Suicide? Lack of hope! Help

I don't know if it's just the long dark nights, and short days, but recently I feel I've lost all hope in going forward. The news is just full of religious killing, Christian against Islam, Muslim agaimst Muslim, Judaism and Islam - is this really Gods work? The crime and murders are all too commonplace. Celebrities are talentless nobodys with no skills, who swear and spread ignorance, but get all the media and public attention, whilst hard work and a good life bring few rewards. Music, which used to help my moods, is bland or devisive.
There seems no hope left in my life, and I'm finding it harder every day to just get out of bed, and when I do, it all seems pointless, unending and depressing. Is suicide the only way to stop the pain?

Ignorance and poverty can be a dangerous thing when hijacked by the wrong people.

I really don't have the foggiest idea what your response has to do with the question, however you needn't worry, I don't think anyone is going to try and steal your ignorance!

Hello buddy. Do you think you might have seasonal depression? I noticed that you mentioned the weather, and apparently it's quite common in the UK, affecting about half a million people. There are these light bulbs, you can get them off ebay and they're called 'SAD lights' (Seasonal affected dissorder). I have some in my house, basically they're really bright lights that simulate natural daylight, I think they work quitwe well.
(I'm not a salesman for SAD lights I promise lol)
I too get fed up with all these things, these last few years seem to be all about doom and gloom, and celebrities are worshipped as false idols. But think of the good things - Paris Hilton is getting (or has been?) locked up! :)

I hadn't heard of these lights, and think they sound great. Perhaps you set up a website selling them, coz you've sold me on the idea. They should pay you some commission! LOL.
If Pete Doherty gets prison for his latest 3 monthly crime spree, I'll start believing in miracles again.
Thanks for a kind response, and some great practical advice.
All the best, my friend.

Haha too right mate, lock all of that 'celebrity' waster lot up and we'll all be laughing again.
Lol I thought about selling them actually, because I think they are fairly unknown in the UK, and they are energy saving so I predicted a boom. It hasn't happened yet though, so glad I didn't buy too many.

According to the Bible, this is how things are supposed to get in this world as the "end" draws nearer. Just trust in the Lord and look to Him for guidance and strength. When all else fails, you can still pray. And I do agree with you about celebs today. I am disgusted by what I see when I watch celebrity news. What a joke!

Sorry that you are in such a whirl wind of troubles. It is very tough out there especially when you dwell on it. Dont keep it in the front of your thoughts, push it out get it out of your mind frame. Start by not looking outside of your life, all the other crap that is outside your box is not important.
Make it a point to look only at the positives in your life.

I think it's time to visit a doctor and tell him/her how you are feeling. It's easy to get oppressed by the events of the world today. You most likely have a lower level of serotonin than the average person and may need some medication to balance it out. Good luck and hang in there!

i think getting depressed and looking for sucide is no solution....one must be optimistic about life and try to win it...only then we can make our life happy and cheerful...

I believe god is one and there must be no differentiation between religions, we must unite together and work for the improvement of human society and world, but people are not realizing it. Every religion preaches only love. But sucide is not the solution. I believe people will realize in one day or another the god is one and there is only one religion

Life is beautiful and beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. we always have to remember these lines. its so simple to kill urself and free urself of all the troubles but the courageous thing to do is to live and to survice and face the obstacles. true that todays world is cruel,no one cares about anyones.... our own brothers and sisters can become our enemies for simple things like money or house or anything but the important thing is to struggle and to survive. killing urself and dieing is not the challenge but to live is one.
hope can be created only if u want to. u cant just lie on ur bed and say i got no hope to live i dont know wht to do with my life... thats wht cowards say u hve to get up and say to urself i gotta make tis day worth it. u gotta get up and hope for smethg....hope to do smethg good...hope to do smethg worth while,hope to do good for others,hope to make someone smile,hope to make a diffrence to the world. most important hope and try to make the world a better place to live in.
if all of us will just sit and think the world is so selfish no cares about humanity,well sorry to say by saying all these things it does not make much diffrence every single person has to try to make a diffrence then it can work out. first try with ur family then with ur friends then with the people around you if u make one person smile that person will make another person happy if he is happy and so on and on if it does not work one day try the next day...keeping tryin till u sucessed,,,,,even if u r sole person trying to make a diffrence dont let that make urself feel down... because if we try we can make a diffrence and make this beautiful world a better place to live in.
