Hi JeN,

I saw your question and when you mentioned suicide it concerned me because I wondered if you had thought about that as an option and I just wanted to give you some encouragement!. I know how hard it is to be lonely, and I sympathize with you!. But you don't have to be all alone!. You say you have locked yourself up from society - I also have a tendency to isolate, but you know, you have to get out there and find some things that interest you - sometimes it's hard to make a change in your life, but you are so young and you have so much life ahead of you!.

Are you in school or working!? Do you have any hobbies or interests!? If you aren't in school or working, have you thought about maybe taking a class or volunteering or trying to find a part-time job!? I know that when I make myself get out and get around people I always feel better, and finding people with common interests can be a start toward making friends!.

Are you involved in church!? I am a Christian and I know that a lot of Christian churches, especially bigger ones, often have wonderful youth and singles programs where you can get together with people your age and go out and do stuff together!. My mom always told me you have to be a friend to have friends, and I would encourage you to really try to get yourself out in the community and find some people that you have things in common with!.

It's NOT hopeless and your life can change for the better! Please realize that suicide is not the answer and whether you know it or not I am sure there are people that love you and want you here, and God put you here for a reason - your life is not worthless - even when things are tough it IS worth living - there are so many wonderful opportunities for someone your age - and there are a lot of good people out there to hang out with!. I will be praying for you and I hope things start looking up! :-)))Www@Answer-Health@Com

I kinda know what you're going through!. But I gotta ask, did you lock yourself up from society or do you feel like society rejected you!? Cuz for me, I felt like I have been rejected all my life!. It doesn't help that I'm very shy either!. But as things started looking hopeless, someone finally approached me late in my junior year!. In my senior year, I got to know a few others through him!. Now I'm 18 and in college!. I moved to a new country, didn't know anybody, but I'm actually talking to other people out here!. The point is, if you feel like you're getting rejected, be patient, you'll find someone eventually!. If you're shy, you'll eventually get over that too!. If you purposefully left then, you can always come back!. It's not too late to get a normal life yet, so keep your head up!. And real friends are hard to come by these days, but remember there still are people who care out there!. So best of luck man, I know somethin about what youre going through!. Keep your head up!.

If a social life isn't what you're lookin for, than you can always come up with a dream or a goal you wanna reach!. There's many ways to enjoy life, you just gotta find something you enjoy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

there really is no point to life except to live it, so think why people like their lives, i enjoy my life because i have hobbies, i love to play football even though i am rubbish at it!. I practice still knowing i will never play for a team i also play the xbox knowing i will never be ranked 1st in the world at any game, so what you need to do is think there is no point in life but to live it enjoy it while you can you only get one chance!.

hope i helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're close at all to killing yourself, what does that mean!?

I'm not going to come off preachy to you, I'm probably not going to tell you what you want to hear, but I am going to tell you what you need to hear!.

What do you have to lose!? What is there left to risk!? Do EVERYTHING in your life (within confines of law) that you have wanted to do but were too afraid to, you have nothing to lose right!? Ask someone out you've always been afraid to, say what's on your mind, vent your personality for all to see via actions and words, without fear being a factor!.!. you are, after all, close to suicide!.!.!. and have nothing to lose right!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

You know what cured my situation at that age!? Music!. When I felt like there was no reason to be here because of how monotonous life was and when I felt like "what the hell's the point" I started expressing that through the strings of a guitar and I'll tell ya, I felt a lot better!. I haven't put the guitar down since!. And trust me, my life is no treat even today but the music puts me somewhere that makes life feel worth living!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should get yourself into the world, meet new people, make a new bunch of friends!. Start up a new hobby, join a sports team, indulge yourself in a club!. Anything just get involved with other people and your depression will cease because your life won't be revolving around you!. Just try new things and don't worry what people think!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
