I'm too ashamed to ask for help from people I know

I know this may be the wrong place to post this kind of thread, but I'm really want to ask if anyone here has struggled to ask for help for mental health reasons.
I'll spare you most of my story, but I have had a horribly distrubing feeling lately that the only thing preventing me from committing suicide is my dog. I know I'm extremely lucky to have the wonderful dog that loves me. I just can't take anymore unemployment and job application ghosting/rejection. I can't take the deep despair of lonliness.
Most of all whenever I try to tell myself to persevere, keep trying, and hope for a better tomorrow I just feel an indescribable disgust.
I don't know how to approach my family or friends to ask for help. Has anyone here ever had to swallow their pride to do it or did a situation force your hand?

You need to talk to a therapist. Call a suicide prevention hotline. There’s always an answer out there.
I’ve dealt with depression for quite some time. The first step is to talk to someone.
Suicide is never an option. You have a reason to live.

Stop making fun of me.
The only reason I haven't hung myself in the garage is because of Nymeria. I'm not responsible for just myself, but her well-being. I live with the constant thought of suicide, even when things are great, I just feel undeserving.
I know the feeling, but the struggle from living is worth it. Self-improvement in any part of your life is what keeps me going everyday now.
We all go through these dark times, I enjoy them tbh, because I know they give me new perspective and I come out better each time.
Stay hard buddy.

Ask yourself this...
What would your family rather hear...that you came to them for help, or the worst case scenario?
I was there and after asking myself that, I went to family. That was 15 years ago. They led me to the help that I needed.
Best of luck.

I’m confused. How is penguin making fun of you?

That you came here for help is a wonderful sign. Don't ever be afraid to be honest and vulnerable when you're in a bad situation. Everyone who loves and cares for you would want you to do whatever you can to get over your demons.

It is a joke between me and other posters, specific ally friends who read this board.
I've been in some dark places, the darkest of places more recently. What literally kept me from hanging myself was my responsibility to care for Nymeria.
Sounds made up, but it came close a few times.
Edt: I always find relief in comedy, so thinking it might help. Just anything to displace negative thoughts.

If you're being honest, then I feel for you and I'm glad you've had some supporting thoughts that kept you in the game.
If you're trolling, go kindly suffocate on a U10 bag of dicks.

I've posted about my struggles over the years, many times.
I've had suicidal thoughts since childhood, wasn't picked on or bullied, have a great family, just always felt undeserving, drives my depression.

If you can, and I would suggest to the OP for long-term help, go find a shrink that specializes in cognitive behavorial therapy. If you give it what effort you can, it'll do wonders for you.

You’re loved. You can make a difference right now for someone.

if this was intended to be funny, it isn't.
Posted on 3/7/21 at 1:42 am to Geaux Piggins Geaux
But never give up, life changes soo fast with minimal effort sometimes.
Each day truely is a gift.
Just get some goals and work towards them everyday, it is the best way to give purpose to life when you can't see it.

Message me and we can talk about it. You’re someone’s world, and you don’t know it.

Idt it is, that post sounds all to real, I've been there, several times.

brother, people dont care about this. they care about you. you may worry about how people may look at you but what you will realize is that people only care about your well being and health. take this thread for example. im willing to bet after 2 or so pages the majority of people will be actively concerned for your wellbeing and will only care about how to help your situation. and we are strangers. just think about how the people who actually love you will feel
dont worry about what people will think. they wont care about the fact that you are having trouble. they will only want to help make things better

Honestly, man, it's hard to take you at face value. Your posts are weird as frick and seem contrived. I don't want to be cynical, but I'm still suspicious. Part of my pain killer addled mind is telling me that you used an alter to make this thread in order to communicate some weird shite, and I hate that I think that way.

You are loved. You are needed. You are worthy. Please DON’T hurt yourself. Don’t be ashamed or embarrassed to talk to your loved ones and get professional help.
Do you have insurance or even Medicaid? Turn your card over and call for mental health services. They have telemedicine appointments too. I’ve done it when things got really bad, and it helped tremendously.
Praying for you, and please stay strong. Sending you hugs and positive energy, friend.

Omfg 
I thought you would be smarter than this, but understand.
I do love being morbid, because I've been very close many times, so helps in a weird way with the anxiety in despair. However, I will never joke about reaching out.
Everything I post on the OT is for humor, mostly, but this is not humor.

I wasn't joking about pain pills, lol. I fricked up my finger and am on the good good right now. Forgive me if my nuance is a little off kilter.
