I feel like the kind of help I'm searching for doesn't exist in this world. That's why I feel so sad and lonely and wanting just to leave this world. I don't feel like I fit in this world, like there's no place for me in this world.
I feel like no one takes me serious or understands just how much pain I'm in until I actually do it... Like it feels like ppl think I talk about suicide just for attention... My sister knows, but no one else gets it.
Hello, fellow traveler. Your dog child is a great reason to stay around. You, yourself, are also a great reason to stay. Say hi if you need or want to.
Why do you seek to be loved? It doesn't really matter, what matters is your feeling and your satisfaction with yourself, and the most important thing is God's satisfaction about you.
@@hid4768 I am a Christian and believe in God's love, but I am also a human being, and I am biologically wired to want to be loved by other humans, and I am not a bad person for wanting that.
I had extreme anxiety, and Jesus helps to comfort me with His incomprehensible peace, in prayer and in worship songs. It was like a unique peace in your spirit. ❤Jesus loves you so much that He suffered bled on the cross for our sins, so we may believe in Him and enjoy His peace, love, and joy on Earth, and have eternal life with Him in Heaven. He wants a relationship with you.
I thought it was weird nobody mentioned this so I will. Sometimes you don't want help. It's a messed up mind set to have but I know from experience that it happens. I remember waiting so long to talk about it with anyone (other than joking about it; suicidal people are pretty hilarious) because I didn't want to get better. I didn't want a stranger to make me like living, because I legitimately thought I'd be better off dead. It is still a battle and a lot of the time the only reason I bother fighting it is that I don't want to make a fuss for the people around me. Never underestimate the human ability to be masochistic.
I understand what you mean. Also, sometimes a person may not want to get better because they have felt so bad for so long, it's all they know. Change, even if it's for the better, is scary.
Almost as soon as this video started, I was bawling. I've lived with suicidal thoughts for 30 years and I have always felt so alone with them. Hearing others talk honestly about their experiences helps me know that I am *not* alone. Thank you.
I have been suicidal for 9 years and I have only ever verbally admitted it to four people: two therapists, my mother, and my boyfriend. It is a hard thing to talk about and I have always felt so isolated. Thank you for making this video.
I absolutely understand u been like this me whole life never really understood it but if iv been feeling this and u been there like this for 9 years ya doing something right stay strong 💪
People treat me like a criminal when ever I mention it. I am always anonymous as I can be online so no one knows who I am. It's horrible being in the shadows.
I am no longer asking for help because I dont feel like there's anything anyone can do to help me, and they dont care anyway. My doctor sent me to the ER for a heart issue a few weeks ago & I was treated horribly there. The ER nurses couldn't have cared less if I lived or died...so I am certainly not going to ask them for mental health help. I was hoping I would just have a heart attack & get it over with & die. I've seen counselors since I was 19 years old & been on meds since my 20's & it never gets better.
@user-do1mt8xe4b I understand that feeling too and am so sorry. Life is short enough as it is...I dont think we really want to die, but just can't live with the way things are anymore. And some things just can't be changed, no matter how hard you try ☹️
@@zoesynovle991 The sad thing is, sometimes I think family is the worst. You would think they would be the 1st to reach out...I dont know if they are just oblivous or too self-absorbed or just dont know how to help, but they could at least try
No one hears you. I am 55 and I think of it everyday. But then I am scared that I will come back in my left life living the same life. I daily pray that I don't wake up the next day morning. God please come and take me with you.
Hi Ida, we just want to say on behalf of PBS, we're so sorry to hear that you feel this way. We hope you'll consider reaching out to one of the free services available, so you can speak with a trained counselor who can help. It's all confidential. For example, call or text 988 - or chat 988.lifeline.org
@@PBS all of these services just put you in a weird circle of resources. You call one, they give you resources/contacts you call those, they give you some more resources those resources refer you to some other resources.
ida, please keep trying. you are alive for some reason. maybe some of us NEVER find that reason, but i honestly believe (and this isnt a cliche) that you HAVE VALUE. you are loved. you are a human being that deserves mercy and dignity. this takes work, though. i dont know your situation fully, but i believe it takes work to FIND something, find a way out to more happiness. unfortunately, if adults well past 35 have feelings of isolation, despair and/or depression, chances are they ALWAYS will. there will be dark periods, but i think people can try to minimize those, to find happiness, satisfaction, contentment, love in their daily lives. i hope you find that. it takes work from yourself, though. you have to WANT to. please reach out to people if you think you can get help from them.
What if the trigger for suicidal ideation is based on the concept of being alone... not feeling comfortable around others? It feels like a lot of these solutions are centered around connecting and hanging out with someone. What if you can't even bring yourself to do that?
I called a suicide hotline in Canada before i attempted suicide, and they were very unconcerned. They even had the nerve to ask me to complete a survey of how they did!
@@charmleneboni I think these hotlines link people to culty anti psychiatry groups instead of real medical treatment. If you're suicidal call your doctor.
I think I’m ready to go. Life doesn’t seem worth it at this point in my life. I have kids and even that’s not enough anymore. Nothing brings me joy. I’m constantly depressed, even when I have a smile on my face.
I understand. When someone has exhausted their coping skills and professionals have no others treatment options to try, is someone supposed to keep flogging the proverbial horse? Not all problems can be fixed. It's ludicrous to pretend they can.
I feel down and hopeless. I was driving home from work yesterday and felt like I wanted to run my car into a rock wall. I don’t have anyone to talk to except my husband and he gets mad and feels like I’m attacking him if I talk about how I’m feeling. He makes it all about him. So I don’t want to tell him how I feel because at least then we don’t argue but it doesn’t help how I’m feeling inside.
