You're not the only one who feels this way. Many people go through what you're going through and think suicide is the answer. But I know many who have made it out alive and happy.
Also, suicide isn't ever going to be painless. I mean you're taking away a life, it's going to hurt a lot. Unless you're elderly and you just pass in your sleep or something.
Anyways, my advice would be to seek professional help. There are people who specialize in helping people in your situation. It's their job to do that. They'll help you find a way to get through whatever you're going through and also learn how to deal with your problems in a better way. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

But there are other solutions. And you don't have to feel like this forever -- if you get help, you can start to like life again. Suicide will not fix your life -- it will just end the possibility of things ever getting better for you.
I also think you need someone to talk to. Confiding in a close friend or family member is one option (if you haven't already), but you can also call a suicide hotline. One is 1-800-273-8255.
Feel free to email me any time if you want someone to talk to. My email is athena4896@gmail.com. If you want, you can also inbox me about a more specific matter. I'm happy to help with any other questions you might have.
Here are a couple things to think about:
What exactly are you going through? Are your problems so awful that nothing else can be done to lessen them?
What will you be missing out on if you die? You will be missing out on being alive, for a start. You will never see your friends and family again. And you'll never watch your favorite TV show or eat your favorite food again. What things have you been wanting to do before you are gone?
I think you should find something to do that you enjoy. I recommend doing exercise because it really helps relieve stress. Meditation and yoga are the same way.
I really enjoy writing. Depending on who you are, that kind of thing might help you, too. But look around to see what interests you and makes you feel better.
Hold on to the hope that things will get better. They will. And remember that people do love you and don't want you to die.
Stay strong and don't give up. I believe in you. [ Athena4896's advice column | Ask Athena4896 A Question ]
