Life is such a special, precious thing. You only get one life, don't throw it away for weird chemistry in your brain. It's not always happy, fun, and care free, but it's up to you to make the best of it. Try and do something positive. Join a sport or club at school. Help those in need. Plus you need to keep your snakes/pets alive for the next 20 years! Keep your head up buddy. Remember people on BP.net will always be here for you. Wake up and be thankful you are alive and even exist in the first place. Things could be much worse!

Much love, and stay strong my friend!

Keep us posted

Don't be in denial, the fact that you even can consider not wanting to live is a sign you need help. Get Pro help before one of your bad days goes too far.

I agree with this 100%. If you've thought about it enough to post it on a forum looking for help and advice and to vent, then that's more than the "norm". In my job I deal with countless psych and mental disorders, and the first thing you should be doing is calling your local crisis or fire department for a rescue. Even if you aren't thinking those things at the moment, you never know when it will come on again, and you don't know if you'll have enough sense at that time to get the help you need.

Being down because you aren't happy occasionally is normal, talking about suicide in public is not. Get some help before something really bad happens.

Evan how did things ever turn out with that girl in your psych class from that other post you had before? You seem like your psyching yourself out over alot of things just in general life. Not JUST things about girls/friends/family. I agree with other people, going to talk to someone about all of this could really help you out. Just getting all of it off your chest will probably be a big relief. Ive been down about things before too like i said in my first post, but there are many ways to cope. I know that you trust everyone here, and we all love you, but talking to a profesional would be best i think
Feel free to PM me about anything, im always willing to listen.

Well there's a free confidential depression screening at my school tomorrow, maybe i'll go.

Definitely go - if it is confidential what have you got to lose, right?

Kinda sounds like you might be on the anxiety/depression roller-coaster and that is not a fun ride. I'm told that's a pretty common condition combination... and if this thread is any indication, you're in good company. (Or we all are crazy take your pick!)

Definately go for it. I had gone through this recently not for me but my younger brother. He had been in the military but I still don't think he had PTSD. He was a single father to a 10 year old son. Him and his son moved back to NJ in early 2010. That fall things wheren't going well fo him espescially money. He would call while I was at work multiple days and tell me he wasn't doing well. He promised me he was going to see professional help. Before Thanksgiving that year he was on the phone with the woman he had been dating and mentioned killing himself. She called 911 police showed up and brought him in for an evaluation. He spent a week in a facility where they later released him and said he was ok. Christmas day that year he spent with our mom, his son, and my fiancee. He had been crying alot that day but kept saying he was ok. He left to go spend some time at his girlfriends house. I still remeber the conversation when she called me 30-45 minutes later saying she think had had a gun and was walking into the woods. She called the police and I jumped in the car and headed over on and off the phone with her. It was about 10 minutes away. About 4 minutes or so before I got to her house he sent me a text saying nothing more then he was sorry and goodbye. When I arrived the police where there. They wouldn't let me go back and I just remeber seeing flashilights as they walked around. Then one sole officer walked back to the house. She asked Me, my fiancee, and his girlfriend if any of us had been an immidiate family member. I knew then what happened. I know first hand what it can do for a family. He was 38 and left behind a 10 year old son and a family that cared for him. There is not a day since that I still think I could have stopped it in some way. So please go and see a counselor it can't hurt. Also feel free to send me a pm if you want to talk more.

Thank you for taking the time to share your story and to strongly remind us all to keep ourselves and our loved ones well. I am sorry for your loss and my heart to his son.

I agree, don't be too proud to get help if you need it. In my opinion depression meds are just a band-aid if you don't talk to a professional or at the very least work on your problems. I've been on depression meds and seen a professional twice in my life, and I will never regret it. I hope I will never need that sort of help again, but if it happens, so be it. Something you should keep in mind is that no one can make you feel bad or worthless unless you let them.

I wish I had time to respond to every post individually, but thank you all for your concern. Actually I'm doing a whole hell of a lot better now. Lately when I get down I just sit back and think about how it's not worth it to feel like this over whatever I happen to be down about, instead of dwelling on whatever it is. I've been a lot happier recently and I don't let things get to me anywhere near as much as I used to
