I want to die?


Question:
I feel terrible and I just want to die. I'm 24 years old and I hate everything about myself. I don't see any reason to continue living and everyone would be better off without me. I have no close friends to talk to about how I feel and I don't want to talk to my family about it.

Nothing has happened to make me feel like this, that's what I don't understand. But I just feel so bad all the time. I spend most of the day lying in my bed crying. I don't want to do anything anymore and I don't enjoy anything that I used to.

I don't know what to do anymore. I just want to go to sleep and never wake up. What can I do to drag myself out of this depression? I don't want to go on drugs but I don't know what to do.

Answers:
Hey sweetheart, you really need to go and see your doctor. I know it's scary, because I've been there myself, but you sound a lot like what I felt 18 months ago. It's a horrible place to be in and you feel really isolated and alone, but you don't have to be. I understand you not wanting to talk to your family about it, I didn't either, but please talk to SOMEONE about this. You can't go through this alone. Go and see your GP, make it sometime this week because it sounds like you're pretty low right now. I think the doctor will probably want to start you on medication - I didn't want to go on it either, but going on medication does NOT mean you are weak. It really helped me once they found the right medication. Please, don't keep suffering like this. Go and see your doctor, they deal with this all the time, and hopefully they can sort out some help for you. Take care and stay safe sweetheart.

I think you should see your doctor. You sound like you have a bad case of depression. See a therapist. Depression can be caused by an imbalance of hormones, and there are several medications that can help to regulate them. Taking the medication and going to therapy should help you.

Best of luck!


well,you really should talk to your family.you can ask them not to interrupt if you want.then maybe they can help you get a psyciatrist to help you.you can also try to find a hobby to help take your mind off suicide.


It really sounds like you are suffering from depression -- and that is so common and easy to fix. Do yourself a favor and visit a doctor. A doctor can prescribe meds that will help you. Lots and lots of people take them. You aren't weird or bad for feeling the way you do. Imagine how great things can be if you just get a little medical help.

Please seek help NOW! You will feel better, depression is real, and it can be dealt with .

Please go for help, now. And then invite laughter back into your life.


Do you have someone you can talk to? A dr, a friend, someone close to you? It sounds like you suffer from severe depression and there are methods that can help you, I know you say you don't want to be medicated, but I was on anti-depressents for awhile and they seemed to help. Are you close to your parents? I would talk to them if they don't already know and see if they have any suggestions that better suit you. I don't know you or anything about your life, but I hate hearing that you feel this way. My mom suffers from depression when she doesn't get any sun. Do you live in a sunny area or is it overcast and cloudy a lot? Believe it or not, getting a half hour of sun a day is very good for your mood. Please update if possible, I would love to hear about your progress. Please don't harm yourself, please seek some professional guidance. if you live in the u.k go see doc and ask for c.b.t cognitive behavior therapy honestly it really works. i have suffered with depression for17 years but had c.b.t and feel a whole lot better and noo tablets to take. you will see the world in a different light i promise!


You are clinically depressed. Go to a doctor, get an antidepressant, join a support group, you said in a previous question you are over weight. Go to a Weight Watchers meeting, at these meetings you will get a ton of support and people who are willing to be your friend and help you.

You don't want to die. I wish I knew where you were, I can always use another friend.

Please get help and get back to us. I am worried about you.


Tell your family about it, and if they won't listen, tell a doctor, tell anybody and everybody about it.Get help. there is no reason to end your life. and if it comes down to drugs, use the drugs. Hon, you need to see a doctor/psychiatrist as soon as possible! Whether you want to go on drugs or not, it might be necessary for at least a period of time. That does not mean you will have to take them the rest of your life! You have barely begun to live.you have so much ahead of you to experience yet. Even though you think "everyone would be better off without " you, you are so wrong! You will leave so much pain behind and your loved ones may never recover from it. Please, please see a doctor as soon as possible and, if you feel in danger of doing something, go to the ER.


I used to self harm also. I've got scars all over from it as a reminder. Go see a psychologist, therapist, or psychiatrist. Call a suicide hotline. Get help. You can call your local mental health center and tell them you're in crisis.

