Sometimes when we feel this way, and believe me I do understand thinking and feeling this way, we have to do whatever we can to hang onto hope. Hope that later today or even tomorrow you will wake up and this feeling is less. That the new day looks brighter for some reason. Maybe something that gives your life a new meaning is just around the corner.

At least on here, it helps to not feel so lonely and isolated because people here truly understand how this feels. If you ever need a listener, I will listen. Just please hang on, give your life more time and see what is waiting for you in each day. So many people here care and will listen...Just think about life some more..Think about what you would miss if your not here.

You say you just started taking your meds. You have to give them a chance to work. If they don't then change them. Hang on, you have a lot of work ahead of you and the more you understand what your body is telling you the better you will feel.

You say you like sports......begin by watching at a game. Become engaged in the activities you enjoy. One minute at a time is all we can work on...........give the meds some time, or seek help if they are getting worse. Don't even think of giving up. There is too much ahead of you that you can't see yet. Step back and relax and give therapy a chance too............

There is hope - I do believe that - for all of us, but not if you give up. We are sensative people, but with a great deal of strength. One minute and then another........

Hugs and prayers,
Karen

Please give the meds some more time.

Hugs & peace.

I also have started a new medication and I have the same feelings. I feel like I am going to jump out of my skin.

What do you say let's give this a few more days and see what will happen. It can't hurt anything can it? If you jump off the cliff, you will never know. What's a couple of days.

I am willing to give the medicine a few more days if you are.

"if i kill myself it will all come to an end."

You are correct; ALL will come to an end ... EVERYTHING .. forever.

A much better idea is to stay alive and work on the bad 'stuff' coming to an end. That leaves a lot of good stuff and a life well worth living.

Lean on DS to help, take your meds, feedback to your doctor, and work on it. Depression is very, very treatable and as long as you stay at the plate, a home run is possible.

it takes time for the meds to work
give it a few more days

i understand how you are feeling believe me
i took a overdose and it caused more problems than it solved

talk with us here and see if this feeling goes

Hang on in there, please. Listen to some up beat music, read a book, read other members profiles or journals, just anything to distract you.
It will feel better, please give yourself a break

could be the meds, not kicking in,or not suiting you,,whichever please go and see your doctor,,it can be sorted,,the other option can't...come back and talk...xxx

The hardest thing for us to do...is wait out the bad times, because we're convinced they'll never end. But they do. Nothing is forever. While you're in a bad period, as others have said, find ways to distract yourself, play a silly computer game, watch a silly movie (this is what I do) stay away from things that'll bring your spirits down.

As for the meds; I can't advise as to that, since I've never gone the med route. But others certainly have the right idea; see your doctor if they're having negative side effects.

Please hang on hun..there are many here at DS who can tell you how they have been affected by losing a relative to suicide...and the stories are heartwrenching!!! It will take some time for your meds to kick in..please try to hang on..Hugs xxx

Thank you for your advice everyone it means alot, I dont choose to have the suicidal thoughts they just come to me and im just scared that one day i will act on them, i have tried to overdose 2 times and luckily im still here, going through some tough times at the moment, in a hard relationship, Mums really ill, i cant play football for a while through injury plus i feel really lonely and feel like im being let down all over the place but i belive im strong and can turn this around just the anxiety and fear and thoughts im having are too much and make me feel inadiquate (i cant spell).
Not sure how to better my life everything i try still makes me end up at square one, i need to be stronger for my gf and my mum but its damn hard.

You're right. You don't choose to have these suicidal thoughts.

Suicide is not chosen; it happens
when pain exceeds
resources for coping with pain.

Please read this hun....it has helped me many a time. In fact I'm reading again right now.

Felt exactly like this when I started on meds, give them a little while longer, the feeling should pass, if it doesn't change meds, they are no longer working for you. You say you must be strong for your family but please remember you have to look after yourself first - you cannot help them if you are ill and so you must come first. Keep coming back and talking. xx

Thank u
