I Don't Want To Live Anymore

<div class="ExternalClassA91C2CCB2B8D491CB8CD0E89539C8B8F">I don't want to live anymore. I don't have the textbook symptoms of depression. I just don't want to live anymore. I have no friends. No one likes me. I'm probably not going to do anything significant in this world. It's not worth living anymore. I just want someone to talk to and figure out what's wrong with me. </div>

<div class="ExternalClass048A14DAC17F4A4B858A94B0983C4975">Thank you for reaching out for help today when you are struggling as much as you are.

We can always be a resources for you when you are feeling this way so that you don't have to go through it alone. Depression comes in many shapes and sizes. Some people will experience stereotypical symptoms where many others will not. It is very possible that you are feeling depressed without expressing the typical symptoms of depression. Regardless, it is a good idea to talk to someone about how you are feeling. You already have mentioned needing someone to talk to and a counselor is a great resource for both of these feelings: depression and suicide. If you would like some help finding counselors in your area, you can give us a call and we can find therapists in your area.We encourage you to tell someone how you are feeling. It is so important for others to know exactly what is going on so they can better help you. A few good options of people to talk to include a parent, adult relative, or counselor (at school or on your own). Without you telling these people exactly how bad things have gotten for you, they won't know how or when to best help you.
