Maybe like Ray Kurzweil you want to pursue technologies that promise to extend your life indefinitely? So far I'm not sure any of us have determined what you intended with your question. Would you like to clarify?

Huh. I must have read the unusual orthography "wan't" as "don't want".

Hi there, This comes up often here ... Looks like people are chasing money and using 'success' as only life goal. It is not, at all. Money and success spoil people and drag them down, to the bottom.

Love and care about others revive any human.

I sincerely wish you to get your life goals back soon, please consider going to Christian Church, it have been helping people for over 2000 years :-). Take a holiday, go and help in the local hospital, you and your help will be welcomed there!

Pay attention to your family, get married, bring up kids.

Life is a greatest gift of God, my friend. But it comes with obligations to love others and help them.

All the best to you!

I agree with littlegiantcap on exercise and D3 and sunlight- HUGE difference. especially if you can look at your life and realize you feel differently in the summer than you do in winter or spring.

But there is one realization that has saved me. I call it the reset option. Reset all the things in your life that push you to contemplate suicide. None of them are worth it; so, reset them.

For myself, I imagined what my life would be like if I did die, to the world, but didn't actually die. If all my obligations, commitments, relationships ended, then what would I do?

What would you do the day after everyone thought you had killed yourself? You can choose to live your life that way now. You can live your life in any way that makes you happier. There is nothing wrong with playing around with the kind life you want to have. There is no wrong way to live your life.

Suicide is stupid. It's not a solution to anything. Don't do it. Focus on things you enjoy in life. If you're feeling lonely, make an effort to spend time with the friends and family you do have, and let them know how much they mean to you. Also seek out ways of meeting new people that share an interest with you even if it's uncomfortable and you're pessimistic about the outcome (i.e. going to meetups), just make sur…

Suicide is not stupid. Not considering suicide it stupid.

Purchase nitrogen gas. Breathe that in instead of Oxygen. It looks like a peaceful way to go. http://lostallhope.com/suicide-methods/plastic-bag-gas That said, life has a lot going for it. There are always cool things to do, people to meet, laughs to be had, love to be given etc... Failing that, go browse lolcats for a while.

This was the best answer so far.

your first sentence is an incredibly irresponsible way to respond to this question. I know that you think you are trying to be funny or lighthearted, but that was not the way to respond to this post.

You are selfish
