Hate My Life

Thank you for reaching out to Your Life Your Voice.  It really sounds like you are going through a difficult time and that your thoughts are causing your life to spiral out of control.  You made the right choice to reach out for help and it’s a good step you were able to admit that.  It shows strength in even what may feel like one of your darkest moments.

We are very concerned for you as you mentioned you are having thoughts of suicide.  Please know suicide is not the answer for any problem.  Life can present us many challenges and right now you are struggling.  Suicide might seem like the only option you have to get away from the 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 feel that you are not able to keep yourself safe, reach out for support immediately.  This can be by calling local emergency response personnel or calling us here at the hotline.  We are here to support you and talk to you about what is going on and what is causing you to feel this way.  There is help available and you are not alone.  Using healthy coping skills can you help get through difficult times.  It can take time to find the best the options to heal and cope, but suicide should not be one of those options. For today, let’s make a plan and a promise and a goal to keep you safe.  Finding a different outlet to help you work through your feelings in a healthy way would be a wise choice.  We have a link below that will help you with this plan.
