Hello,
If you're reading this and are feeling suicidal - thank you so much. I hope I can give you a glimmer of hope.
I lost a very close family relative to suicide. He never really let anyone know he was suffering and he never sought help. He thought it was pointless, he felt like a waste of space, and he was shy, so incredibly shy. He didn't think anyone could help him.
Truth is, if he had spoken to someone, anyone, whether its a close friend or family, or if you don't have anyone talk to a counsellor, things could have been different. If you are in school or college most provide a free counsellor for students who can help you through problems. I know you think it's all jibberish but I was depressed after that happened and my nan had cancer at the time and my grandad died and I felt like theres no point - but talking to a counsellor encouraged me to see life in a different way. Rather than what's the point? I felt more like, make the most of what you've got while you've got it. I understand how you feel - like your alone, no one can understand how you feel, like your worthless and theres no point? But the truth is no one is worth more or less than anyone else - you are significant in this world, you are important. And I really hope you give counselling a go - no matter whether you think it will help or not. I didn't think it would - but it did! Someone to listen and explain why I feel how I feel - and eventually I felt like I had a reason to get up in the morning.
Please try it. I've known people attempt to commit suicide and lost people and I just wish they had sought help before hand. None of them had.
If you think a friend is suffering with depression - make sure your there for them, to listen to them.
Thanks for reading.
