I Feel Useless And Want To Die - What To Do

Answered 12 October 2026 at 10:53 pm PKT

If you're feeling hopeless and considering ending your life, you're not alone. Here's what you can do to get help and support.

I feel useless and want to die. What do I do?

This is a very heavy weight to carry, and I am so sorry you are feeling this way. Those thoughts of wanting to die are a sign that the pain is too much to hold alone, and that is a sign to reach out for help. You are not useless, and you are not alone in this. There are people who care about you, and there are steps you can take to start feeling better.

What to do now

  • Talk to someone you trust. This could be a family member, a friend, or a professional. You don't have to go through this alone, and sharing your feelings can make them feel more manageable.
  • Try to stay with the people around you. If you are with others, ask them to stay with you for a little longer. If you are alone, try to move towards other people instead of away.
  • Avoid being by yourself for too long. Even if it is just for a short while, try to be around others. You could visit a family member, or go to a public place like a park or a mosque.

What to do next

It is important to take care of your physical health as well. Make sure you are eating regular meals and staying hydrated. Try to get some rest, even if it is just for a short while. Physical health and mental health are connected, and taking care of your body can help improve your mood.

Aap ko kya lagta hai yeh mahsoos hona shuru hua? Aur yeh kitni der se chal raha hai?
