Don't know what to do

Rex

I've been suicidal for quite some time but I'm too scared to get help. It's too intimidating. I can't even call a hotline in my own language, beacause it somehow feels too personal. I can't deal with this alone anymore, I don't know what to do..


Edit: Thank you for the comments. I appreciate it.

It's hard to open up to someone that you don't know.
Is there anyone at all that you could talk to, like a friend or
family member?
There are lots of teen help lines and a text to talk line.
It might seem hard but seems like you're at the end of your rope.
You came here, didn't you! Big step.
Lots of hugs.

You've taken a big step by opening up here. Releasing your feelings is so very important. This group is a safe way to do that. Another option might be writing your feelings out or talking to someone you trust. I'll keep you in my prayers. Things canalways improve if you keep trying and don't give up.

If you don't know what to do - do nothing! Don't get help. Don't commit suicide. Do nothing...until it 's time to act and reach out to someone or something.

    After work, I am taking a defensive driver course today.  It is online and only cost $10 and it may save me as much as $300 on my car insurance.  I got the information from my car insurance company.  Little known fact about me is that I drive with two feet.
