ADVICE | TOUGH STUFF

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.

Hey girlie -- you are not alone. A lot of people have been where you are and have made it. You should try talking to your parents or a trusted adult. Try talking to your parents about finding someone you can talk to on a regular basis, such as a therapist -- sometimes talking helps a million.

Hey girl, you have so much to live for. If you really feel that way, you need need NEED to talk to someone. I'm including the number of a hotline here you can call, 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) or suicidehotlines.com (more hotlines and resources here: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/04/HELP!2.aspx). Please talk to a parent or guidance counselor and remember SO many people care about you. Reach out and don't give up.

MODMODMOD! MOD!!!
ok. i have been thinking for a long time. i HATE life. although i get good grades in school, i feel so different. i think im fat, even though no one else thinks im fat, im too short, i get no attention, and my parents favor my little bro. i have thought about comitting suicide and i almost became a cutter. i cant talk to my couselor, she cant deal with this stufff, and my parents i DEF cant talk to. i need help!




hey! I know things can seem overwhelming sometimes, and depression is tough to deal with but you have so much to hope for! You are so young and if things are bad now they have so much time to improve. I'm sorry you feel like you can't talk to anyone, but I really think you will feel better if you tell someone how you feel. Something else that can help is writing about it. You don't need to worry about judgement from anyone that way. I want to strongly recommend that you find help here if things get overwhelming. http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/04/HELP!2.aspx good luck!

Okay so heres how it goes: I'm 13 and I've all ready tried to kill myself twice. I was hospitalized and now I have no more privacy/freedom in my life. I used to be bulimic and I am still trying to stop cutting myself. Its really hard and I can't talk to my parents about it. They want me to but it makes me really uncomfortable. Right now I'm not allowed at school because of legal issues (suicide attempt at school) and I'm in intensive therapy. And on medications. But I can't help feeling like I'm just a waste of space on this earth. And the need to cut is so intense that I can't stop. I've got scars/cuts all over my body. I just have no idea what to do. HELP!




Hey girlie. I want to start off saying that you are here, on this earth, for a reason. And no, there is no one who is going to point out exactly what the reason or purpose, but know there just being here is significant. If you are feeling down about yourself and the life that you live, you must take drastic changed to make it better. Here is what you are going to do: Paint your room a happy, bright color that makes you feel alive and good when you look at it. Then go online and look up happy, up-beat quotes that also make you feel inspired and worthwhile. Print these out and put them on your walls in your room so that they are the first thing you see when you wake up in the morning. Life can be so great if you just allow it to be. I try to tell myself that there are people who are sick and fighting with all of the might and strength to hold on to their lives, but sometimes, nature takes its course and they fade. Then there are people like you and I, who are so blessed to be given our lives here. Who are we to waste life away or wish we weren't here? There are no limits for you. You can dream your wildest dreams and become the best version of yourself. There are so many great things about you--why not focus on them? Use all of your might to listen to great, happy music, surround yourself with positive people who make you feel alive and remember that this is no dress-rehearsal. Life only comes around once. Let's make it count--make it matter. Let's celebrate being young and being alive. I want you to listen to the song, "Call On Me" by Erik Prydz. It motivates me to live life to the absolute fullest and jump headfirst into the unknown. There is  a reason you are here. Now let's discover what the reason is, yes?