Wow and the whole time I wish I was IN a relationship. Yea, this isn't about him, it's about YOU, YOU need to help yourself because you DESERVE it. We all do.
I feel like I just read my current situation and now I know im not alone in this empty feeling. What I've learned is that I cannot change someone to feel something for me and push them to the back of my mind and all the problems I have. They aren't important, but you are❤
This brought me to tears as I'm in a very familiar situation. Please reach out to me as my husband makes me feel as though I'm getting on his nerves even when I ask the most simplest question and it hurts my feelings and makes me cry. I'm fighting tears as I write this to you...I feel your pain. We're not the only ones going through this but maybe talking about this to someone going through the same as we are will help US. I am here...please reach out...
I feel like I just don’t want to be here on earth anymore, like there just has to be a better place and way of being. I don’t want to hurt myself or cause pain to my loved ones, I simply just don’t want to be in this reality. Can anybody relate?
I can relate. I have been in a very bad way for a long time. I have no friends, my family have run out of patience with me, and my experiences with Doctors and nurses has been pure torment. I don't fit in anywhere in society. I have the body of a human but the mind of something else entirely. I cannot stand it here, and I long to escape. If I have to endure the anguish much longer I am worried I will go psychotic with anguish. I have tried so hard to hold it together and cope but I can't continue for very much longer. I am desperate and very scared. I don't dare ask anyone for help because I was badly punished by police and health care workers, handcuffed, detained and I am still traumatised from all of that. There are those of us who are suffering silently. Screaming our silent screams and praying for the end to come. We are not completely alone, as these platforms show, but we are completely trapped in this horrible cruel world.
I have yet to hear anyone say they just need a soft, safe place to just vent. I have found when shit comes up for me and I call a friend or relative they tend to become hysterical and have unsolicited advice for what I should do. Usually I just hang up-I needed to be heard, without judgements or solutions-just be that soft sacred space of silence and support-that's why I am the first call in a crisis- I wish my family and friends could emulate this for me, it just never occurs to them....
The unsolicited advice bit resonates with me. Be nice if we could all access a 3rd party or a place to let our guard down, let it out, with no repercussions.
A lot of people are problem solvers. They assume that if someone wants support, they are asking for help in fixing some problem, when in reality we all need support in different ways. It can sometimes be helpful to just be honest about what you want, to let them know that you just want them to listen and to understand, not to try and solve your problems (which often aren’t things that can really be solved like that). Other times you just have to find the right person who gives you the kind of support you need. Side note, but I find that people who have struggled with mental health themselves tend to lean more towards being empathetic than trying to give advice, which is why honestly sometimes the best person to talk to about that stuff is people who know about it from personal experience. Strong emphasis on the sometimes there though.
I am a 3 time Suicide Attempt Survivor. #End the Stigma . #End the Shame. I work in Behavioral Health, and I get the word out both Privately and Professionally.
Wow, at that point fate must really need you for something, huh. (This is a joke, I'm just trying to lighten the mood. Don't take this the wrong way, I hope you are doing better.)
Even if you don’t have family or friends around, sometimes the right stranger, or teacher, neighbor, or coworker that feels safe, can become a lifeline.

I need to know if I can reopen the case and give them the recording I have on my daughter-in-law they knew all along how my son dies 16 years ago 2:50 2:56
I tried to ask for help and was arrested, put in jail, and now all I want to do is die. Tired of trying and being a burden, and all of the pain to go away!
Unfortunately I don’t believe there is a way out for me. I won’t ever be able to accept living with a chronic illness. I feel it is more inevitable than anything else, just holding on for as long as I can.
Absolutely this. I survived terminal cancer… believe me it’s not the lottery you think it is. I was NOT informed of my rights to die with dignity and told that treatment was the only way. Irony? Projected survival after this cancer is seven years. I just hit 5…now I get to sit and wait for it in pain everyday that most people cannot begin to understand.
Same. Chronic illness has taken away what little will to live I had when I was younger. Between physical and mental, internal and external factors, I simply just wait for the end and hope it come soon. @@LaurenRodriguez-o3zI’m so sorry you were not informed about death with dignity for your cancer. I know “surviving” it is not the fairytale it’s said to be. Sometimes I fantasize about getting a terminal diagnosis so I could access assisted dying and palliative care, not just the BS of chronic illness. Which is messed up… Each night I hope something happens for my DNR order to get followed… but yet I still wake up.
I used to be suicidal. I'm not anymore. THANK GOODNESS! But if someone asks for support, give it to them!!!! They may ask you for support like you're a close friend or family. You may not share those feelings. IT DOESN'T MATTER! Give them the support they're looking for, no questions asked!!!! If the support is in their best interest and not enabling them, give it to them, no questions asked!!!! I'm fortunate enough that I got out of this dark place seven years ago, but I was very lucky. As someone who's been there, I am saying what needs to happen to prevent people from feeling suicidal!!!!
What if there's no one ? And I'm screaming on twitter no one listen or take time help fix problems My mum died years and years ago my whole life destroyed by domestic violence and let down by charity , I can't see anyway out now I tried everything x I'm happy you have people hold them tight x
@@DanielleTunstall my response keeps getting deleted for some weird reason, but I'm right here if you need someone. I don't always have people. That was my point. I would reach out to people I thought I had, but I didn't have them.
