Other than that, what do you think is causing the depressed feelings?

I don’t know thats whats so frustrating about it. Everything is basically good in my life. I just can’t shake these feelings. I know I need to get everything out but its hard to concentrate enough to get my point across…IDK does that make sence?

you already know you need help, and you’ve tried, which is good, but you can’t give up. you need years, not months, not weeks, but years of help in order for it to work. also, who did you ask to get help? preferably, you should ask a doctor who you should go to.

i do understand, why dont you try writing things down, are you seeing anyone about whats wrong?

Yeah I’m talking to therapist and she put me on medication because I’ve been thinking about suicide way to much. It doesn’t seem to be working. Nothing does. I’ve tried to be positive and give everything a chance but these outragous feelings are still there. How do you help yourself when it’s yourself thats the problem? I wish I could just get away from me :/

I don’t know if I can go much longer. I know that sounds super dramatic but thats the way I feel about the situation. I”m sorry. I don’t really know which way to go from here, ya know?

i’ll tell you, and i dont tell many, i have thoughts all the time about cutting myself, hanging myself, all ways i can to make me disapear, not beacause i want to die, because i actually have a good life, but because i just cant cope with everyday life, it is so hard to battle these thoughts, but i do, because i know suicide is not the answer, but i cant help it, i dont want the thoughts as i’m sure you dont, all i can think is it will take time with your therapist, but hey its good you have one and are aware you have a problem, the worry would be if you wasnt aware these thoughts are wrong, keep fighting them

Thanks for telling me that:) I feel that way too. I know I have issues and do want these wild thouhts to stop but IDK how they will. I don’t know how to fix me! I do cut myself. Lately quite a bit. Not something I’m proud of but at this point there really isn’t much that I am proud of. I’m sorry I’m so negative its just the way I’m feeling right now. I feel bad that Im even bringing all of this up! :(

Anonymous, I’m no professional and I don’t want to give you poor advise. I have found one solution that always works for me when I get low or backwards about things.

whats that?

hopefully the more you see the therapist the better things will become, this could take years and i think you have to give yourself that time, dont beat yourself up that you cut already, and as far as feeling bad for fetching it up, well this is help.com right, so people are here who can and want to offer advise,

yeah I guess your right. I think I’m gunna go now. I’m really dizzy and need to do something. Maybe take a nap or somethin. Thanks for talking to me :)

Life isn’t as simple as I would like it, and there may be more complex and physical as well as mental or emotional reasons for your struggles, but in my own life there are fundamentally two forces that work on me (us). One is positive and the other negative and ultimately detructve. One is loving and supportive and lifts us to do better and be better and FEEL BETTER,while the other accuses, demeans and misdirects us, telling us we are either better or worse than others, that we are superior to others or that we (I) are inadequate and wortless.
One fills us with Light and the others surrounds us in Darkness.

As odd as it may sound,what always brings peace back to me is (1) asking God who is our Heavenly Father for HELP and then (2)if I can focus, reading from the Book of Mormon. I know that may sound strange to you, but it ALWAYS helps. It may take an hour or so of reading, but it ALWAYS helps if I stick it out and Pray for help from
the He who knows and understands all things. Don’t give up!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope this is not too late but, you have your dreams and goals to fulfill do not kill yourself:
