jthompson02 whats the point in suicide your going die eventually.LIfe is about chanlledges to overcome. Its the way you deal with them that makes the difference. Life is complicated no ones dinying that. Everyday is different, therefore the past can be forgotten always look forward never back and don't stop trying things can be overcome.
There are many ways to do this explore.
Relaxation techniques
Imagery
Self-talk
Social practice
Positive talk
Role play
I will stop trying to be someone, else be what YOU want to be.
Suicide is not the answer!! Even if you don't care about your own life!! Killing yourself affects your family, friends and others that care about you. Instead you should make every effort to find a solution to your own unique problem. Perhap's Crash has not heard a workable solution to his problem yet. However I am sure he does appreciate most of the advice other's have given him. I am convinced there is a solution for all of us.. I haven't found mine yet, but I am searching and listening!!!
Hello all
Well let me start off by saying that anxiety and depression are cousins. If you suffer from anxiety you are probably depressed. Sometimes anxiety is just a symptom of depression. I have been struggling with depression and social anxiety since I was a child and decided to do something about it recently. I have always been against using drugs for my depression, so I am currently taking St Johns Wort, an herbal supplement. St Johns Wort has made me 50% calmer. I dont think about such ugly thoughts like suicide anymore. I barely feel irritated at anything or angry. I used to get angry all the time. Everything used to irriitate me. I also take B vitamins and magnesium for depression. So far i feel much better.

Hello, I can relate to what you are saying. I am 20 and have serious issues with anxiety. My anxiety has closed alot of doors in my life. I am in college right now, my third year. Started off going to classes and was involved in athletics. Anxiety got so bad I was unable to concentrate in class, afraid i would be called upon. On a big campus, never talked to anyone and felt extremely isolated. My anxiety kept me from relating with any teammates so eventually i quit, transferred to another school where i could be at home. All i can say is thank god for online classes. Ive never even dated or have had a girlfriend. Even if a girl approaches me i will avoid her because i am so nervous. My anxiety keeps me from getting a good job because i get so nervous in interviews i feel like im gonna pass out. i just take comfort in thinking that one day things will get better, cant get much worse.

jthompson,
Never tell anyone to go and commit suicide. That is not the answer, have you ever seen how it devastes the people left behind. Most people who are suicidal usually are crying out for help, it may take time to work out a solution to a particular problem as eveyone is different. What works for me wont work for someone else.
I am so pleased that you love your life the way it is but what gives you the nerve to tell people to kill them selves. At the moment Crash is hurting and needs some support until he finds a solution to his problem, he doesn't need you to pull him down further.

You know, I've always been the nice "guy", let people walk all over me my entire life...always afraid of hurting someone's feelings....but I have NEVER been so outraged and so disgusted by someone's total disregard for the feelings of others, compassion, and empathy. It is people like you that make this world such a horrible place. You may or may not have had a worse life then the others here. Each person has their own tolerance level, they know what they can and cannot live with...just because their problems seem meaningless to you, doesn't mean a damn thing....I can speak first hand about suicide, murder, and the horrors of life, but that doesn't make my life any more difficult then anyone's here. Two of my uncles and my grandfather
took "a gun with one bullet.
Put the gun to the tmeple of your head
Pull the trigger"
Sure took care of their problems, of course, caused alot of problems for others as well....
These people at least have the decency to get out there, despite their fears, and discuss their problems, fears, and frustrations, accept that they have a problem, and try to deal with it in the only way that they know how. All I see from you is, hiding and malice towards others....maybe you need to learn from their example...you quite obviously have a problem, maybe you just need to except it.
If someone is unhappy enough to overcome their survival instinct, I think we have to repect that. The main thing to remember is that a bullet to the temple can leave you a vegetable. People need to research suicide before doing it.

Sullen, I know that, sorry, I didn't mean to come across as being mad about people that commit suicide. As I said, everyone has their own tolerance level, it's very sad that they feel so hopeless. In fact, I'm not even one to think they are selfish, I think it's selfish to get mad at them for it truthfully. It just really upsets me when someone can tell someone to go kill themselves...that's just kind of messed up in my book. Yes, it can leave you in a vegatative state and make matters even worse, I've just never personally seen that, Thank goodness!
