This is probably an immensely stupid thing to say.

Fuck off 9, have a little sympathy for a comrade going through bad times.

I can completely relate to that rage and loneliness man. Just remember it won't last forever, at least, not unless you give up

Presumably having the cops at his door would make his life a bit worse.

[manic expression]

Hang in there...I've been in the same situation before and I'll be there again, but you have to believe in yourself. You can't depend on other people to make you happy, it's tough sometimes but it's true. I hope you feel better.

oh shit.

[ContrarianLemming]

Regardless of how bad you feel, know that everyone else probably feels just as bad, or has in the past.

[Amphictyonis]

oh shit.

Well, just because True Blood season is over not to fret- it will be back next year ;) I actually thought Eric was going to die in the last episode. I'm kinda leaning in favor of him over Bill. True Blood is entertaining. Life can be entertaining if you want it to be. You're in control of that, not anyone else.

[ellipsis]

Hang in there social, you've made a friend with me.

i would not be depress over a fucking show.

try to focus on the good things in your life or do things that make you happy or just start some new hobbies. read a good book, take a long walk, meditate, learn an instrument. things will get better and there's all kinds of ways to pass the long stretches when they're rough.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

There aee people you can talk to, there are numbers you can call. Do this.
I would have to agree with 9. While many of us have felt this way, I have felt this way at times, it is still an immensley stupid thing to say. Cut the shit. There are people here you can PM if you feel bad.

[IndependentCitizen]

I struggle to make friends too, so you're not the only one. Your mother's boozing again? Why not hide the alcohol, and say it's for her own safety.

PM me if you fancy a small chat man, I'll be willing to help.

Cops have picked me up twice for suicidal related issues, for my own well being.

[RED DAVE]

I am not in a good mood, i try to make friends but i make enemies instead and my mom is acting with the booze again, now i understand the justification of teen suicideThis may help: start a diary. It's good to write stuff down at the moment and then look at it a few hours or days later when the mood lifts. I know it can be very rough sometimes when you are young and have serious problems.

I hate to suggest this because it can cause more problems than it solves, but with regard to your mom's drinking, have you tried Al-Anon? It can help.

How about you go away? Jesus Christ, someone reaches out to us and you tell him to "cut the shit". That's not cool.

Red Next Door, I've gone through a couple major depressive episodes. They really fucking suck. You need to get through it though, and when you do you'll be glad that it's over and it's a good feeling.

Also, it sounds like a dumb solution but I sometimes go jogging when I feel really down. It makes you think of nothing which can be really good, and be a bit meditative. Especially if you have an mp3 player that you can listen to music on.

it gets better

[black magick hustla]

dont die trust me it is better to feel that you want to die than being dead

Just so its clear, my comment wasn't regarding the OP's statement about teen suicide. Originally, before it said 'teen suicide', it said something else (relating to large scale violence, let's just say), which is why I recommended that he change the comment for security reasons, at which point he changed it to say 'teen suicide'.

Just sayin.

Fair enough.

Whatever problems you have, however low you feel, things will get better. Your problems are temporary, but if you take your life you'll never have the chance to get through them. I'm a good listener if you need someone to chat to, so feel free to send me a PM :)

[Lyev]

Yes, I agree, there are plenty, plenty of amiable folks here you can chat to. I feel satisfied knowing there are people here that are conscience of, and empathetic to, other users problems. So you have our support (although I guess I can't speak for everyone). Some advice that was given to me once was it helps to take up a hobby, or start writing a book, go running or cycling, or to, as Dave said, maybe start to catalogue your thoughts and problems and worries or something like that. Sometimes I just like to go for a walk, and sit with my own company for a while, idk though, it's highly personal thing. But anyway, sometimes sitting feeling sorry yourself, even though getting up and doing something productive is absolutely the last thing you feel like doing, it will feel much much better afterwards. As regards socializing and making friends, I guess a smile goes a long way, but also don't try too hard.

I know how you feel. This shit isn't easy to deal with, but if you just keep your head up and fight through it, you'll be glad. Use the anger to motivate yourself to do new things, learn new stuff, whatever -- the one good thing about hitting the bottom emotionally is that you can build yourself back up however you want.

