| I was suicidal too in high school, I remember calling my grandmother so she could talk me out of it. She loved me unconditionally and her words made me feel better. However, that didn't cure me of the depression, I learned to talk to another...God and Christ our lord. At first it seemed really weird to talk out loud to someone I couldn't see and wasn't sure even existed but after a few days of talking all day every day out loud or just in my head I unloaded all my worries, fears, negative feelings and asked forgiveness for the sins in my life and asked for his help. I was saved from the wretched life I was living and his blessings began to pour out upon me, I even witnessed five miracles. Just turn to our Lord, start by just talking to him, as much as you can out loud, in your head, even if you don't believe, ask him to help you believe. But just continue every day, you will see a major change. God bless you and know that people that don't even know you love you and are praying for u. | 1222011 | ||||||

| If you're still here, you definitely need to see someone to get all these feelings out. If you can't talk to anyone about it, it will only get worse. Sometimes, talking to someone who's only job is to help you, and not judge you, is the best thing. Don't go through this alone. Also, sometimes helping others is a way to step away from your problems, and it usually puts things into perspective. You have a place in this world! Keep trying and move forward! | 1232011 | ||||||

| Hey Madison, don't feel bad. I've felt like you a couple days ago. The most important thing is to not lose faith in yourself. If there is anyone one you could talk to, do that. You might be looking for friends, not sympathy, but I say that people have to get to know you to be friends, and sympathy might be a start. Also, look around, there might be people feeling just like you, hiding their pain just like you. In my case, I think I was blinded with my ego and choices. I wanted to be with popular people or fun people, but never realized, until recently, that other loners like me exist and when you start being friends with them, they can be fun too! School is just a phase of life, college is better and real world even better. Stay strong, and believe in yourself because if you can't believe in yourself, who will? Remember, there is always hope and things will always change. Take Care -Anu | 1272011 | ||||||

| Go to a counselor now - you are suffering from depression - it doesn't have to be this way - you can be happy and have hope and ambition and a future. I suffered from depression for 18 years - from the age of 18 until i finally broke down and had to go to counseling and get on meds - after 4 years i am much improved - off the meds and have learned how to manage my depression - it is a constant battle - but you can learn ways to deal with the causes and the meds really help get you on track -a good counselor will help you develop ways to cope with life. I wasted 18 years being depressed - do it - you have nothing to lose. It is not your fault - it is an illness. good luck. | 272011 | ||||||

| I too have the same issue. The main way I usually avoid suicide is only by trusting in two of my closest friends who are like sisters to me. What keeps me from the deed of just taking my life is not knowing what could have been. My depression is caused by this one guy who I fell deeply in love with. It has progressed and turned into "ink etches", where I carve words into my skin, either with a knife or simple pen. All I have to offer in advice is to find someone to talk to who understands your emotions. I am trying to give a hand to people like myself who suffer in a simular way. I am almost positive I could be of help. Mystictopaz336@aol.com - My email in case you feel the need to talk. From my experience even at age 15, talking it out works out the best in the end. Please, if you wish to talk, let me know. | 362011 | ||||||
