why is it that complete strangers freak out and try to help me when I tell that I want to end my life?

It seems as though you are crying out for help and people are just responding to the cry.  If you life is so bad, please check into the hospital and donate your liver to the person that is dying with out a transplant, as well as heart, lungs, eyes .... If you do not feel that you want to go on, please help those who want to and cherish the gift of life.  It cant be that bad.  Please get some help.... You were put on this earth for a reason.  Help someone.

Because a)everyone else is like a flock of sheep in the fact that they try to look, be, & act just like everyone else and don't care to form their OWN opinion on things b) a lot of these people get angry because they sometimes regret their own choices and wish they could be more like you & c)are codependant and could never imagine 'being alone' either now or when they get older. People are just nosy in general and it isn't any of their business. I have friends like you and have asked them the question of why not just out of curiosity though. I support & applaud your decision! Next time just make up something interesting like you saw the Exorcist and just didn't want to take that chance!

I think like you said you want to control your life, but the steps you are taking are not good for you, I think its time for you to see and speak to someone about what you are doing to yourself. When something bad happens to you try to make it worse to make you feel better I believe you explained very well of what your a feeling and doing to yourself.. please speak to someone you feel safe with and trust..please!!!!!

It's pretty much impossible to go through life without talking to strangers.  Whether it's meeting someone new or just asking for help, you'll eventually talk to strangers.

prior to meeting my girlfriend, i didnt give a shit about anything... i didnt care if i died... but i wasnt going to commit suicide either.\ni dunno... my life's alright if u try to ignore all the family pressure put on you... the pressure of trying to be what everyone wants you to be and see you as... if you dun care that your always the listener, but you never found someone who would be there to listen to you... so yeah...\nRight now... im livin for everyone who cares for me... and if i die... i would feel bad for making them upset (assuming that i would feel anything at all)...\n\nyeah yeah yeah... i heard it before... i know im weird

Because sometimes people are just so inconsiderate and they think thay can handle it. But in fact they can't. I pull over at times but sometimes when i have emergency calls I would jus talk on the phone, but i'll make it quick. I hope people are more considerate because they are not only putting their life in danger, but other people's life also!

perhaps you have a guilty conscience.  I don't think everyone, everywhere looks at you strangley.  People have much better things to do with their time.  You have anxiety.  You need professional help if you think that.

Except for a few lunatics, every one with the capacity to think knows that they will die eventually. For the most part people don't want to die now.\n\nThere are a lot of fears associated with death, starting with the fear that something terrible will happen and it will be painful, or that there will be a slow decline and you'll spend 10 years in a nursing home not knowing who you are.\n\nSo, not too many people are jumping up to volunteer.

Someone who seeks help is a stronger person than someone who thinks they have all the answers. If someone is going to judge you for seeking help then perhaps they've got their own issues to deal with.

usually these people are drunk, homeless, mentally ill or a combination of those.\ni just turn and hope they don't see me.

Ouch...it sounds like you have been having a really rough time.  The teens are hard, no doubt about it.  When my life crashed it came to a life and death situation, too.  I found that that is the time I was willing to call out to God for help.  I didn't leave it up to Him to help or not, it was an inner scream, "God, if you're really there, help me!" and He did. Ask Him...sometimes we are brought to these situations so that we WILL call on Him for help.  Some others think it's a crutch, but when you're desperate and only One can help it's not a crutch its a lifeline.  I'll keep you in prayer, too.

Maybe it's not paranoia, maybe we're all out to get you.\n\nYou should consult a counselor actually.

Well just the fact that he told you, means he is asking for your help. NO, NOT in doing it. In his head he wants to commit suicide, BUT in his heart he knows this is wrong and by telling you, he is actually asking for help. So I think the best thing to do is to get him some help. Call him up and ask that he meets you somewhere. And sit down and see if you can't get him to open up as to why. Maybe its a girlfriend thing where he just got dumped. Maybe it is more serious. But first find out why. And try to talk him into going to the hospital for some help/ Here in MA they have a crisis clinic. This is a place where people can walk in and get help. Since it is voluntarily done they can choose to walk out as well. BUT if an assessment has been made that there is some mental things going on they can commit him. BUT this is only if the session has gone that far into the game so to speak. AND if all else fails go to the POLICE who have access 24 / 7 to the proper professional medical help to prevent him from doing any harm to himself. GOOD LUCK and GOD SPEED.

Because life just isn't fair.  It seems that the slackers of the world do get the most help.  And it ticks me off, too!  Hang in there.....

Why are you asking for help when at the moment there are people in your country doing exactly what you want.\nTry helping the people who are trying to help YOU.\nand maybe then your country will not feel like hell.\nand if you are feeling like that JUST THINK how those people over in your country are feeling.\nThe sooner you start helping, the sooner you will have your country back to normal.

Hello again, it is good to see you are willing to speak in here. \n\nI know what you mean when you say your parents are not taking your serious! \n\nYour parents are saying things that are not useful and it's not because they don't love or care about you, it’s because they are not sure what to say to make you feel better straight away. \nParents can't help saying things like; "don't worry about that", or "you shouldn't be taking that so seriously", or "everyone will like you" "just be yourself and say hello" or "it's just a faze your going through" and "everything will be alright".\n\nParents find it hard to believe they don't understand their children; they hope they did a good job raising you to be a confident person. They are thinking back to when you were little and you made friends easily. They might even say “whatever happened to (little Susie)”; someone who you were friends with in grade 4 and haven't seen in 6 years. That's just the sort of things parents do when they get desperate, feel frightened, or run out of ideas.\n\nYOU NEED TO TALK TO YOUR MOTHER OR FATHER SEPARATELY AND ALONE.\n\nYOU NEED TO SAY “I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I FEEL THIS WAY BUT I DO” AND “TELLING YOU NOT THE WORRY ABOUT IT ISN'T HELPING YOU FEEL ANY BETTER” AND IF ANYTHING IT IS MAKING YOU FEEL MORE INADEQUATE. OR WHATEVER IT IS YOU NEED TO SAY.\n\nIF YOU’RE PARENTS ARE STILL UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND OR GIVE GOOD ADVICE; PLEASE MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR FAMILY DOCTOR; IF HE DOESN'T HELP DON'T BE SCARED TO TELL YOU DOCTOR TO WRITE A REFERRAL TO A PHYCOLOGIST OR PSYCHIATRIST.\n\nUNTREATED ANXIETY CAN BECOME A PROBLEM AS PHOBIA’S CAN BE LEARNT AND DEPRESSION WILL FOLLOW.
