I really wanna die :(

I agree with a lot of people on this thread, first of all, don't do any thing irrational. Suicide is just a permanent solutin to a temporary problem, you must agree with me that there was once a time when you were happy. I'd say go release some stress and tension by doing whatever makes you happy, I suggest go running like someone said, it helps a lot. It makes you think about life and other aspects of your life. So don't do anything you might regret.

I'm your age, I might be able to relate to you so if you ever want to talk, just drop me a PM anytime ok (*8*)
 
I don't know you so all I can do is blindly toss out ideas.

It may be that the lobotomy feeling came on gradually as a result of the many moves and relationships that were begun and then ended, a survival mechanism to keep you from being overwhelmed with the kind of grief we feel when relationships end. You're talking about an incredibly vulnerable period of our lives --teen years-- which also is when our social skills and ability to relate to others, ourselves and the world around us matures (or, when things go wrong, deform) pretty rapidly.

I believe if there's a disconnect between our life and our feeling it, the disconnect is within ourselves. And I believe that disconnect happened as a result of something our system interpreted as a trauma we had to survive. Locating the cause can be difficult, and even when we've figured out what happened, rewiring our mechanism from survival mode to normal takes a while and can be frustrating, but the good news is all the answers are within ourselves.
 
I think that possibly the realisation that you were gay at the age of 14 could have triggered off a chain event of negative thinking patterns from then on, which has just developed into a bad habit? Since nobody around you at that time picked up on it and helped you come to terms with your anxieties about being gay, the wiring in your brain has now become set in this particular way? The longer you were left in this train of thought without support and guidance, the worse it got and the harder it will now be to correct resulting in your current mindset?
 
You're a 19 year old kid. Life cannot be that bad. You are having some self esteem issues which explain the hooking up and the subsequent guilt. Please be careful and don't engage in dangerous sex with stangers.

Depression is something that some folks fight for years. We understand a great deal about depression nowadays. I've been to therapy and took some Effexor. It helped, but you have to work at it to get better.

Don't give up on life. Death is so permanent. I truly believe that every life has value. Please, talk to somebody and if that doesn't work, talk to somebody else until you find someone who helps.
 
Well it happened around the time when I moved to a small town and I didn't make any real friends (I was also starting to think I was gay). It made me sad, but the lobotomy feeling happened a little later. I just started feeling really emotionally numb. However I've moved a lot during my life and felt sad a lot, but never like I've had a lobotomy. But I have real friends now and I accepted being gay a while ago, and the feeling won't go away. I don't see how knowing what triggered this will help the frontal lobotomy feeling go away, 'cause it's still here. The only time it feels like it's gone is when I'm dreaming, but then I wake up and realize it was just a dream.

Sometimes I think that maybe the place I live is just really shitty compared to where I used to live, and that's why I feel like I have a lobotomy. But recently I visited a place where I lived when I was a kid, and the feeling didn't go away. Everything looked the same as I remember, but it just didn't feel the same. It's as if it was a parallel universe version of what I knew when I was little. So that's when I knew for sure that something changed inside me. And I still don't know how to reverse it.


Here's a fact: You can't reverse the way your life unfolds.

Here's another fact: You can always change the way how your life unfolds.

Not to say I'm very religious. But I do believe in fate. At the same time, I do believe in Law Of Attraction(L.O.A). Its a Law, so you can't really deny it. It applies to all of us all the time. Its a very very very big subject to cover. However, here's some basic things you need to know.

The the LOA states: You will get whatever you put your energy & focus to.

Notice that it doesn't say you get whatever you wish?

Question to you is: What energy are you sending to the Universe?

The Universe does not respond to whatever you thought or whatever you will think. It responds to whatever you feel at the present moment. Have you noticed that when you think about a person and you have the feeling of meeting with him (joy or sad), eventually that person will give you a call or you meet him at a party or mall. That's how LOA responds to your thought. It does not care wheather you like it or not. As long as you think and focus & put energy towards that thing, you'll get it. Notice how you keep typing and I assume you did that with full of emotions and feeling on how to express you current situation. Trust me, its not going to get better if that's how you keep feeling.

Here's another good news: You don't have to think how LOA going to make your desire come true, infact, it doesn't make sense at all to have that Ferrari or strike a lottery based on your current financial situation(for instance). It will bring you whatever you focus and give energy too. You just have to know about the what and let LOA do the how.

I suggest you get hold of the Book Law Of Attraction by Michael Losier. He makes LOA easy to understand and he teaches you how to apply it in your daily life. I would say, Practical and logical Michael Losier towers all sucessful authors on Law Of Attraction. You simply have to read one before you die in order to really enjoy the true meaning of life.
 
Oh Wildcat, i agree with noelie, there is a reason you are feeling these sad thoughts, it's just that no one has figured out what that is yet. i don't know how many prescriptions the doctor has tried for you or how many doctor's you've seen. i would at least try another doctor. doctor's all get similar training, but most have very different ways of trying to help people. drugs might not be the best thing for you if they are not working. is it just your current doctor that isn't willing to let you try the shock treatments? i don't know anything about them, if they work or not, so maybe that is why your doctor doesn't want you to use them. he doesn't think they are effective. you could try finding a shock treatment clinic (i guess they are clinics?) and see if they will evaluate you on their own and see if you are or are not a "good candidate."

please don't kill your self. i don't know you, but i'm already sitting here and tearing all up because i don't want you to do it. it's so final and there could still be things out there that will help you.

we'll miss you here i can assure you. if i could i'd hug you now.

Wildcat, you'd be surprised the painful memories your brain "buries" in order to protect itself. I'd recommend seeing a good therapist. Mine's good and we're working things out.

Also, my father's side of the family is known for depression, it's in the genes. Maybe that's the case with you. Is there any family history of bipolar/depression?

Weather and environment can play a huge factor as well. I know that during the winter months, I have much less energy, and I'm more down and out compared to the summer. You said that you've felt depressed since you moved to a new town. Is it crappier compared to where you used to live?

And finally, I've realized that I've raised shields around myself to protect myself from being hurt, but at the same time, these shields prevent me from getting close to someone, or expressing anything more than moderate laughter or emotion. Kind of the same deadpan, "lobotomy" feeling you've described. You have to be willing to make yourself "vulnerable" in order to connect. Perhaps you're missing that connection?

Find a good therapist, who you find easy to talk to in an honest manner (honesty is a big key). If he's just a egotistical idiot with a degree, keep looking for another person. When I found a therapist, I knew he was "ok" and I could open up and spew out every little thing on my mind. The guy is down to earth, friendly, and on my side.
 
I understand what you mean, Cirdan, its just that form my experience, it takes a lot of time (and money) to find if a therapist is on your side...
