Thanks for listening. I will not kill myself, though I think about it every day. I'm just a loser. I do not have much money or woman. And when I left the church I lost my childhood friends for turning into an atheist. But now I'm going to university. I'm going to turn around, I hope. I'm hoping things will get better. But I always think that the way is very difficult and that it would be better if the journey was over soon. I think it's some level of depression. Congratulations on your work. It must have saved many lives. I keep thinking that if I do something as important to society as you, maybe it's worth living. Translated automatically.

The world is larger than what you know now and you can always live a different life. I get reminded of this every time I travel to a different country. Usually there is a perspective shift. Feels like a blank slate, people who don't know anything about you. And everything you know, your history, problems, it's like it never existed. What I'm trying to say there is no need to keep score, there a millions of people out there, and cities and communities with better opportunities. Funny how sometimes it feels like there is no exit, but then a year later or 10 years later you look back and those problems seem irrelevant and miniscule. Try changing something in your life, do things differently. But also it never hurts to talk to a psychiatrist and get an assessment.

  > The world is larger than what you know now and you can always live a different life. I get reminded of this every time I travel to a different country. It's nice to have the privilege of being able to drop everything and travel. I imagine if everyone had that option at their fingertips suicide would be much less of a problem. > But also it never hurts to talk to a psychiatrist and get an assessment. I know people who have been put on sex registries and lost a great deal as a result of talking to a physchiatrist. It would be nice to live in a world where it never hurts, but that's dangerous advice incongruent with some surprising western disclosure laws.

I will say two things, I have no idea if it will help: 1. It is possible to be happy, despite a lack of "traditional success" (which often has very little merit beyond material wealth). I can't tell you how to do that, but please keep remembering this as a possibility, and then with enough time you can find the path that works for you - but you must look for it. In the meantime, yes, you are likely suffering from depression, your brain will tell you many things that are simply incorrect. Remember that also, it is very important. 2. Consider finding volunteer work, perhaps working with mildly mentally handicapped people, you may find genuine joy in their accomplishments. That is just one idea, but volunteering offers a path to profound happiness for many people. Best of luck.
