Ok, I’m not depressed all the time, in fact I am pretty optimistic about life. However, I have times when I want to die- seriously die. I have seriously contemplated suicide for more than two years, but as the years go on, more and more work and stress are put on me. I have considered hanging myself or jumping off a building many times, and was at the potential suicide sites (places I could die, not any special place, but just where I was sure I would die if I hanged myself or jumped off, without anyone interfereing) just because I wanted to die. I wanted to escape the pain, the stress and work, and most of all, my future. I was very uncertain about how it would be. I managed hold these urges off by thinking of the pain of dying, the sadness it would bring my family, and the things I wouldn’t be able to do if I died. But the intervals between these urges are getting shorter, and it’s taking longer and longer to rid myself of these urges. What should I do?

Focus on the more work and stress that are put on you. Remove the source of your anxiety and perhaps your impulses to escape that work and stress will also go away.