I've been unemployed/employed in service for almost a year. My degree led to nothing. Temp agencies led to nothing. I can't stand politics, I can't stand going out outside, I'm afraid all the time. I left my college city and moved back in with my parents I had such astronomical dreams 2 years ago. I had hope. Now I feel like I have nothing and I wish it would all end.
im so tired of going through this cycle. asking for help never helped before, but i searched for this video. i don't how to ask for help in a way where someone will believe me. I will ask, one last time. one way or another

8:16 I'm bowling my eyes out. I'm crying. I don't cry often, but I'm crying at these words. Thank you.
I don't really know what else to do. What exactly is the point? I struggle, I've achieved a lot, I still don't feel like it's worth it and I have no one. What exactly is the point of living day to day if there is no milestone that makes me happy?
I am batting with suicidal thoughts I don't want to be placed in a mental hospital but I don't know what to or who to turn to. I feel unloved and I feel that no likes or cares about me.
I remember a time when I was happy. But then life got so... hard. I don't remember how it feels to be happy anymore. I hope things get better for me... and to all who are struggling. Take care
Hi, I'm Shani. I am the host and a licensed professional clinical counselor. If you have any further questions that you feel didn't get answered in the video please don't hesitate to ask. The work I do is about empowering people to own their mental health journey. There are so many elements that were left out of this video because it is a series and there are 3 more episodes. I hope that everyone takes care to not judge the people that were brave enough to share their stories. As you can not truly know someone based on a 10 minute video. Thank you
How do you get better when someone you love leaves you for someone else and you wanted to be together forever. I’ve never felt so alone and all day long I think about ending my life and I’ve been keeping it all inside and it’s just killing me.
Is there a way to ask for help that won't wind up with you getting locked up involuntarily? My experience is once the cops show up it's a ridiculous 72 hour involuntarily hold.
So powerful!!! I’m a 2x Suicide attempt survivor & Sexual abuse/physical abuse survivor I would’ve loved to been apart of this discussion. Mental health/Mental illness is real
I am from the PH. Mental Health is the least priority in our country. The cost of a single consultation with a mental health professional here in Manila is equivalent to a week of minimum wage. There are public hospitals here offering consultation but setting up an appointment may take a while. It sucks.
To anyone who is contemplating suicide please reach out! Please do not be afraid! I have a friend in hospital right now who attempted suicide. Please reach out! There is help!
I had family but in our family you didn't talk about your feelings for any reason. If you did you were cut off immediately and the subject was changed. I knew I couldn't talk to them so I turned to other things to cope. My coping skills weren't the best and even those didn't help. I am a 3 times suicide survivor with the last being the one that hospitalized me. When I committed suicide I took pills. My son found me face down with scissors in my hand at my chest. Long story short, 3 days later I was discharged with a bottle of antidepressants, really? I received zero help, was deemed fit to go home with pills. No one ever talked to me about why I took the pills, no one asked why I took them, nothing but pills and an appointment to a mental health person who spent 5 minutes asking how the pills made me feel. I quit going and resolved to go forward without ever looking back. When I tried talking to the psychologist I was directed back to the pills every time so after the 4th visit I quit going, didn't bother with those horrible pills and it's now 23 years later and I'm ok
They don't even ask you if you want anxiety meds, they just give it to you. At the hospital that I went to the doctor said she was going to give me stuff for my stomach which one of them she did but after my release she gave me ideas medications and without even mentioning anxiety she gave me antidepressants without talking to me about it. It seems like they rather would just push medications versus talking to a therapist and then if it wasn't helping then resort to medications. Now it seems to be the new Norm for them to just put your medications and then expect you to numb your pain, get over it and go on with your life. That's why we are where we at because we are just tired of making believe everything is okay and just coping!
I can feel their anxiety so much. Does anyone feel it? It makes me relate to them. It makes me feel human. People hide their anxiety so well and sometimes I wonder why I’m not able to hide it so well? I start to kind of ramble and hold my breath when I talk and they all kind of did it. I also fidget and swing my legs like the girl in the sweater. I wish I could find more videos of people genuinely being anxious and not being ridiculed for it because this made me feel less isolated.
That hardest part is having literally no one. I have a “girlfriend” and kid who’s 4 but it still doesn’t feel enough to hold onto. No family. No friends. Just struggling everyday. It’s not worth it. Why sit and work my life away to barely make it by. Or have a “family” that barley cares I exist. No appreciation for hard work.
I’ve tried Asking for help and it did nothing. My father yelled at me telling me that he could take me to Kms, and that I’m such a disappointment. Idk what to do anymore. I’m just a kid it’s not like I can move out.
Ive been suicidal for a couple months now & im 22... Lost my job then I got robbed of 2k...I applied at over 30 jobs, finally found one and on my first day got pulled over for a broken head light on my first day going to work. Cop told me my license was suspended because of an unpaid speeding ticket I had months ago. I paid it at court, but never took it to the dmv... I owe $824 ny nov 3rd. I only saw the mail that I missed court a few days ago😭. The dmv guy told me and reassured me i didnt have to pay anything since I gave him a copy of the ticket reciept. Turns out its not up to him.
The sad truth is I feel like it's impossible to prevent suicide completely, it's sad but some people have no choice but to commit suicide. How can you save people in such situations? And really not many people want to talk about suicide coz it's a iffy topic, I get it. So the answer I found is that you need to surround yourself with trustworthy people who care about you, then you will always have someone to count on.
the constant side eye after you talk about it, when they watch you, when they keep an eye on your, looking to see if you're "ok" or having "an episode"
When you live a dishonarable life. People around you care so much that your life has become so unreal and fake they push you away from your dreams and want to control you like a puppet. The only reason i still live is my father. Because i don't want him to pay for me or have any grief. But when he dies i shall follow. After my fathers death my life on this planet becomes obsolete. I lost all grip with the world as nothing drives me anymore to go ahead. Everything gets harder overtime to maintain,build ... And all this withouth purpose with the death of my mother i saw how fake relationships are and how vultures fight for there place. Nothing we do has meaning to any of us. Its one fight to survive. And i lost the will to thrive to be first,better,know more. I want this fake world to end asap.
