Contemplating Suicide
Lately I've been contemplating suicide.... I have plan on how I would "do it".
People say that it will get better, but its not. Nothing is getting better,& it seems that everything is going downhill. My family treats me like crap,especially my younger sister. She tells me she'd be happier if i wasn't here. She also complains about everything I do, & says I'm not it right.
My friends,well... to tell the truth, I only have 2 true friends. Who actually care about me, & like me for who I am. Everyone else at school, I don't know,they probably hate me.
Because of my depression I'm doing well in school, I have little motivation to do anyhting school related, & my grades aren't good enough for college.
I just want to give,I really see no point in trying anymore. Waiting for things to get better,because right nothing is going right.

I too am proud of you for deciding to tell your guidance counselor sweetie! Don't over-think it, just go in, be honest about what's going on. It might even make it easier to print this thread and just let her read it. She will help you.
Let us know how it goes, okay? Thinking of you!! Wish I could give you a real big hug! Sending you a virtual one!

I'm so thrilled to hear you're doing better! I commend you for gathering the courage to talk to your guidance counselor. I would encourage you to be as direct as possible. Just tell him/her that you have been struggling with depression lately and have had thoughts and urges to hurt yourself. Your counselor should be able to take it from there and get you connected with the right people. Please continue to keep us updated!
I'm doing a lot better than last night, I'm still depressed, but not strong suicidal urges,actually no urges within the 12 hours, just thoughts, But I won't act on those.
Yea, I think I'll tell guidance counselor about my depression/suicidal thoughts.Any tips on how to tell my guidance counselor?

Thanks, I'll try to tell someone.
How should I tell someone I'm contemplating suicide? Who should I tell my parents,guidance counselor? I heard that if I told a guidance counselor I'm contemplating, that they need to send me to a hospital, is this true?

Emilie, honey, this is an urgent situation. You're beginning to act out on your plan. PLEASE get some help. Call 911 if you have to. This is nothing to take lightly.
I pray you get some help!

Yeah, I'm not scared telling people stuff online, if there forums like this.. But I'm much more scared to tell someone in real life.
I don't know how to tell someone about this, or how to tell someone.
I agree that I néed to tell someone, last night I came close to OD... I went & got some, but didn't do anything...

I know it isn't easy to reach out, but look, you did here! That gives me hope that there is a part of you who WANTS help and knows that suicide is not the answer.
PLEASE reach out to someone, ask for help. If you aren't comfortable telling a loved one, then tell your doctor, or go to an ER, they will help you. Please give yourself a chance.
Read Maddie's post a few times. There's someone who's been to hell and back, and she's enjoying life. Was in that same deep, dark place, but came out on the other side! It's possible! It takes some fighting and some help, but you CAN and WILL get better. You'll never know if you don't give it your all.
Check back with us and let us know how you're doing, okay? You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Look I have been where you are now. I would lie in bed planning my own suicide. I was in the depths of despair. You may not believe me right now, but you will come through this. I have.
Here I am having been so very ill with depression. Took an overdose, been in a psychiatric hospital, thought I would never feel right again - I am living, and glad of it.
I fought and fought when I thought I never could. I would not let depression win. Many of us here have been as low as you, and still we help others overcome the thoughts that drag them down.
Is your life not worth anything to you or others? How would family and friends feel if they could not help you because you would not tell anyone how you felt?
I know people like me saying things will get better does not help. But I want you to know for 20 years I have fought this illness that takes away so much from us. I can't make you feel any better, and that things will improve. I know you feel as though nothing is worth living for right now.
You say you don't want to try any more, that you are giving in. Come on, where is that fighting talk? One small step at a time. You are young and your life is worth so much. You may think that no one has ever felt like you, or thought like you. But we have, and we do. I have not let depression take my life from me. I think you may find the strength to fight. It is so easy to take the easy way out because life is so awful, and you think it will never get better. How ever much I said to you it will get better, you will not believe me.
I want you to know that there are people here who know exactly how you feel. We allo care about each other.
I want you to know I am here for you, and I really do understand. I have been through the worst of depression and out the other side. I never thought I would be glad to awaken every day, but I am so glad I have survived.
Take heed of what others here have said to you. See how much they care?

I'm really scared to tell someone that I'm contemplating suicide,& that I have a plan.i usually never share how I'm feeling with anyone.
I'm not doing well at all, something just really trigged me tonight,& made it worse. I'm just... Really close to ending it. I'm just really depressed

I agree completely with the above reply. You need to seek help urgently.
When a person has formulated a plan, it's very serious and needs addressed right away. There is no going back, no second chances, no do overs. I know you feel hopeless and helpless, but imagine for a moment that things really WILL get better. You get ONE shot at this life, imagine if you took away your chance to have a happy prosperous life? You're young and have your whole life ahead of you. Heck, we don't have a lot of time here to begin with, cutting that short is tragic. It's just not the answer hon. Think of the people who would do ANYTHING for more time. Children with cancer, people taken tragically at a young age in a car accident. People who have young kids...gone. They would do anything for more time. Just think about that....think about how precious life is, even if it is not easy.
You need to do whatever it takes to get yourself some help, urgently. Please come back and let us know how you are. We really do care, and many people here have been in that dark place, feeling like there is no way out, and MANY have found a way out of that deep dark hole. You can too.
