I've spent more time than I can remember thinking about how suicide is selfish. It is selfish. Everything is selfish. When someone helps another person cross the road, it's selfish. They do it because they feel good. That's not bad, it's li

It's amazing how simple things can be. I wouldn't think of that but it's worth a go, even if just as a distraction.

Very good points. As in my reply above, I have in fact pretty much just done this. I went to South America last month and will be for a few months, volunteering. I left everything behind and rarely talk to anyone I know. I think I may have

These are all interesting points. In terms of caring for something, and something being dependent on me, I know that this would stop me wanting to kill myself so much - but it would be out of guilt. I already have that feeling for my mother

I agree. I would never take drugs of any kind. I've seen what they do to people who are generally happy. I can only imagine what they'd do to someone with negative thoughts.

I know that this is good advice, but it's very hard not to find the final part of suicide the most attractive. When you feel so bad each day, a permanent solution is what you look for I guess.

I will definitely check out these authors. In fact I'm making a list right now of all the resources you guys are posting. If I'm going to try, I've got to try my best.

Thank you for the links. I have called the hotline a few times in the past couple weeks.. if nothing else it was just because I had to tell someone how close I was and how bad I felt. I can't tell anyone I know. Partly because I can't bear

I agree, being happier takes a lot of work. That in itself is sad, but I can accept it. I actually had CBT last year for 10 weeks. Although it may not have helped much, I think one or two things did stay in my mind, and maybe still help me

Thank you for the advice. Point 1 is so difficult. In fact it's why I don't tell anyone how I feel anymore (in real life, not the internet). It's so easy for someone to say yea but what about that kid in Africa who doesn't even have enough

This is a really sweet reply, and I appreciate it a lot. Unfortunately in my current circumstances I can't buy a plant, as I am abroad and not in my home. When I return I will do so. I like how you look at life - always being able to start

I got interested in Mindfulness not long ago. I think it can definitely help to make life better. I know I need to be in a better frame of mind first to be able to learn it though. And then once learnt perhaps I can apply it when I'm feelin

Hi, thank you for the reply. I'll try to answer things properly. I did try various antidepressants, over a period of about 5 years. I also had a few types of therapy, in total for 7 years. The therapy was the only thing that helped, except
