Here’s some advice, stop asking random people on the internet for advice and seek professional help. Also, if you jump off a bridge, you have 15-20 secs to think about what a huge mistake you’re making. You’re much better off just living out your miserable life like the rest of us.
I’ve thought about it. But I’m better than I used to be.
If you’re having suicidal thoughts, get a prescription for anti-depressants. Seriously. If you feel weird about taking them, just remember that you have the power to stop taking them anytime. But just try it. They really can help you make it through difficult patches. They’re better than they used to be, I promise.
Also, if you can afford it, go to some kind of therapy. It’s very helpful to speak out loud about the things that you are thinking and feeling. It doesn’t have to be a psychiatrist, just any kind of talk therapy. You can say things to a therapist and not feel guilty the way you feel when you burden a friend with your dark thoughts.
Please don’t kill yourself.
Don’t kill your self. Not for you, but for the people who love you. Also, since you won’t be killing your self, please take the time to learn a little puntuation.
Or a little punctuation…
OB,
There is lots of help available. You just have to ask for it.
Go see your doctor. Your depression could be related to a physical problem. At least rule it out.
Start reading up on the causes and treatment of depression. This article looks interesting. He recommends meds to get through really bad patches but the long term fix is to figure out what is causing your depression and work on solving that. http://www.happinessinthisworld.com/2009/0…
Above all, make a plan to improve your life. Write down the steps you will take. Try not to feel helpless.
Good luck!
OP. Did it occur to you that maybe, just maybe, posting your problems here isn’t appropriate since 99.99% of comments are not from a licensed therapist. Seek real help.
