No.

Go out, make some friends (good way to start is by, like, supporting a sports team and going to a sports bar or something...) ... Jobs are only jobs, shrug.... Dont worry! Things will change if you try hard enough to

1. Get out there have some fun, you can find someone. Or even casually date. It'll be fine. But confidence is what attracts, you being down on yourself doesn't help. 2. Sorry about your job. Start looking, you'll find something you can enjoy you have a long time in your life yet. Don't give up now. 3 and 4. Come here for friends. We'd also love to talk to you. =) Cheer up. If you have depression talk to a doctor and get yourself back on your feet.

none of the above..all of these problems are quite able to be solved. Suicide is never an option.

In my opinion, the only valid reason to kill yourself is if you have an incurable terminal illness. If the choice is living in prolonged agony for one month, or dying quickly and painlessly today, then I'd say do it. Silly things like relationships and jobs you can get over.

They are good enough reasons to consider making some major changes to your life, but I would not agree that you should consider ending the whole shebang. There's no reason to quit when I expect you haven't tried everything you can to change things... it will be tough to steer the ship back on course, but things feel so much sweeter when you have to work for them a little, so don't deprive yourself of that possibility with a negative and defeatist attitude.

no. all you have to do is work on those things and you will get back on the right track. If you did commit suiside think of the pain and sorrow and the upset that you will cause for your family.

FIrst off its hard to judge a person with out walking in their shoes. Just because their issues dont seem radical to us, it could very well be radical to them, and we cant simply just tell them to do this and that. I agree though that you should not kill yourself over these things, and that they can be changed. But i also know and understand that it can be very hard to get the movitation to do so with out some type of hope.

no. even though i feel the same way a lot of the times lately. life sucks sometimes and it hurts. do not isolate. even if you have to go sit outside. use the AB group here to pull you thru this. everyone is extremely supportive here. i was embarassed when i found out how many people cared about me on AB. i was pretty sure i was totally unloveable. let us love you until you can love yourself!

Of course NOT. 1. Boyfriends are really not the be-all and end-all of live. If you want one, go for it. If all else has failed, try e-harmony or something. It'll at least get you dates. 2. Jobs never last forever. There's always another one out there. It won't last forever either, but hey, after that there's another one. 3. Start here. Then go somewhere that people you like hang out. Tell them you need new friends, and you think they're great. You'll get friends fast enough.

So many people hold themselves back from adventures, dreams, travel, things they really want to do for the very reasons you are asking if its ok to kill yourself. Sounds like the perfect time to start a whole NEW part of your life, ya got nothing standing in your way. Get out there & LIVE. God bless ya ....ya have a whole new start

No, PLEASE don't. You might be jobless but years ago I lost a hundred thousand dollar business, but life now is better than ever. Not alot of money but very happy

No. 1. Consider yourself lucky. 2. A job doesn't define you by ANY means. There MUST be something better for you out there. 3. You've just found a friend in me- if you're willing to put up with me, that is. Lol. And I'm here if you ever want to talk, Anonymous.

I feel the only valid reason for ending your life at your own hands is excruitating pain that cannot be managed or relieved. I am sorry about your bad circumstances I hope things change for the better. I think your situation is less than ideal but not worthy of escaping this world.

I think reasons very similar to this have been cause enough for for a great many people to not only consider taking their lives, but to actually do it. Having said that I would urge anybody who feels that way to reconsider. It's highly likely that this is the lowest moment before a gradual improvement. Even with nobody available to speak to in the real world there is Answerbag and other sites like it, where one can talk about fears and hopes. I know for a fact that other ABers have become involved at first hand by Instant Messaging, email and phone with people who have contemplated suicide.

I dont think there is ever a "good enough reason" to end your life. I do understand that it happens and it happens for various reasons. I dont think i could classify for everyone. For myself, I think no friends would make me the most depressed but I don't think I'd ever end my life because of it.

This morning as i was reading a newspaper artical i stumbled upon an inspirational story. A once beautiful and and gorgeous miss california junior league has gotten into a car accident and came out of the hospital distorted and a vegetable. Most people would commit murder in these cases to end sufering, but this young lady managed to overcome public humiliation, and pain from her distorted brain. She is now alive and well and lives a happy life. These circumstances which you maybe be facing is not the worst. Always hope for a better day and start a new life.

There is never a good enough reason for anyone to end their life. Maybe a change is due. I new town and new friends and new job awaits you elsewhere. I found through my own personal life that when it is time to change then you should change everything that isn't working in your life. We tend to get stale if we stick to what is there and not be willing to go for the adventure that awaits us.

No. Do you have any family left? If so talk to them. I know it's not something most people want their family to know, but that is one reason family is here. To lean on when we need help. I know if either of my kids came to that point in their life, I would hope that they would at least talk to me about it. I would do everything in my power to help them. And, if you do have some family left, just think how they would feel if you did it. They may even blame themselves. Believe me, I have lived with chronic pain for 13 years now, and suicide has creeped in a time otr 2. But, I would never do it for fear of hurting someone in my family. Join a singles group of some kind, a bowling league, a poetry reading group, something that would allow you to meet people. Things will get better. Please hang in there!

no there is no excuse.

