"Has anyone ever thought of killing themselves?"... Shakespeare obviously considered it and has spoken to many through his famous soliloquy in Hamlet. Here is his take on it, and I agree with him.
To be, or not to be, that is the questionÑ Whether "tis Nobler in the mind to suffer The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune, Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die, to sleepÑ No more; and by a sleep, to say we end The Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocks That Flesh is heir to? "Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep, To sleep, perchance to Dream; Aye, there"s the rub, For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause. There"s the respect That makes Calamity of so long life: For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of time, The Oppressor"s wrong, the proud man"s Contumely, The pangs of despised Love, the LawÕs delay, The insolence of Office, and the Spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his Quietus make With a bare Bodkin? Who would these Fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovered Country, from whose bourn No Traveler returns, Puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have, Than fly to others that we know not of.
You don"t want to be preached to, but the God of the Bible has the only real answers for the question you are asking. Consider Solomon"s dilemma in Ecclesiastes, "Life is meaningless". He, like you, also wondered what makes life worth living, I would challenge you to read for yourself and find his conclusion.
In the meantime, find someone to talk to that can understand your problem. Keep asking for help and don"t isolate yourself. You are loved and cared for more than you realize, don"t separate yourself from those people in your life. Tomorrow always holds hope for something better.

Today's Featured Article - Using Your Tractor: Creating a Seed Bed - by Chris Pratt. When I bought my first old tractor, I had only one idea in mind. It wasn't the preservation of old iron since at that time, I was unaware that people even did this. It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
