Alternatives for suicide?!
Question: Alternatives for suicide?
Counseling I've tried, but unfortunately, I cannot seek counseling again for a few more years.
Hotlines - I'm not comfortable talking on the phone.
I'm not religious, so I'm not going to a church/spiritual advisor.
I have no friends to talk to.
Self harming isn't an option, because I'm a wuss and don't like pain.
I don't even know if I'm depressed. I'm self diagnosed. I'm 21, and I literally hate my life 90% of the time.
So what can I do? My college education is at risk here. I can't receive free counseling anymore, because it was limited access.

Look college is sometimes overwhelming so it may be good to take a break. Are your parents putting pressure on you.? Your 21 so take control of your life. I think the school would offer something. One person gave you a list of agencies that will help so call some of them. And I am sorry you don't know God but he is always available to listen.
Sorry to hear about your counseling. :(
Maybe you can try volunteer work, depending if you're willing or not. Maybe if you gave your life more of a purpose, it'd feel better. Of course, that's up to you and how you would perceive it after you tried volunteer work.
Talk to ur parents or find some of ur contacts that u have online.Sometimes strangers can help u more than someone u know.Strangers don't know u so they will not hesitate to talk openly with u and tell u whats what.They don't even know the same people u do.Good luck and God bless
Music, music, more music :)
Writing/literature, art, nature, etc

You're at college currently? What are you going for? There's some hope for you career wise. If you need friends, talk to some people on the campus.
