    i have been having suicidal thoughts for a long time now but i feel there getting worse. i just keep think what it would be like if i killed myself. I feel like **** most of the time, and then sometimes i feel good. the reason i feel so sad sometimes is because i feel invisible to people. today i was at a party and i felt like no one wanted to talk to me or was ignoring me, i also felt like **** because loads of people got stuck in to each other and I didn't get one girl. i feel like everyone is movin on ahead of me and im being left behind. does anyone know wats wrong with me?

    Hey there half_life_man. I can understand the feeling of being left out, it hits us all at some stage in our life for any number of reasons. And i can REALLY understand about not getting girls LOL, trust me that definitely happens us all (men anyway ;) ). Everyone goes through hot streaks and cold streaks, all you can do is put yourself out there, talk ****e and tell crap jokes. It sounds like an awful cliche but girls will find you more accessible if you're happy in your own skin.

    On a serious note I don't think you should be thinking about ending things and the fact that you posted a message up here is a good sign that you want to change the way you feel about life and be more happy in yourself and obviously ending things won't do that. The charter at the top of the thread has a quite a list of different types of services you can avail of. Please have a look because i think if you talk these feelings you're having out with a professional they will be able to show you how to deal with the feelings and improve they way you feel about your life which in turn will make your life better (it's amazing what self-confidence does). And believe it or not there's very little that experts in this field having encountered and so they'll have dealt with people having the exact same feelings as you before. Experience counts for a lot in every job. And if it's something that you feel you don't want to discuss with a stranger then there's always the option of family. The first step to getting over these feelings is that you posted it here; it shows you want to make the effort to feel better, so please take the next step and talk to someone in your life about it. Because they know your situation better they can help point you in the right direction.

    I don't think you're invisible OP, i think you just have low self-confidence like many of us and it makes you worried about putting yourself out there to people. But trust me it's not actually very hard to change low self esteem. Once you start telling yourself you are confident it just happens whether you believe it or not. It's weird.

    Give it a go OP and have a chat with someone about it. You'll find that people care more about you than you think.
