No Reason to Live

Hey everyone, I'm here to share my story with you if you don't mind listening. 


I've been struggling with depression as long as I can remember. My first suicide attempt was at 8(?) years old. Everyday, I just try and get through the day without hurting myself or having a mental breakdown. I feel like I'm just going through the motions because I have to. 


I have no happiness in my life, my recent boyfriend (who actually made me extremely happy), broke up with me this morning because he can't "emotionally commit". I have no meaning in my life, obviously no husband, no children. I have no reason to get up in the morning.


After talking with the Crisis Hotline, I'm still horribly suicidal. I feel like there's no point to continue each day. I have no reason to live. If I went through with it, I would finally be free of all the daily misery and pain.


Opinions? Thank you.

Thank you for the courage in sharing. Heartbreak is such a difficult thing to deal with, while dealing with Depression. The fact that you are seeking help while dealing with that is inspirational. We live with Depression, but it isn't us. Many don't understand that, or are too afraid. Please do stay in the fight. We can all use your inspiration. The fact he made you extremely happy means that it is possible for you. That possibility is a future reality. The wound is still very fresh and it is a painful wound. You are more than worth the wait on that one that will make you more than extremely happy. I hope this was of any help. I am a Christian, so you are in my prayers. Thank you.

You’d also be free from all the opportunity to see yourself heal, and become a new version of yourself. You can achieve peace. I’m here to talk if you need me!

I was depressed for a while and want to kill myself but after I met a few people who are now my close friends I was the happiest and still am. So try to get out there find someone you can trust because its good talk about.

I have suicide thoughts since I was a child. I feel depress with friends and family. Of course with most people. I have to spend 2-300 dollar to feel better in the clubs. I am running out of money.

Thank you for the support. A day has passed and I still feel the same. I feel like life is just completely meaningless. I feel like my soul is black and empty. I don't see a reason to continue putting myself through this kind of daily misery.

Life isn't the cloud, but in the rays of light that shine through. Your courage in seeking help is one of those rays, as you are a ray to me. Thank you. You are in my prayers.

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
