i have been facing depression for nearly 8 years and i have been suicidal off and on for those 8 years. but lately it has been really bad. i know why i am suicidal, it is because i am so lonely. i have very few friends and every time i find a girlfriend, it ends up they break up with me. i have had 3 of the worst breaks up in history and i just have my fourth about a few months ago and its the last straw. i cant take this anymore. i know everyone is going to say you need to tell someone and find professional help. but again i dont have very many friends, and i cant afford help, and im going no where in college and family is out of the question because i dont have any. im so lonely in this world, all i want is love...what to do, please help me before i do something bad that is not reversable!!

PLEASE call 1-800-SUICIDE! They understand and can help! I am going to try to find you some other resources too...



Don't do any thing to hurt yourself, please...



You said you can't afford help. Please call 1-800-SUICIDE.



Then, after you have calmed down, maybe tomorrow morning, I want you to contact the Department of Mental Health for your state. I just do a yahoo search: "Department of Mental Health" and then your state. It comes up right away, and you can find a phone number. The people there want to help you get the help you deserve. They can help you find free or low-cost services, or they can help you sign up for low-cost insurance. They are the best, most reliable resource for people who need mental health support.



You also say you are "going no where in college." Are you taking classes now? If so, there is a VERY good chance that you can receive free counseling services on campus. Contact the Counseling and Career department on campus. If they can't help you on campus, they can help you find some other local resources.



As I said before, PLEASE don't hurt yourself. You know that you don't want to. You said yourself that it is bad and not reversible, so remember that. PLEASE call 1-800-SUICIDE and then make the other contacts I've suggested to get help. There is help out there. You can get well with proper treatment.

I know exactly how you feel. I've been through it many times, and I'm currently in a rocky relationship.

But I've been medicated since I was 20, 8 years now. It took almost 15 years to stabilize MYSELF, so keeping another person happy can be a bigger challenge when you have problems of your own. I also was lucky enough to find someone who understands me(most of the time)

Right now I know I should be outside doing something, instead of laying around avoiding humans. Eventually you will have to get "back in the saddle" so they say, and you will find some happiness again. After a while, maybe with medication, you will learn to roll with the punches better.

I wish I was in college and wasn't pushing 30. But I have to look positivly toward the future, then all the pain and suffering is worth it.

you don't need a permenant solution for a tempoary problem. things will get better. for all of you who are saying to call some 1800 number that doesn't do anything. you need to have someone you care about help you. not someone who lives forty miles away and youve never met before. you said you only had a few friends, but they are probably very close and dear to you. and about the girlfriend thing. you are still young. you will have many girlfriends. they just wern't right for you. you will find someone. there is still a light at the end of the tunnel. whenever you feel like you want to die, just remember, as much as you think people don't care about you, they do. I am sure that your friends would be heartbroken without you. so please, you don't have to seek professional help, all you need to do is go to your friends. they want to help you. (maybe the reason your girlfriends break up with you is becuase you are depressed.)

Please Listen, I'm not going to just tell you to get to the Hospital, You know how bad you're feeling, If you're scared, and in that place where you don't know which way to turn, what to do etc.. then PLEASE go to the ER, I'm going to leave some crisis & emergency #'s for you in the "know your source" part. Please know that I feel much the same as you do, I've been fighting Depression plus many other physical & mental ailments, I've been through way too much trauma & pain, and by the sounds of it, you're hurting pretty bad right now. Feel free to email me if you need someone to talk to or vent on, there's nothing I haven't been through, and if my suffering can help even ONE person, then it's worth it to me. I really hope that you get some Proper help with this, I've been in the "Psychiatric Circle" for 14 years now, and trust me, they might be hard to find, but there are some GREAT Dr's, Therapists etc... Please let me know how you're doing, My "Friends" did that to me too, it sucks, but they are not "friends", and I promise that you'll find really worthwhile people that care about you, and that will show you the love back that you have for them. I'm overly emotional, and suffer from too much Empathy, I feel everyone's pain and soak it up like a sponge, we have to learn to love ourselves, and take care of ourselves, make yourself top priority, and the rest will come together. Take Care, and Please go and get checked out by your Dr. Please Get some help.