You really need help. I went through a similar period of time just recently. You should go to a counselor or something. If you don't want to (I refused to go to a counselor - those people scare me) then at least find people to talk to. I couldn't tell anyone I knew because then they would have an obligation to tell people and I would end up being dragged around to counselors and junk. I told my online friends, though, and they really helped me through the worst of it. If you ever want to talk to me - about anything - here's my email: cutiegal7534@yahoo.com. I hope this helps at least a little. Please talk to a professional as soon as possible. I believe these feelings have become increasingly common in more and more young people in recent times so don't be afraid to ask for help. There are agencies that can help you.


You need help! I don't know your financial situation, but most insurance companies pay for mental health and states and counties provide free mental health programs to those who need it. Depression is real and does't need a cause. You NEED to see a professional, not ask on sites like this. If you need help finding someone in your area, go to your local library and ask the librarian for help in locating someone. PLEASE don't neglect this.


Talk to a sympathetic relative or friend if you have one. If you cannot think of one dial 411 and get them to put you in touch with a suicide prevention clinic in your area. A good listener/counsellor can make good suggestions, and put your life on another happier track.
I know it is hard to get out of the house and also to talk to someone else when you are feeling low. I have been there and so have many other people. (Sir Winston Churchil called his low periods "The Black Dog, ) & he met him often.
Remember it has to start with that ne call.You wrote in so you opoen to a suggestion. Please do it and now. Even though you may not like yourself. I like you (& I'm sure some other prople do to). Please make that call, now. Do it for me.

Sound like you have the depression. Nothing needs to happen to make you feel bad. It can be as simple as an uncontrollable inbalance of the chemicals in your brain.

I've been wondering for some time whether people who intentionally hurt themselves do so in order to make those bad feelings make sense. After all, if you inflict the pain, now you can understand why you are feeling bad, and that may be giving you a sense of relief.

See a professional. There are effective treatments for this, but you need to want the help. You wouldn't have posted this message if you didn't want some help. If you can't afford the medicine, Social Security may be able to help pay for it in some cases, or the drug compaines themselves may help.

My heart goes out to you. I know those bad feelings you're having, but I don't really understand why any more than you. Best course of action is to find a professional. Your doctor can perscribe drugs, but they will take 4-6 weeks to help you. You place of work may also provide free counseling services.

In the mean time, try not to get stressed. Try to keep busy on simple tasks that take your mind off things. If you catch yourself sitting alone and thinking bad thoughts.stop immediately.

And breathe. Just breathe.


i to have been where you are now i had nobody i could talk to but i did have something that helped me i started going to a gym it helped me such alot i found i no longer felt the need to self harm and in time i made freinds please please do try and find what it is you need your life is worth living and i bet you are a very nice but lonely person if it would help you to talk to someone i would be only to pleased to help i went thru stuff like that for many years. thing is--just STOP IT. really, just start doing the opposite of everything you're doing now. you need a multivitamin to give you energy and help elevate your mood. also adopt a cat or dog so you can get love and companionship. stop hurting your body, i know the physical pain is a distraction from the mental pain, but stop. go outside in the sunshine, light is uplifting. force yourself to clean up and smile, then go to a movie or walk around the mall or go swimming or take a daytrip on the greyhound bus--anything to get outside and run into people, greet them with a smile and say nice day! or hot isnt it? anything, and someone will respond nicely and it will pick you up. go to church, visit several different ones and if you find one that's comfortable, truly you will find a group in the church that gets together with folks your age and they will help you feel better. call on the Lord Jesus Christ, he is willing and able to make your life worth living.


it seems that you need someone to listen to u . why do not you go to a psychiatrist . first she/he is gonna help you to know why you are feeling so ..& maybe give you a medecine that decreases the state of depression you have ..


you can stop and you won't be forced to take drugs if you go to talk to your doctor. If you live in the UK ring samaritans right now. 0845 790 90 90 Look at it this way..you will die eventually but despite the misery you fell right now you're alive for a purpose, you just can't see it in this haze of despair that like a fog will pass over. hold on just for tonight. just the next 24 hours. you can get through and find a way to stop self-harming. I've done it and still have my moments. I had to confess it to my BF last weekend and that was a tough one. you know he still loves me and wants me, so there is hope for you too. It's ok to feel like absolute poo. have a look at the jokes on youqa.com, some will make you laugh and then another hour will have gone by. I find going to the gym makes me feel better about myself and more respectful to my body. you can't drag yourself out of depression but you can survive it and hold on to yourself for a while longer until you can get help.
