Help I feel so hopeless!?

Question

So I was just wondering if anyone has felt so hopeless that they have contemplated suicide? I am not saying that I feel like killing myself, just that the option sometimes seems a little better than this mess that I call my life. If so, what did you do to make it go away?

Answer 1

I have felt like that but I went to seek help now am fine.

Answer 2

Well I have a bunch of scars on my wrist from a batched suicide attempt 4 months ago.  I had 52 stitches.  It wasn't worth it.  In the evenings I cry myself to sleep because I miss my ex girlfriend.  I deal with the pain and carry on.

Hopeless, yes many of us have this.  But get busy, work, school, volunteer and communicate with others.  Don't sit at home thinking about your wasted time.  I find pleasure by helping others, and by taking care of animals.  

To help others is to have a purpose in life.  It's a selfless act that creates good in a society that can be awfully cruel.

Bless you because I am in your shoes.

Answer 4

I believe that everyone gets to that certain depressed stage where suicide is contemplated.

As for me, I think of what my family's life would be like if I weren't around.

And then I think about my favorite things that I wouldn't be able to enjoy anymore.

And then I get out of it. :]

Answer 5

I have! Mine went away by saying, "Look at my sis, bro, mom, dad, adult friends and their teens, etc.. They are so happy with life and having so much fun! I don't wanna give this up!!" I just prayed to my Lord and Savior the one and only Jesus Christ, and it got all better!

Answer 6

I feel like that a lot of times, but I never let people know that. I feel like one day, when I escape the feeling, things will come easier - and I can PROVE to everyone that made life a living h**l how worthless they really are. Then I'll go for world domination!

Answer 7

Everybody has rough patches.  In Psych class in college we were told that "Suicide is what happens when all of your coping mechanisms fail".  Obviously you understand that you are feeling beat down and that's a good sign.  There are plenty of excellent websites and chat rooms you can turn to if you don't feel comfortable talking to someone in person.  

Answer 8

Yes, I have felt that hopeless.  I think of my boyfriend, and he says I won't be able to help anyone if I kill myself.  I still have a chance to make a difference, even if I feel worthless.  I also think of tomorow, and what could happen.  Maybe tomorrow will be the same as today, but maybe it will be different.  Tomorrow could be the day the clouds start breaking.  Of course, sometimes you have to make it different.  Think of something you want to live for, a friend, family, a pet, maybe marriage, and put your all into getting it and staying alive for it.  You can commit suicide at any time, and so you have nothing to lose in seeking professional help, or waiting just that extra day.  E-mail me if you like!!  

Answer 9

Think about how much I would be hurting others even more then myself. My parents would blame themselves and they don't need. I would never consider suicide though.