Try to find something you can pour your feelings into. Personally, I write music. Whether it's working out, making art, or whatever else, finding a way to release the pain and put it into something will help.

Best of luck. It can take time to get through this shit, but you will do it.

I didn't really think you were. I was trying to lighten your mood. You're not the only human being that's experienced depression- you have no monopoly on suffering kid. I brought up the show to find common ground in order to start up a conversation. One thats already gone south :)

Hey man, if it makes you feel any better, some Neo-Nazi/White Supremacists offed themselves recently in Alabama or some shit like that? (Cheered me up a bit.) I think it's much better to let the Right off themselves, rather than a Leftist Revolutionary.

sorry.

[thriller]

I know what it's like to have loved ones with addiction problems, sorry to hear about it. I see you're an artist, I'm a musician myself. I've found that with most creative/left brained people, your best work comes from time when you feel like shit. Pick up the paint brush (or whatever medium you use) and just fucking go crazy. I do that on my double bass, and it usually helps after a day or two of just pouring all my shit out.

on.

As I've mentioned, I've been though this myself.I was using the technique my therapist used with me. I was being a bit hardnosede, it may sound callous but I was doing it out of compassion. The idea is to break someone out of that type of thought spiral, get someone out of thinking about themselves.Show people they have a lot to live for.

A few weeks ago I was concerned about another RevLeft member. I literally couldn't sleep for 2 nights.. Sometimes a kick in the butt is what someone needs. I hope people didn't misuderstand m,y intent.

[Summerspeaker]

Life's a horrible place, isn't it? For me, the positive things to come from the suffering are connections with others who are hurting and firmer commitment to revolution. There's no good reason for unpleasantness we all experience. As a species, we can do much better.

I have deep doubts about calling the authorities on suicidal people. I've done it before and it wasn't fun. (I only wanted medics but of course I got cops too. They threatened to taze and then institutionalized the person briefly.)

[ellipsis]

hope you feeling better about things comrade social.

[Reznov]

As it has been said, you got fellow comrades here.

I'm not sure how much a random person on an online itnernet forum can provide comfort but, hang in there mate.

Life sucks and gets all of us, just keep roughing it out and you'll get through it.

And I just realized I hate reading this little stay strong messages when your having a hard time, but when you get by it you end up liking them.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I've been feeling pretty bad lately, too. Not depressed, necessarily, just really sad about the direction my life is heading. I hate my present (even though I don't have it bad at all in the grand scheme of things), and I don't see how the future is going to be any better. Adding to this is the fact that I have very little in the way of money, and I can't stand grovelling before employers for a minimum-wage job that I know I'm going to hate (which I literally did today). I'm usually pretty good at eating shit and keeping my mouth shut when it comes to employers, though, so I don't see why no one wants to hire me. :rolleyes: I just feel worthless in general.

Sounds like you need to find the joys in the little things in life again. A friend, a lover, a good cup of coffee on a rainy day, great works of art, etc...

Remember that worth is not determined by your bank account, your job, your clothes, or what people think of you. Worth is determined by you. You are in charge so get out of your head and into the world. ;)

I guess so, but that stuff won't put food on the table or money in my pocket, chanowutimean?

I do. My perspective is that you seem knowledgeable enough to know how to get a job and which job could work for you to earn at least some income. It seemed like you simply didn't want to do it for understandable reasons so I was approaching it from another angle.

Just thinking you might need to take your mind off the hardships of being a working class person in this country in order to put a new perspective on this very reality.

In spite of what people say, your life won't just get better. You have to make it better. Waiting around for it to get better is like hanging on a noose in silence hoping someone else will come and cut you down. Seek help from people, making this thread was a first step. Talk to people, seek professional help if you want. Don't wait until a point where you need help so badly that you hurt yourself or do something crazy to get the attention you need, actively get it preemptively before something like that happens. However, ultimately it is entirely up to you to confront your problems. Systematically break down what it is that is causing you to feel this way, devise a way to confront and hopefully solve those problems, and then enact it. Don't try to tackle this holistically, that will most likely just overwhelm you and make things worse. Doing this is infinitely easier when you have the help of other people, but it ultimately is still something you need to do.
