I want to hurt myself

I can't stop thinking about wanting to cut and committing suicide. Last year I was a cutter and I tried to commit suicide and I regret it still, but a part of me wishes I could do it again, except this time, I wouldn't get caught. I really thought I was over this but apparently not, and I don't want to tell my mom or a counselor. I need some advice on what to do.

 

This is a very serious matter, but it’s great that you’re trying to seek help. Realizing that hurting yourself is not the right move is huge, so props on knowing that you need to find another way to deal with what’s going on.

 

This is something that is much larger than you, and you can’t take it on all on your own. You need to tell someone you trust. And trust that they will not judge you but will help you in a way in which you will feel comfortable. This could be your mother or father or a teacher or counselor. But you need to tell someone.

 

This is not something you just get over yourself. Talking to someone will help you understand why you have these feelings and then you can go from there. It is a step in the right direction that you wrote for help, but talking to your mom or a counselor will make a huge difference, I promise.

I have gone through this. I am still going through it. It took me a year to go from super happy to trying to kill myself. Anyone suffering from depression needs to tell someone. Even if you think no one cares, they do. Break down and cry in front of someone if you don't know how to start that conversation (That's what I did and it worked). The process of recovery is so long, so don't wait to start it! Life is worth living! Listen to the song Hero by Superckick. Smile

I have been depressed for a while, and at first I could have fun with friends and be depressed later, but now a bunch of my friends are trying to drop me from their group. I liked them, but they're really judgmental and it scares me because of my low self esteem. Now they only talk to me when their friends aren't around. It makes me really angry and I have the worst temper. I try not to talk to them, and make it obvious that they hurt me. My other friends make fun of cutters because it's stupid to them so I go along with it, but I do cut. I'm starting to hate EVERYONE in my school and I have a second house in another state. I want to move there. This doesn't seem horrible because I don't have good friends, but the school there is missing something. I've already brainwashed my to think I'm going to die before I get to college, so every time I think maybe I could go to that school, I 'realize' I'm not living that long. Why do most other people get to be happy, not me?




Hey girl, trust me when I say you're not the only person who has those feelings, but it's so important you talk to an adult about that. Talk to a guidance counselor. Your thoughts may be in a dark place and your friends may come off as intentionally insensitive, but so many people care about you. You've just gotta let them know what's going on so they'll know to help. Depression is a dark road and one that should always be taken seriously. Talk to a parent or trusted adult and don't be afraid to talk about how you feel. You can get through this, but the support of others will be invaluable along the way. Stay hopeful!

I think i may have an eating disorder!!!! I was on this website, and I accadentally clicked on his add. It took me to a page about eating disorders. I was bored so i looked at it. One eating disorder described me PERFECTLY!!!!!!!
I'ts called "Binge Eating Disorder" it's when you eat and eat and eat just because your stressed, depressed, or even happy. I do this all the time!! I was really worried so i looked at it more and learned that I could get type 2 diabetes!I know that sounds extreme to think about, but i allways have been rather chubby. Also, I might have inherrited a panic disorder so, learning that I may have an eating disorder is making me go balistic right now!!!!! Im so scared and confused!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




hey! it sounds to me like a chat with your doctor might be in order. he or she can help you decide how to live a healthy life. good luck Smile
