  • Your wants do not necessarily reflect your needs. You should re-think this idea and decide if you really need to.
  • No, you should seek out competent help. You need to learn how to better deal with the pain in your life. You had something terrible happen to you and you have not properly dealt with the emotional consequences of that event. You really need to. Please find a good councilor. Life is too valuable to be thrown away. There is also so much good in life. I pray that you find the means to realize this. I pray that you find that you are loved and that your life does have value. You do deserve to be happy and I hope that you will find your way out of your darkness and find the joy that life has to offer.
  • You will be dead for a long long time. You get to be alive only a very short time.
  • No, you shouldnt. The reason you shouldnt is because you have many people that care about you, and it would hurt them very much. You need to rethink about why and what others and you could do to help yourself. in a couple of years if you havent already found that right man or women you will be so happy that u lived to meet them. <<hope this helps>>:)
  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! life is great. i can give you something to make you like life more and tell you the meaning of life.
  • ---don't be silly--just look around you---i enjoy every day--sunrises, storms, skies, woods etc etc
  • No, nothing is worth ending your life.
  • You're acting like an idiot. No matter how depressed you are, will death make it any better? I've got news for you Dorothy, life is tough, but death is'nt any better. Suicide is the cowards way out, burdening you're loved ones with funeral expenses and the worry of you're tragic death, people who would give up a perfectly good life just to get out of their problems are cowards. Get some therapy and suck it up you ninny.
  • To Die is to take the easy way out.Life is a challenge. Its fragile,wonderful and sometimes very hard and painful. But it is so worth the effort and fight! I am not afraid to die but why would I want to. Why would any one? Yes, I've been through a lot of terrible things in my life and once I thought how much nicer being dead would be but then I realized how much I would miss the sunsets, my sons giggle, my husband when he snores in my ear,do you get the picture!LIFE-take hold of it with both arms and run with it. Dont let it go so easily,the best is yet to come and you dont want to miss it.
  • Dont worry. There will be better days.
  • no i luv u lol
  • Come on, now. You really need to ask? Okay, granted there was a time that I would have asked the same thing, but before you just follow the dodos, lemme tell you something, Bowlinggreen. Life sucks. But you can always find lots of reasons to stick with it if you'd just look. Life was meant to be a trial. A test. A challenge. If you want to just back out, you're going to have a lot of people disappointed in you. And one very important One in particular. See, the thing is, before you make your decision, take a long, critical, serious look at what your surroundings would be like without you. Don't take the easy way and say "They're better off." Be serious, and be realistic. What would your family be like? What would your neighbors be like? What would your community be like? What would YOU be like? As SalientAlien pointed out, you only get to be alive for a very short time. Don't end it early. You will be sorry.
  • no you shouldn't but you SHOULD get help!
  • I'm sorry you feel this way. I think at times most people do. Life can be hard. It can also be very beautiful. When I have felt this way - I try to be gentle with myself- don't expect perfection and try to enjoy whatever beauty I can. You won't always feel this way - you should talk to someone though - someone unbiased in your life - a professional. They will help you cope with these feelings.
  • Well, I ain't stopping you, but for God sake, get some damn self respect, and put up with life like the rest of us. We all enjure crap, but is death going to help? No. Death is probably as crap, if not crapper than life. Just go and do something fun, get a nice psychiatrist, and never say no to tequila. Life gets a lot better after that. Edit: Ah well, tough love not so good it seems
  • Are you asking the right question? Generally people don't want to die, they just want the pain or desperation to end. What hurts? What pain would you eliminate from your life? What is it in your life that you wish would change or improve? What gives you joy? Can you find that again? Tell us why you think death is a wise choice. Otherwise, your feedback can only be in general terms. Live long and prosper.
  • No you shouldn't but if you want to that's your choice to make. Living is hard, dying is easy, so I guess you just want to be a pussy and take the easy way out...that my friend is nothing more than pure cowardice of you. So I can assume with the rating I got on this question so far, you don't like my perception of those who commit suicide or whom may be suicidal. So you think im joking around and you believe death is one big joke? The greatest punchline in life? Well here ya go.... have a peek into some reality and look at the glory of suicide, murder, war, and death.... since your so smart. http://www.pchorsepower.com/shock/lobby/ I have witnessed suicides at first hand,... it is the most chicken shit thing you can do in this world, there is no glory in it, it is nothing but pure selfishness with the intent of harming those left behind...it is a cruel thing to do to your family. I will not even attend the funeral of a suicide, why should I waste my time feeling sorry for someone who obviously didn't give a phuck about the world or themselves? Look, if you want to kill yourself, fine, go for it, but don't look for sympathy from me, just do it and get it over with, no worries, you will surely be forgotten... and I promise you that the universe will continue on without you.
