like any other organ, can get out of wack and as a result your perceptions, thoughts, feelings etc may be different to other peoples.

You have nothing to lose by going to see a medic, who I suspect with give you medication to see if this will lift your mood and make life seem worth living again. Its not an instant fix and may take time, but what have you got to lose??

Just think about what being dead would be like for a second. A vast eternity of nothingness. Infinity. You cannot touch, smell or see. You have a very small time to do these things; to live. Even if you're not entirely satisfied with how things are going, even if things seem pointless, keep going. It may simply be a phase, you may, 20 years down the line, be thankful that you never did end your life. Surely staying in this world with colours and feelings is better than nothing? I really hope this helps, and if you ever do think abou suicide, there are hotlines and organisations that can help and know a hell of a lot more than me. :)
