I'm on the verge of killing myself. Can anybody give me a reason to live?!

the older you get you realize how young you actually were. Your mind is playing tricks on you, please try and get help

Well, first of all, YOU'RE NOT OLD!
Second, why the hell wouldn't you want to grow old? Being old is awesome, it's the time of life where you get to yell at people and do nothing.
How do you know you'll be in a nursing home, there are people 100 years old who still live by themselves.
keep your head high and think positive.
~peace!

Common sense.

Ignore society. Forget about your debt, degree, or getting a job. Just relax, bro. It's not important.

Our planet is beautiful. Go somewhere far away. Live a few months with nature. When you feel you are ready, come back home. You will gain a new perspective on life and you will feel reborn. Trust me, once you go out and really see the world, you will wish you could live forever.

please dont kill yourself. live for the person you are going to meet and fall in love with someday. live for her. she is out there somewhere, waiting to meet you. and what if that girl is me? live for me then.

when you kill yourself, you get no second chances. when you kill yourself, life is over. it's done. remember that.

take care,
Liv

your only 24. your health and appearence arent going to plummet in a year. so what if you feel like you havent spent your life doing what youve wanted to do with it so far. you can still do whatever you wanted to do its not like your ancient.. just start taking risks and stop over thinking the future...
time doesnt exsist!! :D

damm bro keep your head up
dont end your life my guy find a girl get married have children watch them grow old with the women who your going to spend of the life im 17 and went through a crazy phase recently things will get better once you hit rock bottom theres only one direction up and smoke some weed it will help

Dude you need to get some help, see a physiatrist, killing yourself over reasons like those is just stupid. Getting old isn't bad at all, I know lots of people are old (way past 25) that are happy. Get a girlfriend or something.

Now I know you've been seeing red
Don't put a pistol to your head
Sometimes your answers heaven sent
Your way is so damn permanent

Twinkies. Just think about twinkies.

if your really thinking about it then why post it in the internet?

Dont do it man there is still alot of stuff u can live for in life

Living past 25 won't mean you're getting old. I mean, yes, it'd be a year older in age, but you don't have to age at heart. Growing old is only really a physical aspect of life, you don't have to make it a mental one too. You could be one of those old peolple in a nursing home having wheel chair races down the halls for all you know! Live your life to the fullest, until you're time runs out when God has planned it to, not when you take it on your own. Start out with a crap job just to pay off some debt, then slowly work your way up. Get another degree, even if it's just for the h**l of it. Life is worth living, even if you may not be able to see reasons all the time, or even a lot of the time, there still are things to live for.
If you want to talk, e-mail me. I'm a bit younger than you, but w/e, we are all human. I've been through some tough s**t in my life already, and I've wanted to die more than once, so I'd be willing to listen if you'd like to talk. Just don't go killing yourself, people care about you. My e-mail is xblue_eyed_babe92x@yahoo.com (Instant message works too)

Hi Dylan, My name is Reggie. And let me start out by saying getting old is not all that bad. Why do you equate getting old with being in a nursing home. Has a relative gotten ill recently? It sounds like you have several issues going on.. Would you want to talk about some of your concerns, just one on one.
I'll give you the reason I came to for staying alive. It is that you have no idea when you will touch someone elses life. I had many of the same thoughts at the age of 31 that you are having now..
I would be interested to hear what your major is in, that you can't get a job..God Bless Reggie

If you kill yourself, you will not experience happiness. These past 20 years you say that you live miserably. You still have 50 years more. Chances are that you will find something to cherish. Death is just another path that we all must take. What is it like no one know. But theres only one thing thats sure of. It will really be a waste if you give up the 50 years of potential wealth, happiness and love.

Time starts for each of us when we come out of our mother's womb. It ends when we die. Time is a dimension based on which we measure everything on this world. After death this time dimension is not there for each individual. To understand this if we analyse sleeping, we can infer something important. Daily when we sleep and get up after few hours, we know that we have slept for so many hours only after seeing the clock or the sun. So we are not aware of the clock ticking when we sleep. Death is same. Till now time has not been defined by the scientific community. They only predict it keeps on moving forward as long as our universe is expanding. This is happening at the speed of light. At some instant, the time will start reversing. Every one of us will be awakened from our grave yard, as time will go in reverse direction, we will see our worldly actions before us. This is the judgement day. We cant imagine that day as we are now living on an opposite plane. All good actions will be rewarded and people will go to heaven and hell based on their worldly deeds. After that the life will become eternal. No time dimension at all.
Life is always oscillating between two extremes. Black & white, dark and light, up and down, positive and negative and so on. Even naturally electro magnetic waves are sinusoidal in shape. Having crests and troughs. Similarly our life has both good and bad as well as ugly and beautiful things. We eat beautiful food but ugly excreta comes out. Life is a balanced mixture of everything around us. We are certainly living in an imperfection and no way we can change it. Whether u are a muslim or aethist or hindu or a christian, still you have no other choice but to live in this imperfection. As we are living in an age of science and technology, let us talk about the scientific facts to see if science can solve this question. Certainly the answer is no bcos science itself is based on “faiths”.
The intelligent fools of the modern world has now left all of us with the problems of HIV - Aids, Terrorism, Nuclear Weapons, Environmental Damage etc.

Hey There, I have to say that as soon as I read your post, I became stressed and a little overwhelmed with sadness. I wish I could reach out and give you a hug.

I am not here to judge, as I dont know your situation fully, but what I can say, is that NO situation is so bad, that it is worth taking away your own life.

I really want to try and talk and help you through this.... why don't you email me .... shayne.joyce@live.com and we can talk further??

What?!! Don't do it! You haven't even reached your prime!! You're 24? You should be going out to bars hanging out with friends. There are so many debt consolidation options. You should be planning on traveling and seeing the world! Start a family and take them around the world with you...so so so much to still look forward to. It might seem difficult now (I'm 22 and have also dreaded birthdays) but I've learned that life has sooooo much to offer and I can't wait to experience anything and everything!!! Good luck you will be successful :)

It is ok, I know how you feel about getting older and feeling like you have wasted your youth. I said I would just take a break from college and go back...never have and I am 30. It doesn't matter though, I look at my little children sleeping and I think to myself...life is more than how I feel about aging, it's so much more. Things aren't so bad for you. I personally prefer older men, maturity comes with age. You can overcome the debt, that is not worth taking your life for. Please take my advice and go to Transformation.com, or just google Bill Phillips if you haven't heard of him. Just read some of the stories and you will find the motivation you need, I know you will. You are going to be ok, just stay focused on the progress you make instead of trying to be perfect, you are just a kid...you are only 25 years old. Be proud of yourself for having a degree. Now smile and pray then go flip on Spongebob...you need to laugh :)

Okay, first of all growing to be an old fart is awesome!
You can say weird **** and mumble to yourself and no one will give a s***

People will look up to you when you are older, you'll be richer, you be wiser.

Between me and you man, I considered what you are considering a couple months ago, I actually had the rifle next to me, the only thing I needed was the ammo, but I refrained for 10 minutes to read a thing online that convinced me not to do it.

You've got everything to live for. Do you have hobbies? I love fishing and boxing. How am I supposed to fish in Hell? There's no water down there!!!!!
