Suicide: Why should I stick around if I'm not needed?
Question Posted Saturday February 28 2015, 1:42 pm
Sometimes it seems like I'm not needed. Why should I stick around if I'm not needed? Apparently I'm annoying, why should I speak if I'm annoying? I don't see a reason to go on, maybe I don't need a reason. Maybe I just just go, a lot of people think I should go and maybe I should listen to them. I mean like, if someone loves me, they wouldn't tell me anything to hurt me. They told me to go and I think I should listen to them.

Please get involved with a church and Christians your age. The world will always disappoint you because it belongs to satan. We begin to realize what a cold place it can be in our teen years and it is depressing to realize many of the new things we learn during that time.
One thing I learned recently was why God wants to have a relationship with each and every one of us so much. I had been let down in a subtle way by several people and realized how attached I'd become to them. I got over it but realized the only friend that will be faithful, that heals me, that helps me, that gives me good advice, is the Lord. He and the people that truly love you are the only ones that will always be there for you and those people can come few and far between. However, God is with you all the time, even at this very moment He is watching you. You can talk to Him any time. He is longing to know you better.
He created you because He wanted you to be here. He feels you're needed because He's your maker. He has a plan for your life that will allow you to use your unique talents and gifts to make the world a better place. We all need you or you wouldn't be here. You also don't know yourself enough to know what your gift is, but with God's help, you will discover that. You just have to nurture your relationship with God to find the right place for yourself in this world.
Please try to stop allowing other people to have such a sway for you. See as human beings, we are created with the deep desire to worship something. It's part of what many Christians call a God shaped hole. Part of that hole can also be loneliness, emotional fulfillment and things of that nature, (any problems that are persistent and will not go away).
However, without God, we will create idols for ourselves to worship, some people choose drugs and alcohol, others choose sports teams, some choose money etc. You've chosen the approval of others to be your idol, and since it's not God you're worshipping, your idol will always let you down.
Please contact a counselor immediately as well. There might a chemical imbalance as well. It might also really help to have someone to talk to that is a trained psychologist that completely understands what you may be feeling and how to talk you into a healthier thought process.

God Bless don't give up [ lavelllf's advice column | Ask lavelllf A Question ]

I hope it helps you as much as it did me. And if you ever feel like you need someone to talk to, there is an app called kindly. It's people all over the world who talk to you when you need someone and they will give you support. I really hope you listen to my advice. It truly will help you. Never give up on life. You may not know who it is, but there is someone who cares for you, even if right now you don't know it [ Lilyadvice's advice column | Ask Lilyadvice A Question ]

You say that it "seems" like you are not needed. Well, it can seem like a lot of things but that doesn't make them true. And you also say "sometimes" which indicates to me that at other times you either feel like you are needed or you at the very least don't feel like you aren't.
Be who you are, if people think you are annoying, then that's either their problem and not yours or it just means you can stand to work on inter-personal skills a bit. We can all use that from time to time.
Sometimes people who love us do make mistakes and say or do things that might hurt us. Or perhaps they say things as a means of constructive criticism. For example, if I was doing something in a way that could be handled better and a parent or sibling called me out on it, I would understand that it is out of love that they are doing so, to help me be the best I can at whatever it may be.
We all have a role to play in this life and as such I am 100% sure you are needed.

They key to the answer is contained in your question, where you write "Sometimes it seems like I'm not needed." You may not realize it right now but the way you're feeling will change. While I may not be able to understand exactly how you feel, I care about you and want to help.
Suicide is such an extreme act. It's final. There's no going back. My advice to you is when you want to give up, tell yourself you will hold off for just one more day, hour, minute or whatever you can manage. There's no deadline and no one is actually pushing you to act on these thoughts immediately. Wait. Wait and put some distance between your suicidal thoughts.
Many people who feel as badly as you are feeling now manage to survive these feelings. Take hope in this. You are going to live through these feelings, no matter how much self loathing, hopelessness, or isolation you are currently experiencing. Just give yourself the time needed and don't try to go it alone.
If you are unable to think of solutions other than suicide, it's not that other solutions don't exist but rather that you are currently unable to see them. The intense emotional pain that you're experiencing right now can distort your thinking so it becomes harder to see possible solutions to problems or to connect with those who can offer support. Please reach out to someone. Do it now. Call 1-800-273-TALK in the U.S. or visit IASP: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) to find a helpline in your country or at least, talk to someone you trust and let them know how bad things are.
Remember, that while it may seem as if these suicidal thoughts and feelings will never end, it's never a permanent condition. You WILL feel better again.
