I’m 23 and felt this way for about 5 or 6 months but the last few weeks have been the worst really.
No, not angry, just sad like nothing matters, Can’t feel much, can’t focus
well, that’s called frustration, you need to have/learn to have patience, maybe things will still take a while to lift up. Some people are stuck for years in situations they just hate (trials, lack of money, struggles..) but life is long.. just have patience, there will be happy times too, it’s all cyclic, there won’t be a day when you are all out of problems and worries.. to be honest.
Just keep breathing, getting up in the morning, and don’t let yourself get overwhelmed with troubles.. take time for yourself everyday, just to look at the sky and forget about everything else.. you know.
Good luck :)
well you can do this trick i learned in one of my psychology classes go and buy a scented candle. Pick a size that you think represents your problem. Light the candle as it burns think about what is bothering you but more important realize that when the candle burns out you will be out it will be time to move on. currently i have a candle burning and i have come to realize that when it burns out i will be over her and i will be able to move on…. idk it just something that might work
No, not angry, as in sad all the time, like nothing matters. I can’t feel much anything kind of like I’m a zombie or something

Thanks I like that idea….
I just need to get these thoughts out of my head. I don’t like them. I can’t get over them. I don’t know waht to do TO get them out. They are just like always focused on ending my life or cutting myself. I try and resist. Try and distract myself with something else but in the end nothing I do works. What should I do?
It will pass, don’t despair, your sadness is temporary, you are young.. and impatient… but you have lots of things ahead to live yet.. take it easy.. you don’t need to cut, It won’t change anything.
or redirect your sadness something creative like a poem or a painting you might but surprised but what you can do. I recently had something vary sad happen to me. So i 5 days ago i tried the guitar for the first time and kind of cool it turns out i have a un knowen talent to play guitar. I would just say try something new
The drive you have is just a hormonal reaction.. if you go to sleep right now.. or just watch a movie.. by the end of the day this drive you have will pass.
It changes the way I feel when I cut. The relief for a moment is better then no relief for how ever long. I know that sounds insain but I guess thats how I deal. I don’t want to cut but nothing else is working.
I wouldn’t even know how to start something new at this point…I guess I could try tho

It doesn’t go away it’s always there! Thats the problem! I go to sleep, if I can get to sleep that is, and its’ still there when I wake up! Still lingering and watching over me
Soup-e try writing you dont have to write like poems but try telling your self that your writing down your feelings so you don’t for get them that way you can be at ease to push these sad thoughts out of your head because remember you have then writen down
Whenever you have this drive to hurt yourself, change the picture, change your enviroment, give yourself something to do, go out of wherever you are, do something different, being locked in a room helps to make you depressed.

Your right. I just don’t have the energy to do anything anymore. I do need to try harder but yet can’t stop thinking whats the point? Id just be better off if I wasn’t here all together!
Don’t talk like you’ve just been defeated by a giant or something.. you can control it, just have to sit down and think, rationalize. If cutting gives you a temporary solution.. then it’s not a solution.
Well, it’s ok if you don’t have the energy, then just go out and sit on the sidewalk.. and watch ppl.. look at kids playing.. or go to a park, it will help you think clearer
Just being under the sun and breathing deep calms down these drives. Maybe you can get a young pet too.. it will chear you up for sure.. with the sweet the bitter fades :)

Yeah I could do that. I just get soo pissed off at myself feeling like this. Especially when I see other people out enjoying their lives. I want to be like them but yet I know I can’t right now. It makes me feel worse to see them. I’d rather just sit a lone bymyself and listen to music but I know that that isn’t a good look for me either…I guess you could say I’m torn..

Yeah, I do have a dog he’s the one on my picture. He’s not a puppy but young adult?! haha His name is Kyle and he sure does have a lot of energy. I feel bad cause I’m not as fun as I use to be with him…not fair to him
Hahaha, right I didn’t notice the picture.. He is cute :)
soup-e i understand the need for pain as a form of relief. if in the end that is the only outlet that you can find then use it constructively for example back in high school i was on the an all star on our state champ baseball team and the only reason i was that good was because i had such a messed up household that i would go and practice batting non stop untell my hands would bleed… so i might not be the best on giving out info but i do understand where your coming from and would really suggest the candle idea as well as finding another out let

I;m a nursing assistant in a hospital
haha well im a student studying psychology (so i work normal dumb college student jobs)
Soup-e, is there a particular reason why you are feeling sad? or do you think there are some things that are missing in your life?

I don’t know I know I have reasons and things are missing. I guess its a little of both…I just know that I’m a mess. I don’t know how to handle things like this. Its like no one else does either. How can you save yourself when its you that is the problem? How can anyone else help you when ts you that is constently hurting yourself? It doesn’t make sence!

Right keep trying! :). Whenever you feel down plz invite us.
Good luck!
The firat thing that you do is pray. I don’t know what the problem is put believe me you can change anything though prayer.
I used to self harm and I am always tempted when things go wrong so I know its hard to resist. I find red pen helps… trying drawing in red on yourself rather than cutting yourself.
