you'll never get the satisfaction of knowing that you hurt them... you'll be dead.

Please see my post "human suffering." I think you'll relate. Suffering is the lot of humanity. Best wishes.

If for a moment your family & friends ceased to exist, Would you still want to kill yourself?

I don't think there's such thing as a good reason to kill youself but if it were just you, what is that bad about you that you should die?

I've looked at your profile and you are quite the dude!
Guitar? Mechanic?

Sounds like fun!

Give it till your 30 and see how you feel?

I'm here if you need to talk.

Nobody deserves to have a loved one die. I've been through that and it hurt like hell. Ignorance of someone's problems is not a reason that they should suffer too

I hate to say this to you, but it is a cold, cold world out there and it always seems as if no one cares.

I feel that way all of the time - my parents are NOT there for me (maybe financially, but no emotional support) - they don't understand depression and I get picked on or yelled at more than supported. I have no friends.

I made it through the last ten years, so I think you can do the same.

I know you're angry, I feel resentful, too, but I read once that, "you should be a little kinder than necessary, because everyone is going through some kind of battle."

Everyday is hard for me, but I am still here.

First of all, I'd like to apologize because I didn't think about what I was saying and how it would make others feel. I tend to do that....ermmm...I am sorry, really. I was only stating how I feel about it, and I didn't mean anything by it, other than to express that thought because it's been bugging me lately.

I also would like to say that they are most certainly "ignorant" of my problems, they can't be. I've been saying for the last four years, to all of my family, and they just said "get over it" and moved on. They know, they just choose to not mess with the situation.

Mechanic and guitar are great, I like them but I never have a chance to do that. I'm always doing something or stuck in this hell hole apartment with people who sleep all the time. I really would like to get better at both, but neither are going to get me anywhere in life anyways, so why even bother with them? I'm not trying to be negative, that is just how I look at the situation.

The only person you should worry about loving enough to stay alive is yourself. Lets face it -you are the only person who knows you and will be with you 100% of the time. Everyone else comes and goes. So your opinion of yourself is all that matters.

prove em wrong. Live to spite em if you feel that way.

Yeah, don't you love the people who tell you to just let it go? Just get over it? Like it some little problem that everyone goes through and overcomes.

That shit pisses me off.

When I said "ignorance of someone's problems" I didn't mean them not knowing, I meant then refusing to understand or acknowledge the extent of the problem..... just to clear that point up :-)

Oh my bad...I just take everything literally, not your fault so don't apologize. I understand what you mean.

Well, sometimes I imagine what people would feel if I was gone. I think they would be devastated, and sometimes I think they would finally just understand something that was real. I couldn't hurt my younger brother like that. It would ruin his life and, also..what message am I giving to him? He deals with a lot of anxiety and hard times on a daily basis. I don't want him to think there is no hope.

People don't take things seriously until something bad happens and that is just how humans are.

What is it about human nature?
