I feel depressed, sad, not motivated in doing anything, i just cant see the point of my existence like why was even born. It seams like no one likes me or not interested enough to give me a chance, to get to know me. Its seams like love isn't meant for me or more likely to feel happiness.sad

Your existence is worth everything. There are people out there who love you for existing. Love can be messy and complicated but don't dwell on heartbreak. At the end of the day, YOU MATTER. Your life matters. And don't ever forget that someone will always have a place in their heart for you.

The thing is you don't feel like it is like that. If it was truly like that then why you always are unwanted , why no one thinks that you are important to fight for instead of choosing someone else just because she lives near or that because i never experienced living in country side, what important instead of feelings or is it that i wasn't enough to even to feel like at leastto try

Well... It's Father's Day and I don't have a father so I can honestly say I'm not having a blast today.

My birthday is coming up and all I feel is dread. I don't know how I will get through the day. I hate the phrase "good things happen to good people" because it somehow inplies I am a bad person. Everyday I just watch life pass me by

Your not a bad person. Bad people hate admitting that their bad. Don't let things that happened in the past ruin your special day. Have a Happy Birthday :)

I feel that the world should just let us end it when we want to. Why the big push on suicide prevention.

Because you deserve to live a long and happy life. If you give up now there will be so much you are missing out on and you will never live to know true happiness because things do get better. You have to stick around to see it though. Please stay, beautiful. Don't let the thoughts win because I promise you, you are meant to be in this world

I feel a bit confused. I have a set suicide date, but now I'm second guessing if I should do it or not. I realize that I have so much compared to other people, and that I take it for granted, but if I chose suicide, then I will feel like I am greedy. But, I also am literally only controlling myself because I know that soon It will all be over and I cannot wait.

hey @compassionateSail8728please please please don't go through with your plan. You deserve life. You are a beautiful person and you deserve the chance to get better and be happy. Don't end your life please. I have tried to overdose before and I have also seen my best friend in the hospital numerous times after overdosing and it is the scariest thing I have ever experienced. If you won't decide to stay alive for yourself, do it for those you love. Stay strong x

Hey there. Just stay strong and try to think positive ☺ enjoy little things: like flowers or hearing a little child laughing * sending virtual hug*

Ohhh no dont go through will it. Life was given to you to enjoy.. there are people suffering out there. We all love you. You might have your enemies and you might hate yourself but deep down inside you love yourself just as much as i do. Your probably thinking i dont even know you. But i feel i know everyone in a way and their backrounds. I love everyone and you for who you are. So love you for who you are. Because i sure as heck do.

TropicalMoo22 June 28th, 2015

Don't. You don't even need to come up with a reason. Just decide not to. It's inevitable that you're going to find some reason to stay alive, and once you do you'll be so relieved that you never went through with it. Just hang on.

Schrodingerscat June 28th, 2015

Pick any reason, it can be stupid or silly or crazy but pick a reason why tomorrow might be better. For me I think that if I was dead, I would never get to taste chocolate ice-creamagain and I would never get another cup of my favorite tea. Don't commit suicide, even if the only reason is continuing to watch your favorite tv show.

Briana98 July 11th, 2015

Things will change. I can promise you that. They won't always be this hard. You're doing an amazing job staying alive and I think you should keep at it. If you need someone to talk to and help you through feelings like this, I and many others are always here to help as much as we can.

I'm feeling kind of hopeless today. I feel very alone. I'm tired of living this way.

id112 June 26th, 2015

Hi everyone, Im feeling really down and I was hoping for some advice on how to cope. I have got problems with my joints and have recently been diagnosed with IBS on top of that to go with other health issues. I have issues with my self image and always feel ugly ive tried different things to make me feel better but nothing seems to work I feel under appreciated at work and when I apply for other jobs my anxiety gets the better of me so I feel trapped, when I try to speak to my partner about this I feel im not listened to and we end up arguing so I dont know where to turn my parents dont understand mental health and tell me just to get on with it and on top of that my dog recently died who I used to talk to about problems I know he didnt listen but it got my problems out of my head. I dont know where to turn or what to do my support worker told me I was fine and didnt further treatment about November last year. Any help?

I actually feel both relieved and upset. For... For many years I've kept something that I hadn't told ANYONE about before, I shared I side that I tried to forget but I knew that I couldn't bottle it forever. In a post not long ago I admitted that due to a medical condition that I gained weight due to steroids, and that I was so low... I actually opened up and confessed that I thought of suicide... Please forgive me, I'm not being insensitive towards others who are going through this, but if it hadn't been for my mother talking me out of it, well I obviously wouldn't be here! But now I feel guilty because I admitted such, it was over ten years ago and though I have not been pushed to that brink again, I do at times question my existence. The only person that knew any of this was my mother, and I am forever grateful to her for making me see that life is so very precious. Sincerely I wish not to upset anyone, nor would I ever, I just feel like I'm divided right now. Should I feel guilty? I don't know... But at least my burden has somewhat been lifted.
