Sorry for the non-NIMH related topic. But I just want to know...

What do you do when you feel worthless and feel that the world would be a better place without you?

And don't mind me btw, I'm okay. I don't feel worthless or anything, because I've admitted that my worthlessness is a fact and there's nothing to do about it.

I would think about my family and friends, and ask myself how they might be affected by your not being part of their lives. I'm sure you're worth something to somebody, certainly ourselves on this message board.

I don't know, as much as I would need that knowledge right now. I'm open to suggestions.

I just couldn't remain silent, not taking into concern the remoteness of this post)

As for me, I try to relax, close my eyes and try to cast away any of these thoughts. You see such mood can't last for long, and after a second glance on any situation you can always find some light in a deepest shadows. Asking yourself about being worthless - well, it's not the right thing to do. In this whole wide world there's so much to do and see, so many people could use your help and a friendly warm word and touch! Thus the very idea of being worthless is totally wrong! Bad things do happen, there are times these things happen because of ourselves, but there's no point in burying oneself in grief! Life still goes on and one day we can prove our worthiness both to this world and to ourselves!
So in any case of such mood as a doctor I give you this advice. Don't take it to heart, for a moment try to forget about all your sorrows... Call some friend of yours, take a walk... Share your feelings with someone - verbalizing your trouble will surely weaken its size! And just keep in mind, we're all unique, and not a second of our time is wasted in vain! Everything we do echoes in the world's symphony and it's not us who decide whether we are worthless or no, but those, who love us, rely on us and simply happen to know us!
If my post haven't helped a bit - get to see Damekko Doubutsu anime series, a.k.a. Useless Animals! That will surely do help!

I dont think your worthless as long as you are a functioning member of society you have a value. you are worth something. no one is worthless and we all have potential. to think you are worthless is just a way of giving in to your own frustrations. but remember there are always those that care about you.
