Is there any way to get people to listen when you are so depressed and think about killing yourself when you don't want to?

I’ve had a lot of problems the past few years. I struggled with and beat alcoholism, I lost a close loved-one who passed, I lost several friends who I no longer speak with, etc. I tried to kill myself in October, but thankfully I survived.

The thing is, I don’t want to do it, but I think about trying it again all the time, because it seems like the easier choice. I have so little left in the world, and with my luck, I’m petrified of losing what I do have left. Nobody understands how much pain I’m in, and whenever I try to explain, nobody knows what to do, or people just don’t listen, or they think I’m not serious, no matter how much I emphasis that it is serious.

Any suggestions?

Answer #1

There are hotlines. Even people here who will listen to you.

Answer #2

You should go to the hospital, they will get you someone to talk to.

Answer #3

Everytime I call a hotline, I’m told to go to the hospital. And I’ve gone to the hospital about this six times in the past year, and they never do anything, unfortunately.

Answer #4

if you live in the united states or canada i know there are some hotlines you can call if not you can email or instant message. it would be best for you to go to a hospital though so a doctor can help you because you should not feel that way here is a link http://funadvice.com/r/bteg8bcugg6

Answer #5

I would consider counselling. Remember it is not for the weak or anything to be ashamed of. I go. You’re not judged and walked through the processes of self help so in the position, you know how to help yourself.

Answer #6

there are hotlines, but also, you can talk to me! if you ever have any problems just send me a message and we can talk. I suffer from high depression and anxiety so I know how it is to feel alone at times.

Ok,hopefully you are still with us here on FA..I was ready to take my own life back in Nov 2010..I had the ‘sleeping pills’ ready to go..Then it hit me:How would my only child cope with my leaving her behind?Yes,she is married,but she will always be my baby..So,I went to her house,packed a bag and asked her & her husband to take me to hospital.They asked me questions,I told them I wanted to die..I saw a doctor,then they called the mental health office where my daughter lived.A therapist came in talked to me,he made arrangements for me to go to a hospital..I was there 13 days,but for 11 of those days I was on medication-A total zombie..Sweetie,if you are still thinking bout taking your life-DON’T..Talk to a good friend,go to the hospital,call a hotline like others have mentioned here..Just get yourself some help,ok?I weaned myself off my zombie meds in mid-dec 2010..Never again..Good luck..There are people who care,believe it..
