Please seek help, Anon. There are clinics, hotlines, etc. available and there's no shame in seeking them out.

*hug* Talk to someone about this. Get help. I think you'll be surprised just how much help and support you can get from your friends and family if you can find the courage to ask for it. I know I was.

As long as you have a reason to hold on, that's all that matters.

As someone who is also suicidal and is holding on for what seems like a very petty reason, I understand. But we have to use anything we can to hang on.

And remember there's most likely going to be Avenger sequels, I think we need to live to see those.

Wow. The Avengers already saved a life. *hugs*

You did well, OP. Just keep hanging on, no matter if it's superheroes you're clinging to. They were created to help others, remember?

That friend is a keeper. I hope you can feel better, OP.

Please don't feel ashamed for finding a reason to hang on, though from experience, I know this is easier said than done. I stayed alive for a lot of "trivial" reasons - all of them fandom related - and it took me a long time to realize that that was okay.

You're not alone.

Hang in there, OP, and seek help, please. *hug*

I hung on for a while just to see the last Harry Potter book. And that was a long time ago and hey, I'm still here, and doing better.

*hugs* Don't be afraid to seek help.

*hugs*, OP. Seconding everyone on here. I've never come that close to committing suicide, but I have turned to books/fantasy to make myself stop thinking about it, years ago when it was really bad. I'm so glad you found a reason to hang on, and please seek help - I know it's hard, but it's worth it. And it may take time to find someone who really can help you, but please, hang in there. Things do get better. *sends love over the Internet*

Nothing that helps you stay alive is trivial.

dark_kaomi and the anon just below are right. Having something to hold on to is important and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Even if it seems trivial - it's not! I've been there and I had the same thoughts but somehow I'm still here. *hugs* if you want them :)

what oills? name, please. i had given up on the pills method because none seemed safe enough.

i wish there was more talk about the less painful alternatives and access to them. it's our lives, we should be allowed to do what we want with it.

if one is SURE, and has been feeling that way for YEARS, why the hell not? god.

hey, I hung on for reasons probably more trivial than you. It doesn't matter what you hang on to, the good thing is that you do have 'something'.

Fandoms save lives, period.

It's good that fandom is giving you a reason to hang on, and it's even better that you have a friend to share it with. Don't take it lightly that your friend chose to remind you at just the right moment, OP. The world wants you to live. I know I do.

Hey, whatever works, man. This fandom does seem really fun & friendly already; I'm glad you found comfort there. I hope you get help & feel better soon.

Yeah, I personally have found that the best way to hold onto life is by telling yourself you're not going to do the deed until after something. For me, it was graduation and spree, because my mom had already payed over $200 for it, and I'd feel guilty for just straight up wasting her money (spree was probably one of the worst experiences of my life though because my friends weren't really my friends) but by the time it rolled around I began to see the light of my life getting better, even though things still fucking sucked I realized that my life wasn't over just because I didn't get into college and that I did have a future.

Keep it up, I'm proud.

There's nothing wrong with staying alive for any reason at all. The triumph is staying alive.

Please talk to someone. If you're British, there's the Samaritans (http://www.samaritans.org/). If you're in the US, there's the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, (http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/) and if you're in Australia there's Suicide Prevention Australia (www.suicidepreventionaust.org/). If you're in another country, Google can tell you where to find someone to talk to.

I really hope this helps.

I don't really know what to say, but I just wanted to you to know that you have a internet hug from me
Seriously
Love C:

offering hugs and <3.14 from another person who is suicidal, and staying alive only for one thing, and when it's gone/over, so am i.

That's not a silly reason. No reason that keeps you going is silly. I hope you're able to get some more help, anon. Hang in there. *hugs*

I'm gonna echo everyone else here and chime in that any reason to live is a good one. It's not silly at all.

Hang in there....people are rooting for you, whether you realize it or not. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Like so many others have said, anything that keeps you hanging on and hanging in is important. I was there back in 2005, trying to figure out the most efficient way to off myself, and the only thing keeping me here was that I needed to take care of my dogs and I really wanted to see Serenity when it came out. I felt like it was a dumb reason to want to stay alive, but whatever worked...

If you haven't sought help, please do. Others have provided links, and I hope you look into it. Therapy and (temporary) meds worked for me, but something different might work for you.

Enjoy the movie! Sounds like you have a really good friend.