So powerful! These stories are very important and provide hope to people contemplating suicide and to their loved ones who are trying to help them. Thank you for this video 💙
I can't believe someone really needs me, and I think my parents or boyfriend won't even cry if I die. I am trying to find the experience of somebody whose relative commited suicide. I don't think something will change after my death, they will go on happily. And it makes me real pain.
Hi. We’re so sorry you’re feeling this way. We just wanted to say that help is available. If you’re struggling, please call or text 988 or chat www.988Lifeline.org (@988Lifeline). They’re here for you and available 24/7.
@@PBS What happens if someone calls and they need medical treatment for mental illness? Are they referred to doctors? What about uninsured people in need of medical care? I don't know what this hotline does.
This isn't helpful. Helpful would be explanation of painless methods. This is a guilt trip made to keep ppl around so they can suffer. Shame on all of you.
There is no help that can help me. I’ve been screaming for help for 9+ years. Physical and mental illness getting worse despite years of treatment and support. Some people just don’t wanna live… I’m just here for other people. my quality of life is miserable. Physical pain every single day. I function like I’m 80 in my 20s. Autism and bipolar prevent me from keeping even a part time job more than a year. Just wish my parents had never bred. Wish there was a legal way to end life when one has decided it’s unbearable.
I know someone at work that was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I dreamt last night that he killed himself. Not only do I feel helpless to help him, but I can't even blame him for wanting to do such a thing.
Best advice I was told dealing with depression is go with it .. give your mind & body what it needs sleep binge eat take a late night walk watch cartoons from your youth process heal & when your up for it plan for the future it takes time to find yourself again
I'm at the start. $30 says they don't even talk about money and hospital bills. Edit: This is a series for people who aren't suicidal to learn about people who are. There's nothing really in here for people living with it, they didn't even touch on the topic of money. Powerful stories... But it's always just stories.
It’s all about money. Without money, you can’t get treatment, and of course we need to make sure the insurance companies get their cut for … being a middle person and … wait, what do the insurance companies do for us?
I reached out for help multiple times to my parents , friends, boyfriend , even tried to check myself into a hospital but people ignore me even health care providers i tried already to unalive four times and still nobody takes me seriously it is so painful and lonely and so far I don’t see my situation getting better sometimes we reach out but truly in sime cases people just don’t care thats why it is ridiculus to say you are not alone cause some of us are
“You are getting through your emotions and that doesn’t mean you are emotional; you are actually very strong”. This was a pivoting statement for me. Thank you.
6:30 Similarly, the only thing that stops me to do IT, is my Mother. She has unbelievable effort on me for 27 years and I do not want to ruin her world….

I'm proud of you for being brave to say this, no one had ever been proud of me either snd I work so hard, maybe there proud and don't no how to say it x stay strong 💪 ❤️
Glad that this video exists, any message of hope and the normalization of talk about the topic is one worth communicating to an audience that needs it. However, it felt a bit flat (with respect to the survivors in this video) to see the same perspectives that we tend to see in messages such as this. There is a disappointing lack of attention being paid to things like class or isolation as obstacles in the way of healing. What do we tell people who can't ask for help because they're late on rent and it's cost prohibitive to do so? What do we tell the time poor who can't make room in their lives between the two jobs they're working to feed their children? Who is reaching out to the people who are wholly reliant on people and systems that can't be relied upon?
Truly there are many ways of getting help. However, at times or rather most of the time there is noone to help. Most people are too quick to offer "solutions" "lectures" or are simply not genuinely available which makes you feel lonely or a burden which in return intensifies those intrusive thoughts or the passive suicidal idealisation. Oh, and some just are fed up of "being there" or "providing support"
Pack of nonsense. You very well may get turned away if you ask for help. You might get locked up, treated badly, given a prescription, then kicked to the curb. The most common response will be either direct or indirect shunning.
Life doesn’t matter. There’s an inherent obligation for survival and connection in the human condition. It has no meaning ultimately and neither does anyone’s life.
I’m soo exhausted with my life… i feel like nobody truly understands me… i been in soo much pain since last 2 years.. i dnt even wanna talk to anyone.. all i had was my bf .. now it seems like even he doesn’t care 😭 all i can think of is an easy and painless way to leave this world behind
I feel like the kind of help I'm searching for doesn't exist in this world. That's why I feel so sad and lonely and wanting just to leave this world. I don't feel like I fit in this world, like there's no place for me in this world.

I have a resource if you'd like it or more than one.
I have been suicidal for 9 years and I have only ever verbally admitted it to four people: two therapists, my mother, and my boyfriend. It is a hard thing to talk about and I have always felt so isolated. Thank you for making this video.
u dead now?
I absolutely understand u been like this me whole life never really understood it but if iv been feeling this and u been there like this for 9 years ya doing something right stay strong 💪
People treat me like a criminal when ever I mention it. I am always anonymous as I can be online so no one knows who I am. It's horrible being in the shadows.
@@Alexlinnk wow
@@kekennedy unfortunately these kinda people make the world insufferable to decent people. Hurt people hurt people.
I am no longer asking for help because I dont feel like there's anything anyone can do to help me, and they dont care anyway. My doctor sent me to the ER for a heart issue a few weeks ago & I was treated horribly there. The ER nurses couldn't have cared less if I lived or died...so I am certainly not going to ask them for mental health help. I was hoping I would just have a heart attack & get it over with & die. I've seen counselors since I was 19 years old & been on meds since my 20's & it never gets better.