Hello Anonymous, My name is Breezie. 1. Not having a boyfriend is sometimes lonely, I am sure, but it is something that can be fixed, depending on why. Anyone can have a boyfriend :) 2. Being Fired is hard on the ego (I know, I was fired from 2 jobs), EVERYONE has been turned down in some way, shape, or form. Just think about all the opportunities you have now ;) "For every closed door, two more open" 3. You have all of us to talk to, and so far 19 friends on Answerbag. . .

No. You are loved.

Worse things happen at sea.

NO, YOU DONT HAVE A TERMINAL ILLNESS DO YA? NO?....WELL KEEP ON LIVIN AB NEEDS YA!

No... There's NO good reason to end your own life, unless you are already dying, and near the end in the first place. 1) You are only 34. SOME people believe that you are lucky, because boyfriends CAN cause you a lot of heart-ache. But there are a lot of guys out there looking for all types of girls. And 34 is still young these days. 2) I am too. Been that way since early 2003. I DO have SS Disability, but it JUST covers the house and utilities. If I wasn't married, I'd have lost the house long ago. Except for a recovery period (knee problem), I have been looking. It can be discouraging, but I have NEVER once thought of ending it all. There's just too much I WANT to do, too much I NEED to do, too much I want to see, and too many people in my family that would be devastated. 3) You DO have friends, if you look around. So far, 22 answers (I haven't read them all, but am pretty sure that) most, if not ALL have said that ending it is not good. These are people who care about you, whether they're on your friends list or not. Whether you believe it or not, if you were to end it today, literally HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of people would be hurt, some devastatingly so. Some of those people you know. Former co-workers, people you went to school with, people you see regularly (church, groups you belong to, etc.), etc. Some of those people are family (No matter how bad a relationship you have with family members, when they find out what you did, they will be hurt - that they couldn't tell you they cared, that you didn't feel you could come to them, that they'd done something to keep you away, etc.). Some people you've never met (ANY of the above's relatives and good friends - When the above hurt, THEY hurt). And, SOME people you simply haven't met, yet (They will NEVER know the fun side of you... the happy side... the loving side... and even the bitchy side.) You DO have friends... You just may not recognize them as such. There are those here, those people you see all the time, your ex-coworkers, etc. Don't take all that's happened to you so far as a sign it's to end your life... It's a sign it's time for a change. You don't have a job now... Get a different job. With no people "baggage", you should be relatively free to move... to a different town, city, or state (or country, for that matter). Maybe you can find a job that will help with relocation. If you still feel the need (nothing anyone has said has helped), call a local crisis center or the National Suicide or Crisis Hotline (see http://suicidehotlines.com/national.html ). MOST of them (locally) are trained to help you through tough times. And keep the thought of suicide just that... a thought. Good luck! ;-)

Sheeet! You've just described true freedom! Scary tho', ain't it? You gotta summon the courage and really see what you *HAVE*, babe, not focus (self-sorrowfully) on what you temporarily don't! Besides - you can always get alla that other sh*t again! Gawddamn! - thirty-four is a rippin' *great* age!

I think that you've hit a rough patch in your life and you feel like no one understands and that you are all alone. You are so not alone. People are suffering everywhere. Start by (and this is so hard) trying to think more positively. I know that when you feel miserable it is almost nearly impossible to see the good in all of the bad but you must try. I always say "fake it til you make it". Meaning act happy and confident and eventually you will actually feel happy and confident. It's so easy to wallow in misery. Believe me I know but you CAN'T let yourself get in that cycle. It's okay to feel sad because you're going to regardless of what you do but you must try as hard as possible to keep shutting down the negetive thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. Have faith in the future and yourself. Good Luck!!

No sweetie, as someone who has had two member's of her family commit suicide, I know it a very painful thing for those of us to deal with on our end. Its a long term solution to a short term problem, I also have seen many family members cry in pain where I work at a cemetery, they cry over and over what did we do wrong. I know life sucks right now, and we can't know the very real pain you are going though but there is so much yet for you to see and do. Make some changes in your life, change how you look, so you feel better, make a move to a new town, start over, find a Hobie, go to back to school to learn a new field, I did and I'm 50. If your really depressed maybe you need some meds, see you DR, a chemical imbalance can cause things in the Brain to go off and its not your fault. With right meds you may feel so much better and able to handle what life is throwing at you. Main thing is just try to to do it one day at a time, and slowly it will get better and keep talking with all of us we love you being here with us OK. My prayers are with you...

Do you still use this site?

if combined they were valid reasons I would have been dead years ago ....so I hope not

no, just focus on improving yourself and life and other things will eventually fall into place.

James 2:22 "You see that his faith was active along with his works and his faith was perfected by his works,23and the scripture was fulfilled that says:

There is never a good enough reason to take your life. True there is a time when one's life is at the point where it would be better to die and no heroic methods should be done to keep the person alive. But never take a life that is murder if it is yours or someone else's! None of your reasons are valid to die. Who knows what will happen tomorrow and if you are not here look at what you could miss!

They are good enough to make you consider why you never had a boyfriend, got fired, or don't have a friend.
