help ? ( like mental help )
| Seeking professional help is just the best thing to do. It's really something most people don't get. Try therapy for a session or two, talk your heart out and I'm sure you'll get better <3
| Have sex and have fun.

right now I can't get that kind of help, but thanks anyways

I don't think i'm getting it anytime soon.
| You really ought to find some time to be alone and just let loose of those emotions. Like, when I feel really bad, sometimes, I'll just lay on my bed and cry for hours. But afterwards I'll feel A LOT better and can carry on w/ my life.
It sounds ridiculously counter-productive to make time for something like that, but in the long run it's way more effective than just bottling it all up.
But yeah, get therapy if you can, op.
| >>605016 there is masturbation, playing games, reading manga in all your spare time, listening to upbeat music and talking to random strangers about your interests ala Reddit or any other discussion board.

Why is that? Because seeking professional help is pretty important when battling with suicidal thoughts since it's a downward spiral that people doesn't tend to get out of alone. Is it a financial issue? In some countries(like northern European ones) you can get a free therapist with just a phonecall.
| A while back I read a post on some old forum that helped me alot. Now, all I can share is a poor paraphrase and the take away. It went something like this:
So you're at the end of your rope. You wish for death and have nothing to lose. Good! Now you can start living. Go on an adventure, save up and go skydiving, climb a mountain, whatever. What's the worst that could happen? You die? Ha! That's where you're at already. Might as well go out in an ice skating accident. Go for it!

Yes. Op, you should really do anything you can to get professional help. While working on yourself and all that shit certainly is important, it will get you nowhere without proper outside help, which you can only really get from a professional. Going to therapy helps me a lot, and my life would either have ended or been completely ruined by now if I had started therapy.
Even if you're just regularly calling some hotline you found, you should do it. It's really important.

i can't because i don't feel very comfortable speaking of my emotions and feeling with other people, and i usually don't have the time to go to one.
>>605080
good advice, and nice post too.
>>605081
maybe i'll try the hotline one this monday, thanks for the idea.
| In situations like dis I usually get shitfaced, cry, and feel much better after that.
| Try and pick up an instrument. If you want something cheap and easy to learn, try an ocarina. Learn play a sad song. A song so you can express how you feel. But when you learn it, take pride in having learned the song!

If you don't do it you won't get help. Nobody is comfortable talking about how they feel and shit. I try to be as honest as possible but even I have a lot of things I still feel uncomfortable with sharing and haven't done it yet, but that only makes me feel worse. Just go get help. If you don't you'll never get better.
| >>605194 It's understandable that you don't feel comfortable talking about your feelings, but trust the random stranger that I am : You should really see a professional. Once you start realizing that he's just a professional, it'll get easier to share your feelings with him/her. And you might realize that sometimes, having someone to share those feelings with is a big help. It's hard to carry everything by yourself.
In any case, Good luck OP <3

| there are some times when I feel overwhelmed by sadness and just want to stand there crying all day, while having seriously suicidal tho/u/ghts, however, because of my current situation I can't afford to have those feelings, so I just try and supress those and almost all emotions, in a effort to make my situation better.
however, recently I became aware of the inefficiency of that method, and im searching for a better way of dealing with that.
any help would be greatly accepted. <3
