I have recently over came my fear of being able to talk about the times I was raped I over came my fear by being in counseling. I was diagnosed with PTSD. Post Dramatic Stress Disorder. Something you see hear read about anything can trigger this. It is best to learn how to deal these situations. It can be done you just have to work at it. Taking your life shouldnt have to be an option dont let it be. [ Sweet_LiL_Angel's advice column | Ask Sweet_LiL_Angel A Question ]

Think of all the people that would hurt if you were gone. It's never worth it [ Tashanm08's advice column | Ask Tashanm08 A Question ]

If I could also suggest something I'd say do some random acts of kindness for other people, because you never know just by smilin to someone or helping them you could save them from going through what you are. I read sixbillionsecrets all the time and for a lot of the people depressed they just want someone to notice them. I hope you find a higher purpose in life that makes you happy! Good luck.

What you really need to do, is to see a medical professional. Someone like a councillor or a psychiatrist. The reason I say this is because you seem to have suffered much trauma, that must have inevitably made an impression in your psyche.
Suicide however, is not an option. It is a long term solution to short term problems. You say your brother killed himself. You seem to be very affected by that, and this is the deep pain that can be caused when one decides to kill one's self.
In short, suicide really is not the answer, as things will eventually get better. But be sure to see a medical professional as soon as possible (It may be awkward or nerving at first, but you must persevere) as it will help you greatly. Local government can put you in touch with a local professional, as can your doctor.
