Doesn't anyone notice? I think you should go to the hospital.

I can't imagine the pain you feel in order to do something like that.

But I will say you are VERY young...and please realize that life will get better...it seems it sux bad right now..but it will pass.

When I was your age or close I wanted to commit suicide...when I look back..I get chills at the thought of what was going on that day..and I had every intention of following thru with it.

It was a Thanksgiving..I was alone..kicked out of my Moms home at 17..kicked out of my b/f house....sitting on the floor of a convience store with peanut butter crackers...hating myself because I felt no one loved me.

I called my X boyfriend to say "goodbye"...he picked me up..I had Thanksgiving with his family..someone CARING saved my life.

So therefore, I CARE about how you are feeling...at 23...hmmm..life gets much better after 30...so hold on..don't short change yourself...there are people that care..but they are possibly not knowing how to handle your depression.

Feel special in the fact that you know how to express yourself..you know how to reach out for help..you did it today..you are stronger than you know...and you have a purpose...don't short change yourself or others...please search for your purpose instead of your END..

Why? Did you do something you think makes you deserve to die?
Whatever it is you can get help for it.

I am so proud of you for calling a hotline, that is a HUGE step in the right direction, and it was a brave and strong decision you made.

I am sorry you want to die so badly. Is the reason something specific?

Hang in there, and KEEP GETTING HELP DONT GIVE UP.

Hugs

Why the hell did the person tell you that? Call your doctor or therapist. Do you have any family or friends you can talk to about this?

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...
