I was thinking of ending my life for couple of months now but I can't do it..
Why? because I am so tired living alone and all the problems that came into my life.
It seems that I cannot handle it anymore. Sometimes I would think that ending my life would also end my problems and i dont have to think anymore on how to resolve it.I'm getting older but why I not contented of what I have at the moment? How about you, are you also thinking the same way as I do?

I am alone as well but I am very independent and quite like being in control of my life...being in control of the gift that has been given to you is another way of looking at it...when I start feeling sad about being alone, I go visit some friends who are married and I always come home feeling grateful I am not married..sometimes the grass looks greener on the other side and no way of life is absolutely perfect and you never know what is around the corner for you....appreciate the life you have because life is so short you might as well enjoy it...take care my friend....we are alone really in some way.

Why would you do that when you have the things some people would die for just to have them? Like a job, a beautiful face, brain and so on. Have you ever wondered why these people are still alive? Because they've make do with what God has given them and you taking your life away would be such a waste. If you have problems, just face them whether you'll fail or not. That's how it goes. Don't stop until you have your last breath. I'm curious though, what part of life that you are not contented with? I'm a lot more like a loser than you are right now but here i am just laughing about life.

Sometimes it feels like an easy way out but if you wait a couple days - your mood will change.
Find something comforting that makes you feel good, like listening to music (but only upbeat songs, not anything that's sad and would make you feel melancholy), and take time to relax.
If it doesn't get better, please call one of those anonymous help lines if there's one in your area or speak to someone trustworthy about your situation.

It is sad that you feel this way about your life. You are young and beautiful and have so much ahead of you to experience. I think we have all had those moments when things felt overwhelming but ya know what.....they don't stay bad. There are always good moments and bad...it's life. It sounds like you need to make some changes in your life. If you feel this way all the time, you should talk maybe to a doctor or someone who can help you. I hope things start looking up for you real soon!

why? is your life really that bad? have you ever thought that there are people out there that is in a much worse situation than you are right now? those people who do not have anything to eat and still has to find ways to be able to eat? or with those sick people having cancer striving to live and yet here you are wanting to end you life? life is precious, you think your family do not care for you? have you tried confronting them? telling them what you feel? reaching out to them , do not wait for them to reach out to you, reach out to them and there will be a difference...there is always someone we can turn to or talk to..and that is God...i do not know if you believe in Him or have faith in Him, but i found Him when i was in the dark before..and believe me He is there..do not end life, it is too precious to waste, maybe it is just a matter of how you will live it.

but given that negative reactions from them why not turn it around? there are still so many people here on earth that would love to be your friend and know you and be part of your life, do not waste it, you did not do something wrong...find friends that would accept you. hope you will be able to sort it out

Hi
I have been there before too, when i lost my mum to cancer i didnt see a way forward, i started to self-harm for a while.
Self-harming is a serious problem if you cannot control it, i got over doing this when i had my first child.
Nothing is worth ending your life for!! you never know what is round the corner and your life could change within a few hours.
If you need someone to talk to on this you can email me anytime or talk with me on MSN. Reply to this message if you want my email address. Friends are a good thing to have at times like this.

Your main purpose at this time is to find your path/way.
You see the journey we do is not about the goal it is about the experiences we have on our way.
You have to be true to yourself and then you will see much of the emptiness and loneliness will go away.
Because you are always loved by the Creation and there are always advice if you listen to yourself.
Take good care of yourself.

Hi ccarabuena,
I feel you are just lonely. Well, wind up a little. Don't think of the smiling able people who are boasting around. Think of it this way, there are many disable people who are dependent on others and those who are not but they try their best to live life as it comes. We are all alone in one time or the other but we need to be strong. There is a reason why these things are happening. I know you will not do it because you love yourself. Live life as it comes, cry if you must ... but don't end it. If you need a friend ... I am here and everyone in mylot is here. Have a great day! &(^_^)&

No friend, I was never thinking about ending my life. Just think, if you end it then there would be no more challenges, no more opportunities. You will never get to see what might have been. I don't care if I was dirty poor and broke as a joke I would never consider ending my life. Money isn't everything and friends well let's just say that they come and they go. But it's the good ones that try to stick around. If you ever feel so bad, that you think you might want to end ur life, you need to seek out professional help. And remember that life is only as good or as bad as we think it is. Good luck and happy mylotting.

I think that you need to seek some help. Seriously, you may be clinically depressed. Medication and counseling could help these feelings you have go away. Talk to your doctor, best friend, or even a pastor, but please talk to someone and get some help.

I think one time or another in everyones life, we think of taking our life. But its the most selfish thing that we can ever do. The thing I think of when I feel the way you felt is what I would be doing to my family. I can't always think about how I feel... If I were to take my life, I will pretty much be taking the life of my mother, father, and sisters. They will be crushed and there is just no way I can do that to them.
You should really seek out some counseling. I know you must feel bad inside, but trust me, killing yourself won't make things better. Only worse!
You are a young beautiful woman who has her whole life a head of her. Don't worry so much about living alone...You be living alone forever. And as for all the problems in your life....Hey, that's life. We all have problems. You have to work through these hard times just like everyone else. =)

I'm sorry to hear how hopeless you feel. I've battled depression my whole life, and what it comes down to is: Live your life for God, not yourself...when you stop thinking about "self" all the time, you are free.
I can tell you, even when you have a spouse or boyfriend that you have been with for a long time, if things are not going well, you can feel completely alone even if your in the same room together.
God is there ALL the time
God bless you, and please do not take your life; I'll say a prayer for you
