Why do I get these thoughts about hurting myself?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been a single guy for years by choice because of reasons. Mainly because I just don’t think I’m good enough for any girl. Because I’ll just leave them if they’re not my soulmate. And I don’t want to hurt any girls by breaking up with them. I’m good looking, and I always get stared at, or have girls flirting with me. But I know I need to work on my career and get myself to a position where I come with no baggage. I want to make the girl I’m with the happiest. And it starts with me. But I’m depressed. So I can’t do that. I don’t know why but I get thoughts of just “going away.” Like I’m tired of being lonely. And I don’t think I can fix my problems. Sometimes I think that no one will really even notice I was gone.

Yeah, classic symptoms of depression. I’d recommend seeing a therapist, or at the very least, discuss these thoughts with your family doctor. There are always options available to help you. You’ve just got to make a step in that direction, only you can get yourself help. Depression tricks your brain, makes you think you can’t be helped, makes you think you’ll be stuck like this forever, makes you think that you deserve this… but that’s all it is, a trick. Get some help before you feed into it too badly and hurt yourself. Trust me, that’s not a road that you want to go down. I wish you the best, and know that you’re not alone in feeling this way.

I know what you mean. I felt the same way a couple of times. Fortunately I was able to stop having these hurtful thoughts.
Just know that there's nothing wrong with you. You deserve the best. Take your time and do what you have to do. It will pass, you'll be okay.
You can also look for a therapist, I'm sure it will help you. Good luck! :)

You need to kick your own ass in gear! Listen, no one's going to do it for you so take stock in yourself or be the little bitch others thought you'd turn out to be..
