I see so many people on here that have the same thoughts and same feelings as i do. It’s funny i feel so completely alone, like nobody can understand my feelings of depression….. Nobody can understand the push in my mind to end my life. The hole i feel in my soul… Then I come on here and I see all of you having the same thoughts and feelings. I honestly dont know if it makes me feel better or if it makes me think things will never get better. I have had an exit plan for years but i dont do it for my family……… But lately im not so sure how much longer I can hold on…… I’m trying soooo hard not to kill myself…. My adult children would have to deal with my suicide…… One of them already deals with depression (im sure I passed it on to her) My husband would have to deal with it…….. He is a really good man and deserves so much better than this….. I hate this place. I am not getting any better…. It has been so many years of holding on. FUCK what do i do…. I want it all to stop. I want to feel better but I know I wont. It always comes back and this time i dont know if I can fight anymore.

I don’t know what to answer, you are so right, so many of us, and yet we are alone. Maybe because we don’t represent a big percentage of the population. And so many people are so mean, and I will never understand that.
I tried to commit suicide several times, last time more than 10 years ago. The first time I thought about suicide, I was about 7 years old. I still think about my death, but I no longer really want to commit suicide, because, anyway, the only thing that I am sure about is that I am going to die anyway one day or another, and time flies 🙂
I also have read a lot about people who had Near Death Experiences, including several doctors (for example Raymond Moody and Eben Alexander), and some people who had commited suicide. It is clear that there is something beyond, but suicide seems to be a bad way to go there, every single testimony I have read about people who had nearly died and came back after a suicide attempt were very negative, and they were not particularly religious people.
My parents would have been totally devastated if I had commited suicide. I have 3 brothers, but we are not very close. I am the youngest, my parents are getting old, I will try to take care of them if they need, as nobody else will do. When they die, I will have no family, apart from my brothers, who have been mean to me all my life. I am 34, when I have nobody I will go and travel the world, it will be dangerous but who cares ?
Sorry I only talk about myself, but I hope maybe my experience can help you somehow.
PS: I am french, sorry if there are mistakes.
That is another thing that has stopped me in the past. I do believe in something after this life, And who knows if it will be better or worse. And I may be stuck there forever.
It’s interesting isn’t it? How we all think we are all unique. We aren’t though. Genetics can tell us a lot of how we act, think, and feel. It blows my mind to think that at some point in time someone has been in the exact same situation as you and I at any given point in our lives. We are all the same deep deep down, we only have very small differences between eachother. We are all the same mindless animals who stumbled upon fire and shoes one day. Nothing special. We only think we are the best because it makes us feel better. Same reason we lie to ourselves in saying that we matter. Good luck to you.
Thank you. Good luck to you too.
“I want to feel better but i know i won’t” <- That's not entirely true. Sure, things seem to always go the wrong way even with the best of our efforts (otherwise a place like this wouldn't exist) but it doesn't always have to be like that (or continue to be like that). That said, yup, i agree that sometimes it feels like no one can understand what we face, but actually they can. Like GoodLuck2UAll says above we're not all that different, but facing things on our own perspective makes it feel like we're all alone against something no one else could understand like we do. Not that it helps make it easier in anyway, but people that actually care can understand, just like you care about your family.
Not that it fixes something (and i guess that you've done it already), but have you explored ways to make your situation better? (other than ending your life). Sometimes things change over time, and so do our chances and possibilities. What we might have discarded in the past might work know, or new chances might have appeared, you never know. A long shot, i know, but it's better to exhaust all options before taking the one choice that we'll never be able to take back.
I actually have looked into things to try and make it better. I have tried mediation counseling and so on…. I have noticed i feel like this for a few days or weeks at a time then it gets better for a while but it always comes back to this feeling.
IDK if I had the manic episodes I would think it was bi polar but I dont have the highs they do… But the fact that it comes and goes makes me wonder.
Right now im in an ok spot (not wanting to die) But i know in a while it will be back. Im just so tired of living this way.
Thank you for your reply it is appreciated.
And like i said….. It is now back. I know it will never go away. Fuck
