Christians (or anyone who won't diss my religion) - please help me - I am suicidal.?

Question

okay so i will give you a little background.

i have depression, anxiety, especially of social situations, and i am a self harmer.

this week i went to soul survivor, a christian camp and got filled with the holy spirit lots and also spoke in tongues. i felt amazing, god was with me, i love him, i knew i should live because he wanted me to and i was living for a reason and a purpose, and someone prophesised for me and said god had plans for me and kept me alive.

however, i got back yesterday and now i'm really suicidal. i feel like the world's so imperfect that i want to go up to him, the perfect one, because life just isn't doing it for me.

now - what shall i do now? is there anything in the bible about suicide?

PLEASE help me and NO STUPID ANSWERS please because i'm being totally serious and no non-christians dissing my religion. either answer my question or not at all.

THANK YOU

i am so desperate

Answer 1

the suicide will keep you in the darkness untill you have reached the moment of your natural death.

You will only do a suicide once in all the all other lifetimes you are blessed with.

being in the dark is not fun, at all.

Could you please look in to what your food and drugs and alcohol intake is and choose better food and stop the booz

and do a regular workout like every other day

get out of your head and into your HOLY body

Does this ring a bell?

good luck

Answer 2

Christian preach that the act of takeing a life is a sin.Period. Yours. his, hers its all the same.Know this my friend, the Great Spirit is with you always! You and I stood before the Creator and heard the call to come into our exsistance.To be tried,to have the obsticles that hold us all back stand in our way. But dont give up ! Even Jesus Christ ( perfect as he was) had one moment of doubt when he thought His Father had forsaken him, and left him to die. Your Heavenly Father wants you to succed.A loving parent doesnt want their child to fail.He will not give you more than you can bear. Also your not alone, people do care.I do.E mail me if you want.All things pass with time and persrverance.you can do it! Remember thi also, ther is no honor in suicide.How do you think you'll feel when The Great Spirit ask you what has become of you time in our exsistance. Good Luck My Friend! You will be in my [e-mail]

Answer 3

Nothing wrong with being a Christian. I'm not, but still like wearing that Promise Keepers jacket with that amazing logo "Men of Integrity"!

  I heard something that stopped me from doing the same, the night I was planning to. "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem"!

  If the world didn't need you, you wouldn't be here. Do you think god doesn't know what she's doing?

  However if you don't give out your gifts by doing the things you love - then its like a slap across the face of your creator. Because if you valued yourself enough, you'd go out and give of yourself!

Answer 4

Pull yourself together and stop seeking attention; if you were serious you would have topped yourself by now. If you want purpose in your life then go for example as an aid worker to Africa; not only would you be doing good but you would realise there are people who are really in need and by helping them you would become "needed" and maybe loved.

If you have found god then maybe god prompted me to send this message in order to redirect you life.

That camp will have done you more harm than good, get out in the world and use your god given life to help others and in doing so you will help yourself!

Answer 5

forget about religion you need to see a Doctor you are not well

Answer 6

Thou shall not kill I know that to some might seem vague but I believe you can include yourself in that statement? I have been in your shoes and it's really tuff not wanting to end your suffering but you must get past that and think about the suffering you heap on those that are left behind. I had a step-son that I raised from the time he was in first grade and was part of my life until he killed his self at age 25 over a break up with a girlfriend. I was in a terrible depression before his death. First the depression lasted a few days, then it turned into weeks, months and years. I went to therapy and was given medications that quite frankly made me feel worse in other ways such as constant dry mouth, weight gain, weight loss, seeing things that weren't there, being awake for a few hours then falling asleep for a few hours and going on like this for days. I more or less told my step-son good bye figuring that I was going to finally kill myself with-in the next few days but instead of me it was him that killed his self after the big fight after his girlfriend  told him that she had cheated with his best friend. He went out and got drunk came home and shot his self in the head with a rifle. A friend found his body the next day when he came over to pick him up for work. The medical examiner removed the body and did his report and next was the matter of closing up his apartment and cleaning up the mess. My now ex-husband had to work and I wasn't about to let the girls who were in their teens clean up the place so I did the clean up work myself. I grabbed one end of the couch that he shot his self on and took it out to the curb. The couch had blood soaked all the way through from the cushion to the bottom. The smell of death was still there. "yes death has a smell" and I began to clean the floor up where there was a big puddle of blood with a cleaning solution that was in a bucket, my bare hands and a sponge. Every time I would wring out the sponge his blood would come up between my fingers and I would be thinking about how this was the blood that once pumped through his heart and the idea of it was making me ill but I still managed to get the floor cleaned. His death tore apart the whole family and this once what seemed like a happy family would never be the same. His older sister started drinking and doing drugs and really made a mess out of her life and the lives of her young children. His younger sister was a mess and had to see a therapist to try to deal with her brother's death and was in the hospital because of it a few times. My husband was tore up inside so much but couldn't even bring his self to talk about it but he had a terrible anger inside that wouldn't go away and we eventually split up because of it. The lesson I learned about the whole thing was sure you might have ended your suffering! But just think of the ones you leave behind and how much they will suffer? Is it fair to them? BTW he died Feb 1, 1993 and there isn't a day goes by that I don't think about him and how badly his suicide impacted my life. Get help now! Talk to a minister, friend or if the feeling gets too strong to bare call a suicide prevention hotline. But don't end your life because you never will know if you would have found the one that you love the rest of your life is just around the corner? Or if you might strike it rich or something really fantastic would have happened if you had stayed? I often wondered what my grand-children would have looked like if my step-son Ron were still here today? Unfortunately I will never know the answer will I?  

