I want to die

I asked the suicide hotline for help but it didn’t help. They sent me this and I want to help. I want to die but at the same time I want to live. I’m worrying my friends and girlfriend and I don’t want that. I want it to stop stop stop stop stop! Maybe I should just give a kiss to an oncoming train like somebody once told me to do.

Thank you for sharing. The fact that you want help is a victory. Depression lies using shame. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Worrying about a friend is what friends are for. Don't feel shame in needing help. We all need some kind of help. A Counselor can help with keeping you you. If those feelings get too much, then a Doctor and medicine might be the answer. In general if you are afraid of hurting the ones you love, it means they love you back. Taking away someone they love would hurt them worst of all. I am a Christian, so you are in my prayers. Thank you and I hope this was of some help.

It's wonderful you have friends and a girlfriend that are worried about you,.ive struggled with suicidal thoughts (still do) and the thing that gets me out of it is how it will affect the people I care about. If you can let this be your strength, even if it's only to get you out of a suicidal mindset and get help, is wonderful. Always remember the people you love.

I think whoever gave you the advice to kiss a oncoming train is not really helping you at all. Decent people don’t give advice like that. I’m glad you found this forum. You have a safe space to download and we are here to journey and support you. Hmm, what do you think could have been your triggers for your suicidal thoughts? And how often do you have those thoughts?

It seems to me you are a v caring person. You worry for people whom you care a lot. Can you try let them be your motivation to live? There is hope recovering from being suicidal. I have a friend who used to be suicidal years back and now, she is just so grateful and thankful that she is alive to journey with people who are going through tough time. You will be ok. It will take time to crawl out from this but you will be ok. Take care and I’m keeping you in my prayer. God bless!
