Suicide Prevention Hotline - fast responses pls

[Guest]

1-800-273-TALK (8255) http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/help/default.aspx is that the right number and place?

 

Have any of you ever called it?

 

Is it really confidential, they don't know who i am, it won't go on some kind of record? They won't send someone to my place of residence? I'm not going to do anything, I just... i DESPERATELY need to talk to someone who is genuine asap. I feel like I'm completely broken.

 

And do they really talk to you, or do they just kinda seem blah and just ghave generic answers?

 

Thanks...

Call them! It's their job to help, listen to people who call. If they feel you're suicidal they'll tell you to go the hospital asap, but I doubt they're gonna show up at your door or call the police. (unless you're threatening to do something)

 

They will help you, so definately call and open up. I'm also suggesting you talk to your family and friends about how you're feeling, don't isolate yourself.

 

Consider finding a therapist as well so you can fix whatever it is that is going on inside you.

If you have the strength why talk yourself down?

 

I wish I had the strength. I'm too much of a pussy

Oh no, you're on delay.

 

Hope you get back in good graces soon.

Sad to say...but I too have contemplated suicide. I havent tried anything, but I have thought about it. I have thought, maybe I was never meant to be happy.

Its not just because of the bad relationships, but because I am flat broke, I have no motivation at all anymore. I hate to leave my house but I try to hang with friends so I wont be sad.

This pisses me off because why should I have to keep busy in order to be happy??? Everyone else is able to carry on a happy life, and everyone else has a good man and a good job and people to lean on but I feel like I don't. I have a blog on myspace and every single post is negative. Every work is complaining or whining about something. My friends I think avoid me like the plague because they are so tired of me complaining about my ex, or my money situation, or whatever. I can't remember the last time I have experienced true contentment in my life. Hell, I dont think that I ever have.

What is the point in being alive if its going to be miserable? I have hung in there for so long because I have 3 kids that I am raising on my own and their dad don't care if they live or die so I am all that they have. If I wasn't around, they would be forced to grow up in the system and be messed up forever, their lives would be ruined because I am too selfish to stay alive for their sake.

People keep saying it will get better WHEN!?!?!? because its been years and years of depression and it NEVER gets better. I have been jumping through one firey hoop after another my whole life. I have tried counseling and prescription meds and NOTHING has helped me. I have tried God. I have prayed until my knees were sore. No response. I want to believe that God has not forgotten about me, but how can he put in his word that he loves me so much but allow me to feel what I feel?

I doubt I would ever actually kill myself. In fact, I know I wouldn't. However, I sit here everyday wishing that a bomb would fall on my house and wipe me out.

I am so tired of trying to keep my head up for myself and my kids. I am so tired of doing this all alone. I have no one.
