Can a mental health counselor help someone like me or am I a lost cause?

Question

I have had a horribly traumatic life, just unreal the amount of things that have happened to me when I was trying to get my life back together

I have always had this fear of death, but now I am almost taking a comfort in it, I have health problems and am thinking of not treating them anymore so hopefully I die

I guess maybe I havent given up on life yet but I dont know, does there come a point when a person is to far gone? can someone take a joy in death when they have a experienced a horribly traumatic life with nothing but pain?

Answer 1

You say that youve had a traumatic life, but you actually dont talk about it, all you do is talk about death.  See if you can ask a doctor for a referral to a psychiatrist.

Answer 2

no i definitely wouldn't say this is a lost cause.

get some professional help, not Y!A help.

a therapist/doctor will know what they're talking about. i'm sure there are a lot of other people like you, so they'll know how to help you.

Answer 3

ive  been in the same place and ive felt like a lost cause too.

you gotta live with it....but from my own experience......lifting yourself up out of the situation your in.......and making a better life for yourself always makes you feel good in the end.

i got high from the age of twelve till 18 to escape from everything bad.

and from my own experience......working hard and making a good life for yourself is the greatest you'll ever feel when you get there. and its worth it.

and you learn that from everything bad.....it enables you to make better decisions on most stuff since you've been through alot like i have.

and if you want a real answer........no amount of "help" will actually help........you gotta do it yourself as i found out.
