I feel you. Wait for 48 hours before you do anything. 48 hours of relaxing, self care, and coping techniques. If you still feel the same way then, enact the safety plan. You might not have the solution to your problems today, but you could find them one day.

Best wishes and comforting thoughts.

You never know what's around the corner. If you leave now, you will never, ever know what could have been. I know that isn't something you feel that you want to see right now. I've been there. But things can change. A few months ago I just wanted to die so bad, and had felt that way on and off for years. But now, I want to be alive maybe even most of the time. It's worth it for those moments of relief to hang on. And, even if it doesn't seem worth it right now, you are such a beautiful soul and it would be a tragedy if you left us. Faith and a passion guided me out of the darkness. I still struggle, but it's more tolerable now. I prayed for you today. Love you, because you are beautiful and you have value. I really sincerely hope you don't give up.

Hey don't. Don't. You don't know me but please don't.

My husband committed suicide. He thought no one could love him through his mistakes and pain. He didn't give us a chance to. My life is ruined. I died with him. I wish he would have taken a moment, a minute, a day to think. If he had any idea the pain his death would cause he wouldn't have done this. If he had any idea his once sweet loving wife would now think about killing herself everyday he wouldn't have done this.

Anyways this isn't about me. This is about you and how you are feeling. I hate that you are hurting. I wish you weren't. All I can tell you is please don't.

Been there and it feels like the sky is fallin on you. You were unsuccessful because somewhere deep inside you don't want to die. I get tired of living and wish I wasn't alive at times, but as time passes these feelings dissipate. Hang in there friend. Keep pourin yourself out like this. We're all here to support you and each other. You aren't alone. -hugs-

pray please!

It's not hard to kill yourself so if you've failed this many times i'd hazard a guess that your heart's not actually in it. Subconsciously you are clearly undermining the efforts so you may as well give it away as a lost job.

Perhaps once you've made a decision at the crossroads of whether to live or die, and have maybe chosen the 'live' path, it'll get more interesting? There is nothing worse that I know of than sitting with a decision in front of you that you cannot make. I would imagine people would attempt suicide in the end just to get the hellish problem out of the way. But really: choosing life is just as easy. And probably has got something in it.

Thing is tho, if you have already tried killing yourself, surely going and volunteering at the local pet centre would be a piece of piss? I mean, surely that's way easier. And it would after all be interesting and get you out the house. And who knows how it would end up. You'd feel strange and lonely at teh beginning, but by a few months in, they'll all feel like old friends there, you will be comfortable.

And then maybe you can join a tramping club, or a painting group.

The trick with growing your life is to choose one small thing you can handle, incorporate it into your life, and then (this is the important bit) KEEP SHOWING UP. Even if you feel stupid for something you said or did last week? KEEP SHOWING UP. People forget. Their lives move very fast. They don't remember anything you did or said last week. I've watched a workmate who is a liar, cheat, shirker and general toxic beast become accepted simply by showing up. If she can do it without topping herself, you've got a WAY better right to do it.

So just... you've got this. And dying clearly isn't the thing that's going to happen. Just give life a go. How bad can it be?

Honestly look. Things may feel rough and the going gets hard. Think about it rationally. What is the whole purpose of taking your life? Could you imagine how many ppl it would affect? There are ppl that care about you but they may not show it. There are other ppl in the world struggling to survive and sacrificing yourself isn't the way to go. You have so much potential and so much to do in this planet. You were put here to do great things in life. You have to think positive your living out your legacy who knows you can help inspire someone else to do great things. I had a friend who lost their life. So sad because I think of her everyday and wish she was still here to talk about certain things. We never knew she would leave one day by talking her own life. All the things she could've done. The people she affected. I'm letting you know I wish she was still around. Cause she was a great person. Take it into consideration you really could do some good being here. Be thankful your breathing and alive cause one day you can change everyone's perspective by doing positive things

Go to the nearest children's cancer ward
Then find the closer home / hospital for the profoundly retarded
You , like them ,can touch somebody on some level that you make a difference

We all tend to wallow in ourselves

Self awareness is healthy

Self absorbtion is not, it leads to over inflated view of oneself or undervalued view of oneself

Somehow you've gotten sideways and think you can't make a difference or matter in your own life
Or on the people's lives that you care about
So
Don't try to
But
Realize that a kind act, no matter how small, for a complete stranger can tip the balance for them , make them think that the world isn't such a cold place
You should consider that

The three people that I've known that committed suicide ...
All where people that were not self centered blow hards that took from this world
They just couldn't see all that they gave

You are not alone! Those of us struggling with depression have walked this lonely path before. Personally, I've walked this path several times, telling myself I don't care anymore, so why should anyone care if I stay here? The few real friends I have give me support, understanding how important it is to talk about how you're feeling. The bravest thing you can do is reach out for help. I know it sounds harsh to hear, but as my therapist has told me, suicide is a selfish act. I convinced myself that my wife and kids would live a happier life if I wasn't dragging them down with me. Reaching out for help was one of the hardest things I've had to do. Life does really suck sometimes but I can tell you there are moments when it's beautiful. Those moments outweigh the dark moments. Please keep reaching out, you are valued, loved and important.

If you can't find a reason to live for yourself, think about those you would leave behind. Do you have family? Try to imagine their sorrow and guilt. Yes, they will blame themselves because they couldn't help you. Do you really want that? I know it hurts. We have all been there. We are still there, at least sometimes. If you have an animal shelter near you, go there and adopt. If you can't adopt, then volunteer. There are countless animals who need you. Pet a dog. Hold a kitty. Animals bring us God's mercy. Please just try.

I agree with Refurb.

Your title is screaming for attention, and I think that's what you're looking for more than anything.

It's hard I can identify. I'm in my late 40s never been married, no children. I'm alone no close friends near. Family dysfunction which is still ongoing today all in denial and no recovery or help they've not gotten. I'm the "problem one" according to them-- needing mental help for anxiety and depression.
Some days I just say I don't want to be here. Life never works well for me and I tend to loose. I'm now in my 40's feeling like I've just existed and survived and never fully lived. :-(

I am soooo sorry. Have you ever heard, Don't bail before the breakthrough..... what if.... just what if..... you give up and the next day, next week, next month, your whole life was going to change and you just had to wait. It's so tough and easier said than done, but I almost gave up on my marriage at 4 years in.... it was over and I was miserable.... you could not convince me that it would ever be any better. I am so thankful we did not divorce. it took time, but we now have been together 30 years and we have a fantastic marriage. Lots of prayers and it wasn't always easy, but it is so worth the wait! Please wait for your breakthrough. Your entire life may change with one situation or one relationship and it may be tomorrow! Don't give up!!!! : )

Please take 3 deep breaths. 10 counts inhale and 10 counts exhale. Every time you're feeling this way, do this. It is amazing how it raises the feel good chemicals in our brains. Also taking a cold shower has the same affect or taking a normal shower and then the last minute or so turn the water to as cold as you can stand it. Also please reach out to a therapist in your area, it is really does help to have some face to face talk therapy. It doesn't always mean they have to diagnose you or that you need pills ( although if that's necessary, that's okay too.) but being able to just talk and let it all out is like exhaling all the crap we pent up and carry with us. I hope this helps you. I am going through some stuff myself and not always the best at taking my own advice but just take it step by step, day by day.
Sending you big hugs.

I'm drowning but if you give up and give in all your suffering will be for nothing... don't give in to the temptation of peace that death might bring you.... life sucks no one knows truly what we are here for but giving up on life means your struggling and pain all of it was in vain. Keep your head up even if it feels like a 200 ton weight keep pushing
