Its good you are willing to help people. We need more people like you in this world.

That's a very good message. I also enjoy helping people and am always willing to talk to anyone who is suicidal.I know how it feels to feel that way, like you have nobody in the world who understands you or even cares.

Yeah I'll try and help as well.
I like helping, or at least trying to.

can all help me then!

i hate my life and all i seem to think about at the moment is jumping off a cliff or in front of a bus...

i wake up in the mornings and cant get out of bed and i cry sometimes for no reason what so ever.

Your Wrong.
People who want to commit suicide; many DON'T have perfectly good lives at all.
You blaints haven't been through severe depression, experienced self harming, councillors, psychiatrists before....And if you have; then shame on you for saying you understand. Because it sounds like you don't.
Now I'm not saying you are wrong for wanting to help, but your wording is way out. I am very happy for you leading a good life and not having the urge to kill yourself, but maybe until you understand suicide better, then you can offer better advice?

I used to think like you. I used to wonder why anyone would want to hurt themselves. THen it happened to me. Now I can appreciate why people want to do it. Now I understand what drives people to it.

It's great that you want to help people. But the best advice comes from a 'Been there, done that, got the mouse-mat' person...

Well they might'n have perfect lives but they have lives that are better then others, just as how there is always going to be someone better then you there is also going to be someone worse then you. I was of the nerdy self pitying people, I thought my life was horrible but I met worse people, including an ex-gf (I won't go into details but it sounds like hell compared to me)

You are such a nice person
There should be more people like you in the world

I'm here if anybody needs to talk.
I am a "been there, done that" type. I deal with depression, ive self harmed, I've been thru some stuff that most haven't, and tho I acknowledge that others may have been thru worse, I still think I may be able to help.
Feel free to pm or hit me up on AIM or whatever. I'm a pretty good listener...

Same with me.
If anyone needs to talk to me I am always willing to listen. Iv been through a lot over the past few years, but I am here to help. No matter how big or small you problem is. I may not be able to understand exactly how your feeling but I can relate as a sufferer of depression and ocd. Feel free to PM me

Sounds nice...

Hey, just wanted to comment on how great it is that you're willing to offer your time to help a couple people out...tinhead has a bit of a point though.

When I was/am depressed, the best advice comes from someone who can really relate with what you're feeling at the time because they've been there before. My friends and I have built a bit of a support group with each other...because we're all people who've been into hell and back and continue to do so...and theres no stronger, better, feeling that theres been people who've been there too.

Good on you for offering help - make sure the majority of time is just, listening and relating though. Optimism by the listener tends to be shut down pretty quickly.

good on ya mate
