I want to stop feeling this pain and I cant find anyone to talk to. Suicide seems to be the only way out. Can anyone help?

Answer:

You didn't choose to be born, so it's not like you made a bad decision that you regret. Your life is not your fault. Just try to enjoy life. Find something you're interested in and read all you can find about it. Maybe you don't feel like you fit in society. You don't have to. Maybe you think society is full of sh-t. Maybe you think career-driven, mainstream people are boring and full of sh-t. Hang out with homeless people in a big city. Use the library computers. Freud's book "Civilization and Its Discontents" might help. He realized that psychotherapy was expensive and time-consuming, that few people benefitted, and present-day statistics show that five percent get WORSE! His conclusion: "tend your garden", i.e. do something every day you get some enjoyment from. Read Thoreau's essay, "Life Without Principle", then "Walden".

And for some perspective about the meaning of life, watch these clips on YouTube:

Warning: NON-CHRISTIAN MATERIAL FOLLOWS:

I was depressed for 20 years, until I practiced an eastern

meditation technique that emphasized repeating a mantra. There are many types. Nichiren Shoshu was the one that worked for me. The mantra is nam-myo-ho-ren-ge-kyo. Pursue it over the net.
