I’m cutting myself, and my friends say that that’s a sign of weakness. - Help.com

its’ not a sign of weakness, i know exactly how you feel right now.
i have no gf, no job or money and life is worse than hell
talk to me, i’m compleatly in your shoes

You cut, you get judged…

I have no gf, no job, a little bit of money. I am actually quite happy for you see anon and shuan…if you can help let go of the things that affect you most they will no longer be your shackles that stop you from being happy thank you.

every day i try to look up, i try to find happiness in this cruel, disgusting world.
i laugh and make jokes, i listen to music and try to relax but at the end of MY day i stare into the dark void and realize i have nothing, i am nothing
my entire life ive spent falling behind others, too fat, to slow, too short, too smart ect. ive contemplated suicide many times, even had a rope around my neck.
so yeah, i know where you’re comming from..

Why do people always ask me if I’m okay and then just listen to my words? They can see for themselves the scars on my wrists- they’re pale, but obvious…

IF ANYONE BOTHERED TO LOOK!

Every time I manage to convince myself that’s everything’ll be okay, I just end up hurting worse, because my hope was dragged away from me.

But please, anyone who replied to this, even if you just need to talk (shuanmorganisawesome, you too) email me, don’t hurt yourslef. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel… even if it takes you a while to patch up your flat tire… We’ll get through this together.

Hi.. I use to cut.
It isnt a sign of weakness…
It is a cry for help, a way to let the pain out… as also it releases endorphins which is why people get addicted to doing it.
How old r u?
I use to have frizzy hair… mostly cause of stress.
If u want tips on fighting the urge to cut right through to having frizzy hair I can help.

Dont slip into depression hun. It is a tricky hole to get out of.
Life does get better I promise.

apart from the cutting, depression and panic attacks I fought, I have M.S and the treatment almost killed me. My fingers, lips, and feet are numb and tingly because of the M.S and I am stressed.
My Dad is currently in hospital on the other side of the world having a tripple bipass, my mom is a nervous wreak because of this and also has a bad heart,

And yet I am sad but not depressed, cause I know how to fight depression now.
And me being depressed wont help the shiit situations.
We cant control others, but we have control of ourselves.
How old r u?
Is it possible for u and your little brother to go to the doc together to have a chat about depression?

18, suicide, aka he’s dead
MS? ive head of that, what are the symptoms>?

I am so sorry about your brother. Often depression and suicide runs in the family.. It is a lack of a happy chemical in the brain. My great uncle commited suicide, my Dad sufferes depression.. as did I, and my Granny did too, although she resorted to the bottle.
MS starts as tingling and numbness, I have had double vision and loss the use of the muscles on the side of my face 4 a bit. I gave up on the medication 4 it cause it just made me worse. I went a;lternative and apart from the occassiional tingles I have it under control.
Some people loose the use of their legs, and other stuff which is way worse and I dont like to talk about. I wont let it beat me tho.

U like me have been through hell.
We are on a different thought level to many others.
our battles make us wiser and if they dont kill us make us stronger.
Be proud u r still standing my friend. I admire u.

A lot of people in this world are struggling with problems. If we didnt have problmes in this world, how would we know where the good stuff is?

I have lived my whole life with problems. Only problem i had withthat is that my mom, dad, and both of my brothers just thought i had an ager problem. What they failed to realize was that i wasnt angry, they just ignored any time i said something hurt or something was wrong. Now i have a list of problems on my plate that no one in the world can deal with except for me! Its not fair that i have to go though all of this becuase people thought i was angry when only i was asking for help. I had asked for help for years and got ignored and am now trying to fix my life. I didnt know i had been ignored. I thought i was just like everyone else… it sucks when you find out your not.

All i know right now is that i have a lot to deal with. I have a lot to do to make myself better and to make myself happy enough to live the rest of my life to its fullest! I am trying as hard as i can and im hoping im doing it right.

My prayers are with you! ALl of you!

God bless all of you- thanks for the help. Shuanmorganisawesome, keep looking up, I feel you. Good luck, you’re in my prayers.

I have the best friends and family a guy can ask for. I have a great job being a pharmacist and everything is financially sound. Sounds great to most people but it’s apparently not good enough for me. I go through these weeks of depression where I just dont want to do anything, even work out which has always been a high point in my life. And not to sound narcissistic but I’m a good looking guy ( for the time being) but havn’t had a girlfriend in 6 years. I keep everything bottled up. I noticed my hair thinning about two years ago and it has slowly been thinning ever since. I look in the mirror at least an hour a day and just stair at what i’m losing. Once I found out about my thinning hair, about a year later I cut myself on the wrist. It wasnt a suicide attempt, I just wanted to see what it felt like. Now i cut myself on my thighs a few times a month. So now I have these depressive episodes, thinning hair, cutting, oh, and an obsession with plucking out my nose hairs with a tweezers which is borderline ocd. I hide my problems well but hiding these issues just makes me want to cry.
