I’ve never felt this lost before… I used to be very happy and relaxed, everything would always workout the way I wanted to but now I grew up and I just feel disgusted with myself and everyone around me, I feel lonely. I want to die now, and I know it isn’t right to take away your own life when there’s so many people fighting for their lives but I don’t know what else to do… I keep giving me my friend hints and in my mind is so obvious but he doesn’t get it because he’s not getting me help. I feel like all hope is lost sometimes.

People are too wrapped up in their own issues. When I’m depressed I forget that other people i.e. my family, friends, strangers on the street they have a life they are struggling to deal with. The help they can offer is not always “good enough” in our eyes.
I know how you feel. I’ve felt it, I’ll soon feel it again, too. I’m not sure what helps and what doesn’t help; do you know what will help you? Or, what do you wish those people will do for you?
I guess I just want someone to really show they care and that they’re there to support me and that I’m not alone… I haven’t found that, and I’m slowly giving up.
What I am going to say may come off as mean but please don’t take offense to my words….
Your friend isn’t responsible or obligated to get you help if you don’t tell him anything. Giving him hints isn’t the same as telling him you need help. You have the power to get help by simply telling someone “I need help”. If you don’t then how can anybody be of help to you?
Another thing you need to realize is that life doesn’t work out for anybody the way they want it to not 100% of the time it doesn’t. For some people the percentage that it does go the way you want it to go is higher than others but never does it always go the way you want it to go.
“it isn’t right to take away your own life” no offense but I hate phrases like these….who are you taking your life from? yourself? ….you cannot take your own life from yourself its not possible. You can give up your life but you can’t take it from yourself. That’s like taking your own dog from yourself or your own car….you can’t do it because its yours it belongs to you….I’m by no means encouraging you to commit suicide or anything but I just want you to realize that your life is yours and you don’t owe it anybody (except kids if you have them) to live if you don’t want to.
If you want someone to show that they care give them the chance…Tell them you need them and need help and see what they do. I’m not guaranteeing they will be there for you but at least if they aren’t you tried and you saw that they didn’t care. If they don’t know you are suffering how can they be expected to help? Hints may not always be picked up on and it isn’t intentional that they don’t pick up on them its just some people aren’t aware of them.
Don’t give up until you’ve tried to get better. Coming from me it probably doesn’t hold much weight because I’ve already set a date to die but I can honestly say I tried to get better and get help but It didn’t work and things got worse. I also realize that nobody situation is like mine so I encourage people to at least try several options before deciding to kill themselves because it isn’t a decision you can take back. Once you throw in the towel that’s it
