I have come to the point where I cant write, concentrate, derive pleasure from anything, have difficulty remembering things, have blurred vision, eyes seriously hurt, sometimes have severe headaches, most of the time dont know what I am talking especially with my elder brother. I have nt got father and mother I live my elder brother and his wife since 6 years. I am 26/M an MBA had a successful career but now since six months things have been deteriorating. I cant bear it any more. Plz tell me the easiest way to commit suicide which hurts less and is quick and doesnt make much of a mess. (link)

I don't know the disposition of this person's outcome, but for anyone else who is reading this with similar issues: GET HELP. First of all, it's hard to see that your life can be better when you are feeling so badly--that is the insidious nature of depression. It's been described as a black hole for a reason. I've been there, and can totally understand. I've been desolate too, and I can tell you now that my life NOW is perfect. Sure, there are things about myself I still want to fix--that's the cognitive burden of humanity, that we're always restless and want to change things. However, the universal burden of being human is also that the only thing guaranteed in life is change. I know--it's all very cliche, but it's true. If I'd killed myself when I thought about it, I would not now have three beautiful, happy, well-adjusted children, a great job, the most awesome best friend/spouse in the world who I adore and absolutely adores me, a gorgeous home and many friends and family who love me for who I am. I say this because there is NOTHING special about me. I simply chose NOT to kill myself when I most wanted to. And, things worked out.
As for the symptoms the poster described, I REALLY encourage anyone dealing with these types of problems to GO TO A DOCTOR! While what he described CAN be due to depression, it's also likely that there is a medical cause. Some things that can contribute include everything from carbon monoxide poisoning (the symptoms fit it to a "T", a brain tumor, a neurological condition, etc. All of these things can also contribute to and exacerbate depression. How sad to think that someone would choose to end their life for something that might be treated.
I wish the poster--and anyone who is feeling so low that suicide seems reasonable--well. PLEASE reach out to people. There is ALWAYS someone out there who will want to help you. You, like anyone else in this world, deserve an opportunity to live well and be happy. Depression is not uncommon, but suicide is NOT a viable solution. You deserve better.
