re: When You Feel Like You're Lost In Life

You all really think it would hurt more people if I ended it? I've always thought I would just be forgotten pretty quickly. I mean I'm not anyone famous and even memorable. I'm pretty much the definition of a nobody. 
I've even had dreams where I've died and I've seen the aftermath. Sometimes people are crying, sometimes people are laughing, other times people don't even show up. I've definitely wondered recently what a memorial for me would look like (though I grew up Catholic I wouldn't want a religious funeral).

Absolutely. 100%. Without a doubt.
I've seen it personally. It's devastating for the ones left behind.

Nobody is a nobody. Allow me to tell you a story real quick if you don't mind. I was a third year teacher and hated every second of it. I hated going to work, I hated dealing with the bs of public school. I was anxious and grumpy at home, I hated everything really. On the last day of school I received a letter from a student that was in my class my first year. I wouldn't say we were particularly close but I was nice to him, and him to me. In this letter he detailed how much of an impact I had on his life and encouraged him with the things I would say in class. He decided he didn't want to live a life on the streets and would be enlisting in the military upon graduation. He thanked me for my time and wished me the best of luck in my future. I had absolutely zero idea I had made a mark on this kids life and inspired him to want better. Hell, I couldn't even tell you what it was that I said. I truly mean when I say, you never know the impact you have on the folks around you. Don't give up, never out of the fight.

The same could be said about my son, and yes losing him hurts every moment of every day I've lived since.
Are you part of any groups at all? You got to get out your head and focus on something you enjoy. It will likely be hard to make the first step to get in involved in something but it will be worth it.
You mentioned a few things you use to like is there anything you have always wanted to try?
In my area there are meetup groups for all kinds of activities including Tennis and outdoors adventures. That could be a good way to get you off the couch and meet a new friend with no pressure attached.
Also, not sure if your religious, but being part of a religious groups that does a lot to help our community has helped me a ton with the loss of my son. As others have said helping others can help get you out of a selfish mindset and into a serving others mindset. One of the best things at my church is our men's group. We meet up once a week for breakfast tacos and talk about life. It's a good opportunity to develop relationships in a non judgmental atmosphere.
Please don't hurt yourself because you will be missed and don't be scared to tell people how you are really doing. Last thing, change what you have been doing that got you to this place and try something new. Get a new job. Get a new hobby. Join a meetup group so you can get out and about with no pressure.

PLEASE REMEMBER:
You were your mother and father's beautiful baby boy and they put decades of time and effort and love into raising you and your siblings. Since you still have a relationship with them, they must be pretty good people, which allows me to assume that they thought of you, prayed for your life to work out well and wished the best for you. For you to kill yourself and end that precious life, you would, in a very real way, invalidate a very large portion of their own lives and scar them for the rest of theirs, leaving them to head towards the end of their own existence here with, at best, conflicting and confusing thoughts and fears.
Your life is brilliant and it matters very much. It is an absolute gift, and if you can live your life each day incrementally improving from the day before, you will be impressed with yourself sooner rather than later ESPECIALLY because you know deep down how close you've been to the edge, but you made it.
God bless you. You CAN and WILL make it.
