First off, a little while ago, I felt that way too. I felt like death was the only option. One day, I decided that I'd had enough, and I tried to kill myself.
It was the stupidest thing I had ever done.
First, I spent several hours in the emergency room, and I had to go to a mental hospital after that. At first, I just wanted to get the heck out of that place. But then I realized that it would actually help me. They started me on medication and helped me find better ways to cope with the pain. Now I am starting to see hope. I still have to go to the hospital every day. And it isn't exactly the funnest thing ever. But I know it will be worth it.
You can't kill yourself now. You don't even know what the future holds for you, and you have so much to live for, even if you don't realize that.
The hospital has been helping me a lot. I highly recommend that you go to one.
I think you should look at these. They helped me somewhat, and I think they will help you too:
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.
You can email me any time if you want someone to talk with. My email is athena4896@gmail.com.
Is there anything other than killing yourself that can be done to alleviate your problems? You can leave town and start fresh somewhere else. You can transfer schools. You can break up with your partner/get a divorce (depending on your age).
What will you be missing out on if you die? You will be missing out on being alive and feeling emotion, for a start. You will never see your friends and family again. Speaking of your friends and family, they will feel awful if you kill yourself. They will blame themselves, and if you write a suicide note, they will read it over and over again and wonder what they could have done differently.
If you feel like no one loves you, let me remind you that there is always someone who cares about you even if you don't know it.
I think you should find something to do that you enjoy or something that relieves stress. These are some of the things I do to relieve stress:
- Meditate, do deep breathing, and do yoga.
- Go running and get some exercise.
- Read a book.
- Write in a journal, or write short stories and poetry.
- Do some artwork.
- Play an instrument.
Those are a few ideas. Look around to see what kinds of things work for you.
Please stay strong and find a way to enjoy life again. Remember that many other people have gone through this exact same thing -- including me -- but they were able to get help and then keep living. One day, you'll look back at this and be glad that you got help and didn't throw your life away.
Don't give up. I believe in you. [ Athena4896's advice column | Ask Athena4896 A Question ]

Suicide solves nothing. The problems remains for others to deal with and for those who love you much hurt and wonder why you chose this path. You may not believe this but there are people who do love you. At the moment you are blinded by depression caused by whatever is overwhelming you.
We could offer some help if you had told us what is bothering you. Since you have not I would like you to call this number: 1-800-273-8255.
This is the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. No matter what problems you are dealing with, they want to help you find a reason to keep living. By calling 1-800-273-TALK (8255) you'll be connected to a skilled, trained counselor at a crisis center in your area, anytime 24/7.
If you are under 20 and have problems such as bullying and other problems young people face there is another organization you can call and talk to. They are the Kids helpline; 1-800-668-6868. You can also reach them online by following this link.
If you are actively suicidal, meaning you are going to hurt yourself then please pick up a phone and dial 911. Tell the call taker you are planning to hurt yourself. The call taker will stay on the line with you while sending help to you.

You need to see a therapist, and possibly a psychiatrist. They can help you feel better, and prolong your life. They can help you improve your life.
I've been down this rough road myself, and have seen others go down this road as well. Almost all of us got treatment, and the ones of us who did feel much better now. Some of the ones who didn't, ended up taking their lives, and all it accomplished was leaving behind grieving loved ones who would never completely recover.
Life is a precious thing, and should not be so quickly dismissed. There are people who love you, and would be hurt if they lost you. Please, seek immediate help. [ wittedpanda's advice column | Ask wittedpanda A Question ]
