When someone starts to think suicidle thoughts thats the point I beleive you must get professional help before it gets much worse. Go to the doctor or hospital as soon as possiable and get a therapist, let people know how your feeling so they can keep an eye on you all the time too.

Dont kill yourself.

just hey your going through a rough time,

i say maybe find a intrest in gameing.

runescape, Habbo, xbox live, World of Warcraft.

just lose yourself, your mind will be thinking about that.

after a bit quit.

see how you feel.

make new friends.

[BlueEyedSarah]

Gaming is good and fun for sure - but the best thing to do when depressed is to go out and be with people, sitting alone at home playing a game I don't think will help him a whole lot.

therapy is another way to go :eusa_whis

i do ply alot of games lik css but i cry everytyme i die :( makes me wana die

[Slowpoke]

Without sounding mean, suicide is the cowards way out and just a desperate cry for attention - I have no sympathy for people who commit suicide for no good reason and to be quite honest, you don't have one. Life gets hard for everyone at times but you've always got to look on the bright side. I have friends whos parents hit them and they don't let it known, they're still positive and happy. You need to have a serious think about yourself because sitting there making yourself upset and depressed is only going to make it worse. Be positive and happy, get out there and make new friends.

I seriously hope this thread isn't a joke.

[GhostFace-]

your seriously Messed up if you want to die if your pixel "dies"

all i can say is therapy.

have your mom take you to a 24/7 clinics.

[Slowpoke]

didnt have to be insulted at the same time

I didn't insult you - I gave my opinion. Suicide is, and always will be, in situations such as these, the cowards way out. People are suffering a lot worse than you and whilst I can sympathise that you're going through a rough patch at the moment you've got to pick yourself up and start doing things that make you happy!

Join a few clubs and/or after school clubs to make some new friends.

[Protege]

yeah obv its not that easy

[BlueEyedSarah]

Why is it not easy?

[Slowpoke]

yeah obv its not that easy

No-one said it would be easy but there's no point in asking for advice if you're not going to take any of it in and act on it.

[Protege]

ive got all the advice i can handle thanks now

I hope some of it got through to you and sorry if I've sounded harsh - It works a lot better than being soft and tends to get through more effectively. :)

Ok so you don't have many friends and your always upset. You shouldn't kill yourself. Try going to the libary and just sitting on the computer maybe you will meet a friend there who isn't that socialable. We're twins and we don't have many friends. We use to have like 5 but we fell out with them. We was upset and depressed, but we have each other to talk to. Don't kill yourself it's the cowards way out. Try talking to childline or your parents or brother/sister. Maybe they will understand you. Just keep your head up high and try hard to make friends. Even if you don't have many friends you don't need to kill yourself. Just consontrate on your grades, if you don't like talking stay quite and just go to the libary.

This might sound quite pathetic but if your wanting to kill yourself and don't have many friends. It's your only option to go to the libary or stand some where looking pathetic?

It's your choice

Hope this helps

I feel like that sometimes :(
you just need to get out,
maybe meet up with friends or something get away from your parents, they can't be mean if you're not there.
and with the school thing, be calm about it, stress causes grades to drop sometimes.

For you, maybe but everyone is different and we are dealing with people on this forum not pixels. We are not doctors or psychiatrists either.

My advice would be to talk this through with somebody close who you trust.

This wesbite seems good for information too:

Hope you start feeling better soon.

Ok guys, I know you mean well, but the kind of "straight talk" advice that you can say to peole who are wondering whether to ask people out or not doesn't work on someone who's feeling suicidal. His reaction illustrates this pretty clearly, "I've had all the advice I can handle." You have to be empathetic in your replies or it'll just be seen as you trying to look higher than him which will make him feel worse: its counter-productive. I'm not trying to be patronising, I'm speaking from first hand experience, I managed to lose a couple of friends by snapping at them when they were trying to help me. I'm not aiming this at everyone in the thread, but it certainly applies to all situations like this.

To DriftPanzy: I completely know what you mean, your story is pretty much word-for-word what I've been through. Its probably not what you want to hear, but there isn't a straightforward solution to the problem. The number 1 piece of advice I would give is to talk to as many people as you can, and I'd suggest females as they generally are easier to talk to and are more empathetic. Also, speaking to someone with first hand experience can really help you because they know exactly how you're feeling and can tell you what they did to help themsleves. On that front, PM me if you want my email and you can talk to me if you like :)

Your life really isn't that bad...

[Crimson]

Erm, okay. The whole 'Maybe I should just kill myself' - don't be stupid, or seek attention. That's a waste of time, not only for you.

I'm assuming, since you're still at school, you're a teenager 13-17.. I'm guessing?
Well, alot of people hit a depression around that age. Some people are affected more than others. I'm only 14.. but last year I struck a major low. I barely talked to anyone, including my family. I would literally think to myself; "I'm a failure, I hate my life. Why am I here?" - So for starters, get rid of the thought of killing yourself. That would be selfish, as your friends and family who love you would be rather uspet.

Well, anyway. The best thing to do, which I know sounds like a mum's saying, but is to go outside. Socialise as much as possible. Organise to meet your friends - just do whatever.

I don't think it's a major thing, like I said alot of teenagers enter a slight depression at some point. I know it sounds horrible, but you should wait it out. But take it at your own pace, and if you really need help about family life - talk to someone at school. Most schools have a chancellor or someone like that.

Not that easy.

its good telling your problem to us. it's a rough patch in your life. Just look on the bright side, for example; i look foreward to the summer because i can do whatever i want with no commitments and no school ever again. Also you should explain how you feel to your best mate, because he/she knows you a great deal more than us. Suicide is the easy way out tbh, not only that but i'ts selfish.

Have Positivity,

Ed.

yeh?

Its a shame the "emo" culture has attached that stigma to depression. Its attention seeking for people who are NOT depressed to say things like that, but judging from his post and personal experience he would be diagnosed with clinical depression if he went to a doctor, and the chance he believes that is very real. You shouldn't be so quick to dismiss things :)

To Ed: It isn't easy, but its definately a positive and effective course of action to take, I'd recommend it. A professional knows far more than we do :)

I guess I did dismiss that, my apologies.
