all i can say is that i haven't lived my life so far the way i wanted.And i know that it's because of me and its noone elses fault.i have considered suicide may times but i know there is more to do in this life for me.
Wow! This reminds me so much of myself.

Firstly, don't judge yourself too harshly. When ur actions repeatedly go in vain, just observe ur -ve feelings rise & become more determined (mad!) than ever to bounce back.

About suicidal thoughts: Understand that they r never an option.
I know it might be mostly an impulsive urge borne out of frustration & feelings of helplessness & being trapped. But beware, & be very careful, these thoughts r dangerous. Never indulge them. If reasoning with yourself (by thinking soundly, logically & understanding ur mind) works 4 u then use the following reasons to dissuade such thoughts:

1. What do u do when some1 gifts u something nice (say a nice videogame console)...? Don't you express gratitude & enjoy the gift ?

Well, your life is a gift from your parents.
A gift like no other; that makes you experience this lifetime. So, understand that u need to be grateful to your parents 4 this wonderful gift & enjoy it to the max!

2. Just imagine 4 a second, what if u r meant to undergo all these experiences (especially the troublesome ones) in order to truly touch other ppl's lives in a great way ? Wouldn't it be a great loss to all of us, if u continued thinking such thoughts of despair ? So, just continue to hang in there with an open mind abt such a thing happening...(u never know when, u've just got to keep waiting & u'll see how u can use urself & all of ur experiences to help others one day)

I can tell u from personal experience, that if u r persistent & really want it, progress is certain (just might not initially be @ the pace u'd like).
Don't know if this applies to u, but if u feel bad being judged unfavorably by others then gradually start believing that only ur own judgement of urself really matters...& u'll always judge urself well coz u know u r good!

I would really appreciate if you could give me some advice on how to start from zero,put goals in my life and start working for them
This is something that I'm working on too (well maybe slightly higher than zero in my case)...so I expect to see a fellow adventurer join the quest. We can get in touch through messages & brainstorm ideas, what say u ?

If I've probably said a lot more than what u needed to hear, please ignore the excess. I only have the best intentions in mind!
Stay tough & hang in there, scorpionpm!

Remember, the human spirit has infinite potential; no fall is too deep to recover from!
