I feel like I want to kill myself often. I don’t know how to stop it. I’ve gone to therapy and taken medication but it doesn’t help

Think of depression as any other health condition. It sucks but you have to manage it everyday. Learn your triggers. Some days will be worse than others, some days better. Don’t give up.

I’ve been dealing with depression since elementary. I have placed myself in a voluntary psychiatric hold at my worst. I can assure you, you can manage this and be happy again.

You can find hope in the words of Jesus.

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬ ‭ESV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/59/mat.11.28-30.ESV

For you, and analyst 1.

Because I have been suicidal, may I ask a few questions to you both:

1. Is the feeling more - "I wish I would cease to exist" or "this is how I will harm myself"?
2. If you were to cease who would you hurt? Parents, kids, spouse, pets, cousins, friends?
3. Do you have any good outlets in life? Are you lonely, overworked and just don't feel you have friends?
4. Do you hate yourself? Are you unhappy about one or more factors about yourself?

This community can't replace a therapist, and I'm glad you have professional help. But once we know more, we can share how we overcame those struggles. You'll be surprised how widespread your struggles are.

Happy to discuss these in DM as well.

Hugs and much love. You both are worthy.

I’m not friendly with medication but I think I might have to try something for anxiety.
I have tried to manage mine for years with meditation, exercise, diet, etc. I usually do pretty well.
But under stress, it can take over. And in the past couple of years I’ve woken up in the middle of the night with negative thoughts and it takes me a while to fall back asleep.
I don’t want to have to take anything on a regular basis. Any recommendations on a drug that I could discuss with my doctor?

I finally got diagnosed with ADD, inattentive type, at 28 years old. I’ve known I had depression and anxiety for years, but the symptoms and treatment never added up.

I feel validated, finally, but I can’t help feeling grief too over so much lost potential and unnecessary failure, especially in law school and my career.
