      I’ll be real, a man committing suicide is a bitch thing to do 🤷‍♂️ where is the masculine energy at? It doesn’t matter how hard things get things will always get better, if you’re a man taking the easy way out then what were you born as a man for? Some people have much bigger problems than you but you just resort to the easy way out and want my respect, no chance. I just made a video on all this and went in deep check it out stay blessed 🙏

    I went to my line manager about a month ago and said I haven't been coping very well. She (who now works from home) said that the needs of the business must come first. Nothing has been done and I'm living in a total state of anxiety. Can you imagine if the sexes were reversed in this conversation? We've recently celebrated International Woman's Day (quite rightly) as we did last year. But unfortunately International Men's Day was totally overlooked. I will be submitting this video to my HR department urging that the event is highlighted this year.

      There is meaning in all of this life, though you may not think so. As a 20+ victim of chronic pain, I’ve thought about it, it I realize how it would hurt my kids. I said it one night in front of my 20 year old, and I only just found out how hurt and scared he was. It tore me up. Find a relationship with Jesus, go to a Christian Church, especially a Catholic Church. Jesus is always present there in the tabernacle. Talk to him, tell him what you think, and ask for his help. I offer my pain up to him daily, uniting it to His cross for the salvation of souls. At least I can help somebody through this pain, otherwise it would be worthless. Also, look for the little joys in life, and be thankful for them. Being grateful is one way to get out of yourself. Volunteering somewhere is good for that, too. I pray you’re doing better. God bless you.

    I'm going to unload here because there is nowhere else that i can. Don't read if you're easily unsettled or triggered.
    I'm 23, from the UK. I suffer with depression and anxiety. I attempted Suicide last year, 2018; I hung myself. full suspension, but no drop. It was not an impulsive decision, i didn't do it on a whim. It took months of desensitization to the idea of the rope around my neck, and the sensation of falling unconscious and avoiding panic, before i was ready to go through with it. That took an enormous amount of mental energy, now, over a year later, im still drained by it. Despite this, I've still decided that I'm going to do it again, i haven't picked a date, as im yet to rebuild the necessary mental fortitude. it's also partly to do with the fact that good rope is exceptionally hard to buy in the UK for some reason lmao. Anyway, here's context as to why i'm doing/have done what im doing.
    Depression is a serious problem. It is a plague, it corrupts your entire process of thinking. Your 'Roadmap' of life is warped to a point where, the location you're currently at is awful and every possible position you could move too is awful AND there is no end goal or achievement that would mean anything valuable or useful whatsoever. It applies to everything; Your appearance? 'Awful and there is nothing you could possibly do to improve it in any meaningful way at all'. Your academic or career achievements? 'Worthless and there is nothing you can do to make them valuable'. Your friends? 'They don't actually like you and just take pity on you'.
    It makes failures infinitely harder to deal with aswell. You failed a class by a few points? 'Why the fuck are you even trying? Drop out, there's no possible way you could ever pass that class'. Get rejected by someone? 'lol its because you're ugly af and pathetic'.
    Now, here's the thing, you can get past that with logical, mindful thinking. Thats what they teach you when you go to CBT(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) It still fucking sucks, but you can pass that. However, if, like me, you have a nihilistic philosophy, you're in a bad position. Because now, life has no objective purpose or meaning AND you have an exponentially increasing burden for you to bear. So here we're upping the level of suffering a little bit more. So the therapist's response is; "Okay, so objectively, life has no purpose or meaning, but that doesn't mean you can't create a subjective meaning and purpose in your own life". Yeah, you're absolutely right, there are multiple avenues for success in a modern human life. Academic, Social, Career, Family just to name a few.
    Well, personally, i can't succeed Academically because i likely have a below average IQ/intelligence and both of those are REQUIRED to succeed in that field. Career? I'm not interested or driven enough in any task to seek a career in it, remember not every job is a career. I can't achieve socially because i'm too socially awkward and am anxious constantly, i tried most of my life to achieve this one to no avail. Family is the only objective i can set short term, but it is short term because my parents will not be around for much longer due to deteriorating medical conditions. So now what? we have a short term objective of 'Live for your family' for a few years, then?
    Okay okay, lets just say that we can forget about most of the problems and just get a job and exist. I don't even want to be involved in (and i know how fucking cringe this sounds) society. a good 50%++ of my life will be spent working, Why? 'because you have too'. The fuck kind of response even is that. You're now in a circumstance where, the game of life has handed you a poor hand of cards, So you can't possibly win the game, but also, the game itself is something you cannot bare to play, but you're held at gunpoint to play it and cannot leave. What do you even do? there is no out.
    To extend upon that, you can't even talk about this shit to anyone either. One, it's a hell of bombshell to drop on people and it is horribly unfair to share. Two, To spread this burden to others is to potentially expose them to a line of thinking that they hadn't considered, and dragging them down with you. And yes, to be clear, it IS a burden. To confide in people is to share the load, to share severe problems such as this, is seriously taxing to those listening. Even therapists, people professional trained to deal with this kind of problem, need constant breaks and help as to not get mentally and emotional fatigued.
    So in addition to all that crap previously mentioned, You're alone to bare the burden aswell.
    look man, i know "To live is to suffer, to be alive is to find meaning in the suffering." but when every possible avenue of success is something unachievable, most of your time in this world is spent doing something you despise, you believe that there is objectively no reason to do what you're doing, AND you have an ever growing weight that continues to crush you relentlessly. What possible other conclusion do you land at other than suicide?
    As a final note, because people will probably mention it; I've been to therapy, it was nice but ultimately unhelpful. I was taken to a psych ward - A horrible experience and i'd rather not relive it. I am indeed on medication, it helped a lot, but, my problem is rooted rather deeply. The UK Mental Health sector needs work. It is currently poor in my experience. The last thing i want to get off my chest, to all those people who think they're helpful by saying "It gets better", Stop saying that. Because No, it doesnt, you just tolerate it more, it always hurts just as much.