Blessed Be

First of all you should know that you have power to help yourself and you dont need anybody else or even a friend or family to do it .Dont think about friends now they are just wasting your time .Second dont afraid of anything most fears you have are just imagination and not very real .you will laugh at yourself when you dare trying something new which you always had fear about it.Do exercise every day ,something that you are very interested .Eat healthy food if you can afford it.If you dont its not very important .You will have enough money after your improvement .Listen to inspiring tapes everyday you wake up .Little by little your attitude will change and you will be better and better .Dont forget all humans are lonely you will know after starting to communicate with people ,All people sometimes struggle as much as you do even they sorrounded by family or friends because they are not much people in the world that understand you and are real friends most of them are not honest with you .So dont worry about having friend you will find many after .Meditation can help .You can enjoy life just by changing your attitude and discovering the power inside you .

I have no doubt if you just deeply read my advice you will celebrate your succeed soon .Then you can join me here advicing in yahoo site .Now Im here in this site to practice wrinting in English and Im involving with so many problems in my life .I struggle and fail like all humans sometimes but I always know I have power to control my tought and emothions .Good luck my friend life is not easy just wake up and work hard .

I feel your pain. I was also treated for clinical depression a couple of years ago. I notice you talk a lot about finding love and being lonely. But you need to be content with yourself before you can form relationships with others. Sit down asses what it is that truly deep down makes you depressed.

In addition to calling 1-800-SUICIDE - consider this.



Stop trying to meet someone to be in a relationship with. Meet people to build friendships, to get to know them to have life long friendships. If something develops out of that, great, if not at least you will have a few new friends.



Take up a new hobby and meet some new people as well.

Okay, my sister went through the same thing. eventually you will find someone. and they will love you unconditionaly. go out to a club or something you can deffinately meet a lot of great people o hangout with, maybe ever a girl that wont hurt you, I am sure there are some resources near you that could help with paying for help. but nothing is worth hurting or killing yourself. please dont do anything. if you want to talk more just let me know and i will do my best to help you.

I think you need to stop doing that and just go out and start moving yourself.



Prayer man. There is always an oppurtunity in everything. BUt I just pray and let the spirit lead me man. Let God work it out. Turn your stress and anxiety over to him. Let Him deal with it



How heroes use this problem and turn it around and face life



So what you can do is write down all the things you DON'T want (the way your problem is) and then write down the exact opposite...



The point is always in ACTION. Thinking about it is the first step... the second step is believing in it... the third step is acting like you believe in it... and the fourth is in being in a place where you can receive it.



Check all these desires of yours against those steps.



Sometimes you are where you are supposed to be for a reason. Perhaps it isn't time for you to move on. Don't give up on your dream. Work a little at a time to prepare yourself for the time when you have the success that you want.



Get things in order. Use this time wisely as you may become very busy soon and feel overwhelmed if you don't have your home and affairs in order.



It sounds like you have decided upon one path to take. Often life presents more than one way to reach your goal. I believe opportunites will come and you must be open to new experiences. Even if you think it isn't your chosen path this new occurance may lead to other opportunities in ways that you may not recognize at first.



As long as you keep your eyes on your goal and keep moving forward success will come to you



I believe that toxic people can make you sick, even shorten your life. The best thing to do is to do something for yourself, leave so you can live by yourself and go after what you want in life. The more you stay with the same people, the more your life will stay the same.



Also, every time you catch yourself saying something negative, keep changing it around. You're seeing how it works to some degree... just intensify it.



My suggestion would be for you to attend school. Do you have your high school diploma yet? If not, go get it.



2. go to college. Do not sit in your house & worrying. Get out into the world and get busy.



3. Talk with a counselor at the college so you can find out what careers pay well. Then decide which one would interest you.



4. Do not stop educating yourself until you are at the point where you can earn big bucks and become that "extremely successful" person you want to be.



5. The key is to work hard and Get out in the world and DO something else



Another one is Thinking positive thoughts



Thought is the only power that can produce tangeble riches from the formless substance. The stuff from which all things are made, is a substance which thinks. A thought of form in this substance produces the form. Original substance moves according to its thoughts. Every form and process you see in nature is the visible expression of a thought in the original substance. As it thinks of a form it takes that form. As it thinks of motion, it makes that motion. That is the way all things are created. We live in a thought world. And this world is part of a thought universe. The original thought of a moving universe, first extended throughout the formless substance. The thinking stuff resulting from that thought, took the form of systems of planets. And continues to maintain that form. thinking substance takes the form of its thought and moves according to the thought.



If you can build an image in your mind and hold it, you will attract all that is required for the manifestation of it.