Answer 7

Say man, i've felt that way before too....But God needs to you stay here.  He has work for us all to do and a life for us all to live.  You're presence is NEEDED here.  The scriptures tell us that WE DO NOT DECIDE WHEN LIFE ENDS.  That's for him to decide.  Please, talk to someone at church, or even online if you're too shy to talk face-to-face about it.  Depression passes...many of us experience it at one point or another.  But it does pass!  Just the fact that you're reaching out shows that your spirit desires to move on!!  Look deep within' yourself and push forth...This life we've been given is very special....I know you'll be okay

Answer 8

Your Answer:

First, the anti-depressant question.

Why are you depressed? Do you have a reactive depression- where something has happened to make you depressed, or do you have a chemical depression where there is an imbalance in your brain that is responsible for you being depressed?

If it is that have a reactive depression then you do not need medication, for whilst that *could* help you with your feeling low, it won't treat the cause, and that is what you need to do. You need to identify and work on treating the cause. You don't necessarily need antidepressants just because you feel low.

if your doctor hasn't already given you medication, then there is every chance that you don't really need it and to go on it when you don't need to could give you some added problems that you won't want to deal with as well as your depression.

I'm going to tell you something that a friend said to me a couple of weeks with regards to feeling suicidal enough to want to go and meet my maker, so to speak. She said that I might have problems here, but I would have a much bigger one when I get up to Heaven because my Heavenly Father wouldn't be too happy at the fact that I had thrown away the life that He had given me, and I would then have to explain it all to Him, and that just made me think that it isn't worth it. I think that I should wait and go see him on His terms, not mine... perhaps you should do the same...

I don't know about there being anything in the Bible about suicide, but I think that this act should be looked on as a permanent solution to a temporary problem, to kill yourself because today the world and life isn't doing it for you takes away from you the opportunity to experience tomorrow, next week, next year, when amazing things can happen.

It is okay in my mind to feel this way, but don't act on it. There is no real reason to and you will have days when you feel better than you do now.

Answer 9

I have been in your situation, try the anti-d's. and give them some time as they will take a month or so to make any serious difference. - Also you shouldn't dishonour your god who placed you here for a reason by giving up the gift of life. Try reading the story of Job. There was a man who struggled.

Stay alive, there is nothing more important than that.

Yes we are in an imperfect world but you should try to make it better by your presence not worse for your family by dying.

Answer 10

Get some meds.

It is against God to commit suicide as I am sure you are aware.

Are you making the most of your life?

You sound lonely.

Answer 11

go kill ur self because we need less humans on this planet thinking theres something wrong with them when its all in ur head go smoke some pot the goverments ssri's arent going to help you.

Answer 12

I think there is something about going to h**l if you kill yourself, I think it might be Catholics that believe that.  As I have suicidal tendancies myself, I can tell you a couple things.  First of all, I get suicidal when reality strikes you square in the face.  I think some people would point and laugh, and say thats because I'm 'weak' or whatever.

Its actually a lack of or abundance of certain chemicals in my brain.  Its not a weakness, its more ... hereditary.  I am on anti depressants to ease the thoughts of hurting myself.

Unfortunately, there is no 'magic' pill that will make you whole and better.  That takes therapy.  The pills are more to get you to see a light at the end of the tunnel ,to ease your path toward healing.

I probably sound like I'm ranting, but I didn't attack you once.  I think anyone that does attack a suicidal person is evil and just plain mean.  If you ever need someone to talk to just IM/e-mail me.  

Your therapist will be very interested in the fact that you have suicidal thoughts.  Tell them, its kinda a need to know thing.

Answer 13

Yes.  You should be on anti-depressants so you don't harm yourself. It appears to be chemically related and medication can fix this imbalance. Medication will help you see the beauty in the world through all the bad. Don't hurt yourself, as taking your sacred life will condemn you to h**l for eternity if you believe the teachings of the bible.  Protect yourself.
