Suicide is never the right decision. And by your other posts, are you religious? Then you definitely can not kill yourself.

It is normal to feel depressed, scared, unsure, during this pandemic. I was crying every day when this first started. Now, I am just dealing with it. We are all dealing with this pandemic, you are not alone. Be grateful that you don't have the virus. Think of ways you can help others during this time. Get your mind on things you can do to help other people. Does your family need help with anything?

Coronavirus will not be forever. But dying is forever.

You are 18 years old. Call your parents, or talk to them if you live with them, and tell them you are feeling this hopelessness and depression. Do it now. Then post back here to tell us what they said.

Never consider killing yourself.

That should never be an option.

You have so much life ahead of you!

What’s happening right now is temporary, always remember that.

Keep strong and know that there is a light at the end of this tunnel!

Please keep coming to the site and talk! After you talk to your family!

Peace and love to you!!!

Permanent solutions to temporary problems are never the right decision.

Hope you stick around to see what happens next.

You all make some excellent points. Thank you for your honesty and support. I'll keep in touch here. I hope you all have a good night

Consider calling the crisis line. They can help. Suicide is never the way out. Your life matters and you have so much to discover. Right now is very difficult for all of us. . It will get better. Please take the next step and get help. Hugs.

Thanks again for caring. You're right, I have been on suicide hotlines and they are always helpful. I'm talking to a counselor on Thursday, because I really let things get out of hand

And? ? ? Keep us posted, Sonof.

I also frequently consider suicide. But I am a Christian and I pray pray pray for God to help me through the tough times.
Also I have made multiple suicide attempts and I’m still here so I believe God must have a purpose for me.
If I made another attempt and failed I am afraid my pdoc will stop seeing me and he’s the best one I’ve had so I don’t want to lose him.
So I just let the suicidal thoughts sit in my head. I acknowledge them and I push past them.

I haven't thought to directly kill myself==but I once in awhile think I might go out and lick some doorknobs just to get it all over with! and maybe I'd be fine and wouldn't have to worry about it any longer. But this is what I end up after those thoughts: I mean there is an excellent chance that you will be fine--it is killing 1.2 percent of the population or something like that--so that means there is a huge chance-that you will be ok....(this is me, talking myself out of horrible thoughts) so why give up and kill yourself when there is a larger chance you will be all right. And here is my spiritual take on it--that I have to keep remembering--God has a plan-if we have faith in God then the "right thing" will happen (even if we don't perceive it as the "right thing." I've always felt that there was some presence in my life, guiding me. All of the changes that I've feared along the way have been to my benefit in the long run--so I've got to keep the faith that God has a plan now. I'm not sure even I'm buying all that right now--but its something to think about!

I've tried three times. Each was a cry for the pain and depression to stop. My one real time, I top pills right after my wife left to shop knowing that I would be alone for hours. She returned shortly after she left and found me passed out and called 911. It was God intervening. So I think there is a God and he exists and he wanted me to go on. I was given a second chance.
