They say it takes courage to live. If I only had that much courage to pull the trigger.

There is only two repost allowed, the suicide hotline and that gif:
Manhoarder
Tmw you call and it says number not in service in your country, gg.
SirBrendan
As much as I support the message.....I can't tolerate a repost--downvoted
renegadeKid

Exoskull
Hang on, nice choice of words
hopesolosbutth0le

juanchits
This has become just a way to collect some internet points.
MazelJew92
I never repost! Even if the fate of humanity depended on it!
andachairaswell
Beyond blue for all my fellow australians on here. 1300224636 aussies get sad sometimes too.
SwashbucklingForJustice
Ah yes, flooding image sharing sites with random hotline information. Excellent use of everyone's time.
madetheaccountjustforyou
Your slacktivism will accomplish nothing but giving you an undeserved good feeling.

Turn that depression into anger. go to the gym get fit, and make your life better. The sith code can improve your life.
DiscoLem0nade
Trying to help yourself to some Internet points!
flamingflamingo
Why are anti-suicide measures getting to the front page every few hours? Are you guys feeling depressed?
codekeeper
Why do I get the feeling this is the new method of upvote whoring or virtue signalling? My apologies if I'm wrong, but this shows up a lot.
SirBrendan
People focus on altruism in a weird way. Like, are you concerned their egos will trick them into propagating useful and healthy agendas?
conquest
no but it's spam at this point.
sourcandy
Honestly who cares. A repost like this got me to call.
JPDennis
While you were calling a hotline, I was studying the blade
Naetron
Smoke some pot. You'll most likely not kill yourself after.
TankEngineer
stop shilling for points, you don't actually care, you're just posting this for fake internet points.
HEXADECIMAL
That's like helping the poor for fame, the poor still get helped.

This the point we've gotten to? Good god this place is full of thirsty people...
laurynz
Please refer to your own comment history. You are the definition of thirsty.
feb29thismycakedaylol
Lol sounds great...

Also cris">t.org">crisischat.org or imalive.org if you'd prefer to chat rather than talk on the phone. You're not alone in this!

Commenting for future reference. Thank you :)

You're welcome!

Suicide is good for earth, if someone wants to kill themselves they have every right to do so.
SirBrendan
Everyone, watch out! There's a very edgy teenager here, and the slightest kind sentiment could set him off.
SirBrendan
Oh fuck, we're too late: he found out about Nietzsche!
PowderedToastMans
I am the abyss.
Shredduh7
Where's the hotline that supports suicidal people in achieving their goal... Of committing suicide.
ryanparten
If I didn't know any better I would think every other person on Imgur was suicidal
BabyTink
I called a therapist today...baby steps right..?
BoopusMcSquishy
That's not a baby step bro, that's an adult step.
dgostah
Definitely not a baby step. One of the hardest things I've ever done was seek professional help.
andachairaswell
You fucking ledgend.
ihatemyusernamesoimadeitobnoxiouslylong
Dude! Baby steps are still steps! I'm proud of you. Keep this up you are gonna get better soon. :)
AfRoSaUcE
Massive congratulations, this is a great first step! Therapy will absolutely help.
virtualLacey
The biggest step for me was admitting it, then finding the therapist was so much easier! You're on the right track!!
HappiestBear
Even if it's the smallest steps in the world, you'll eventually reach your destination
bitchesbelikeheyyyyyy
Therapy saved me and changed my life. Good for you, OP!
TheHumbugPrincess
Where is the texting version of this? I think I need it tonight.
aryasnark
Also crisis text line (text 741741 in the US)
CongratulationsIm100YearsOld
cris">t.org">crisischat.org or imalive.org from @aryasnark comment
aryasnark
Thanks for adding this here!
BobMcboberson
IF I SEE ONE MORE REPOST OF THIS I'M ENDING IT ALL!