Meds bring the horrible feelings on stronger for me so no more. I keep searching for a way that no one gas to deal with remains
@user-do1mt8xe4b I understand that feeling too and am so sorry. Life is short enough as it is...I dont think we really want to die, but just can't live with the way things are anymore. And some things just can't be changed, no matter how hard you try ☹️
You're 100% right.. and the sad part is ... NOONE CARES! NOT EVEN FAMILY
@@zoesynovle991 The sad thing is, sometimes I think family is the worst. You would think they would be the 1st to reach out...I dont know if they are just oblivous or too self-absorbed or just dont know how to help, but they could at least try
I'm in the same situation. It's terrible to have 30+ years of pain.
It's the feeling of being so alone with people who love you.
No one hears you. I am 55 and I think of it everyday. But then I am scared that I will come back in my left life living the same life. I daily pray that I don't wake up the next day morning. God please come and take me with you.
Hi Ida, we just want to say on behalf of PBS, we're so sorry to hear that you feel this way. We hope you'll consider reaching out to one of the free services available, so you can speak with a trained counselor who can help. It's all confidential. For example, call or text 988 - or chat 988.lifeline.org
@@PBS Thank you
Been there too.
@@PBS all of these services just put you in a weird circle of resources.
You call one, they give you resources/contacts
you call those, they give you some more resources
those resources refer you to some other resources.
ida, please keep trying. you are alive for some reason. maybe some of us NEVER find that reason, but i honestly believe (and this isnt a cliche) that you HAVE VALUE. you are loved. you are a human being that deserves mercy and dignity. this takes work, though. i dont know your situation fully, but i believe it takes work to FIND something, find a way out to more happiness. unfortunately, if adults well past 35 have feelings of isolation, despair and/or depression, chances are they ALWAYS will. there will be dark periods, but i think people can try to minimize those, to find happiness, satisfaction, contentment, love in their daily lives.
i hope you find that. it takes work from yourself, though. you have to WANT to. please reach out to people if you think you can get help from them.
What if the trigger for suicidal ideation is based on the concept of being alone... not feeling comfortable around others? It feels like a lot of these solutions are centered around connecting and hanging out with someone. What if you can't even bring yourself to do that?
What if you have no one to reach out too?
@@_______ACE_______ I was wondering the same thing..
I called a suicide hotline in Canada before i attempted suicide, and they were very unconcerned. They even had the nerve to ask me to complete a survey of how they did!
@@Life_42 they weren’t any help, just telling me to stay positive
@@charmleneboni I think these hotlines link people to culty anti psychiatry groups instead of real medical treatment. If you're suicidal call your doctor.
I’m sorry that happened to. 🥺
@@charmleneboni If you ever need anyone to talk to they are always there.
@@charmleneboniI am so sorry this happened to you. That is why I do not feel hopeful about receiving help ☹️
I think I’m ready to go. Life doesn’t seem worth it at this point in my life. I have kids and even that’s not enough anymore. Nothing brings me joy. I’m constantly depressed, even when I have a smile on my face.
:(
i hope you are doing okay, i know how you feel but you’re not alone
stay here, i know it is hard... i know you feel like giving up. but you are so loved. and your kids need you- even if they don’t always act like it.
I understand. When someone has exhausted their coping skills and professionals have no others treatment options to try, is someone supposed to keep flogging the proverbial horse? Not all problems can be fixed. It's ludicrous to pretend they can.
I feel down and hopeless. I was driving home from work yesterday and felt like I wanted to run my car into a rock wall. I don’t have anyone to talk to except my husband and he gets mad and feels like I’m attacking him if I talk about how I’m feeling. He makes it all about him. So I don’t want to tell him how I feel because at least then we don’t argue but it doesn’t help how I’m feeling inside.
First off, I am sorry you feel like this. Please call a crisis number if you need to and there are people that care.
You deserve better! I'm sorry your husband isn't very sensitive to you. My wife is the same way and it's really. I hope you feel better!
Wow and the whole time I wish I was IN a relationship. Yea, this isn't about him, it's about YOU, YOU need to help yourself because you DESERVE it. We all do.
I feel like I just read my current situation and now I know im not alone in this empty feeling. What I've learned is that I cannot change someone to feel something for me and push them to the back of my mind and all the problems I have. They aren't important, but you are❤
This brought me to tears as I'm in a very familiar situation. Please reach out to me as my husband makes me feel as though I'm getting on his nerves even when I ask the most simplest question and it hurts my feelings and makes me cry. I'm fighting tears as I write this to you...I feel your pain. We're not the only ones going through this but maybe talking about this to someone going through the same as we are will help US. I am here...please reach out...
A truth I learnt the hard way
Never share your problems with anybody.
20% don't care about them and 80% are glad you have them.
Very true
Special as a man. No one cares. Pretty messed up, more ao when comes to a relationship.
That's 100% true
but what if you think they care?
@@LuLuIrene Lol
There's nothing really bad going on in my life, but I just feel mentally and physically tired.
Mee too
I feel like I just don’t want to be here on earth anymore, like there just has to be a better place and way of being. I don’t want to hurt myself or cause pain to my loved ones, I simply just don’t want to be in this reality. Can anybody relate?
I can relate. I have been in a very bad way for a long time. I have no friends, my family have run out of patience with me, and my experiences with Doctors and nurses has been pure torment. I don't fit in anywhere in society. I have the body of a human but the mind of something else entirely. I cannot stand it here, and I long to escape. If I have to endure the anguish much longer I am worried I will go psychotic with anguish. I have tried so hard to hold it together and cope but I can't continue for very much longer. I am desperate and very scared. I don't dare ask anyone for help because I was badly punished by police and health care workers, handcuffed, detained and I am still traumatised from all of that. There are those of us who are suffering silently. Screaming our silent screams and praying for the end to come. We are not completely alone, as these platforms show, but we are completely trapped in this horrible cruel world.

