I know it's not easy to do this but ask yourself why you're so sad. If you can't seem to find an answer, chances are it's something chemical/hormonal. Healing won't come just from medicine: if you don't want to get better, you won't get better, full stop. And this will count as an answer, which leads us to the next paragraph.
If you do find an answer (or more), focus on them. Remember that you control what you feel. If you're always in a dark room, feeling sad and bitter, you'll attract this "darkness and sadness" to you. If you go out, talk to people, work out, you'll be experiencing new things, that you wouldn't be able to feel on your own. Try to incorporate all these new thoughts to yourself. Think of all the good things you have:
1) You have a computer: how many people out there have the opportunity to use this technology? To be enjoying the best science can offer.
2) You have food: You could be starving right now, but you're not.
3) You can read: Think of all those who taught you. They spend their time so you could grow, Neo. Thanks to what you learned from teachers, parents and friends, you're now more intelligent.
4) You're not alone: All right, this is just an internet community, but I remember you once posted a suicide thread and you had ALL of us worried about you, because we cared. We may have never seen you in person, but we read your words, we get to know who you are, and we won't let you give up that easy.
... I could go on and on.
Also you're going to die someday anyway, why would you kill yourself? Doing so will prevent you from knowing what would happen if you stayed alive. If death is better than life, there's no hurry, you can't avoid it anyway. If life is better than death, you'd better enjoy while you can. |
Listen to this guy, hes right, well put Llama, well I dunno really how to help you, I think its all in the mind, I have always kept my head up, and NEVER let anything goto my head in a bad way, somebody said about the not being in a darkroom cos it makes you sad, that is true, you should be out in the sun, science has proven that, I personally, whenever at home am in my room with only a blacklight so its very dark and looks pretty weird, but I like it.
Somebody said about it being Society, well it also has been proven that Teenagers these days, cope with ALOT more than Teens back in like the 80s, were now expected to do more in less time, and with the way technology is going, there are MANY things that we all want, but most of us don't have the money to get, but really the best fun to be had is when your with friends.
You also mentions that you don't think your right in the head, well that makes 2 of us, I have some really screwed up things go through my mind, and I mean SCREWED up, but you gotta remember, your the one in control of your actions, therefor don't worry, I don't worry, I do what I want, so these stupid bad things that go throught the back of my mind, I am in control of and I keep them back there, like I said I think its all in the mind, and the mind is a powerful thing, so if you wanna be happy, you can, just make it like that, joke around, don't worry about things that ain't life threatening, go out, do things you wouldn't normally do, and you should try going to a gym, it works, well I hope this helps, keep in touch with us and let us know how its going.

. Besides, you're only 24. People often get married in their 50s. If you think your life is boring, then ask yourself what you should do to make it less boring. I'm certain you could come up with lots of things to solve that problem. Once you do that, it only takes a little bravery to do what you want, regardless of how retarded it might be. If you consider the alternative - being depressed and bored - then it is certainly worth the risk. Get involved in outdoor physical activity, sitting at home won't help you. Preferrably get into some organization where you will be forced to make contact with other people. Go rock climbing, bungee jumping, base jumping, or some other extreme sport. Extreme sports are very good for curing depression, because they get your adrenaline high and make you see how you can easily die even when you don't want it.
