I allowed my first suicidal thought to take shape when I was in the fifth grade. That was 22 years ago. Suicidal thoughts have never left me since. There are days when I feel like I cannot live another second of this life and other days are somewhat easier. I hope I am not one of those that will live to be a hundred. How does one explain to someone this feeling that never goes away? When you try, they seem to brush you off because they are frightened and can’t deal with it or they get upset and say the wrong things. Nothing gets resolved. Instead you learn to keep quiet and try to deal with this secret that never seems to go away.

I have that same issue. I am constantly having suicidal thoughts. And no one knows it but a few. I don’t want to live to be that old myself. I don’t think I would do it though. I can understand the feeling completely. Sometimes it boils down to the root of why you feel the way you do. The Best thing to do, I imagine is to talk to someone. Don’t be afraid of letting someone know how you feel, (family, friends, therapist, etc.) Someone out there will understand and be able to help you to the best of their ability. Just stay strong and if you feel like you are going to attempt suicide, call a hotline or family or something. Some people just find the idea of suicide interesting. I know I do, but it doesn’t stop me from feeling sorrowful. Just hold your head high.
Thank you for your kind reply. It’s nice to know that there is someone who understands.
