Hopeless.
I have nothing to be depressed about… good job, good relationships, no major problems, nothing im upset about… but im depressed and want to die.
I have been in counseling for over a year and have tried EVERY antidepressant on the market. My dr has me on nothing right now because we’ve determined none work. I’ve heard every line in the book, hundreds of times. Like “suicide isnt the answer” and “its a permanent solution to a temporary problem”. I’ve heard them all and they apparently dont work because im planning now. Give me something else or i’ll have to go through with it.

Why do you feel so hopeless?
Life and laughter are the best medicines of all. Everyone goes through this. You’re not alone in what you feel.
there is no problem to solve…. thats the problem. Im unhappy and want to die. Theres no recent loss, or break up, or major stressors… Life is just not fun for me and I dont want to be here anymore.
but why are you unhappy?
and life just isn’t fun…you have to make it that way.
lol dude I got the same - I have almost all , but still I feel like a crap . the way how I deal whith it - take a walk or watch some parody movie . it helps to forget . take some sport activitys like skydiving , snowboard and skateboard - I we doing it in my free time and well yeah it helps ;)
yeah, I have everything…. none of it makes me happy. I guess I have the Brittany Spears syndrome or something…. I got everything but ready to give it all up. None of it is worth sticking around for.
well, I guess I have the opposite problem…I don’t have a lot going for me…not a good job or money or a lot of friends, no romance ever…but I just appreciate the simple things in life….sounds so cheesy, I know. But I go out of my way to make my life good. It’s up to me.
Hi jpren, we know you will not believe this but this place you are at right now in you is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth in disguise. Can you you allow this for yourself?
Jpren, I have clinical depression too and feel the same as you do.
The reason you shouldn’t kill yourself is that it would be selfish.
Your last act would cause extreme misery to everyone that cares about you.
You just have to muddle through until your life ends naturally, as tempting as it is to “close the book” yourself.
I have a nice life, fantastic husband, good job, beautiful home in a lovely part of the world. However, there has not been a day in the last twenty years I have not thought about ending it all and it all comes down to clinical depression.
Chamelion has it right, listen to him/her, making sense again!
lol I’m a “her” bonnie :P
Boy I love it when people call me selfish! First im so miserable that I want to take my life…. and then you call me names. True or not, that is just kicking someone when they’re down.
I’d give the shirt off my back any day of the week for someone else…. I try to stop my pain and then im selfish.

Well, what do you think?
I’ve already attempted to allow myself to get better…. I have no will left.
jpren: I didn’t call you selfish as an insult.
You asked for reasons not to kill yourself, and I gave you one.
Trust me, I know how you feel. And the reason I gave you to not do it is the reason I don’t do it.
J, Can you tell us what stage of life you are presently in so we can better help you.
guys, we all dont have to live a life as a burden. we can live in freedom if you want, not to do whatever we want, but to live within the right boundaries and find the joy in live simply and responsibly.
no matter what we pursue in life, we will find everything boring and empty. we might think that we have all, but in the top of that mountain, you’ll realize that it’s nothingness and emptiness. this world just doesn’t fit in with our big hearts, it’s to worthless.
let me tell you something and i hope you’re listening cuz i’m telling you the truth, that there’s a god-shaped hole in our hearts that only a person god-sized can fill. that’s just the way we were created to have a great loving relationship with god that we’ve spilled becoz of our sins. but jesus died for you so he can live in your hearts and give you the meaning of life. i’m not talking about being religious, i’m talking about relationship with god. pursue it and you’ll find, cuz i’ve been where you are now. just ask jesus to come to your heart and he’ll be your lord and savior and show you the real world… you are so loved and so precious that he died for you. dont commit suicide cuz it will have terrible consequences, if you wanna give your life away, give it to god. take care
Dear hopeless child,
Today is five years since my oldest son, Michael, died. A friend of mine who is a psychiatrist, told me that in every case he has been involved where the person survived a suicide, the person said that he or she thought the people he or she loved would be better off if he or she was dead. Oh, God! How could anyone believe that! My grief for my son is with me daily. A wound that does not heal. You may not realize how many lives you touch and how many are better for your kind word, strong handshake, friendship. Your life matters to more people than you can imagine. You have been given a gift, a talent to share. Don’t deny that one person who is counting on you being there. We are all here for eachother, child. You are the most significant person in someone’s life.
