suicide
you say it is selfish to commit suicide. you must not have had chronic pain or be so lonely nothing matters. it is people like you that are selfish. you pretend there are no issues and would like a loved one to live in pain or depression just because you do not want to lose them. life with depression is difficult or chronic pain is unbearable. there is no quality of life. you are the selfish one

You didn't exactly give me an age here, so I don't know if I can relate to it, but I'm an emo 13/F and I normally tend to be depressed, especially now. I always feel like crying, cutting, puking, and etc. I've also thought about committing suicide. I mean, I'm worthless, so who needs me? But then I look at my little sister and my dad. What would it do to them? My sister says she hates me, but she'd probably hurt... and my dad would be destroyed. I may not have friends at school or friends anywhere for that matter, but I have family. The selfish one in the matter is honestly everyone no matter how you put it. They won't understand your pain and depression, but you destroy the people that care about you severely when you take your life. Im not you, so therefore I can't make decisions for you, but don't do suicide. No matter how you look at it, everyone's selfish when it comes to suicide.

Actually I do suffer from Chronic pain and have suffered for the last ten years. The first two years were horrible as the different insurance companies fought to see who would be responsible for paying for the treatments that would hopefully bring me relief.
You see I was the only innocent in a three car auto accident that has left me in chronic pain and disabled because of it. Since I was driving a company vehicle the three auto insurance companies argued with workman's compensation as to who would pay the bills.
Eighteen months, two workman's compensation hearings before workman's compensation Insurance was ordered to pay for treatment. Treatment because what is wrong with me cannot be fixed. Two days before their appeal rights expired they notified my attorney they were appealing to circuit court. This could take another two years. I fell into a deep depression. Laying down in front of a speeding freight train was looking very good.
That was ten years ago and because of this I think I am more than qualified to tell you suicide is not the answer. One week later the insurance company fired the adjuster on my case cancelled their appeal, paid me the money they owed me and allowed me to start seeing the doctors who eventually were able to control my pain at a level that I can deal with.
No I am not pain free although there are day when I am. What I have to decide now is if what I want to do is worth the level of pain it will bring on. If I decide to do it I also have additional medications that will quickly break through the pain and get me back to a level I can deal with. Most of my medications are non-narcotic. The breakthrough medication is a narcotic medication I take only when needed.
For my depression I saw a psychiatrist who prescribed anti-depression medication for about two years and I also saw a psychologist for talk therapy. My pain medication and pain treatments are done at a pain management center.
I still see the psychologist 4 times a year as it is part of the pain management treatment. To make sure I do not slip back into depression. Depression causes pain and pain causes depression.
There is hope and help for chronic pain, you just need to see the right doctors.
If you have not been seen and treated by a Pain Management Center than you need to see one. These doctors are anesthesiologist specially trained to deal with Chronic pain. They should have Board certifications to practice this specialty.
I would suggest if you have a level 1 Trauma hospital near you that you contact them and see if they have a pain management center within the hospital or affiliated with them. This is the type center I see and also where my neurosurgeon practices.
Find a psychiatrist for medication and a psychologist for talk therapy. These are the mechanics for getting over the depression. The rest is up to you and how compliant you are with treatment. I can't tell you how the talk therapy works in fact I was sure it would not work because I thought psychiatry was a bunch of bull. I'm here today because it did work and it will work for you.
Suicide is the wrong solution not the answer. I'm living proof of that.

Im not sure who your referring to here when you come here saying that we're selfish. you obviously dont know the admins or mods here but it sounds like you need help. On a professional level too i might add.
You come here asking no questions, and in doing that you know that theres nothing we can say to help you. we're called advicenators for a reason we give advice to those who need it. you do not obviously because you would have ASKED A QUESTION. so if you have one.....please...share it...
