hey iv self harmed before alot when i was younger im only 17 an i have suffered depresion my hole life it took a close friend of mine to die before i relised what i was doing to myself my friend killed himself and when i saw what that did to his family and friends i never self harmed again but i did start going to talk to people and this really helped me talk to someone you can trust about it
The insidious thing about self-harming and other self-destructive actions is that when we hids them we isolate ourselves from other people, and this makes depression worse, which leads to more self-destructive thoughts and actions.
Being able to talk to someone and end the isolation and secrets can provide real relief. It is hard to be open and honest (openness means not holding anything back, and honesty means not saying anything misleading), but it is the way to feel better. You need to talk to your parents, or if you can’t talk to your parents to a school counselor or other adult you can trust. They can help you find a counselor and a doctor if needed.
Sometimes simple things like going out and talking to friends, reading something funny, listening to music, or watching a movie, would help you smile, be happy a little bit and makes you feel better.
hugs :)
i use to be like this the only way you can stop is think of happy things, where a smile, laugh more, don’t let it bother you, you got to stand up to your self and be like honestly it’s time to change. You don’t want to be depressed or sad so try doing something happy and fun… call a friend and tell them your problems cause sometimes your problems cn turn into laughs… depending on the problem
Tell your parents that you need to see a counselor. You can’t handle this alone. And how you think they’ll react is a poor excuse. If they’re like most parent they love you.
You could see your guidance counselor in school. Get help.

Tell yourself today will be a good day first thing in the morning and say today i made it happen at night. Follow you Mind body and soul when you plan to do things and do them. Tell yourself your proud of who you are because no one else is just like you, you are unique.
Believe you got given a chance at life because you deserved one and choose to enjoy it. Thank yourself or god for allowing your sense to learn new things.
Your parents good or bad made you - thank them for that. appreciate the many people and things that let you live your life the way you see fit. try to help others. Look into Karma and Ying and Yang. Embrace life and be ready for it to end anytime so be sure to at least try doing the things that make you and people around you happier or wiser.
Please take a look at my post below maybe you can find something there that will help you.
If there’s no reason that you feel this way, then you are probably clinically depressed and should seek professional help. If there is a reason, then your friends and family should be the ones to talk to, I think.
I used to be just like u…I am still just like you…i cut my legs to…..did…Tell me why….there has to be a reason why

what makes you feel so depressed? life is hard but you can’t just keep paying attention to the bad stuff that goes on, life always gets better. **** happens so that we learn to appreciate the good things we have. took me a while to learn that and it helped me a lot. just don’t give up, give it some more time. and yeah parents are really hard to talk to. when i went to see councelors, my mom would just say that all i do is make everything worse and harder for her and i was like what the *** k? but don’t feel lonely, look for a friend on here, i found most of mine on the web (yes i know they are real people) but they’ve helped me a lot, especially since they were like me too. but good luck to you :]
do you ever think you may be bipolar. I’m not saying you are. Do you have ups and downs or just the downs?
I wish I could help you with this dude. I am in the same place. For me I often find myself begging, pleading with God to end it but unfortunately he never answers. I think it means you are supposed to be here, no matter how ****** an existence it might be. I don’t mean for a higher purpose or anything I just mean that there must be some reason it happens to us while others get to lead “normal” lives. There must be a reason for it. There MUST. I have struggled with it for longer than I care to admit even to myself, before I was aware that it was depression, to me, it was just life.
I have the same problem with you in that anyone close to me would just think I was being a sook, over reacting and being melodramatic. It makes the pain even harder to deal with. The only help I can offer is friendship. Like many of the posters on here I can say I may be a stranger but I am here for you if you need to talk. I am not spiritual or religious, I have no answers, schemes or plans that might get you out of it but I can lend an ear as someone who gets it. Try to hang on. If you need a way of looking at it then maybe the one thing I have found that helps me is to look at it like this: Life (God, Karma, whatever you believe in) is giving you a challenge. This is your (and mine) chance to stare back and say “**** YOU, I WON’T BE BEATEN. WHEN IT ALL COMES TO AN END I WILL SAY WITH PRIDE YOU COULDN’T BREAK ME”. Not sure if that is your thing but it has helped me through some particularly rough patches.
Do you get depress all of a sudden? Like for no reason? It might just be a hormonal imbalance which can be fixed with medicine. You have to see a pyschiatrist for that though.
Maybe you’re parents will understand you. Give them a chance to prove that. Maybe you just think that they won’t understand but maybe they went through what you’re going through. Do you have friends you can trust? You can talk about it here if you want. We’d be happy to help.
When you cry a lot for no reason, maybe there’s uderlying, unresolved issues that you are facing? Did you have a bad childhood? Sometimes, we feel bad and we just don’t know why. There maybe a reason but you’re just not aware of it.
When you feel sad, do something fun. List down all your blessings. Dance. Sing. Draw etc.
the world would not be better off with out you, but if you do nothing you will not affect it at all.
you should go out and do stuff more often.
keeping yourself active will help in keeping these feelings away
Even if right now things seem pretty bleak, like you have no control and no happiness, I guarantee you you can be happier in the future.
If you think no one cares about you, you’re wrong, even though I’ve only read a post from you, I’m scared in how I phrase my words because I’m truly scared you will kill yourself, despite what you think, despite how you’ve interpreted other’s actions towards you - they could very well care for you, and there can be more then just care, there could be that someone now or in the future who loves you, who will make you happier then you ever have felt in the past, in all those painful holes and trenches you’ve been in, there’s still a ramp up.
I think what you need to do ASAP, is call a suicide hotline, they’re not judgmental and they’ll guide you through the things to get you better.

