I feel there is nothing left for me, I was searching for new methods to kill myself when I came across this web site and I appreciate the support I have found here. I have tried to find positives and I know suicide is not the answer but it feels like it is my only option. I can’t seem to find my way out of this funk I am in. I have tried to get help and have been through mental health service and therapists. I have tried online counselling and support groups. I have tried various techniques to ward off the blues also. Many support groups I have found outside of here are very superficial and only offer band aid solutions. I can’t talk to anyone in my life because no one wants to know heck even my therapist fobs me off if I even mention suicide. I want to talk about it, take it out of the shadows.
Nothing left

Hi @Lily16 . I'm sorry you feel so empty right now. If I can make a suggestion, don't stop mentioning suicide to your therapist. If possible, I'd change them... but if not, you should persevere. Tell them it's important enough for you.
Also, no one wants to know in your life? Is that something they said? Because depression convinces us of that for sure, but most people would like to know. Just like you would listen to a friend if they felt this bad. It doesn't have to be everyone, it doesn't have to be that detailed, it can build progressively if you want it to... You are in control of what you say, and if you make sure they're comfortable enough by telling them what (not) to do (because they're not omniscient, perhaps it's the first time of their lives someone tells them something like that and it's not easy, but it can be entirely healthy for all), and tell them that you don't necessarily want to say all of it, I think they'll respect that and be glad you told them.
Of course, you can also talk to us, anytime. Always someone to listen. Don't stop.

Nothing is easy. I too have had a rough life. I know people who are worse off than me. People who have severe physical health probs. Some give up, some fight it out. You need to fight. I am doing the same. I hope be psychotherapy, deep breathing and water techniq intake will help me. Change your therapist ASAP. There are good ones.
