I dont know where to start.  I’ve been trying to deal with my depression for a long time now and no matter what i just cant be happy.  There are a lot of things that have happened to me and my family in the last few years that contribute to my depression.  Suicide is always something that crosses my mind everyday.  And i don’t know if i want to do it or not.
I guess i could start talking about my family and how they contribute to my demise.  First off theres my brother (i wont use his real name so he will be ‘mike’ for this” mike is a multiple felon who no matter what cant seem to get his act straight.  He has been in and out of correctional facilities for over a third of his life. This isnt what makes me depressed, in fact i dont give a damn about mike at all. He pisses me of with no end.  But its the things he does that effects the rest of my family which in turn effects me.  My grandparents get it the worst, and they are the only people in my immediate family that i actually care about anymore.  My grandmother deals with depression a lot because of Mike.  She also talks about suicide often, but she is doing a little better now.  But it kills me to see her so heart broken because of her grandchildren.  As if her heart needs anymore trouble. She has a heart murmur that threatens to end her life any day now.  And the chance that her cancer will come back. That scares the shit out of me. And she takes everything to heart when its about the family.  Her daughter (my so called mother) hasn’t even talked to her in over a year now because of the things my mother has done.  That is how mike effects me and my depression.
My other brother (i’ll call him Charles) Charles is a freeloader, and always has been.  Charles doesnt effect me too much other than the fact that he is a good brother to me and no matter what he does he keeps fucking his life up.  I want nothing but good for him, but i cant do anything about it, and that feeling of hopelessness is horrible.  His actions also effect my family in a few different ways. One reason is that he is a kleptomaniac, it doesnt matter who it is or for what reason, he will take whatever he wants.  Charles has personaly stolen over one thousand dollars from me alone in the past five years.  This bothers me but money isnt all that important to me.  I’m just worried that one of these times he is going to steal from the wrong person and get himself hurt.
Now there in my sister (she will be Nancy) Nancy is simply a *****. Â Though she has a daughter that is equal to an angel, she doesnt give a damn about anyone but herself. Nancy has brought depression to everyone in the family because of her choices in life. But again theres nothing i can do to help her. She is on her own. Â Another person to feel helpless about.
My parents (cuntface and fuckface) are another story in whole, so i will keep it short. Â They both worked together to destroy my family by causing a great deal of drama. Â I hate them both and wish for them to rot in hell forever for what they have done. Â But again hopeless.
Then there is the love of my life (i dont want to give her a different name) Shaneal. She is the only reason i dont kill myself. But then again, she may very well be the main reason why i want to. Â Its not her fault though, its mine. Â We were together for about 8 to 9 months, i was happier than ever. Â Then on the last month for reasons unknown to me, i chose to break up with her. Â not a month afterwards i finally realized what i had done, that i had lost my love. Â So i tried to commit suicide twice in one week. Â First i hung myself. Rope broke. The next attempt was drowning; which i have drowned over 6 times in my life. Â The reason i chose to drown myself is because the most peaceful moments of my life were the moments when i was drowning. Â But after i had taken that breath of water and my lungs were full, my friend had found me. Â I promised him that i would never do it again, and i havent yet. Â But its still one of my favorite options. Anyways getting a little off subject. Â Recently Shaneal and I have been talking and spending time with each other again. We are best friends all over again. We have even fooled around a few times. But she still just calls me her “friend”. Still, i am hopelessly in love with her. But i’m not sure if she feels the same way. Â Cant blame her though, i did break her heart. But all i want in life is her love.
What i’m trying to process is what i should do. Â Stay alive and try to get my family and my girl back? Or just end my suffering altogether…
If i cant have the happieness i once knew than i dont wish to be alive to stay miserable for the rest of my life.
Sorry for the long post, there is still more i could have written but i don’t want to take too much of your time. And don’t worry I haven’t recommit-ed myself to committing suicide just yet. Thank you for your time, and if you could give me some advise i’d be very appreciative.

Can i please say that my heart really goes out to your grandmother. Really. Just…my own heart broke listening about your grandmother. Your siblings need a reality check.
And you. YOU CANNOT COMMIT SUICIDE.
Dude there’s a girl that fucking needs you out there. When i think of suicide it doesn’t matter, i’m not leaving anyone but you…you have her. And trust me, i’m pretty sure she feels the same way because like you said, she’s still talking to you and spending time with you even after you broke up with her for no reason.
Do not lose her again. You have one thing to live for in this world and I say live for it. Live for it as long as you can and as much as you can. Don’t let the mistakes of your family dictate whether or not you lose the one good thing in your life.
