can u relate?

i wake up in the morning and i have these feelings like i want to die. i am depressed, thats for sure, but i dont really think about the reasoning for the emotion, thats just what i feel like. as much as i hope no one can relate to this, i hope someone has some good advice. thanks

I think it may be a good idea to look into therapy if you don't already. It would be good to look at the feelings and thoughts that could be possible cause for your sadness. Doing this with a therapist in a safe setting. Medications may also help if you are not currently on.
If you are having thoughts you want to die, I encourage you to get professional help.
I had been feeling suicidal and finally decided to see someone, I can tell you that it felt like a huge weight was lifted off me. I feel more at ease now.

I wish you all the best, let us know how things go. Keep us up to date.
It was good of you to come hear to reach out.

I have struggled with similar thoughts and emotions. Therapy has helped me in many ways. A couple of very useful techniques for me have been: 1.) Focusing on the moment/s in dark times ~ very simple. Looking at a twig, for instance. Feeling the textures completely. Focusing all of my attention on the twig for a few minutes. It puts me into a more relaxed state of mind. You can do that w/anything! Sky, birds, trees, streams or ocean, etc. Personally, I always choose to focus on non-human subjects. That works much better for me, personally. 2.) Recognizing my self-hate, I know it exists, but that doesn't mean that I have to focus on it. There are parts of life that I can & do enjoy. I choose to focus more on the things in life that bring me some positive emotions.

Those two are my best discoveries to help me get through the very toughest times. Of course, I still see all of my doctors regularly as well. That is an automatic "must" imo. Very best wishes & gentle hugs to you ~ take care!

thanks a lot everyone..i am seeing a therapist and currently on celexa...thankyou shezbut, good ideas

I can relate. I have suicidal thoughts (though not every morning) and they come out of a feeling that nothing will ever change and I am helpless to make things different. However, now I realize they are thoughts, not predictions, and when I am not having them, I work on making the changes to improve my life so I can stop having them. It's a long process, one I think I could hasten if I get professional help (other than the medication my GP prescribed.) Give some thought to the reasoning for the emotion and maybe that will help, ok? Courage!

yeah, my reasoning might sound similar to yours icecreamkid, but change sounds doable, appreciate the input.
