It is extremely important that if you are having this thoughts or feeling this way you seek Help if not Professional help, call a crisis hotline. I know the stem reads that you don’t want to tell anyone but this is the type of situation where you should reach out. It doesn’t necessarily have to be someone you know but anyone that can help you. Suicide could be tricky it starts out with thoughts about it, could mature to obsessing about it, creeps up on anyone because it doesn’t discriminate at all. Just know as bad as all can be there is always a way out. Your life is meaningful and important to all of us. Remember we are all connected and there is a purpose for you here that no one else can fulfill except You.

I've been in your position before and I completely understand the feeling of not wanting to be judged or freak anyone out. I have actually called the crisis hotline a couple of times, even to this day when I'm feeling very depressed. Even just talking anonymously to someone helps SO much. Talking through things with someone who is voluntarily there to help you is the best feeling, especially the fact that it's available 24/7. If you can reach out and find a therapist as well that you can connect with, I would suggest that too. That way you can establish a continuous connection with someone who keeps your information confidential and is there to help. Wishing you all the best

Welcoming you to the story called Life. Feeling this very feeling is not uncommon. Sometimes I feel the same too.. just like you. And every time I feel suicidal, I take a book and start writing about anything and everything that comes to my mind or I browse my laptop for inspirational quotes on the concept of existence. Do some yoga and meditation.
Life can get hard sometimes. But, never lose hope. Let's try not to give into the fight. Stand strong. Struggle and overcome the strongest turmoil within us & one day we shall see how our life takes a turn.

When your mind is clear of intense emotions, ask yourself if you have someone who cares for you incredibly. Maybe just tell them a small vent first to test. Like tell about a bad waiter or something. If they seem supportive tell them. Please, you owe it to yourself to try and turn your life around. There's just probably a chemical imbalance in your brain. Which can be treated. You deserve change, you deserve to feel better and live happily. If you don't feel you have someone supportive, then try to reach out to a suicide hotline. Tell them about your lack of support, maybe they have a solution. The dark thoughts won't last forever. Think of all the things you can still accomplish. It's never to late to turn things around!

First try to identify why you want to kill yourself, i understand not wanting to tell anyone as it will raise unnecessary questions or being afraid thatno one will understand, you can call a national suicide hotline as i am not a licensed therapist but if your country doesnt have one, know that you killing yoirself will not help anyone. It might seem like it will but it wont, try talking about it with someone you trust and know wont judge you. Know what your worth and understand that things, although are tough and difficult now will get better and you cannot give up.

I have felt this way in the past. There is a sense of isolation when I experienced this and I was too scared of what they'd say, how they'd react - and I feared worrying others. When you feel suicidal, it is the best to talk to at least one person you trust and will actively listen to you. You are your own person, and it is up to you to make that choice. It may make you anxious and apprehensive at first, but it may help you. There is a chance it will not help, and you may end up too afraid to open up to others. I'd strongly recommend that you call a suicide hotline, or privately consult a therapist to help you through tough times. I've provided some contacts down below to help you.

Try reaching out to the national suicidal hotline, I promise they can help you and no one else would have to get involved. You can also go to the therapy community here on 7 cups to seek professional help for what you’re going through. There are so many people that would love to help you in any and every way they possibly can. You are not alone, there are kind people all around you. If the suicidal thoughts, feelings, or actions become increasingly worse, I would recommend calling the hotline as well as telling your parents, which I know is extremely difficult, and they may not understand. However, they do need to be in the know so that they can help as well. You are their child, and they love you. They do. They care.

I was the exact case like you. Actually it is still like that. In my case I can't tell anyone. What I did was I wrote a diary. Not long. Maybe 2,3 sentences to express my feelings and not even everyday. Just the days I felt so depressed that I cried and stuff.
But I want to tell you that if the suicidal thoughts become too strong to handle yourself you should definetley seek professional help. In my case I didn't have a too strong suicidal thought and it comes and goes. I strongly suggest that you seek professional help before everything becomes too overwhelming. If you are already in that state then go and seek help. I hope this helped.

Try to do things that make you happy, its tough to go through life. when you don't want to live, but doing things that make you happy and proud of what you do will allow yourself to see that there is things in this world to live for. And it is really your choice not to tell someone, but sometime stalking to someone will allow you to see things in a different light. at least that was happened to me when i finally decided to talk to someone. there's always a different way to see the situation, its hard sometimes but never give up on life. if the situation is what you want it to be change it so you don't feel like dying
