Is it normal for a college student [after 1 1 / 2 weeks of classes] seriously consider suicide?

I am not smart .. I leave … I'm considering becoming a Catholic priest, but schools need to do so, so, yes … .. mathematics and have problems with addition and subtraction .. i know … proffesional assistance … but that just makes me angry ..

    Suicidal thoughts are not normal. Depression is, but if you seriously consider taking his own life, then you need to seek help. There is nothing wrong with that.

  2. Peter says:

    It sounds like the material to become a priest ….

  3. Yahoo Manager says:

    Priests usually do not want to commit suicide or turn to others for help if you know what I mean

    Trust me you need help. I've been through a suicide attempt. you do not want to. Believe it or not things get better. I know how it sounds. but I've been there and thank God every day that has yet to die. just to maintain what we do good and tell your self that you can get through this. and be glad for each day that make it through. focus on that.

    You seem very frustrated, but suicide is depression elsewhere - thats and hopelessness. My husband hates math, too - they could not obtain his bachelor's b / c the only classes I needed were in mathematics - it was completed all the others. Finally, he had to bite the bullet - which is also older than he forgot almost everything - we have a tutor and now has his degree. Try to get a humanities, liberal arts or communications degree - with fewer math - I think it's like 2 classes.
      Good luck and try not to feel frustrated - everything is relative in that 5 years will look back and think that it was no big thing - trust me - learning all against the Bible is much more difficult. :)

    You should talk to your counselor if you are depressed.

    Perhaps if not used for the normal stress of doing things organized and well done. You might consider starting the first grade ended. Possibly you had a bad start.

  9. Chigga says:

    I wouldnt 'say that is normal, but in the early weeks of the university there is an increase in student suicides.
      I was not aware that he had to take mathematics in theological studies. What are you studying now? Maybe you could talk to a counselor …. I would not say they are professionals, lol, they are not professionals, but sometimes it just helps you talk to someone. Maybe look at the theology department at the school and see what you need to get a degree.

    And what will you preach? A drop now, will remain an all dropouts life.In principle everyone has problems adjusting, some do not show that one and as if it were proportion.Keep Blow on it and have the help of friends and students, but never think of leaving no out.Some opportunities knocking on your door a second time. Look around and find people worse than you, and they will do it.So, why not?

  11. mimirod2 says:

    Hell no help, no one should think about suicide.

  12. child of god says:

    youre not meant to be a priest either.
      no its not normal.
      Have you heard of a math tutor?
      How professional help make you more angry.
      death is very Permanet.
      leave then what stops him.
      sounds like you do not know what you do with your life and still trying to make someone happy about going to school, but used to be happy if you die.

  13. tangledw says:

    I would say that is not normal to seriously consider suicide. I would say it is normal to deal with the anxiety of the school year starts.
      I think he's going through a lot of emotions and needs someone who just heard what is happening.

  14. Stasia Everila says:

    If you do not want to seek professional help, you should talk to someone you trust, like a friend or parent.

  15. Marsel says:

    Of course! I think about it all the time! … but seriously, do not! lol You can think whatever the hell you want, but does not mean you should. ;)

  16. Just me says:

    No, you should not be thinking about suicide. That is not healthy. If you make getting help more angry then talk to a friend. Get some consumer motivation.
      If you want to be a priest, obviously believe in God. They go to it! You have to have faith and believe. If you need a little guidance and prayer to speak with a priest in a local church and see if you can give advice and pray for you.

    um no, not normal

    Dude just stop worrying so much … everyone is intelligent in its own way … So what if his book might be smart street smart … honestly I'm not the brightest person in the world, and therefore not trying to be b / c it will never happen. Just concentrate on passing their classes and study. Try to make some new friend … have a girlfriend or boyfriend (I know its sex). I annoying sometimes, but not to that extreme. Calm down and try to enjoy college B / C only live once. Should'nt life seriously all the time and if you can not get those feelings from head to seek help or talk to someone … to help you clear your mind. Think Postive:)

    If what you are trying to achieve is not hard, then you must ask the question - is the result will be worth it?
      We must work for what it's worth
      Nothing is worth suicide

  20. Leola says:

    I know that you know to ask for help, but my guess is that you are stressed, and you should see your doctor, you may have depression or something, there is no medicine to help, and therapists are there to help people talk about their feelings and discover ways to cope, that's what I do. That is the only real way to help.

  21. spicedro says:

    kno i dont think so, just try to stick out and hope for the best

  22. Pənny Proud says:

    It is not normal that anyone could wish for suicide. Maybe you're smart, and has only a different way to learn … the same systems that do not work or apply to everyone. Someone out there who is willing to help you and not judge you. Do not be so hard on yourself. We all have things about ourselves that we do not like, but do not let things overshadow all the great things about you.

  23. mizmead says:

    If you are contemplating suicide …. down the computer … get on the phone … call your trusted person and unload their feelings to a real person!
      Realize that there are people out there with dyscalculia .. is a learning disability that involves a number ….. no help there.
      Clinging to the faith! … And do not seek help.
      Blessings

  24. i_found_ says:

    there is no normal time for a person to consider suicide at all
      but as you are helping professionals who need to use to have thoughts like that all the time and I have somehow managed to overcome that. I have a friend who commits suicide and she sees a therapist once a week and it has helped a lot
      I know you may not want professional help, but please, for your life, talk to a therapist or someone who can help
