I don't know how to tell my family that I want to die. This is a serious question and I really need someone's help.
I've decided that if I'm not able to find a job before I turn 25, which is next year, then I'm just giving up with life. This is no way for a person to live. I spend most of the day, everyday, alone. I have nowhere to go, nothing to do. I have no way of supporting myself. I've gotten a useless education, which was a waste of the last four years of my life. I CAN NOT spend the next 50 years or so living like this. The thing is I don't know how to tell my family. Generally, in my community, suicide is not something people do. We turn to religion when things get rough. We pray and have faith that things will get better. However, I feel that it's just a bunch of BS to be honest. I've prayed and kept the faith, but it has gotten old. I feel like I'm just talking to the damn wind. I want to tell them that I have these thoughts. I just don't know how. If I tell them, then it won't be a surprise when I actually go through with it. This isn't the only issue I'm struggling with either.

hun listen every difficulty you go through in life is a blessing in disguise. its put in place to make you stronger and to teach you something. listen to what the universe is teaching u. right now its teaching u patients and persaverence and how to look on the brightside when the world is dul. take things into your own hands, look at what u have to be happy for and smile, dont turn ur attention to the painful things.
if u want to be around people go out somewhere doesnt have to be anywhere fancy. go for a walk say hello to someone anyone. make friends. allow the universe to lead u somewhere. if u smile and look at thing happily nothing can break u down.
u may not be finding a job right now but u may be approaching it wrong. try looking for differnt types of jobs. when u go in have a positive mind set. id need to know more about the situation to tell u what to do.
but i know u shouldnt kill youself not a good option ive been there before. if u are seriouse about this seek medical attention or go to the parent u trust most and come right out and say it tell them whats going on they will help youLike (3)

I have been there and wanted to tell my daughter so she would know it was not that I didn't love her but the pain of being alive was more powerful. She hauled me off to the docotr so fast...he put me on anti-depressants...I hung on for six weeks for them to work...and I have lived another 20 years to experience three grandchildren and much joy. Go on drugs! Get to a GP today. Call, say it is an emergency, just do it!! If you have tried drugs, try different ones. There is one that will work. The hearbreak you will cause your loved ones will be with them forever. Don't give in. Don't do it!

Where do you live, what is your major ?
Check Indeed dot com. They collate all the different job listing sites around the country. You don't need to go to monster and other sites, indeed puts all of them together in one place.
Check with the job placement office at your alma mater, get a job with the govt, join a church.......networking will be effective there.
Don't give up........things will work out for you.Like (2)

I watched this movie on Netflix last week:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090556/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl
I should be telling you that what you are feeling will pass, urge you to get help at all costs--and I hope you do, but I cannot honestly tell you that I don't understand why some people really, truly, honestly and simply do not wish to go on and on the way they are. I used to be one of them, but it did get better for me. I can only speak for myself. If you can find a way to watch this movie, please do, and ponder what it might mean for your family to hear this news from you. I'm just suggesting it as a tool to help you better decide what you need to do.Like (2)

I have Netflix, too. I've passed by that movie several time while searching got something to watch and I've never bothered to click on it. Thank you. I'll have to watch it.

Good. It's kinda moldy, but it really does make you think. I do hope you find that peace and sense of fulfillment you haven't been able to find thus far, no matter the means.

Hello, I can tell you are hurting bad. I have wanted to die many times in my life too because the pain was just to much. I understand. Sometimes it helps us to feel better if we talk through our pains. I just wanted you to know that I am here for you. I do care.

I know, I also hated/hate hearing it but sometimes all you need are a few comforting words and things don't seem as bleak. If you need to talk, don't hesitate :) Best of luck to you.

It is critical that you seek medical attention immediately. You sound not only suicidal, but depressed as well. If it is difficult to tell your family that is alright and a normal response; you do not want everyone freaking out and giving you tons of advice that just frustrates you. Go to you family Doctor or to the Emergency Room without delay, you must seek help. I have dealt with depression for many years and recently had a bad episode, but before I did anything I went to the Emergency Room and got help. I fully understand what you are saying about earning a degree and the inability to get a job, I am in the same boat. It gets very frustrating knowing what I can do and no one allowing me to do it. I sought help and it made all the difference for me. You mentioned that you are strong in your faith; are you a Christian (saved, and have your sins forgiven)? What is your degree in, mine is a Bachelor in Business Administration?