I just wish you could take that same amount of care and apply to yourself. I guess all I can say is you are awesome for being so brutally honest. Why?

My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me he was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

    I think maybe it's time to put my life into perspective. Some of my friends know, others don't...but I'd like to clarify my life to you all, whether you knew already or not. Between 2011 and 2015 I struggled, with life. I couldn't leave the house, I didn't want to see people or talk to people. I was medicated to the point I'd sleep at crazy times. I had several therapists who all gave up on me to the point the last one I had ended up laying on his own couch.
    I stripped my house of any material belongings, I stripped my kids' bedroom of everything that belonged to them, as in my head I thought I'd never see them again.
    I have the attention span of a gnat on coke, I'm getting bored already so i'll speed up....
    In 2015 I dropped the meds. Took my kids (who were the only reason I hadn't offed myself) on holiday and I got a job which helped me to integrate with people, which was a struggle. 2019 I got a new job, more challenges > still integrating.
    I'm shit at being social, I hate having to converse, it's not that I don't like you all....I just have issues, I may be better but I'm not fixed.

We can tell when someone really doesn't give a shit.

    i hate when people call it selfish because people have to understand how it can distort your perception of reality to an almost delusional level sometimes it makes it impossible to consider others because you just lose that ability to connect and care but a lot of times it's actually coming from a place of caring too much this distorted perception makes you honestly believe it's an selfless act that you're doing this to help others to make their life better to save them pushing a loved one out of the way of the bus and letting it run you over instead because you honestly believe your existence is doing them more harm than good it's complete and utter bs but it feels real at the time. what's actually selfish is seeing a person in that much despair and agony to the point where they can't bear it and telling them they're selfish and they should just endure the pain for the sake of others instead of offering actual real support that might make life bearable

      I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

It doesn’t matter how hard things get things will always get better, if you’re a man taking the easy way out then what were you born as a man for? Some people have much bigger problems than you but you just resort to the easy way out and want my respect, no chance. I just made a video on all this and went in deep check it out stay blessed 🙏.