I have yet to hear anyone say they just need a soft, safe place to just vent. I have found when shit comes up for me and I call a friend or relative they tend to become hysterical and have unsolicited advice for what I should do. Usually I just hang up-I needed to be heard, without judgements or solutions-just be that soft sacred space of silence and support-that's why I am the first call in a crisis- I wish my family and friends could emulate this for me, it just never occurs to them....
The unsolicited advice bit resonates with me. Be nice if we could all access a 3rd party or a place to let our guard down, let it out, with no repercussions.
It seems to be the way it is. It takes someone who's been there to listen without the stigma kicking in.
LOUDER AND FROM A BIGGER SOAPBOX PLEASE
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
A lot of people are problem solvers. They assume that if someone wants support, they are asking for help in fixing some problem, when in reality we all need support in different ways. It can sometimes be helpful to just be honest about what you want, to let them know that you just want them to listen and to understand, not to try and solve your problems (which often aren’t things that can really be solved like that). Other times you just have to find the right person who gives you the kind of support you need.
Side note, but I find that people who have struggled with mental health themselves tend to lean more towards being empathetic than trying to give advice, which is why honestly sometimes the best person to talk to about that stuff is people who know about it from personal experience. Strong emphasis on the sometimes there though.
I am a 3 time Suicide Attempt Survivor. #End the Stigma . #End the Shame. I work in Behavioral Health, and I get the word out both Privately and Professionally.
Thank you for being you and for doing that.
Get the word out about what?
How did you try to die?
Wow, at that point fate must really need you for something, huh.
(This is a joke, I'm just trying to lighten the mood. Don't take this the wrong way, I hope you are doing better.)
Even if you don’t have family or friends around, sometimes the right stranger, or teacher, neighbor, or coworker that feels safe, can become a lifeline.
@@FleurPillager I agree. You can even go to the ER.
Yes, you're right. Someone who feels safe to you.
If you have a mental illness you need medical treatment. Chatting is not a treatment for any medical condition.

How to ask for help when suicidal?
Step 1: don't ask for help.
I need to know if I can reopen the case and give them the recording I have on my daughter-in-law they knew all along how my son dies 16 years ago 2:50 2:56
Not unless you want the cops dragging you to the hospital. If this happens you may be in for a lengthy involuntary stay.
Quality of help depends on your income level and where you live.
I tried to ask for help and was arrested, put in jail, and now all I want to do is die. Tired of trying and being a burden, and all of the pain to go away!
I work as a corrections RN and I can validate that incarcerated of people in crisis is truly a thing.
Unfortunately I don’t believe there is a way out for me. I won’t ever be able to accept living with a chronic illness. I feel it is more inevitable than anything else, just holding on for as long as I can.
Absolutely this. I survived terminal cancer… believe me it’s not the lottery you think it is. I was NOT informed of my rights to die with dignity and told that treatment was the only way. Irony? Projected survival after this cancer is seven years. I just hit 5…now I get to sit and wait for it in pain everyday that most people cannot begin to understand.
Same. Chronic illness has taken away what little will to live I had when I was younger. Between physical and mental, internal and external factors, I simply just wait for the end and hope it come soon. @@LaurenRodriguez-o3zI’m so sorry you were not informed about death with dignity for your cancer. I know “surviving” it is not the fairytale it’s said to be. Sometimes I fantasize about getting a terminal diagnosis so I could access assisted dying and palliative care, not just the BS of chronic illness. Which is messed up… Each night I hope something happens for my DNR order to get followed… but yet I still wake up.
My heart feels swollen.
swollen. that is an excellent way to describe it.
I'm tired. I keep trying to push away the constant thought, the days are easier when I'm busy. But then when work ends....I need everything to end too
I used to be suicidal. I'm not anymore. THANK GOODNESS! But if someone asks for support, give it to them!!!! They may ask you for support like you're a close friend or family. You may not share those feelings. IT DOESN'T MATTER! Give them the support they're looking for, no questions asked!!!! If the support is in their best interest and not enabling them, give it to them, no questions asked!!!! I'm fortunate enough that I got out of this dark place seven years ago, but I was very lucky. As someone who's been there, I am saying what needs to happen to prevent people from feeling suicidal!!!!
What if there's no one ? And I'm screaming on twitter no one listen or take time help fix problems
My mum died years and years ago my whole life destroyed by domestic violence and let down by charity , I can't see anyway out now I tried everything x I'm happy you have people hold them tight x
@@DanielleTunstall my response keeps getting deleted for some weird reason, but I'm right here if you need someone. I don't always have people. That was my point. I would reach out to people I thought I had, but I didn't have them.
I've been unemployed/employed in service for almost a year. My degree led to nothing. Temp agencies led to nothing. I can't stand politics, I can't stand going out outside, I'm afraid all the time. I left my college city and moved back in with my parents I had such astronomical dreams 2 years ago. I had hope. Now I feel like I have nothing and I wish it would all end.

im so tired of going through this cycle. asking for help never helped before, but i searched for this video. i don't how to ask for help in a way where someone will believe me. I will ask, one last time. one way or another
8:16 I'm bowling my eyes out. I'm crying. I don't cry often, but I'm crying at these words. Thank you.
How can you get help when the system is trying to destroy you
Excellent question. I wish I had an answer.
