I'm 16. 3 out of 4 of my best friends died in a car crash. My last friend and I both cried for hours. We promised each other we would stay together through the pain, but the next day she stole some painkillers I had leftover from a past injury and OD'd. I have no reason to live. Nobody to help me. Nobody to care about it...

@NitemareTheater Hello. I am not a counselor, therapist or mental health professional of any sort, but I wanted to let you know that you are not alone. When a person loses someone close/important to them, feelings of pain and loneliness are normal. You have suffered through some huge losses. It is important to find someone to talk to about that.

@NitemareTheater Maybe a counselor at school or your place of worship might help. You should also share your feelings with your parents. Maybe they could arrange for you to talk to a counselor.

Wow the way you explain suicidal thoughts is amazing. I have depression and suicidal thoughts. It's true these thoughts sometimes come out of no where. I have these thoughts all the time and want to die. In reality I don't want to die I just want to stop the pain I feel. Sometimes suicide does sound like a good idea but it never is. I hope I never kill myself but unfortunately it is a promise I can never make.

0:25: there is no love at all. Life is a misery.

It sounds like a GREAT idea.

These videos are quite the pill pushers.

okay so here she says " you don't wanna live like that" but, I don't have money from myself for not to live like that. So, what’s the solution then? Excuse my short temper.... but, Medicines are crap they don't work at all. Only way to recover is be happy, talk and enjoy. But, not possible for someone who doesn’t have enough money. That’s all Folks

Brilliant speech!

@kbparis You know why I don't want to live? It is because I am having problems with my mother and don't get along with my brothers and sisters. I am single and can't have a good relationship with a woman. I feel like I am attractive and everytime I look at myself in the mirror I hate the way I look. Nobody loves me and I am not being appreciated. I am tired of lack of appreciation in my life.

She made me feel special, lol

Living a lie for 40 years and living alone for 30 years, no friends, no work relationships of value, a society that constantly screams that I am not normal and should be discriminated against for even killed. A life of sadness, lonliness, emptiness, sorrow, pain.... that's what my gay life has been. So for everyone that tells my I will burn in hell, guess what, I'm already there. I have chronic depression and constant suicidal thoughts. But I'm still here.

now days it is almost impossible not to be depressed. over the last three years i have lost everything, suffered a nervious breakdown and walked through hell. now that i am on the other side and recovering, the only thing i can say is, those voices in your head, Dont listen to them, they lie.
