Do you have a chat program or anything, or anyone local to talk to or be with? What started you feeling like this?

Of course, I have three chat programs and that is not one of them :( Sorry. I've got MSN, ICQ and AOL. What do you want to talk about? Nothing, even being lonely, is worth commiting suicide over. Sounds like such a cliche, but true.

So don't you have a local friend you can call and tell how you're feeling? What about the things that are worth living for? Pizza... kids giggling... sunny days... etc... that list goes on too.

no job so no money for pizza and it worries me to death when i eat it
chicago never has sun
kids giggling reminds me that i was always told to shut up if i giggled as a child - this is pathetic, but i always feel miserable when i see happy children. isnt that stupid? arent i stupid? and evil?no, there isnt a single person

Well, I'm here right now anyhow. So tell me about yourself a bit more. Besides the fact that you didn't have a great childhood (aparently), not many of us really did. I find it hard to beleive you don't have one friend there. I'm in Washington and although the weather was great this weekend, today it's back to yuck.

I didn't think you were complaining, just expressing why children giggling isn't a happy thing for you. I know that rule "Don't speak unless spoken too", and sounds like you might have been raised similar to that..?

Katt, I am so sorry you are feeling so bad. I have been in that dark place and I know how you feel. Try to hang on, I know right now it probably doesn't feel like things will get better, but they will. They always do. There are meds and doctors that can help, and if you get really bad you can go to a hospital. Stay here, keep talking. And your welcome to ramble about anything you want. Sometimes it just helps to get things off your chest.

Is there any health professional/therapist etc you can talk to?
I know helplines arent the same as having a supportive friend you already know, but they are there as an option too?
There's one in Chicago for people feeling suicidal which I found via a web listing: In-Touch Hotline
(312)996-5535 ,Hours: M-S 6PM-10PMThere's also a national hopeline network on 1.800.suicide (or 1.800.784.2433).
Do hang on in there, and use whatever routes of support you need- including us, of course. You arent alone.
