Having suffered from depression myself I can say I have walked in your shoes and feel or felt your pain. Killing yourslef is not the answer. I can attest to the fact that if you truley work with programs out their to help you then their is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Antidepresents alone are not always the answer. Antidepresents with talk therapy is usually what works the best. Saying that I will tell you thet you may not always cllick with the first therapist you talk with. I didn't. I went through three before I found a women I was comfortable with. Working with her I came to realize what was causing my depression and it was not what I thought it was. Once we found that out a whole bunch of other things came to light. Things I had buried deeply. How she saw these I will neve know but she did and I am forever gratefull to her. I am a different man then I was whrn I met her. I actually like who I am now & so will you like yourself if you allow yourself the opportunity to get better.

Social Anxiety and Depression are bith cureable problems. They are not something you family doctor is trained to help you with. First you need to want to get better. Second you need to find a Board Certified psychologist to perscibe you medications. Then he or she can refer you to a talk therapist he or she feels is best qualified to help you. Being comfortable with this person is important as you need to be able to share your deepest darkest secrets and fears with the therapist if you wish to get better.

If you do this and work with these two doctors; with the proper medication and working hard. You will get better. I know that because I have been there. Try my way as I know it works.

Call 911 now and ask for help. Tell them you are suicidal and help will be sent to you.

Don't settle for a meaningless life, get help for your depression (and make sure that they're really helping.) Jess pointed out some great things about life, and the way you live right now is not what I call a "life".
If you give it the chance, and work hard to combat your awful depression, one day you're going to be really happy again. I am talking from experience. I used to feel like you a few months ago, only I couldn't decide between overdosing and jumping off from a building. Today it makes me cry to think that I wanted to kill myself, because slowly but surely, my life is turning out awesome. You do not deserve to die! You deserve to have the most meaningful, incredible life possible. Do you really want to cut your life short, or do you want everything to work out for you?
Both overdosing and drowning are extremely painful deaths, and every single one of my friends who've overdosed have really regretted it. It's not you that wants to commit suicide, it's the wish of the animal that has taken you captive. Don't surrender! Dig deep in your heart, and tell yourself that there's hope. There are lots of people out there who really care about you, including me.
You can visit my website www.survivethesuicideurge.org for more great tips on how to survive the urge, or call 1800 SUICIDE (784 2477) or 1800 273 TALK (8255), and let us help you. You do not deserve to live with this pain, and it's impossible to deal with it alone.
With the RIGHT help, it is possible to survive this and be happy again.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. Feel free to e-mail me at alexisgirlie@gmail.com if you have any further questions.

No. That does not sound like a good idea at all. You know why? Because killing yourself is NOT a good idea. Nor is it a solution to your problems.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Take it from someone who knows. I have suffered with mental health issues. I have had suicidal thoughts,but I have battled through it and overcame my demons. And I am so much stronger as a result.

You say you have no point to your life,but you just mentioned two very important points. A good job and a good family. Most people aren't fortunate to have those things in life. Most people struggle alone to make ends meat without any type of support system.

You have a loving family who care about you a great deal! Think about how devastated you would leave them should you choose to end your life. By committing suicide you are going to be affecting the lives of everyone around you.

Please don't give up. Life can be cruel,hard and challenging sometimes I know. It's brutal but don't let your demons get the upper hand. Think of the good things life has to offer.
Moving higher up the ladder at your career,travelling the world,meeting knew people,romance,spontaneity,excitement,laughter,wonder.It's endless. Stop associating with the negative.

Don't bottle up your feelings. If you are feeling depressed lonely and suicidal TALK IT OUT! trust me it really does help. A problem shared is a problem halved as they say.

A friend of mine recently committed suicide. He hung himself,but mid way through (which often happens) he had second thoughts. He tried to stop it by putting his hand through the rope (this was how he was found) but unfortunately he failed.

I have lost so many people to suicide including family. It's devastating. Please seek further help. Have you gone to a psychiatrist? Counsellor? it can transform your life.

I wish you the best of luck in life and I beg you not to end it. Life is precious. We only get one shot,make the most of it.

I am always here if you need someone to talk to. My inbox is always open. Much <3