Look at it this way, Your hand is made of energy. It's a mass of molecues at a very high speed of vibration. What's a glass made of? Energy. What's water made of? Energy. Now if you take and boil that water that water is not called water any more it will be called steam. It's the same energy, just moving at a different speed. What's the glass made from? Energy. Use to be sand. what we've done is alter the molecular structure of the energy and we've turned the sand into glass. Still the same form of stuff.

Thought and energy is one. Thought waves are cosmic waves that penetrate all time and space. There is one original formless substance, and which all things are made. Where does everything start? it starts in thought and whats thought? Thoughts energy.



Thought in substance produces shapes. A human being is a thinking center, capable of original thought. So you are a thinking center. You're the center of thought. Thoughts are on the present, thought energy is everywhere. And this energy moves in to your conciousness. And you can think anything that you want to think.



If anyone of us can communicate our thought to original substance, we can cause the creation or formation of the thing we think about. That's a Huge Idea



So.....begin right now to calm your mind. Bring yourself to a place of peace and be open to loving direction. Keep in mind that the direction or help offered may not be what you thought it would be. It is important that you not dictate. When I say submission....I mean submission. Also, in order to receive miracles and blessings, YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ACCEPT THEM! Be on the lookout for small things offered. Give thanks and receive the gift. (Even if it is something as small as advice). Be aware. Search



When inspired with guidance...now, you must pick yourself up and take action. Swift action. You'll know if it is divine revelation. If the guidance is life affirming, (either to you or someone else)...get up and just do it! Don't wait. Yes, it is possible for something to be handed to you; but taking action on guidance should be just as much of a miracle to be realized



Everybody's journey will be different and unique to their own personal experience although what I've suggested here is the beginning foundation necessary.



After you've worked yourself out of an immediate crisis; a few important questions should arise for your consideration. How do you move forward and close the gate behind? What are you going to do to build a better life? I don't think you want to come back to this horrible wretched place again...right?



Well; to build anything, you must start on a firm foundation. You've started your building process by changing the way you think. You've planted the good seeds. Now, the good seeds must be fed and nurtured to grow. But what about all those weeds? The weeds must be pulled up, one at a time or they will over run the good seeds of your garden again. There is still more work to be done for a good foundation



I know some are thinking they already have a good foundation in place and want to start moving forward on their journey. I suggest they ask themselves a question before beginning; Look at your surroundings right now....what do you see?



If your life is in chaos, your surroundings are a mess, (literally and figuratively), your health is substandard, have addictions or a number of spirit killing situations....then you need to work on yourself FIRST. Remember...God is not the author of chaos.



This is also true for those who have asked for advice, paid for programs and/or coaches and nothing seems to work. If the advice received is good and nothing is working; then something of a higher priority should be attended to. If you are in bad health or physical pain...your body is trying to tell you something. Listen to the alarms going off! Your state of mind has manifested EVERYTHING you are experiencing right now.



Working on yourself first before starting any new venture, or relationship is absolutely necessary because it is YOU holding you back



Somehow...someway...you got to where you are now because of how you think. I'm going to make a suggestion Please take the time to read a very short book, - You can also go to any bookstore in the "classic" section and buy it. It's called, "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen and was written in the 1800's. This book is deep and every single sentence has wisdom; so it is something that has to be read and studied slowly. I highly recommend this little book, because it changed many life in a profound way.



After reading, "As A Man Thinketh" and ABSORBING what it says...you will begin to understand why I am sending you in this direction before starting your journey



My idea - "How to win friends and influence people" is an awesome book and I highly recommend you pick it up. The book goes into detail on how to be more of a selfless, encouraging, and humble person and those attributes we'll attract people to you. One of my favorite lines of the book says that 'you can make more friends in two weeks by taking an interest in others then you can in two years trying to tell others about yourself'.



My suggestion to a book it’s a book called the conversations with God. There are 3 in the series. You may want to read them and see where that takes you as a start to getting your life on track. You can go on the web and search Neale Donald Walsh as he is the author and has several very good sites



Life can always be difficult at times. The key is to realize that there is another Law called the Law of Polarity. For every negative, there is a positive. For every up, there is a down. We tend to stay focused on the negative, but the sight should be on the fact that there is a positive in direct proportion to the negative. Always keep your focus on your dream and possibility, and never on your current situation. CREATE what you DO want in your mind, and ignore what you DON'T want. And don't let the present situation that you don't like be your focus, againfocus on what you DO like and want. Then TRUST and BELIEVE. If you do not, then your situation cannot change.



I'm wishing you well and sending love your way. Hope this helps, Warm Regards, and thank you for your question
