you must tell someone its the only escape

Do not take the easy way out.
You can do it if you really try. I know that sounds cheesy, but it’s true.

Be brave, seek help and do your best to change the course of your life.

We all want great lives but it’s upto us to make that happen.

Everyone wants a happy ending in their life. Make a happy ending for your life. A kind of ending where you feel content, happy and know that you’ve lived life to the fullest.

You were born to live life. Don’t cut it short.

Everyone goes through hardships in their lives, some worse than others.
These hardships come into your life to help make you into a better and stronger person.
Don’t give up, there’s a lot of people who care about you.

Maybe you need a vacation right now. To get away from things. It doesn’t have to be an expensive trip to the caribbean or something, but just take a break from your life so you can relax and refresh your mind. You’re feeling overwhelmed right now. I’ve felt the same way hundreds of times.

i can understand how a therapist might not understand do you have a close friend you can confide in i have one friend that is amazing i cant live without her shes my backbone

yes, that’s important too.
You don’t have to have someone who truly understands you, just someone who will listen. It makes a big difference to let it out. Don’t keep it in - it’ll be bad for you and your health

Its the constant overwhelming feelings that are my problem the come to me in the blink of an eye but never leave that quickly. I would love to go on a vacation, a friend and I were going to go to Canada but I don’t see that happening in the near future any time soon..

Then set this as a goal for yourself. Actually, set life goals and aspirations for yourself - it’ll help give you a sense of direction and want. It’ll also help push you to be stronger and persevere through hard times.
Write a life goal list for yourself, such as (going to Europe, adopting an underprivileged child, getting a dog, etc.)

I told a friend about it and she kinda freaked. She’s mad at me for doing it but understands more so then the therapist actually. I don’t want to bother her with this because the way I’m feeling I need someone around me like 24/7. Things just get that out of control I can’t deal with it anymore and want to do something extream….I don’t know if I’ll ever be ok again. I’m not the same person I was and I hate that idea.

Actually, this is quite normal. You are NOT supposed to be the same person.
Life gives us all kinds of situations that teach us and change us. It’s upto us if we want to change for the better or for the worse.
No one stays the same because a person who never changes never learns anything.

You can take this difficult situation you’re in, and fight it. Fight for your happiness. Happiness is not something that is just given to you. You have to work for it.
I believe you can do it.

I could do that but honestly I don’t know if that will help me. My therapist says the same thing to set goals. I set them but that doesn’t get me through the day. What gets me through the day is cutting myself. Sounds super lame but thats the way it is I guess. I have a list of goals but right now the things on it WERE important to me but nothing really is anymore. Now the list is just a list with numbers…I dunno I don’t mean to be so negative I’m sorry.

I understand. Don’t be sorry. I know what you’re going through because I too, have slashed myself when I attempted suicide.
But what will you gain from cutting yourself? You should ask if what you’re doing is helping you in a positive way. You do not want to feel like this forever, I’m sure, so you need to take steps to change it. Just take some little steps.

dont worry you havent changed you have just lost yourself temporarliy the real you is down there deep down buried underneath all your pain and once you can get your life back on track she will come back she will just be stronger then she was before.

Whenever you feel depressed or overwhelmed, get out of the house. Take a walk. Call your friend. Watch a funny movie. Occupy yourself. You have to fight that feeling because if you don’t, it will swallow you up and destroy you, emotionally and physically.
I believe you can do it because I believe anyone can do it. Help yourself. No one can help you but you alone. There will always be people, even strangers like me, who care for you.
Good luck and Godspeed

Thats what I’m afraid of…no one can help me. I can’t do this alone becasue I’m not that type of person. I’m not strong, I’m not motivated, I am letting this destroy me and can’t do a single thiing about it. Just sit back and let it go. It’s like I’m paralyzed and can’t get away from it.

YES YOU CAN.
You are not paralyzed or helpless. You can lift yourself up and fight.
I know some people who have gone through absolutely horrible times, suffered, fell apart but got through it. And they came out stronger, wiser and more fulfilled.
You can do it too.

Don’t say that. Believe you can. Have faith in yourself. Build yourself up.

You’re stronger than you think. And think of all the things you’ll miss if you’re dead!
You might find your soulmate next year! Get married and have kids! You might win the lottery! You might tour the world! Life is wonderful. Go out and enjoy it.

That’s a very good attitude, Scottriley.

Yes, hope is what can push us to be stronger.
Hope for a better situation….

Never lose hope.

i know how you feel. i have drawn out my death before, made a plan, and the only thing that kept me alive was ‘what if everything got better? what if i end up happy after years of crap?’ i still deal with cutting and depression, but i am still holding out for that day.
