Suicidal thoughts.

I've had the same problems as far as thinking I have heart problems when it's really anxiety. It does get hard to deal with but there are ways to deal with it other than taking your own life. Things like exercise better diet there's a whole bunch of stuff out there that can help including some medications. It's hard to deal with I completely understand and just hope you know there are ways to help yourself. I have been battling anxiety for a few years now and it has slowly gotten better. I does take time but you can overcome it. Just know your not alone

It will pass honestly most of us have been and still are in ur boat. Chin up young man u have ur whole life ahead of u. Wer all here for u

Hi Brandon,

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this, especially at a young age. Unfortunately anxiety and depression seem to go hand in hand and I myself (and probably most of us) am struggling through the same thing, so you are definitely not alone in feeling this way. I strongly suggest you speak to a professional about your suicidal thoughts though.

In mean time just take each day, each moment as it comes- do something that makes you happy or distracts you, like read a book or exercise. Focus your attention on something else and every time you notice yourself slipping back into your anxious/suicidal thoughts say stop and quickly think about something else. It will become easier to do in time.

Suicide will prevent your future from getting any better, it's a permanent fix when you have still so much to live for. I was diagnosed with OCD at 8, and anxiety a few years ago- I've thought about ending my life too but I promise you things will and do get better! We're all here for you.

Brandon, from time to time everyone whether young or old suffers with strange thoughts and anxieties.

When a person is relatively young they tend to be more open to suggestions and lack the experience to be able to differentiate between real fears and those that are purely imaginary. In your case you have said you were worried about chestbuster aliens from the movies, but we both know that in real life there is no such thing, and there is absolutely no real evidence to suggest that aliens actually exist. The concept was thought up by writers and film makers so that people would take an interest in something they had done, and pay lots of money to read the book or see the film.

If you are ever frightened about potential health issues, then the thing to do is to discuss such matters with your doctor or your parents, rather than worry about something  imaginary that causes you to be anxious.

What I would say is that growing up is difficult enough without lots of unneccessay and completely wrong ideas.

If you ever do feel suicidal I would recommend phoning the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 or emailing them at jo@samaritans.org. The Samaritans are a completely confidential organisation and can be very helpful in putting people in touch with their true feelings, therby sorting out their lives.

Hi Brandon, I can empathis, at one stage I wondered if my wife was an alien and how could I did prove it to myself! Now I wonder what I was getting anxious about.

You need to be able to speak to a professional councillor to learn how to deal with your irrational thoughts.

Your certainly not useless and you definitely won't go insane I can assure you of that.

If you really feel the need to end your life then you need to speak to someone, if your in the UK you can phone childline as they will listen and help you, they are not just there for abuse issues, alternatively Samaritans, MIND (sign up to Elifriends on the mind website, lots of young people your age on there going through similar experiences). 

Dont worry, your not mad, not bad and more importantly you will get better.

Your not the only one who gets freaked out by fiction things I do too I'm 22 and had anxiety since I was about 5 and panic attacks I have gad but it's more towards health anxiety now although I still have social anxiety and I'm very paranoid I also suffer depression.

It's hard to cope with and on and off will feel good then bad but it's part of you .You have to accept iyou have a life ahead of you we are all in the same boat you will get better and learn how to cope

I am even worse today...
