Hello everyone. I don’t understand my depression and often times I want to kill myself for being so goddamn fucking stupid and putting my boyfriend through hell. Me and my brother both have clinical depression. This isn’t something that can be fixed with just “positive thinking”. We need our anti-depressents. I hate to say the most cliche thing any depressed person could ever say but I really have always been a lonely person who never could hold a friendship. Kids wouldn’t tease me,They would belittle me. This isn’t what has made me depressed but this has shaped my lack of social skills. This world and almost all the people in this world scare me. I feel like I’m not going anywhere, I have no interests or skills that are applyable for a career. I don’t know how I managed to get my wonderful boyfriend but school for him is stressful and my depression doesn’t make it better. I’m trying so hard not to be but all I feel at the end of the day is that killing myself is my only option. I love him dearly. we have a “group” i guess you could say of “friends”. I’m afraid to talk to any of them one on one because I feel like I will annoy them. I was always called annoying in my childhood. especially from my mother. She would often yell ” fuck off you are so annoying you stupid ****” and still to this day does. My dad has quite the temper and refuses to reason or listen once his fuse goes off. I never got the support or help needed when I was younger from all the bullying. my mom would say its my fault and my dad wouldn’t do shit ! the only reason they stopped was because one girl found out I was gunna kill myself and then everyone knew. I feel no purpose. I hate how fucking selfish I am to feel the need to kill myself . My depression isnt justifiable. I KNOW THAT . I know there are people who have it far worse out there which makes my depression feel even worse cuz boo hoo so what if Im lonely and my parents dont care. some people are starving. what should I do with myself ?

Hi,
I want you to know that you are not alone. I thought I was the only one who felt like you did but when you read the many posts on here you realise that suicidal feelings are quite common. I have suffered from depression since I was 11. It hasn’t always been unbearable to cope with, but recently i was finding it hard to cope and decided the only way out was to end my life. I left my job of 7 years, gave most of my stuff away and researched a way to do it. Like yourself, i felt huge feelings of selfishness and was trying to justify it to myself. In short, I desperatly didn’t want to hurt my family with my desperate act. The night before my final day i prayed to god and asked if there was any other way? Let me get one thing straight, personally i think that organised religion is bullshit, but still i believe there must be a higher power. Maybe just because i’m weak? That night I had a dream about my twin brother. I woke up knowing i simply couldn’t kill myself as it woul destroy my family. In that case i had to go on. I have tried since then to look at how i can change my life. Change is what we need. I got a new job and now feel a thousand times better. I can now see a future and a change has materialised in me. What i’m saying to you is that suicide is final. The mind lies to you and tells you it is absolutely hopless. Believe me, i know that as that’s how i’ve felt for the past month. If you are living at home i understand it must be hard. I have my independence which i’m grateful for. My advice to you is to write an honest letter of how you feel to your doctor. He might send you to a counsellor. You need to unburden yourself of your problems and seek another persons point of view. What have you got to lose? If you continue this game of life you will be stronger than most of the people around you. You can only grow while overcoming these huge struggles. With regards to your parents, I wa angry with mine until i reached my 30s and i realised that they were just like me, we all make mistakes and say things we don’t mean and half the time we don’t realise we are hurting eachother. No parents are perfect and one day you will have a place of your own and will decide if you want them to remain a part of your life. They are just human. I hope you take immediate action and start getting help to change your life. Please don’t end your life. I’m sure you have a lot to live for.
same here.
First let me just say HUGS to you.
I am sorry you feel so alone. I do.
But, I have to correct you on something. You are NOT selfish for feeeling so depressed. It is not your fault. You (like me) have a disease.
The battle really sucks. But you are NOT alone and others here would love to have you lean on us.
I need to lean on others, you can certainly lean on me. And together we can beat this. We ALL need each other to encourage and support.
I hope you will choose to talk more.
