Qwerty, you are thinking about a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Please call the suicide hotline immediately: 1-800-SUICIDE and talk to a live human being who will listen to you and help you to get your thoughts into a positive spiral.

Okay? Please do it. I am pulling on my Bossy Boots here. Call them now.

I think it's important to remember that whatever pain you're feeling right now, it's only temporary. It may FEEL like it will last forever, but it won't. I've had some friends who had suicidal feelings at one point or other, and they all turned out OK. If you just hang on in there and get help, you're problems will eventually pass.

Change is one of the few constants I know as well.

Even if the situation causing pain can not change, how a person thinks and feels about that situation can not not change, over time.

If I can be of any help please let me know.

Qwerty,
Why such a long silence from your side. Please keep us updated about yourself. How's life going on? What are you doing currently? How are you feeling?

I think that what you are looking for is somebody to share your suffering with, rather than to actually kill yourself. But you feel guilty because you don't want to impose your "whining" on anybody else. So you passively drop hints that you are miserable, but otherwise exhibit no desire to discuss it or think about it, and you do your best to keep up appearances of not being depressed when you are around people.

At least this was my experience when I was depressed. I needed somebody to understand, to be able to do something. But I nobody seemed able to. So I wanted it all to end, but I couldn't let it because I knew there had to be something more. And there was. So don't give up, it's not worth giving up the wonderful life you could someday have just because your life right now seems unlivable. Find somebody positive to talk to, whether it's a friend or a relative or a councilor or all three.

You have no energy right now, so there are only two things that can pull you out of this: help and time. The more help you get, the less time it is likely to take for you to free yourself from this seemingly endless pointlessness. But even if you have no help at all, you will eventually get free; your mind will only be able to tolerate so much misery before it has to find a way out. You could kill yourself, and nobody can stop you if you really want to, but you know that there is another answer out there and that you want it. Remember, you can always die tomorrow, just try and live through today.