What should you do? Well, I think asking questions and rationally thinking about them would be a start. For example, why do you think the “world would be better off without you?” Is this a subjective or objective point? Is this logical? Is this likely true? What are the positives of you being in the world? Who would be affected by you not being in the world? What can you do or do more of to make the world around you better? Can you change some of the things around you? If not, what can you change in yourself to make the world better?
Ask yourself questions, find the reason that you feel this way.
you can talk to me about anything and am serious , maybe u dont know me but trust me u can trust me , i have been through alot of **** i know wat ur talking about i tried it to bu trust me it wont do u any good, try go to a theripst or move out or draw or sing dance anything or even try talking to someone .
but if u kill ur self its not good .
do NOT kiil urself. the world woodnt b a better palce without u, and i meen, lookit all these ppl hoo care about u, wen they dont even no u!
i agree wiv basma, try doin summin creative to let out ur pain, lyk poetry, music, drawing, dancing, any type of sport etc…
not 2 make freinds or socialise if ya dont wanna, but just 2 let pain out in a positive way.
mbe rite a letter 2 ur parents about how u feel…u dont hav 2 send it, but just riting it may make u feel better. i hope u feel better and pleez do not kill urself.
im depress all night everyday i feel so like the hold world is on me i been locked up in my house for 2 years cause i was depressed no 1 to talk 2 my mom dont even listen to me she make me feel so dum or make me think im stupid all tha is killin me ma dad killed my joy it so hard sumtime i wanta jump off a clif i just wanta be happy but wat would u do if ur family dont care bout u or even talk wit u or no where to go go help me please
your parents? the ones who love you? I don’t believe they will think your overreacting. If they new what you were going through they would do anything to help you through it. Please Please let them help you, before you do anything more to harm yourself further. What would it do to the ones who love you if you killed yourself? Just think about that and tell someone
you have to seea therapist because there might be something wrong with chemicals in your brain which can easily be solved with medication .
Look dear If you think about killing yourself then i think you dont know excatly the value of life your life and the nature which god has given to us.Remember one thing you are not born for this action and with this thought.You have to think about yourself first like who are you ? what is your existance in this world and why you born as a human.if you feel like killing yourself do one thing take a copy or blank paper and write down question why i want to kill myself ? ask question with yourself why i think like that ? what makes me feel that i am usless ? or why people make fun of me ? do this in some alone place ok
Then i will tell you what to do ? first do all these thing which i have mentioned.
Wish you a happy life and happy moments ahead.

I get depressed alot and normally think of kill myself. I know this isn’t right and i shouldn’t think that way but i don’t know what else to do. I’ve self harmed before, on place people don’t see like me legs. I feel like i have no one to turn to, i can’t tell my parents because they’ll think i’m over reacting or just being stupid. I cry alot for no reason and think maybe the world would be better off with out me. What should i do?
