I don't see the point in living. I don't think I could ever be happy. I have friends, one that is very supportive and who knows about what I'm going through but I still feel alone. I don't believe in destiny, but I think it is my destiny to die. I have no more intrests.

As long as you are alive, you have a God-given purpose for being here. Keep posting and let us know more about you. You can also help somebody else by telling your story. We are all battling tough circumstances in different ways.

You are always needed and there is always a reason to keep going. I know that feeling though, when suicide is constantly on your mind and it over rides everything you once found joy in. I eventually found out its because my serotonin levels were unhealthily low because of my genes. Once I started taking gummy vitamins over a month the chemicals in my head all balanced ( though with a few relapses) and I mellowed out. Have you done any research into articles about suicide and what can cause it for most people?

Suicide is a permanent answer to a temporary problem. There must be some good memories in there. Look for them. Hold on to them.
Everybody has a story that will convince someone else that they are not alone. Be that "Everybody".

Hugs. Maybe there is no point to living. I have a pretty nihilistic mentality even on my good days, but I know that suicide is not the clean cut solution we want it to be. When a person takes their own life the pain they felt does not disappear, it just spreads out like a destructive wave onto everyone around them, everyone that ever shared or would have shared a connection with them.

These feelings will dampen and you will find interests and happy days again so come here and keep talking and you will get through this.

Hi, thanks for all the encouraging responses. What I mean by it is my 'destiny to die' is that 'God's plan for me is to die. My 'God-given purpose' was to live until 17 and then die. I know that maybe someday I could get better, everyone everywhere says that, but the pain and emptiness that I feel right now is just overwhelming. Killing myself is almost always on my mind.
