ive tried to kill myself 5 times. im 21, first time i was 14 and my mom just thought i hung out in my room for 36 hours. everytime i take my prescription meds. ive been on everything in the book and almost every combination. it combats my major depressive disorder, ocd, and aspergers. a mental health cocktail no one should have. this week many things with my dad, school, and money have triggered me. it comes from within but things set it off. ever since i can remember, specifically as a 6 year old girl laying in my bed thinking life isnt worth living. what is degree worth that im bending over backwards for? it wont mean a thing. none of our lives will children will die then their children. and my thought this week was that the planet earth would have been so much better off if only the human race died out thousands of years ago. i hope not to offend anyone in this, but i truly do not want to live.

There's nothing wrong with your discussion or your thoughts for that matter. There have been plenty of times in the past where I've simply just had enough and I did not want to go on living. I would do totally irrational things like searching for the best way to take my own life and there is plenty of information on the Internet, I don't know whether I should be mentioning that or not but I wasn't in the perfect frame of mind and I guess I wasn't thinking straight but when you are desperate you begin to act desperately. I have been on antidepressents myself in the past but I didn't like taking them as I had the fear of becoming dependent on them and that's a bad thing I guess. Anyway, I feel better now and I really wish you the best of luck as well. It's good of you to share your thinking and what you have been going through. Andrew

If you say that you do not want to live, you are offending our maker.. I don not know what you were going through and i don't know you personally. But i wanna tell you that life is beautiful and i feel sad for you because you do not see the beauty of life and it is such a waste if you will die without tasting the beauty of life and the sweetness to live here in mortality.. Each of us is unique and you are special in the eyes of our maker because He did not make junk. Your existence here has a purpose, our life has a plan and it began long before we were born.. I hope that you'll come to think about your purpose and be positive in life.. I know our loving Heavenly Father would always want to help you, if you let Him ...

I know what it's like to live with depression and I cannot stand it when people try to tell me to "snap out of it", plain and simple it does not work that way! I've never been to the point of actually trying to take my life and I'm so sorry that you've been in that situation five times. I know it's not easy but I would see a doctor everytime you get to this point, when I find myself feeling this low I end up sleeping the time away which overall I think is better when you're in that state of mind.

please dont think that way. me too sometimes i think the planet would be better without me. but then i think that im too young yet. i lived nothing and if im alive is for a reason. it means that there is something for me to do yet. and that gives me strength to keep being alive. think that your parents need you. soon something good will happen for you. you will find a bf that will love you so much. you will have kids and a good job. think positive^^

Don't say that God created us so we live life has many to offer.If they dont love you atleast you love yourself and continue loving and accepting people who will cares about you. I do feel the same way before but with the help of my friends i realize it is worth living for and now i come to realize that God has been so good.

I'm sorry for your health. I do understand, I've suffered from depression, anxiety, currently diagnosed with bipolar, suffer from headaches, migraines and seizures, I do get down in the dumps, too. My best advice is find something that you are passionate about, get involved in that, and the people who are also passionate about it. Use them as your therapy team. Many times, our families don't understand us and friends we want to keep it from otherwise we'd lose the friendship. But create your own creative/therapy team of people who are there for you and can bring you to laugh, love and live again. Let these people know when you feeling down and also your hobby will give you something you will want to do. I have been where you are before, I'm now 35 and couldn't imagine leaving so many people, just because they need me and I need them. I honestly suggest you find a religion of your choice that can help and minister to you. God bless you! I will be praying for you.

I would like to say that you are not alone..There are others out there who feel as despair as you do ...But the good news is there is always light at the end of the tunnel.. How long has it been since you listed the good things what God has given you? He created a beautiful world full of all you need: air, water, thousands of varieties of food and much more. In giving you your famuly, your ability to smell and your sense of humor, God has given you precious gifts.. The world is full of trials and tribulations it still promises a purpose, direction , blessings in life...

this life we have is not ours. It is from God. We are created uniquely with a purpose. God loves us all because we are created on his own likeness. We are special to Him. God owns everything and have control on everything except with free will. We were given freedom to decide which path to take. Wrong will never fix wrong. Pray and please choose to live. Surrender everything to God and let Him be your God and Savior. I assure you that you will experience His love and mercy for you. It is not only you who are having hardships and trials. And a lot of people out there have more bigger problems than you have so you still have a reason to be thankful. A lot of people are praying and hoping for their lives to be extended as well. Life is all about choices and you can choose to live and be happy. God bless you and may God empower you with His love at this very moment.
