I'm thinking of taking my own life?

Asked by Robert at 29 April,2013
I am absolutely fed up to the back teeth with life. I have lots of love to give but nobody wants anything to do with me. Also there is no end to debt, everyday I seem to get another unaffordable bill through the post, my car needs repair, I have no one who cares my ex who was the love of my life has moved on and is with someone else. Im probably going to be evicted by the end of the month. I've got a dead end job with no prospects and i have no educational qualifications. I've recently taken to drinking and cigarettes. Look im not going to moan or whine anymore all i will say is I cannot take anything anymore. All I do have is a whole box of cocodamol pills in the cupboard. Does anyone know if an overdose on cocodamol would work and that tomorrow i will no longer breathe?

You wouldn't have written this if you didn't want to give life a try. Take things one at a time -- a day at a time, a morning at a time, or even five minutes. A favorite movie or music can help. Many people get relief by going for a walk. Within reason, some extra food will lift your spirits, whereas alcohol, which makes depression worse, should be avoided. Don't isolate yourself. Talk with somebody, even if you don't feel like it. Stay in touch with your feelings. When you have an unpleasant mood shift, take one or two slow, deep breaths and examine the thought that just occurred to you, in terms of its truth and its relevance to what you're doing at the moment. If you find yourself in a stressful situation, take slow, deep breaths until you're calm, then think carefully about what to do. Exercise has been shown to reduce stress. The best exercise is the kind you enjoy. It may also be that people with depression who tend to remain indoors benefit from increased exposure to sunlight.  Usually, people go into depression in a downward spiral of negativity in thinking and behavior, one leading to the other. Getting out of depression is an upward spiral of healthy thinking and behavior, one leading to the other. In some cases, medication plays an important part, but healthy thought and behavior are still necessary. It doesn't happen overnight, and it helps to be patient. If you go the University of Kansas TLC website, you can read about the lifestyle program developed there. It's things we all need anyway. It's low cost and low risk. Book - The Depression Cure by therapist/researcher Dr Steve Ilardi.  You can read a cognitive therapy book to find out about it. For some people, it serves as a good treatment of itself. The best one seems to be The Feeling Good Handbook by Dr. David Burns, the book recommended most often for depression by professionals. There are good insomnia books. Although its not very well known, Recovery International has been helping people for decades. This program has meetings in different countries, also electronic meetings.

  2. um dont kill yourself. just think there is always sunshine after the rain. u gotta just keep pushing forward, you never know what life has to bring. Start looking for a better paying job. Figure out ways to meet new people. jump in your car and drive till it breaks down. Talk to family. Go to a bar find a new girlfriend. idk man but if your seriously going to try to kill yourself no matter what.. id find a better method. if you do end up waking up then your going to have to deal with a bunch of people putting u in mental hospital ect. not fun. but seriously dont kill yourself. just keep pushing forward and dont let life beat you. i know debt is tough im in a very similar situation. and yes i think of death but god damn it i keep fucking pushing dude. Just try harder. You can only get what you put into life.
  3. Pause. Think. There is always a solution. You could always go back to school and up your education. As for the bills. Don't make any more, only pay them. Stay busy to keep your mind off of things. Stay busy! I promise it helps!
  4. Hello, I can't imagine what you are going through. It will always be easy for me to say think of the really think positive and think of the good small things in life. Compare to ourselves with families, children living in third world country and that despite what we may be going through right now. we still have it so much better than those living in third world conditions. thinking in that perspective will open up our mind/view. I understand you lost the love of your life, don't ever dwell on the negatives think about what you've learned from that relationship and that there is a lesson to be learned and that in time emotional wounds will heal. that there will be some one out there for you. so please do not punish yourself by ending your life.

    I also suggest do some volunteer work, you will get to meet some nice genuine people. keep going, hang in there, that's what life is all about, and when you get through that you will think back and think wow I got through that! in tough times do not spend time thinking about your pain but give not necessarily partner, but give back to your community who are in need as well. you
    will feel great! believe me. in the end you will feel stronger more than ever.

    and pray, not sure who religion you follow. but you can always pray to the universe, our universe have spirits too :)
  5. everyone has struggles in life you cant give up cause things are bad right now if you didn't buy alcohol and cigarettes youd have more money you need Jesus and He doesn't cost a thing asking Him to help you doesn't cost anything you wasn't born to give up when things start getting rough.wanna hear my story I have no job,barely a high school education I live with my sick parents helping to take care of my grandmother with Alzheimers I get out the house maybe once or twice a month to go see a movie or get food I know that when my parents die I'll be all alone with bills that I have no idea how to pay when theres no way I can afford to pay them even if I get blessed with a job you need stop thinking you have you so bad you wanna die and realize theres lots of people in need of help get over it and start living life
  6. Killing yourself is NEVER the answer! There's so much to live for! Get out there and do something about it! Move on from your ex! Go get an education! There's so much for you to offer!
