depression help: All i ever think about anymore is suicide. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

All i ever think about anymore is suicide.

i came home from school the other day with nothing on my mind but dying. ive been cutting for 3 years and its not enough anymore. i feel empty i feel like before i even meet someone they’ll hate me. when i go to school the stress goes up considerably.. my stomach is starting to feel extremely painful my counselor said it might be stress, my hands shake (more) at school and when i think about stressful situations my throat closes up and sometimes i hyper ventilate, i have no friends at my school, i failed my grade, i get made fun of everywhere i go so i get paranoid easily, when i hear people laughing i think there laughing at me, i hear things sometimes when im trying to sleep and things will move about when they arent actually. i recently came of my mood stabilizer meds ive been on for 1 1/2 yrs when i didnt even have bipolar disorder, now i cant feel happy…and i know this sounds crazy but what do i do?

Looks like the helpbot gave a good advice.

Life is tough, unlike others I’m not going to sit here and say ” Ohhh poor you “, I want you to have strength, build a thicker skin and trust me, you’ll be fine.

I went through neglect, isolation, and abuse and I’m not anywhere near in committing suicide, not to mention others faced worse.

What doesn’t destroy you, only makes you stronger.

get more meds; the correct ones this time. also, try to realize that the world doesn’t revolve around you, therefore every laugh you hear isn’t directed at you, etc.

people who talk you down or make you feel like less of a person are truly sad and no one should claim to understand the full circumstances you are going through. you are making the right move by talking to people and it is important to get a good balance in medication and to fight on. please do not let yourself down.

pantheistpantheis - your story is just that YOUR story. you can’t tell a teenager that is contemplating suicide to “build thicker skin” and you don’t know if she’ll “be fine”. (ugh, your post really annoyed me)

My dear anonymous poster -

i would first encourage you to pray then talk to your parents or any type of elder that you can trust and that will listen to you. High school can be difficult for some teenagers and even more for one that is suffering from countless issues such as yours. You are dealing with real emotional feelings that are a cause for concern. It is very important that you seek professional help. I think you are couragious for making this post in seeking help and advise. I don’t know you but you are a living being and there are a few things that I want you to know.

1. God loves you, God knows all and he sees you and he is there and will help you… pray.

2. Your life is valuable and if you die your family will be devistated. You are loved.

3. You have purpose and one day in life when you grow up and look back if you’re strong enough to hold on… you will help someone else. I am sure of that.

4. You are not crazy and you are not alone. Millions of teenagers AND adults fail grades, suffer from depression, are cutters, are medicated for mental and biological disorders. None of these things have to do with the “thickness of your skin” it’s just that some are made up differently and some are stronger minded than others. Then the rest… need a little help.

5. You are not invisible and your feelings are real and valid and it WILL NOT be this way forever.

6. And most importantly (i should have listed this as #1) DO NOT COMMIT SUICIDE… DO NOT. Hold on, ask for help every where until you get some and until you feel better. You are important and loved.

I wish I was where you are I’d hug you and say “it will be okay, hold on… hold on”.

*hug*

I know that you will make it :)

alexislila is so right. Let me tell you something that is true, and you don’t get a lot of truth these days. No human wants to hurt themselves to the point of death. We have an enemy and their not seen but real. Every time you hear a voice saying “their laughing at you”, or your worthless, cut yourself” it’s not coming from you. When that happens you have to pray.
OK kid
Please, you don’t have the strength on your own, it will only be a matter of time before you’re broken down. Pray and get help. You don’t have to listen to those voices much longer.

Well as for you being an atheist, I have two things to say to that
1. Some of the best saints and apostles started out that way. (God will always prove his existence to those who will seek him first (not the other way round this is where people go wrong)).
2. It’s a very humanist or Marxist or new age type of view and the devil and his rather large crew will always have a field day with people who think this way. Because,that way of thinking says, “it’s all me, all my fault, there is no spiritual realm no supernatural, heavenly beings so it just leaves me, it’s all my doing”. The devils greatest strength is getting people to believe he is not real. The hole you talked about on your post, well that is God shaped and nothing else will fit there. (I bet you have tried to fill it with different things). Only God can fit there, it’s the way we are made so refuse it as much as you want but it will still be there.
Right, I have a bet for you. I bet I can prove you wrong and me right over this. What do you think? From my experience I have seen this many times before and seen it dealt with. All I want you to do is, when you next “think about” cutting yourself or the next time you “Think”, about being upset because someone is laughing or looking at you sideways, I want you to resist the urge to physically do anything. Do it “just in case” I am right or because you really want to prove me wrong (If you don’t do it then everything you say you believe in (like not believing in God) is fake. Is it fake? Do this. Then it may be right away or in a couple of days you will begin to feel a lot of pressure and a strange feeling or hear a slightly different voice. It will happen. Then when you feel or hear this voice trying to get you to just obey and not to think, you know there is a battle on for your life. Then I hope it will be strong enough for you to get serious help from People who know God. Don’t stop doing what the doctor’s say (that’s a big no no) but medicine won’t reach your soul whereas prayer will.

I have to go to bed its 4 am here in England so I will catch up tomorrow. I do care as you can see because of my replies so don’t let the voice say otherwise, (Or if you like, don’t think).
You have my attention, love and understanding and I want to help.
Take care and be strong, this is your life let’s take it back. Don’t let anything take it from you. Let’s get mad about it. COME ON!!

i would like to add to this conversation by saying that even though i fully support what alexis has said, as for as religion goes i too am an atheist. many of my family and friends believe in god and i also have friends who follow Buddhism and other religions but we all accept each other and our beliefs.

i think whats universally important isnt what you believe in but what values you have as a human being. we need to accept our differences and whether we choose to put our faith in god, friends or in ourselves, whats important is that we do have faith and hope, and we press on.

i’m a christian and I am crazy about God. my initial concern at this moment is saving a teens life not conversion into a specific religion because at the end of the day her life (i think it’s a girl) is much more important. and if she’s seriously concidering killing herself that’s terrifying. i can say that it has to do with her lack of a connection with God YES but she needs a rescue first. God is God and good enough all by Himself and He does all things well and in order. And if tonight (because it’s 1:46am where I am) was the moment that this teen needed to hear “you are valuable and loved” and then another time hear a word about Jesus then ok. But the order of operation is “deposit hope into her life” keep her here a little longer then tell her about Jesus. (am i off track? i’m very sleepy) either way a seed was deposited into her life God will do the rest I trust that.

but i must add… that the fact that she is missing the love of Christ is a factor of why she feels hopeless, wants to die, doesn’t have a sense of self worth etc. good thing is that she’s still here and it’s not too late to accept Jesus… he’s just that good.

There’s only one thing to do and that’s “take your life back”. The fact is that all the complaints you have can be alleviated or even overcome in some way even if it doesn’t seem so at first….and this is the great challenge of life, we must indeed face our own failings and fears to find the greatest reward. For example I used to be a very shy kid and I’ve pretty much overcome that. Seek to challenge and destroy your comfort zones and you’ll go a long way to finding the essence and joy in life…the journey of the hero…
