The World Is Out To Get Me
I have overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, loneliness and sadness. I almost tried to commit suicide. I just feel like the world is out to get me, and that every time I try to get happy it just likes pushing me down. This has been going on for awhile now. Every since my best friend committed suicide.
 
I saw him three hours before he did it. I was over at his house, and he told me to stay. All I did was walk away. Now I feel like I am the one to blame for him dying. I could have stayed and made sure he was safe.

I just don't know what to do anymore, and that is why I contacted you as a last resort effort. Please I just need someone to care.

You are very wise to reach out for help. It is definitely not your fault that your friend committed suicide. That is a very tragic choice that your friend made. You experience the pain and suffering left from his decision. It is important that you make a promise to yourself that you will not do anything to harm yourself or end your life.

If you feel you cannot keep that promise we encourage you to contact 911 for help or call us (1-800-448-3000).at the hotline immediately. Suicide is not an option to resolve your depression. There is a lot of help we can find for you and it all begins with you reaching out like you did today.

Sincerely,
Grant
