Q: i want to die really bad and i dont know wat to do and i dont know how to get help
Hi
It sounds like you are going through a very bad time right now. And it sounds like you are reaching out for help so this is a good sign. Can you tell us more about what is going on in your life to make you feel this way? Was there a trigger? I can tell you that many of us here have also felt this way due to depression. But I want you to know that you don't have to suffer and there is help and treatment.
If you are feeling suicidal right now you need to talk to someone who is there...someone who can help you. Are there any friends or family members you can talk to?
I am going to give you two hotline numbers. I want you to call them if you are in dire need. You can also call 9-1-1 and go to your nearest emergency room.
National Suicide Hopeline
Phone: 800.784.2433
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
Phone: 800.273.8255
Please write back to us to let us know that you are okay. We are not a crisis intervention site and this site is not manned 24 hours a day so if you are in crisis please use one of the hotline numbers.
Hang on okay?
Hi, there. There is help for you. Please don't harm yourself. Many of us on this site have been where you're at and have chosen to live and things actually have gotten better, eventually. Would you like to write at all about what's going on in your life that's making you want to die? We're here to listen. We don't have all the right answers for every individual, but we try to help where we can.
I want to share this post with you written by Merely Me on what to do when you don't feel you can cope any longer. I don't know anything about your circumstances or where you live, but if you're in the US, your county should have a mental health clinic, which is one place to start. At the very least, you could see a family practice doctor who might be able to refer you to some mental health resources and check you over to make sure there isn't some physical reason for you to feel this way.
I hope you'll let us know how you're doing. Even if you don't think there's a point in living any more, there are people whose lives you touch who would be terribly affected if you take your life. I'm sure you are in a lot of pain to feel this way but there are ways to ease the pain short of taking your life. Please reach out to someone - friend, family, clergy person, medical or mental health professional - and let them help, even if you feel you don't deserve it. You absolutely do and we want you to stay with us. I'm glad that you realize you need help and are asking - that tells me you really do want to live. Maybe you will need some medication and/or therapy, but whatever works, do it. We want to hear more from you. Thanks for coming to our site.
Your life is valuable whether you see it or not. When things get so bad you simply want to die is when you should reach out for help. Please, tell us more about what's making you feel this way. We'd all like to hear about your experiences. It can help us to help you.
If you're feeling real down, hurting yourself, or thinking of dying then you should go to an ER and tell them. We all gotta make a first step. I know how bad it can be and so do many people on this site.
We look forward to hearing back from you.
I am in the same boat and agree with the poster - for what - life sucks nad if you go to any prfessional( so called) it's always the sae old BS - Give you MED that are no good for you and end up screwing up your health in other ways, talk to people and yada yada they were there and got lucky IMO - The world sucks. Life sucks - I wish there was Dr. Jack ( even though he did helped people only in certain circumstance and he's lucky to be rid of this crappy world we live in. We should be able to go to a place and die in peace and pain free IMO. So, do as you want I just a chicken $hi+ and have not pullled the trigger yet for my Moms sake (86) agter she is ADIOS - but maybe NOT - As for you if you can make it and do it ALL THE POWER TO YA ! I want out NOW !
