I feel so suicidal right now.

Sending love and warm feelings to u op please dont take permanent measures to solve temporary problems, you will see better days bro

Those feelings shall pass bro

I love you man. Keep your head up

I lost the girl that saved my life on my birthday.

She was my girlfriend. I’ve been struggling with severe depression and anxiety. I’ve been taking antidepressants but sometimes I feel so low that I want to get high. The comedown made me cry uncontrollably for nearly an hour. She was the only person in my life I could truly talk to. Now she’s gone:

I’ve been in almost your exact same position, anti depressants and all. Anxiety so bad I couldn’t leave the house at times, depression extremely bad as well

The girl I had at the time felt like my “rock”, the only one who could calm me down or make me feel good.

She left me one night after 5 years and never came back.

It was some of the lowest times of my life, and I remember feeling exactly how you describe

I know it sounds cliche but time heals all. Now I have a girlfriend that 10000000x better than her, something I never thought would happen

In the meantime, I would suggest:

• hanging with friends as much as possible,

• working out 3-5 times a week (this seriously helped me and brought me out of my sadness. Started to look mad good and felt super confident). <- this is probably the most effective solution

• finding a hobby to invest your other free time into. For me, it was music production

I know all that advice sounds super cliche and it seems like it won’t work or it will never get better, but trust me, it does

Thank you to everyone that replied in this thread! Honestly, thank you! I have no one to talk about my mental health. I lost my therapist due to issues ongoing at my university.

It will be hard for me not to love her because of what she did to me. I never had a gf before her. She showed me what true love was; she accepted me as i was despite knowing all of the negative things about me. she brought me out of an extremely dark period. for that, I will always care for her. I want to move past this.

Thank you for the advice. I will try my best to keep myself as productive as I can.

I just want to thank God for saving my life. I easily could have died in 2019 but, by some divine miracle, he introduced me to my now ex. I wish for her nothing but prosperity and success. I WOULD NOT BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW if it wasn't for her. She's the greatest friend i'll ever have. I hope she has an amazing life for all the things she did for me.

Look bro. Trust me when I say I been where you were once. If people don’t wanna stay around for the bad times, then f*** em.

Don’t take your life over some jawn bro. Just breathe with me man. I’m another person across the world breathing with you rn b.

Life gets hard sometimes but there’s always a silver lining and I promise you that. Don’t do it over a thot

It's gonna take time to get over her OP. Depression is a tough thing to deal with, but don't let it take over. Take care of your mental health, see a therapist if needed. Call a suicide prevention line and just talk with someone to vent. Venting to someone irl by itself can relieve a lot of built up negativity.

You can’t be dependent on other people like that bro. Sad that you have to experience it like this, but it is what it is.You need to focus on yourself now. You are still here because you realized there’s things worth living for. And even if that specific “thing” isn’t in your life anymore, you have to find it in yourself. You alone are the “thing” worth living for. You don’t live for other people, you live for yourself. It sure is hard but you have to take care of yourself.

And if you’re actually genuinely grateful for her help, don’t throw it all away now by falling into the same circle you were once in. Try to keep your head up and walk up this road step by step, until you see another light shining. There’s always gonna be one waiting for you, no matter where you go. Because it is in yourself, not in other people. Those other people just might show you where it was hiding, but it’s most definitely there.

Sending you strength fam!

Seriously

It took letting my older sister vent to me to realize how helpful it is to just vocalize whats wrong.

When ur talking to someone else its like laying it out for yourself too

when u stay contained to your thoughts, its just scrambled pain, but when u let it out its a lot more linear and the problems seem more digestible @Viib

thank you for this!

Thank you bro!

Thank you bro!
