Why should i go through my life so depressed?

Question

why not just end it..

Answer 1

No, Don't speak like that. Do something that makes you happy; I'm going back to college because I want to do something that makes me happy and that's going for Journalism; Which I love. There's a God; I have a hard time not worrying, but I do what I can do about that. Please go deep within your soul and find out what makes you happy. Please mediate and clear your mind.

Answer 2

because you will not always be depressed.  Trust me.  As someone who was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, i know how awful it feels to wake up everyday and just pray that you can drag yourself out of bed and face the world.  i know the feeling of wondering if it would just be easier to just die and not have to worry anymore

BUT

I also know the feeling of getting help, of learning to control my emotions instead of letting them control me.  of feeling better and starting to enjoy life again

It was not easy for me.  I checked myself into the hospital for a week and then had a moth or two or intensive therapy afterwards but now I am better and I feel as though I have the skills to make sure that I never fell that low again.

Please PLEASE talk to your doctor, tell them you need to see a psychiatrist.  Get some therapy (CBT and DBT worked well for me).

Answer 3

You do not have to go through life so depressed.  There is help available out there for you, dear.  Consult with either your doctor or with a mental health facility in order to get some help.  It is not shameful for you to consult with professionals that can help you with this.  

Good luck to you.

I understand what you mean.  Do you ever feel like people get that you're depressed and all, but really just can't understand how deeply?? I do. I hear the find hobbies, or do what makes you happy advice all the time, but the thing is, it is great advice.  However, it's not nearly as easy as it sounds when nothing makes you happy, and you aren't motivated to do anything.  I am an atheist, so I understand that a belief in God or Jesus is not going to help you. You have hit rock bottom where you can no longer help yourself, and longer want to get help.  You've given up.  I am there as well.  You shouldn't go through life depressed.  That's the point.  You have nothing to lose now, only to remain the same or gain something, so with nothing to lose, why not try therapy?? Even if you have trouble talking, a therapist can ask you questions that may open your eyes, and your own answers may surprise you.  Now I know it's not easy, either asking your parents (depending on your age), or feeling embarassed or stupid going, but you have nothing to lose.  If, after giving therapy a real chance, you decide you want to end things, no one here can stop you.  You can end things at any time, so why not try this first?? You owe it to yourself and those who love you, or maybe you don't, but at the very least, you owe it to yourself. Feel free to email me at any time.

Answer 5

i know what you mean. but for some reason i still want to live. maybe its because i also see it from a friends view. my best friend is in this suicidal state and everyday i worry that she's gonna kill herself. i cant imagine my life without her. it would just be painful. everyone goes thro this state. 95% of people go thro a depressed state where they think about commiting suicide. thats when it shows who you really are. give up or move on? thats your decision, not mine. i wanted to move on and i did. im not completely happy but im satisfied with my life. i dont regret anything. i thought that i probably had more to live for. you have a life and you have no idea where its gonna take you. why end it now when your just gonna die later on? its not gonna hurt you to see where life takes you. it might hurt now but i am postive later on you will find something to make you happy.

Answer 6

You shouldn't end it...In Hamlet, the famous soliloquy, Hamlet asks himself if he should end his life to escape the pain he is experiencing. He decides to keep living because he has no idea what is on the other side and it could much, much worse...there is no evidence in medicine that someone chose suicide and came back to tell everyone it was the right choice.  Suicide is wrong, messy, sad and no one even the victim gains anything from it..life is worth living, even when it seems not..

You most likely suffer from depression and there is numerous ways in this day and age to treat it for people to have successful lives...h**l, some of the most artistic and successful people in the world suffer some mental illness.....

Answer 7

Because there are many medicines out there which will allow you to get out of your depressed state, and when you do, you will see life is completely different.  Trust me, I am on 80 mgs of Prozac, and my personality has completely changed.  I laugh, have a good time.  When I went to work the other day, my manager asked me if I had gotten laid because I was in such a good mood.
