I was there 40 years ago...I had given up ...I wanted to die....I didn't have the drive to hurt myself but I WANTED to die big time...to end the torment and hell...but here I am now helping others with depression and suicide at springtime at the peak of suicides...it makes me happy now to have been there...just like you...we both know about that

It it more of a "don't want to live" thing or a "want to die"thing? Because I've found that they're two different things. I often wish I wasn't living, but I also don't want to die.

If it's a "don't want to live" thing- I'm sorry about what's going on in your life that would make something like that seem like it would be better. I find that whenever I get the urge to hurt myself, I work on breathing deeply and taking myself to a place that's not *quite* living. I'm really out of it, but I'm not hurting myself, and I've curved that urge to die.

If it's a "want to die" thing, I'm incredibly sorry about how you feel and what makes you think that dying is better than living. Remember the people in your life that care, and the kind of loss and devastation they would feel if you were gone. Again, my breathing technique works for me. Also, if it helps, for a while I was doing something where if I made a healthy decision, I would snap my fingers- someone here mentioned it to me a while ago, and it helped.

I'm not saying that the suicidal urges are going to stop altogether, but it's a careful game of chess. If you find a relaxation and treatment technique that works for you, don't hesitate to use it. It's dangerous.

If you feel like no one else cares, remember that I do and that I'll be very sad if you're gone.

It's worse than yesterday, but thank you for asking.
i had an argument with my mom about my mental health. she wants me healed, happy and like she has always wanted me as her daughter. none of this is happiening soon or will happen. my MI is not my choice, i'll never be happy and i'll never have her same interests to share with her. im a total disappointment for her and a total failure for me. i feel like giving in and drinking...

I've always seen anger as a response to being hurt. it isnt bad in itself, its a way to react to hurt. you could try to see it this way and see if you are still that angry. maybe it lessens a bit.

as for MY feelings, they are depression, apathy. what can i do? im interested in nothing really. all i wanna do is lay down in my bed.

does it happen when you dont drink too?

drinking could be what allows you to express your real feelings, even if in a bad way...

then i think drinking allows your hurt part emerge and state that you are NOT inferior to her, and she cant make you feel like that and you shouldnt either.

maybe you could try to work on this when you are sober. being more assertive with her. if not you could build up too much anger to suppress it when drunk.

My mother said that all women are inferior to men. she didn't want me, I was a girl

(So why do such stupid comments stick . It hurts not being loved by own mother, I'm such a .... )

Tbh I'm fed up of living too, I wish we could all find a solution to this pain
