Lately i believe that everything i do i tend to mess up. Even when i try to make people happy..it always backfires onto me....I have been thinking of suicide lately....what should i do?????????
The best thing to do would be to talk to someone right away about what you're going through, whether that be with a family member, a friend, a therapist, a member of your church or a doctor. Talking about your suicidal thoughts will help you feel less overwhelmed.
Hotline counselors are also available 24 hours a day seven days a week. They will listen to you without judgment and can talk with you about everything you’re going through.

Ashton: I'm so confused and can't tell if I'm answering a comment for an entire group or just typing to you alone. None the less, I keep reading your questions and I know you have all of the problems which I have encountered. Please, even though you think no one is listening (reading) I am. I know you and your problems are very real. If you asked the questions about friends, I have a comment. When I was young, I had lots of friends. i was outgoing and generally always laughing. (even now I find humor in all of the ailments I have and try to have fun with my doctors appointments, therapy, medications and yes, even electro shock! So, imagine my surprise when I started feeling isolated and no one seemed to care. Well here's the truth! No one wants to be around a sick person. It makes people feel very uncomfortable. It's like going to a funeral--no one knows what to say to the person who is suffering. I had to come to grip with the fact that I will never have the friends I thought I had. I will never be able to make new friends by being honest and truthful with them because I have mannerism which they find frightening. My eyes are sometimes buggy, my speech too fast, my ideas fast and furious and I have no focus so my topics all blend together. Anyway, as some of my 'best friends' have blurted out when questioned: "I just can't take your ups and downs anymore!!!" "you suck the energy right out of me!!!" "I just can't be around you anymore" "you make me nervous and you never make sense anymore" "your exhausting" After hearing my best friends say these things I realized they were my best friends--the rest just ignore me and go out of their way not to be around me. (This is true of my family as well) If you are finding the same to be true your not alone. This is a disgusting and devastating illness (I have B/P) but it is the way it is. So. . . What to do? What to do? In this time of technology we are so blessed!! We have 'Byte buddies' we can write each other on the net in little bytes and blurbs and no one has to see us, or be around us or even listen to us. We can comment or not, read or not, commiserate, concede, connect, cultivate, cripple or curse and we cannot be judged. We have a choice here. We are truly blessed with this as in the past people who were sick or outcast in any way had no way to be heard. Heck we don't even care about spelling and grammatical errors! Take care, I'll keep looking for ya and responding.
