Don't Want To Do This Life Thing Anymore

Question

I hate myself. I hate my body, I hate my family, I hate my life, and I really want to end it all, that's kind of it. I feel like I have nothing to live for, nobody cares about how I feel, not even my parents. I just don't want to do this life thing anymore honestly.

Counselor response

We are glad you are reaching out today through Your Life Your Voice. We care how you feel. We are very concerned for you as you mentioned you are having suicidal thoughts. Please know suicide is not the answer no matter what you are going through. Life can present us many challenges from time to time. This is a challenging time for you. It sounds like it's time to get more support to help you heal. Suicide might seem like the only option you have to get away from whatever pain you are feeling, but in reality, it doesn't make things any better. It is permanent, so it takes away the option for you to have the opportunity to feel better and live your life to the fullest.

If you ever do feel that you are not able to keep yourself safe, reach out for support immediately. This can be by calling us here at the hotline 1-800-448-3000 or calling 911 if you are in immediate danger. It can take time to find the best options. We can help you find counseling and support groups in your area. You deserve to give yourself the opportunity to find happiness, and to live the life you want.
