on the point

I'm at the point in my life, as a 17f as a senior in high school, where I know that things will get better, but am constantly thinking about how there would be no difference if I were to kill myself right now. I'm not going to do that, in the hopes that there would be a difference, but the thought is always there.

You are so young, of course you'll have time to make a difference.
Also, you don't need to be a hero to deserve life.
Everyone alive deserves to live, even if they hurt society.
And I wouldn't worry to much about grand plans. There are going to be a whole lot of bumps and detours out of your control. Best to roll with them, and not worry about your "worth" as a living being.

The devil hates us and all of them thoughts are from him because we are made in God's image and he does not want you to do God's will!

Gee, thanks Brenda, but I don't think having a tough time in college and getting depressed is either God's will or the devil whispering in people's ears.
Hey, some people find help in religion, that's OK, but if you just copypasta irrelevant shit, you are not helping.

Been where your at. I was unable to walk with my class due to an injury that started my sting of depression. I'm now a sophomore in college, with a group of pretty amazing friends. I still have bad days. Depression isn't something that disappears at the drop of a hat. I was crying in my car Friday because a rodeo is in town and since my accident, I hate rodeos when I used to love them. But then I have days like today. I go have dinner with my friends, and spend time with them. It gets better, but not easier if that makes any sense at all. One day I'm told it gets easier, I'm just not there yet. Just keep your head up, find a goal, and set out to accomplish it.

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" - Aristotle.

think away. Nothing wrong with your brain functioning. Let it function.

But don't buy every line it spins.

You are just beginning your life and you are worthy of being alive. You have a lifetime to look forward to. Think positive thoughts and surround yourself with people who i s positive. Avoid people who are negative. They will only bring you down. If you to have those ending your life kind of thoughts, talk to your parents about it and maybe they can find a therapist to talk to. Don't give up on life.

That's just a horrible thought. You would be missed. Your life would be over, at such a young age. You matter. Give yourself some time. Come here and write, it helps me. I'm way older than you are, and I've had those thoughts of suicide before, too. When I'm feeling good, I can look back at those thoughts and almost laugh at myself. They just bombarded my brain! Over and over, it is and was crazy thoughts. Hang in there, the thoughts will pass and you'll carry on. Peace & Love