I agree with winnie suicide is not the answer
Thank you winnie.thaw and nbarules16. It means a lot to know there are people out there, even if you don’t know me, that care about whats happening to me. I will try my absolute best to get her back and to be happy. But the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness still gets me. And the nightmares don’t help either. Again thank you both for your kind words.
@Jacob please. The one reason you should be hopeful should be that girl. Fight for her and fight for your life.
Nightmares are just nightmares. Fuck i have nightmares every night. That damn dream catcher does not help. When you wake up, they’re gone. They don’t mean anything. They’re not real. But Jacob, she’s real. okay, Shaneal is real.
I promise Winnie, i will fight my hardest. I’m really sorry to hear about how you might have to give up history. I don’t want to make things worse for you by asking why. But i would like to say this: History is a thing of the past right? but that’s just it, its in the past, and it will always be there. No matter what anyone else says or does to try and stop you from doing what you want most. Always know that history will still be there no matter what. You cant change the past.
@Jacob 🙂 We create our own histories. Thank you.
For those who have read my post. I have added a few more details about my grandmother and Shaneal. just to give a more in depth idea of whats going on. Probably doesn’t matter though.
have u ever tried sitting down and talking with Shaneal? about your relationship.
Yes but you see, we broke up about a year ago. And just a little over month ago she broke up with the guy she was dating for a few months. And we started talking to each other about a week or two before they split up. I told her i felt not even a week ago. But she said that now isn’t the time for her to think about getting back into another relationship. Which i can understand, and i am willing to give her time and wait for her to be ready. But there’s that thought that maybe she just wants to use me, have sex a few times, stay as friends, and then she go and find another man. its that thought exactly that makes my heart ache so.
If she wanted to play you and misuse you i know for sure she would have done it by now. She would have told you that she wanted to get back with you instead of saying that she wasn’t ready.
Yeah i agree. Give her some time.
And i want you to know that even if it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t mean that that’s the end. You sound like a caring guy and that’s the thing that’s going to count with any girl you end up with.
You are right. I am a caring guy. but that is my problem. I have been in several relationships and she is the only one i truly can say that i loved. I’ve been cheated on, lied to, hurt and abused by a few of my past girlfriends. And i’m tired of it. If this one, The one, doesn’t want me. then that really is it. I don’t have the energy to try again with a new girl. all i want is her. But don’t worry i have made a decision. I wont off myself until my grandparents are already dead. Because if i do commit suicide while they are alive i know it will kill them both. So there is still time..
@JacobB90 , there is one thing i will never ever understand: how can people cheat on each other? Seriously. It’s something i never could fucking understand no matter what. It doesn’t make sense in movies, it doesn’t make sense in books, it doesn’t make sense in songs, it for sure does not make sense outside. Someone needs to explain that to me.
And i know exactly how that feels like: to not want to try anymore. (I posted this new thing about how i cut off a guy if you want to read about it, it talks about that one person who ruined it for me) But because of him, because of that one person i don’t have the energy to try anymore. I’m so tired. You know, because of him i can’t even hold hands anymore. My parents try to hold my hand i pull it away. It just feels so wrong now. And because of him, i’ve given up on relationships and all of that. It just doesn’t mean anything to me anymore.
Yeah, don’t off yourself because your grandparents need you. You’re the one person who cares about them. I’m sure your grandmother thrives on her grandson’s love 🙂 If you can’t live for Shaneal, live for them.
I’ll still be alive for a few more years at least. Doesn’t mean i wont be dead inside though. I’ve got everything planned out already for when it happens.
I don’t understand either how people can cheat. The first girlfriend that i had that cheated on me laughed about it. Said it was fun to watch me be so hurt about something “so meaningless” as her cheating on me with another man. She had no heart. And i believe that people who cheat have no conscience or heart, and find it amusing to do something so cruel.
That ***** should rot in hell.
And you know what else I don’t understand while I’m in tears? I don’t understand how people UNLIKE ME can easily get the person they like and be with them but not value it. If i got to be with the guy i wanted to be with, no matter who, I would treat him like he’s my world. I would respect him and be there for him and love him.
Seriously what the hell is wrong with people. ESPECIALLY IF THEY CAN LAUGH ABOUT IT LATER. That’s literally heartless. I’m Buddhist and i believe in Karma: What comes around goes around. Same thing’s going to happen to her and she’ll learn.
Yeah i too think she should rot in hell. But she is going to anyways, so i don’t have to worry about that really. Its all in the past.
You and i share the same views oh how a relationship should work. Too bad some other people don’t.
Its weird. My first post on this site and its on the top three posts of the day…should i be happy or sad about this lol