  • Well, one day you are going to die regardless of whether you want to or not. Why speed the little time you have to live up? No one on Answerbag is going to be able to tell you anything about commiting suicide, other than not to do it. Talk to someone who you are actually close to in real life. There are way too many questions like this on Answerbag. No one is going to tell you "Yes, go die." So there isn't much point in asking a question where the answer is obvious. Serious situations like this should be handled elsewhere. Just find a close friend or relative... or anyone. It will be a lot easier when you are face-to-face with someone who can help you. No offense, I hope you're able to get through whatever complications, though. I don't want to seem like I am not compassionate or anything. Just go talk to someone... soon.
  • no it would really make your family sad and they would miss you alot.
  • Have you committed a crime or act that would make a death sentence appropriate? If not, Talk, scream, email someone who can help you.
  • Have patience, you will die one day. In the mean time, sit out the ride and try to amuse yourself. Perhaps you don't see any use for your life now, but your friends do. Helping others can be rewarding. Being there for one another can make you feel useful; therefore it rebuilds your self asteem. Give it another try, there's nothing to loose. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
  • Hmmm! Should you? Probably not. Let me ask you some questions. Have you picked a date? Do you have a plan? How are you going to do it? Who will you say a final goodbye to? What will be your last meal? what time of day? Unless you live in a cave, There has to be someone that's alive, that you would want to say goodbye to. Why is that? Now ask yourself. Do I want to die? Someone doesn't want you to. It doesn't have to be a person. It could be a pet.
  • you will you don't have a choice, but if you are asking if you should kill yourself then I'm sure you already know the answer after reading all of these
  • Some day you will. Meanwhile, enjoy the ride. God is good, and life is beautiful. Try to develop a positive attitude. Love life, and life will love you back.
  • No, No, and again No! There was a time in my life that I also wanted to die. Ironically, I called the suicide hotline and guess what, they put me on hold. I felt that if they couldn't help then who could. Well, no so long a period of time after that I met a person, I told her of my feelings. At first she was angry that I'd even feel that way but she came to understand my pain and helped me through it by understanded and supporting me. Eventually, we got married and have been together over 30 years. As bad as my life seemed at the time I wanted to die, it feels ever bit as good now. Possibly, therapy, possibly just a good friend will help you get through your pain. In any case, death is permanent with no way back. Pain can be resolved in a matter of time. Strive to hang on to that until the time passes to the point that you can see the real beauty of being alive. You won't regret it, I promise. I'll be your friend anytime, honestly - Jacklynn
  • Life is hard. But become harder. You can beat this feeling you have inside. Stop focusing on the negatives that you see around you. And start looking at the positives. Focus - -- shut out the negative---call a friend reach out-----
  • No. It's not worth it. I've been there. Then, once I got through it, and was able to see the forest for the trees, so to speak, I realized that however you think Life arose, it is something so wonderful and precious that it should never be wasted. And not just out of some moral high-brow idealism, but because everyone makes up the gorgeous tapestry of the universe and if you pull on one thread, a little of that beauty is lost. (Okay, maybe that WAS a little idealistic, but certainly not high-brow!) Everyone has meaning, everyone has purpose and everyone has a place. You just have to allow yourself to see that. Everything is as it should be. Every effect has a cause. Who, what & where you are, and will be, are entirely within your control. Live with volition. Find your joy! I came up with this shortly after my father died and was recovering from substance abuse. I think it holds true for most people, whether they realize it or not. Best wishes for a long and happy life!
  • Just imagine the amount of love your answerbag friends have given to you, live for life is not the same everyday it will change for the better.
  • If you are a woman, you are most likely like me and you change your mind about things from day to day. I see you posted this back in August and you are still asking questions so you did not die yet. I want to go to the gym and exercise but I am too lazy to get off my behind and go there. Likewise, you haven't gotten the necessary motivation to die, which I believe is good for your family and loved ones.
  • Don't sweat it, eventually you will.
  • well did you get enough out of life?
  • Based on some of your other questions and now this one, I really think you need to find someone to give you some help. If you're at immediate risk of hurting yourself, now is the time to let someone know that. Call the police, go to a hospital ER, something like that. If it's not that severe right now, then get some outpatient help as soon as possible. People on the internet can offer some help and support, but they're no substitute for some face-to-face help. After all, if you're to the point of asking questions like this, what do you have to lose?
  • I see a lot of "snap out of it" comments here. If it were that easy, psychiatrists would be out of business. I can't tell you what to do but I strongly suggest that you seek out some kind of professional couselling to help you deal with this. It may be as simple as a chemical inbalance. Maybe you have been through some trauma and it's manifesting itself as PTSD. Either way, I'm sure there are people who love you and would miss you TERRIBLY if you died. Please get some kind of help. You don't have to hurt anymore.
