life help: i’ve tried to hang myself before. - Help.com

Hey, don’t give up.

Focus on yourself. What’s the point of getting rid of you. It doesn’t help anyone. The world just going to continue rolling on. Everything’s a desolation, everything’s a mess, and everything’s seems vain so what’s the point of giving up. Giving up for what?

Go on until the end, no matter what.

This life isn’t no heaven, neither is it hell, but this life is tough only for a little time and tough people lasts.

God, I reckon 14 is the most difficult age to go through, I truly do. I dunno if anyone else feels that way, but I seee it as the age where your not a kid anymore but your not an adult either. So your kind of stuck in limbo about where you actually are in life.

Whats school like ? You got friends n stuff ?

What do you mean your going down the wrong route ? You getting into strife ?

K, well before you try hanging yourself again. I just want to say one thing.

Many suicide attempts result in brain damage or other injuries that can leave you disabled for the rest of your life. And once that happens, you won’t be capable of attempting suicide again, but you will live an awfully uncomfortable existance with someone as your carer.

So please think about that before doing it again.

Tell me about your parents ? How is your relationship with them ? Are you able to talk openly and honestly with them ? Because normally your parents are the first port of call, if possible. I know this is not always possible if there are problems there.

Wow, I can now see why you are feeling so sh*tful. Thats really awful. You must get really lonely.

Is your mum aware that you are not happy ? Or sounds like she’s too busy to be aware of much at all really.

I assume your mum is working ? Is that why she is away so much ?

Hmm, at 18 she shouldn’t need looking after.

I know your only young and you shouldn’t need to even be worrying about your future at your age, but it sounds like you are going to need to take a little control of your life, because you don’t seem to have anyone else around to help you do that or give you any guidance or direction in life.

I really think what you need to do from here is work hard at school (i know you’ve probably heard that a thousand time), but this is especially important for you in particular because of your situation.

You really only get one shot at your education, and after that your options are very limited. If you don’t get a half decent education, employers don’t want to know you and you can’t do College courses because you didn’t get any education in the first place.

Yeah you can go back to school as a mature age student, but it aint the same, and it can get expensive.

If you get stuck into school now, you will be able to set yourself up sooner and look after yourself rather than having to rely on your mum. Money isn’t everything, but it does make life more comfortable.

Also, don’t under estimate the school counsellor. They are awsome with this stuff, and general problem solving with everyday life situations.

They hear your story everyday from other students in the same situation. They know how to support you, and it would probably help you get some stuff off your chest to.

Of course you will. Your a battler. Your doing it hard. So when your time comes, you will appreciate it more than anyone else.

And your time will come !

Fight for what you want and I guarentee your life will take some exciting turns. Not overnight, but if you set yourself up now, you can do anything you want.

Bad times don’t stay the same forever, and you have got soooooo much to look forwrad to.

Take care of yourself and keep us updated with how your going.

Ive said it many times on here, Adolescence and the teen years is a very hard time, the bottom line is we don’t have the Maturity and emotional tools to deal with the simplest of problems, so we think the only answer is to permanently find a way out of it.
Your bored with school ? you don’t like your teachers is this reason enough to take your own life ? I don’t think so. Lots of kids hate school, but we all have to do it,its a thing that has to happen to educate us for the future. Can you imagine starting a job when you are 18 and not being able to even read and write ? School isn’t often fun, but you do occasionally come by a teacher that can make learning fun. I know you don’t see it now, but life is short as it is, and the time we are here can be filled with the good and fun things.Its your outlook to life that will make it good or not, if you go through life with a negative attitude and fail to see the good in things and people then life isn’t going to be good to you.
Teens think these years of confusion and depression will last, they wont I promise you, things are going to get better as you grow, it saddens me to see so many young people just giving up and coming on here with suicidal thoughts. These should be the best years of your young lives, you have little responsibility bills etc… you should be out having fun with friends, not sitting all day in a dark room in front of the computer. Being alone and not getting the sunlight your body craves is a sure way to depression, its a vicious circle,
you start the think negative , you dwell on those thoughts and soon begins the downward spiral. Many don’t talk they internalize their thoughts and problems which again leads to depression, its a known fact that Internalized emotions are not good for anyone.
Your outlook and demeanor often reflects how people perceive you too if they feel you are a misery, then they will avoid being around you quite often. If you try to stay happy and positive you will draw people to you. Nothing and I mean nothing is worth giving up your life for hon, most problems have a solution and as you grow you will gain experience to sort these problems, I promise you, I and many other Adults have been through this, and it doesn’t last.
Just hang in there, try to be happy and positive, the Adolescent stage will pass and you will think to yourself…”Oh geesh and there I was contemplating that!” I want to see you still here when you,re 30yrs old laughing that that thought you had at 14. )))))))))hugs. :-)

at that thought* oops :P

i know i’m late for posting, but you describe my situation perfectly, my family is bit different, but that’s not the point. being bored at school, is horrible, i know exactly what you’re going through. but there’s help, i convinced my teachers to let me jump a year, so I skipped a year, and it’s really awesome now. But well this doesn’t really get me rid of my depression.
i talked to a school counselor and well, this helped a bit too. I’m still really depressed, but you know, there’s hope.
i don’t know about your school counselor but usually they’re really helpful cause they listen and give advice. maybe i’m going to therapy, cause i also selfharm, (neverever begin that, youre 14, so i hope you’ll never begin) it’s the crappiest thing ever.
good luck to you :)

How about if you are just tired of living? How about if you really just want to go away from earth? How about if you are very serious about killing yourself, but again you are afraid of pain? How about if you just want to experience death, just because you don’t want to be here anymore? and who can tell me that is right or wrong fro me to feel this way? after all this is my life…not yours, not someone else, I’m not crying for help, I just want to go without pain, that’s all.