OhCommentMyComment
If I was suicidal, the last thing I would do is call a suicide hotline. I've been on antidepressants for 5 years, just being honest.
jaydawgx7
I fear I'd be placed on hold which may speed up the process.... Also I think they need an easier number to dial
theraja92
This being the top comment definitely doesn't help either. The hotline also does help direct you to the proper doctors, providers etc.
IHateMyselfMoreThanAnyone
Truly depressed people no longer care what family thinks, let alone random strangers on a phone. Its a basic feeling of wanting to be wanted
IHateMyselfMoreThanAnyone
The only reason I'm still here is I sent a text to the wrong person, and they responded to let me know they hate me for what I was doing.
SaharaHeart
I called a hotline once when I was bad and they put me on hold before even talking to me. Fucked up but funny
whiskeyandcigarettes
It's the idea of someone of the other side that will be able to point you in the right direction. The idea that someone cares about you.1/2
whiskeyandcigarettes
I have suffered for years and antidepressants don't do fuck all other than leave you more a vegetable. But it's having some listen.
OhCommentMyComment
I don't need someone to listen, I'm tired of venting and I don't find it constructive personally.
missbelled
What do you find constructive? You can probably find a therapist who's down. Friend of mine had plate-smashing sessions. Whatever works.
kronikreefer
Id be more pit off by it in case they try to get you institutionalized
MinisterofToques
... attempted suicide and couldn't get institutionalized! (2/2)
cmererightmeow
I've had to before. Hearing another person tell you your life matters is encouraging.
shaks921
Meh I'd just discard it as someone saying what I want to hear without meaning it and carry on anyways.
madetheaccountjustforyou
But how the hell would they know that? They are a stranger. They can't possibly know you matter, or even that you make the world better.
cmererightmeow
Maybe. But everyone matters to someone.
jodge14
Maybe a hotline call would help, maybe it wouldn't, but seeing your comment just helped me more than you will ever know. I screenshot it.
cmererightmeow
Fuck somebody started cutting onions in here
OhCommentMyComment
I just get disheartened knowing that's their job, they'll never meet me. I know they care, but a stranger can only do so much.
MatrimBloodyCauthon
:( I'd meet you. And give you a hug. If you were in CT. Which statistically is unlikely. Hang in there!
COSami
Can I get a hug? Not in CT, but close (NY)
GeezPeopleGetYourLivesTogether
I did a bit of volunteer work talking to people with depression online and more than telling them that they matter or that I care 1/2
GeezPeopleGetYourLivesTogether
I always found it more helpful to have them use their own thoughts and feelings to convince themselves that they matter. It's tough 2/3
GeezPeopleGetYourLivesTogether
But definitely works better as a long term solution. It takes a lot of time and probing questions that call centers can't always handle 3/3
strawbericoklat
Does it get better?
AfRoSaUcE
You have to want it to be better, even if things don't seem better. Your outlook plays a part but I don't doubt there's serious pain.
AfRoSaUcE
Best of luck, and message me if you ever need to vent.
strawbericoklat
I started medication again after a year trying convince my self I wasn't depressed. I'm feeling quite okay right now.
AfRoSaUcE
That's good. I started lightly taking medication and I do feel better usually. I'm glad you're feeling better.
dgostah
For me, yes. Depressed and suicidal for 10 years, got on meds that work and I see a psychologist once a month.
StephNugs
Honestly? No. Unless you actively try to change things, you'll always be miserable. Hell, I still am.
virtualLacey
For me it's slowly gotten better after getting on the right meds but it's still a constant battle & worry of losing any progress I've made
OhCommentMyComment
For me personally, it hasn't really gotten better. I've just learned how to deal with the general apathy for everything better.
CollegeDowntime
I called one too and I feel the same way every single day. If you could let me know how you deal with it, I could use some advice.
basicbetch
I know i'm just a stranger on the internet ..but consider doing some therapy paired with the antidepressants. It'll help change your outlook
OhCommentMyComment
I've done the combo on and off all of college. I guess I just haven't met the right therapist.
ThroughTheFireAndTheFlamesOnExpert
My community college offers 8 free sessions for all students, it really helped me. Especially because the sessions are with people close 1/2