I don't really know what else to do. What exactly is the point? I struggle, I've achieved a lot, I still don't feel like it's worth it and I have no one. What exactly is the point of living day to day if there is no milestone that makes me happy?
I feel the same way
I feel you
I am batting with suicidal thoughts I don't want to be placed in a mental hospital but I don't know what to or who to turn to. I feel unloved and I feel that no likes or cares about me.
That’s how I felt for the longest time too, but now I think I want to. I’m afraid of myself but I don’t know how to ask for help
I remember a time when I was happy. But then life got so... hard. I don't remember how it feels to be happy anymore. I hope things get better for me... and to all who are struggling. Take care
I once told my friend how I was feeling. Got thrown into a mental hospital. Never doing that again.
Hi, I'm Shani. I am the host and a licensed professional clinical counselor. If you have any further questions that you feel didn't get answered in the video please don't hesitate to ask. The work I do is about empowering people to own their mental health journey. There are so many elements that were left out of this video because it is a series and there are 3 more episodes. I hope that everyone takes care to not judge the people that were brave enough to share their stories. As you can not truly know someone based on a 10 minute video. Thank you
How do you get better when someone you love leaves you for someone else and you wanted to be together forever. I’ve never felt so alone and all day long I think about ending my life and I’ve been keeping it all inside and it’s just killing me.
Is there a way to ask for help that won't wind up with you getting locked up involuntarily? My experience is once the cops show up it's a ridiculous 72 hour involuntarily hold.
The timing of when this video was released was remarkable for me. Very needed.
They love and cherish you when you don’t need their help. The longer you need help the less they care.
That hits so hard bro :(
Brutal honesty is something that is rarely found in help with suicidal thoughts but absolutely necessary.
So powerful!!! I’m a 2x Suicide attempt survivor & Sexual abuse/physical abuse survivor I would’ve loved to been apart of this discussion. Mental health/Mental illness is real
I’m so close. I know people care, it’s just that I don’t care. I’m wanting to be done with this pain.
I am from the PH. Mental Health is the least priority in our country. The cost of a single consultation with a mental health professional here in Manila is equivalent to a week of minimum wage. There are public hospitals here offering consultation but setting up an appointment may take a while. It sucks.
I am from India
Same thing here and to top it all off, the stigma is just too much.
If you would like some digital resources it is my honor to share them.
This is why I don't seek help...cost.
I am from Pakistan. I've learned to not share mental issues with anyone, including family members. Life is just not worth living here for me.
@@bhavyakjain I feel your pain from across the border in Pakistan bro. Different countries now but same *** people.
It is very hard to live, i don't wanna live anymore. I'm just already dead i nside and waiting for the last breath, hope its soon
No dont do that their is hope
To anyone who is contemplating suicide please reach out! Please do not be afraid! I have a friend in hospital right now who attempted suicide. Please reach out!
There is help!
Reach out to who exactly? Nobody cares
Nobody carez until u r bright person with money
I'm surprised to see these comments (bc there's a lot of reality in them) and also that there is no other reply at all.
Getting locked in a psych ward against your will can mentally destroy any hope you might be clinging to.
I had family but in our family you didn't talk about your feelings for any reason. If you did you were cut off immediately and the subject was changed. I knew I couldn't talk to them so I turned to other things to cope. My coping skills weren't the best and even those didn't help. I am a 3 times suicide survivor with the last being the one that hospitalized me. When I committed suicide I took pills. My son found me face down with scissors in my hand at my chest. Long story short, 3 days later I was discharged with a bottle of antidepressants, really? I received zero help, was deemed fit to go home with pills. No one ever talked to me about why I took the pills, no one asked why I took them, nothing but pills and an appointment to a mental health person who spent 5 minutes asking how the pills made me feel. I quit going and resolved to go forward without ever looking back. When I tried talking to the psychologist I was directed back to the pills every time so after the 4th visit I quit going, didn't bother with those horrible pills and it's now 23 years later and I'm ok

They don't even ask you if you want anxiety meds, they just give it to you. At the hospital that I went to the doctor said she was going to give me stuff for my stomach which one of them she did but after my release she gave me ideas medications and without even mentioning anxiety she gave me antidepressants without talking to me about it. It seems like they rather would just push medications versus talking to a therapist and then if it wasn't helping then resort to medications. Now it seems to be the new Norm for them to just put your medications and then expect you to numb your pain, get over it and go on with your life. That's why we are where we at because we are just tired of making believe everything is okay and just coping!
I can feel their anxiety so much. Does anyone feel it? It makes me relate to them. It makes me feel human. People hide their anxiety so well and sometimes I wonder why I’m not able to hide it so well? I start to kind of ramble and hold my breath when I talk and they all kind of did it. I also fidget and swing my legs like the girl in the sweater. I wish I could find more videos of people genuinely being anxious and not being ridiculed for it because this made me feel less isolated.
That hardest part is having literally no one. I have a “girlfriend” and kid who’s 4 but it still doesn’t feel enough to hold onto. No family. No friends. Just struggling everyday. It’s not worth it. Why sit and work my life away to barely make it by. Or have a “family” that barley cares I exist. No appreciation for hard work.
I’ve tried Asking for help and it did nothing. My father yelled at me telling me that he could take me to Kms, and that I’m such a disappointment. Idk what to do anymore. I’m just a kid it’s not like I can move out.

Ive been suicidal for a couple months now & im 22... Lost my job then I got robbed of 2k...I applied at over 30 jobs, finally found one and on my first day got pulled over for a broken head light on my first day going to work. Cop told me my license was suspended because of an unpaid speeding ticket I had months ago. I paid it at court, but never took it to the dmv... I owe $824 ny nov 3rd. I only saw the mail that I missed court a few days ago😭. The dmv guy told me and reassured me i didnt have to pay anything since I gave him a copy of the ticket reciept. Turns out its not up to him.
