How do you stop yourself feeling suicidal?

Question

I have been suffering with low self esteem and social anxiety for some time and it is getting worse. I keep trying to get myself better by applying for jobs but then I make one day or not even that sometimes because I am so scared of being around people and I have myself so much. I can't stop crying and can't seem to find a way out. I have already seen many medical professionals, including Psychiatrists and take anti-depressants and beta blockers, but nothing seems to have an effect. I am at the end of my tether and feel like no-one understands me. Please help.

Answer 2

It's not stopping suicidal feelings.  It's working through why you feel suicidal what you have to do to stop feeling this way.  Talk to someone you trust or a therapist.

Answer 3

if you feel that no one understands you... is it possible that is because you don't understand yourself?

if you are constantly focused on all that is "wrong" or negative in your life, how can you expect to see the "right" or good that is there?

email me if you like, perhaps I can offer you some ideas.

Answer 4

exercise or clean. It helps me when I am sucidal.

Answer 5

well, have you told your psyciatrist that the meds arent working? if you have, and he isnt doing anything-you need to find a different doctor. they need to re-evaluate you. obviously whatever meds they have you on, or the dosage isnt working. there are tons and tons of different medications on the market-they just need to find the ones for you. dont feel bad, almost all the people i know that have mental illnesses need to get their meds changed- sometimes its because you are getting older, or they just stop working. go talk to the doctor, and get him to start trying different things-maybe it would work faster if they put you in the hospital-thats where my husband goes when they need to change his meds- and they always find the ones that work. listen, sweetie, just stick up for yourself-if this doc is no good, then get another-but there is no reason for them not to find meds that work for you. just hang in there till they get it right, ok? i sure hope they get it right soon, for your sake.

I felt the same way as you. I did not seek medical help and I got out of it myself. I decided to take control of my life and keep myself busy with things that interest me instead of sitting around watching t.v. all day. I stay outside and in the sun as much as possible. I make sure I exercise everyday, even if its just a 45 minute walk. I spend most of my free time reading educational books on subjects that interest me instead of sitting on the computer . I make sure I eat right. I get plenty of rest. I meditate. That alone will change you completely.

You will feel so much better about yourself when you do the things I've done. Your confidence level will rise and you're overall health will improve. If you haven't already, please get off the drugs...they have proven to worsen depression. The only way to cure your depression is to reverse the cause.

There is a way out, you just have to make an effort.

Answer 7

Dont read or watch any depressing movies. Go out and have fun. Forget about everything...just enjoy life. Call a good friend and have them help you out. Make sure there funny. Try to laugh as much possible. Try to set a self esteem goal, like to get buff or to lose weight or to get more girls/guys. This will keep you motivated on life and you will build self esteem at the same time!!

Answer 8

Have you tried buspar for social anxiety?  For low self-esteem you need to meet new people-like at work.  Do things that make you feel good about yourself-like getting physical exercise or doing volunteer work. Lithium has an anti-suicide mechanism.