    2020 has perhaps bought into focus more and more about just how serious the issue of mental health is. Of course, this is nothing new, we have been aware if it for some time. But we are living in a time unprecedented in many of our lifetimes and it has bought it more to people’s attention. I’ve seen people in work who’s personality has changed. They seem to be walking around with the weight of the world on their shoulders. If there is anything good to come out of this pandemic, it may be that we finally recognise mental health as the serious problem it is...and indeed has been for a long time. The number 1 killer for men in the UK under the age of 50 is suicide. Just let that sink in.

    Depression when it gets severe is unimaginably bad, it’s scary, very scary, things don’t make sense, you can’t think clearly and you lose hope. Some have bad insomnia where they can’t sleep which makes things worse. I’m in a very bad place now, unemployment for a very very long time, have ocd and many issues, I’m barely holding on. I admitted myself to hospital at the end of January to a ward, was there 3 weeks and I slept poorly in there too and felt agitated so left and haven’t felt myself since. My mental health has been getting worse for a couple of years now. I’m 49 and so very tired of the struggle, I don’t know where to turn now. If rather lose an arm or a leg if it meant not feeling like this ever again. If there is a god then please help me, please as I can’t seem to find any peace of mind. I need to be able to sleep again too, and not lying there for hours all through the night

      I won't comment about there being a god or not - but there are other people in this world who understand you. These medical systems - most of them are just shit. So what that means is we keep fighting to find a doctor or a therapist or some professional who can help us find ways to cope and keep on living. I've seen over a dozen therapists through my life - I've found maybe only 2 who were good. (And one of those, I'm getting help from now.) It is a statistical probability that we have to go through I'd guess half a dozen professionals until we find the right one - or we get lucky. Keep fighting until you find one who will help you get your sleep (which is SO important for mental wellness) and guide you to learning how to make life liveable for yourself. Trust me, someone is "out there" for you

    I'm Schizophrenic was abused as a child, been depressed all my life, committed suicide tonnes of times, stabbed myself (was seriously close to death) drank bleach, took ricin poison but didn't know to use lie so just drank a load of acetate and castor beans, sliced my wrists so many time yadda yadda but what I realised at the ripe old age of 35 was that the majority of my problems are my fault and in my control. Our demons are mostly of our own design. Bo hoo my life is shit, the past that is, it doesn't control my present. WILL POWER overcomes all that shit, making your life better by incremental improvements and when you start trying to make your life better you are no longer a victim and you realise that most of your problems are your own fault, because all us depressed and all us with mental health problems have extreme self destructive tendencies. Understand that and just try to be better, stop drinking, stop doing shit. It worked for me.

    In a world dominated by social media, it's too easy to think that everyone's else's lifes are perfect. Everyday, we see celebrities who look like they live the best lives ever. None of us ever see how they are after a photo on instagram or before a red carpet interview. Being famous or being rich dosent mean anything. It dosent matter where you come from, your mental health can still dwindle at any point. No one ever goes out and is emotional at work because it isn't "professional". Even though, so many people are sad, anxious, alone, fearful, angry, depressed, confused, hurt and pained behind closed doors in their own homes. We just don't see it.

    To all of the comments who have talked about the idea of suicide/depression.
    I’m no philosopher nor am I a therapist.
    From the words of a 23 year old broke college student, you haves to find a way to be happy. You have to find a way no matter what. It took me an uncomfortable amount of time to figure out how, but I did. I did it my way. If by god, you can’t find a way to be happy by exhausting/using all of your god given resources, then I wish you Godspeed. Find peace, solace, and love in what you do next.

      I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me he was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!
