Why do I feel as if life isn't worth living anymore, why can't I just commit suicide?


See this is what I do not understand, I am evenutally going to die someday why can't I just end it now. Life is not worth living to me, no I am not depressed I just have dealt with reality way to many times and I feel as if its not worth it in the long run. I have nothing that I want to live for, there is nothing that rewarding in life, yeah I used to always hear and I still belive "things will get better" but I honeslty don't think they will what's to get better like I just don't want to live anymore its not worth it to me, I always take the extra step for everyone and do so much and contribute do much to society, but yet I never recive in return... but I honeslty do not care. I don't know anymore, I just don't I am a month behind in school... I keep going through the same things every year nothing can ever be nice in my life, I have dealt with more things being 16 than the average person will go through there whole life yes it has created who I am today, making me strong but...

I have dealt with physcial, mental, emotional abuse, abuse from guys, physical problems, some of the norm such as teenage acne and a little weight issues, some of the extreme as a congential deformity of my breats which was really hard [ I had plastic surgry to fix it] I have been thrown into mental hospitals, tried comiting suicide, I dunno I've just been through a lot and things just keep getting messed up never get better... it sucks because no one deserevs to go through what I had to deal with espically me I am such a nice kind loving person, I have such good qualties within myself I'm a 4.0 student, but im letting myself go I don't know anymore... I guess im just venting out a little?

it's all apart of growing up, these feelings you are having,and some people over come reality by fooling them selves into beleiving that the feelings they are having will go away and life will get better..but it don't.
Life is what you make it..it's not going to get better for you by its self.
these feelings you are having will remain in you as long as you want them to.
your strength is your beauty,your soul and the person you are and will become to be.
from what you have written, you are beautiful.
don't waste that beautiful you, you are on a road well ahead of 80 percent of young people your age. which means that the road to your happiness and understanding is just around the corner..but you can't just wait for it.as it's waiting for you..be patient, but go after it.
don't give up now,someone out there needs you,maybe all of us.
"Hang in there" the sun shines bright,feel the warmth on your face and live...you will be glad you did..I promise..I know..I've been there several times.Theres a reason for everything in your life,every feeling,every thought,every pain and every glorious moment of happiness..give life a chance,you'll be glad you did,so will I.

p.s. i'm always here for u if you want to talk

Because deep down you know that life is worth living. I have had suicidal thoughts for years, especially when my migraines are extreme, but I just breath through it and when time passes the thoughts of suicide are distant. They return, but they don't rule my life. They shouldn't rule yours. Just put the bad feelings into perspective: They are a low point. They pass.

Don't do anything you'll regret...By the way, venting is a good thing..just let it all out and you should feel a bit better..if you ever wanna talk to someone just gimme a shout, I'm here for you if ya need me :)

Your life isn't yours to take.
I understand pain quite well and I'm sorry to hear about what you're dealing with.
Hang in there.

i hope you do not kill yourself. regardless of how hard things are, you are an important person to somebody. more importantly, you should be important to yourself. you are 16 years old and you have a lot of life ahead of you, both good and bad parts. you don't want to miss out on them. things will not get better until you make them better. join a team, take up an instrument, join a book club. do something that will get you out of the house and allow you to meet people with similar interests.

life sucks sometimes, but please don't end yours. you're better than that. you're worth so much more.

there are more people out there that care about you than you think. For example, Jesus. Go to church. Get your life together. Find a support group. God bless.

You're 16. When you're 16, it seems like things will never change, but your feelings when you are 24 will be so different.

Talk to someone from a crisis phone line, get into therapy, find the little things you enjoy (chocolate, jumping in puddles, crime fiction, reality TV, whatever).

because self preservation is a quality that you possess


reasons why not to commit suicide

1. sex
2. chocolate ice cream
3. playstation 3
4.
5.
6.
....
you go ahead and fill in the blanks

suicide is a horrible thing to do because think of the family and friends your leaving behind. i will porbaly be a lil sad too:(

The answer is this. You are here for a reason. You have something to contribute to the world. and even though things may look bad now, when you are at rock bottom the only place left to go is up. Which means, if things are not looking too well around you, it can do nothing but improve.

I am having issues myself right now. My father who has been dead 3 times already <long story there> is now in toxic shock, and he is getting better, but it will be a long and difficult road. When he got sick, our priorities changed. He used to be our rock, now we are his. One day you will be somebody else's rock, and if you aren't there for them, who knows what will happen.

you have to make yourself into who you want to be, don't let others make you into someone that you are not. Easier said than done in some cases, but it is ALWAYS worth the effort.

When you think back on your life, what were your priorities at different and points and what were your major problems? If they are minor now, they were minor then, even though they didn't seem like it at that time.

I too have been physically and mentally abused, and yes, there is another side to humanity.

Who you are as a person is more important than how you look. Many of your problems you will probably outgrow <the acne> and others, well as you grow and mature, your peers will too and they will become mature as you seem to be.

Time heals everything is not accurate, but it does help to enter into new stages of your life. your life is what YOU make of it. Think about what kind of person you would like your child to be, and then imagine yourself as that child, what would you do to help him/her along to those goals?

Hope this helps

Perhaps you have what is known as 'dysthymia' (pronounced 'dis Time eah'), a chronic 'low level' depression. Counseling from a licensed therapist and/or antidepressant medication can really help a person to become much more happy and functional on a daily basis. What helps me to feel fulfilled is volunteering. After you get your depression more under control, perhaps you can consider a volunteer job: http://www.volunteermatch.org and type one's zip code and area(s) of interest.

Your family will be so sad and upset if you end your life which may also be why your body is telling you Not to end your life. If feeling suicidal, perhaps clinical depression is a factor. Since you are behind in school, perhaps you can talk with your guidance counselor about it as to what can be done since it's due to your current difficulties. Perhaps you can get tested by the child study team at your school and find out about getting some academic support or even some remedial classes until getting a better handle on things.

If feeling like hurting oneself or others: 1-800-SUICIDE

You have really been through a lot and I seriously commend you for being so strong and seeking help on here.

I've been through a lot also - I was infected with HIV after being raped and I thought a lot of the stuff that is going through your mind. I thought my life wasn't worth living and that no one would want a piece of **** like myself. Boy was I wrong. I met an amazing man and he treats me so damn well and looks past the HIV. We're now married and we have a child (she and my husband are both negative). What if I committed suicide those years ago? I wouldn't have experienced all that I'm experiencing with my 2 beautiful people in my life.

Trust me, I've seen a lot of ****. I was sexually assaulted by my brother from around the age of 8 up until I was 12. I've never had anything to do with my birth father and growing up, I felt like I had no one. I was chubby, I didn't wear the right clothes, etc etc.

When I hear about people committing suicide, I think of the thousands of people out there that have cancer or life threatening illnesses.. I think about how they would do anything for another day with their family. I wonder what their families are feeling.... These people are struggling for life while there's people out there that easily give up their lives - for what? They're wasting their lives.

Surround yourself with positive people. You need to do something for yourself... I would definitely suggest talking with a psychiatrist and letting your feelings out. Trust me hon, it would make the world of difference.

Please be strong. If you ever need to chat, drop me a line..