I hope things are now looking up for you. Did you resolve your situation?
The sad truth is I feel like it's impossible to prevent suicide completely, it's sad but some people have no choice but to commit suicide. How can you save people in such situations? And really not many people want to talk about suicide coz it's a iffy topic, I get it.
So the answer I found is that you need to surround yourself with trustworthy people who care about you, then you will always have someone to count on.
the constant side eye after you talk about it, when they watch you, when they keep an eye on your, looking to see if you're "ok" or having "an episode"
When you live a dishonarable life. People around you care so much that your life has become so unreal and fake they push you away from your dreams and want to control you like a puppet. The only reason i still live is my father. Because i don't want him to pay for me or have any grief. But when he dies i shall follow. After my fathers death my life on this planet becomes obsolete. I lost all grip with the world as nothing drives me anymore to go ahead. Everything gets harder overtime to maintain,build ... And all this withouth purpose with the death of my mother i saw how fake relationships are and how vultures fight for there place. Nothing we do has meaning to any of us. Its one fight to survive. And i lost the will to thrive to be first,better,know more. I want this fake world to end asap.
How true

I've asked for help. and have gotten none.
I need help I'm losing it mentally, emotionally
Talk about it man tell me
I can't believe someone really needs me, and I think my parents or boyfriend won't even cry if I die. I am trying to find the experience of somebody whose relative commited suicide. I don't think something will change after my death, they will go on happily. And it makes me real pain.
I can't count all the times I had exactly the same thoughts. But here's the good thing: they aren't true. People do need you & your existence matters.
Try volunteering at charity, give back to people in secret🤫 Also if you die, how can you show people your love ?

This isn't helpful. Helpful would be explanation of painless methods. This is a guilt trip made to keep ppl around so they can suffer. Shame on all of you.

You’re a beautiful man with a gorgeous face. Hang in there. ❤️
I feel that way. Alone and unhappy. I'm drowning in medical debt. I feel life is hopeless, but I keep pushing on.
There is no help that can help me. I’ve been screaming for help for 9+ years. Physical and mental illness getting worse despite years of treatment and support. Some people just don’t wanna live… I’m just here for other people. my quality of life is miserable. Physical pain every single day. I function like I’m 80 in my 20s. Autism and bipolar prevent me from keeping even a part time job more than a year. Just wish my parents had never bred. Wish there was a legal way to end life when one has decided it’s unbearable.

Best advice I was told dealing with depression is go with it .. give your mind & body what it needs sleep binge eat take a late night walk watch cartoons from your youth process heal & when your up for it plan for the future it takes time to find yourself again
I'm at the start. $30 says they don't even talk about money and hospital bills.
Edit: This is a series for people who aren't suicidal to learn about people who are. There's nothing really in here for people living with it, they didn't even touch on the topic of money. Powerful stories... But it's always just stories.
It’s all about money. Without money, you can’t get treatment, and of course we need to make sure the insurance companies get their cut for … being a middle person and … wait, what do the insurance companies do for us?
I do have some useful sites if you'd like them.
What if you asked and no one wants to help? They just stopped contacting you after they knew that you have that thought?
Hey! I'd be beyond happy if I can listen to you, and I really mean it! Don't hesitate to write me back if you feel like!
I reached out for help multiple times to my parents , friends, boyfriend , even tried to check myself into a hospital but people ignore me even health care providers i tried already to unalive four times and still nobody takes me seriously it is so painful and lonely and so far I don’t see my situation getting better sometimes we reach out but truly in sime cases people just don’t care thats why it is ridiculus to say you are not alone cause some of us are
For men, no one really cares. I made the mistake of telling my wife about the anxiety and suicidal thoughts and she uses as a weapon against me since.

However, it felt a bit flat (with respect to the survivors in this video) to see the same perspectives that we tend to see in messages such as this. There is a disappointing lack of attention being paid to things like class or isolation as obstacles in the way of healing. What do we tell people who can't ask for help because they're late on rent and it's cost prohibitive to do so? What do we tell the time poor who can't make room in their lives between the two jobs they're working to feed their children? Who is reaching out to the people who are wholly reliant on people and systems that can't be relied upon?
Ditto! TY
I knew it when I saw the intro. Just more "it gets better" without anything to really help us...
I f_____g love you for saying this.
Dont ever ask! They lock you away!!!😢
I've learned that this isn't a phase.
Truly there are many ways of getting help. However, at times or rather most of the time there is noone to help. Most people are too quick to offer "solutions" "lectures" or are simply not genuinely available which makes you feel lonely or a burden which in return intensifies those intrusive thoughts or the passive suicidal idealisation. Oh, and some just are fed up of "being there" or "providing support"
Pack of nonsense. You very well may get turned away if you ask for help. You might get locked up, treated badly, given a prescription, then kicked to the curb. The most common response will be either direct or indirect shunning.
Out of about the dozen people that I've told, there's only 1 person that will still talk to me
Life doesn’t matter. There’s an inherent obligation for survival and connection in the human condition. It has no meaning ultimately and neither does anyone’s life.
This life is very painful and can seem meaningless. We are not built for this world..I pray you find hope
ALL YALL WILL DO IS CALL THE POLICE & PUT ME IN A 5150
I feel so much pain it's depression and anxiety and anhedonia 😭
988 has really helped me out.
Does anyone know what the websites that are pro suicide are?
I'd like to know about those sights if there are.
