How old are you? If you are a youngster, you could talk to your school counselor, and you can also check this link:

http://www/metanoia.org/suicide/

or call 1-800-SUICIDE

Realize you are not alone, others feel this way too.

If you are an adult, you can do the same, minus calling on the school counselor.

No one ever wants to end up angry or mad or sad, either. Dealing with it for a bit is a normal thing, but do you feel your dealing with it more than normal?

Best,

Clyde

Hi Ichigo,

The link that Clyde gave to you is a good one. Please check it out.

I've dealt with sadness, anger and emotional pain since I was an early teen. Later, when a young adult, they diagnosed it a depression. I, too, thought of suicide a lot. Mostly, it was because I didn't know how to handle the pain and just wanted it to stop. After I got some help from counselors, I learned some ways of making the pain not hurt so much. Suicide started sounding like an extreme idea and not so much a solution anymore.

Please take a look at the metatonia website and also, talk to someone who can give you some "tools" that will give you other ways to help with these feelings.

Take care.

I would like to know if you're getting any help for your sadness. If you're not, then please visit your doctor -you may need medication and therapy. I would also like to toss around the idea, that everyone(some more than others) experience times when they're sad, angry with emotional pain and that it's okay to feel that way sometimes! Not many people go through life without being bumped around. As humans we're always disturbed by emotional pain and want to find immediate solutions - this discontent makes the situation worse. I'm not saying people should wallow and have a pity party - what I'm saying is, it's okay to feel sad(to a point) and accept the pain, thereby you end up dealing and finding closure. If you're always runnig away from the pain then you're never actually dealing with it.

I think you should get into therapy and also you need to learn coping skills like Thumblelina said. On the metanoia website it will talk about suicide and compare it to a scale - where the pain is on one side and coping skills on the other. Right now your coping skill is escape by suicide - not a solution. Another important thing they mention is to WAIT - never feel you need to act on those feelings -they will go away!! But it's very important for you to learn new powerful coping mechanisms - this will be your army defense against those suicidal thoughts.

I would also highly recommend starting a regular exercise program - it's fantastic for depression. Also I find personally that I have grown stronger even though bad events have happend to me. People usually don't GROW spiritually during happy times, they grow through bad times. It's also good to take notice of the good things in your life - what are you grateful for??I hope you can once and for all banish those thoughts. All the best Bella. :)

You know what, Ichigo? You've already done the hardest part, even online. You called out for help. So my guess is your will to live is strong. Hold onto that. Clyde asked perhaps the key question: how old are you? The reason is that if you are a teenager in particular, as well as at other turning points in your life, the most natural thing in the world is to be depressed often. What we later call the best years of our lives we would never dream of repeating if we knew what it meant, unless we could magically take along all that we've learned in the years since. But then we wouldn't be kids again! However, even if you are, say, an adolescent or a man having a mid-life crisis, it's important to seek counseling, as others suggested. And talk to friends, or at least one. And if I just pressed a button because you don't think you have any friends, I'm sure you're wrong, but talk to a counselor anyway. By the way, there are three so-called types of suicide: gestures, where you deliberately do it wrong to get attention; attempts, where you indeed go for it but botch the deal, thank God; and the real thing. The end. That's what it is, not a solution but an end. I think you're smart enough to work out a solution to these problems even if you're lousy at the subject. JUST GET A TUTOR! And if you're a kid, try to avoid the heavy drugs some doctors like to get kickbacks from, especially benzodiazopines.
