Hi,

Lately I have been thinking about suicide a lot. Every day more and more. I believe one of the reasons is me being underachieved. As a person, who had high hopes for myself I ended up working in a fast food restaurant. But the biggest reason is being alone. I am 21 years old and I never had a girl to be by my side. I had fallen for other ones but I was not be able to be with any one of them. I now have feeling for one but I cannot be with her because she is happy with her current boyfriend and she is the only one who can add colors to my life. I don't think that this is what everyone simply calls love, I just want to start crying when I am alone. I feel miserable every day more.

I try to stay positive as much as I can and it works when I am around people but as soon as I am by myself, the only thought I have is suicide. I hope you can help me

Suicidal thoughts are an urgent mental health issue. Consult your physician. If you have not told anyone about it you need to do so now. You said yourself it is getting worse. Please don't delay seeking assistance; it will only make it longer and harder for you to recover. There are very good treatment options for depression and there is no good reason for you to continue being depressed and suicidal. Don't waste time thinking of reasons not to ge help and get caught up in why your depressed or suicidal. Just get treatment now.

hi Foreigner

Suicide is definitely not the answer. It would totally ruin the lives of your loved ones and friends and you don't want to do that. I once attended a seminar given by people who had lost loved ones to suicide. And they said no matter how much good they did in their lives, they could never get rid of the bad feelings.

It is very difficult for anyone to meet up to their highest expectations. All people can do is the best they can, and we have to give themselves the credit for that. Even the job you have is good because it puts bread on the table which is necessary. And it need not be permanent. Just a fill in till, you get something you really want.

I do understand that when you are on your own. You have these dark thoughts. But that can be avoided by planning to have activities. When you are on your own to distract your mind from these things. Do you think you need medication for depression or therapy to give you good coping skills to manage it? I hope and pray you have a really great day. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis
