I don't know what to do anymore... I don't know how to get help and avoid suicide
I'm 23 years old and I no longer see any point in continuing to be alive. I do not have any friends and my family is the type that just ignores any/all problems (What? Something wrong? NEVER!). I do not have any way to see a doctor to help me. I have tried for many years now to "fix" myself and try to find happiness...it is just not working. I am afraid of pretty much everything. I have trouble convincing myself to leave the house. I have never felt like I belonged anywhere. Part of me keeps saying...just go ahead and do it..kill yourself but another really small part is just begging for something...just one little bit of hope. That's the part that has kept me alive for so long...I've been stuck in this same place since I was 14ish. What do I do? What can I do?

You say that you cant get to a doctor. If you have problems leaving your home can you call a suicide help line in your area and they will better be able to give you assistance.
Please do this.
You do not have to feel like this and there is help out there.

if theres "no way" you can see a doctor and your parents "don't care" then i'm sorry, but theres nothing you can do. either get over it like the rest of us do or pull the trigger. i'm not trying to be mean, but seriously, what do you expect me to say? you ask a question like this and rule out most answers in the question: don't say see a doctor because i can't see one. don't say to talk to my parents cuz they don't notice me. the only way i see it, you have 3 choices:
have a kid. it could change your life for the better.
get over it. theres a reason its called the "cowards way out"
just quit whining and do it.
good luck. i hope you find the happiness you're looking for. whether it be death or strength.

Start by joining some online forums. I don't know what the nature of your problem is, but you could try places like the social anxiety forum [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) or possibly an agoraphobia forum [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). These places are very welcoming and supportive, and it will help you a lot to speak to those in a similar position. Not only that but you will learn from others how to deal with your problems, and you may be able to start a journal where you can invite comments and advice anonymously.
As soon as you work through enough of your issues in order to be able to leave the house, you will be able to get a job or start a hobby and thus make friends and find your place in the world. It's understandable that you feel this way when you are trapped in at home!

First there is help out there for you for which you do not need insurance to get it. All you need to do is ask for it.
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline has a 24/7 chat line staffed by volunteers who will talk with you through any crisis you may be having and then help you find help in your home town. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number is, 1-800-273-TALK (8255) give them a call and ask for help.
You can always pick up the phone and dial 911 or the emergency number where you live and help will be sent to you. Here in the USA if you call 911 help will be sent to you and you will be taken to the nearest hospital Emergency Room for treatment.
No one is going to ask you for insurance information before they treat you. There are programs in place to cover the cost of treating you. What is important is to have you seen by a Doctor and treated for your depression so that you so not hurt yourself.
So pick up the phone and call the National Suicide Hotline or 911. Don't have a phone then go to the nearest hospital emergency room or fire station and ask for help.
