Its the same for me. I think it happens to me cuz Im the only one awake and Im alone to dwell on things. I end up crying every night too, so I know how you feel. Being around people and having someone with you is a way that helps me keep my mind off of depressing thoughts. I also have a journal to write down my feelings, its not good to bottle everything inside. I also still sleep w/my teddy bear(lol, i know. But im still a minor so no pointing and laughing at me plz)

1st- you fight ur demons all day so at night you are the weakest and stuff

2nd- at night you have more time on ur own, mish may lead you to be not busy and that could lead you to start thinking about the past,present,future -> could lead to ur sadness and stuff

but..whats gonna happen if i keep it botteled up..cause there really is no one in my house that i can talk to..and i hate talking to my friends about my depressing feelings
so i was just planning on keeping it botteled up for a very long time..whats the worse that could happen?

and other than that i understand what your saying.maybe that is it

lol about the teddy bear..nahh its ok.
:)

Keeping it inside made me turn to cutting. I still struggle with it every day, it doesnt help with my sadness. Ive trid killing myself numerous times too. Thats also still a struggle. So please, just express urslef. Music,art,writing, anything like that can help

of things to think about that can make me really depressed.but even if im not thinking about those certain things..why do i still get depressed?

but everything i do, my family sorta has to put me down about it..even if it just comes to art..i dont know how to express myself..i was thinking of making a journal in which i can write in every time ifeel depressed ..

but i have cut myself before..and your right..it is a struggle.. i just hate everything..why cant everything just be ok

its just the way it is. You have to stop thinkin of the negative and start with the positive. I never show my family my art. I keep it in a little folder I have. I started up poetry and Its going really well. Ive only showed my family 2 poems that I made out of the 30. So you dont hae to show ur family these things, its for your own self. :)

yea..but i mean i really dont have any privacy either..so as soon as my family finds out that im doing art..they sorta start poking fun at me saying stuff like ” oh your really gonna get your feelings out” then they just laugh and stuff..that really puts me down.
and thats when i feel like cutting myself becasue then i feel very trapped and controlled..and i always feel like im being watched over

Im sure theres some way u can get privacy.Do u still go 2 school? Maybe u can stay after for art class er somethin and explain urself to one of the art teachers. U can simply say”I have a hard time expressin myself at home, do u mind if I can do that here after school?”

I usualy cant sleep till 3-5 am so I have plenty of privacy to express myself. It can be a bad thing too, cuz its an easy time to cut/OD

ohhh ..thats a really good idea..
yea im in high school..and that’ll hopefully work

I suggest start reading a book every night. Slowly you will get into a habit of reading before you sleep. This will keep all the depressing thoughts away and it will fill your mind with new thoughts. Start with a good novel and slowly move to more serious stuff. Catch up on your studies or write a diary. Also get a pet. pets are known to reduce depression.

U can try that, good luck! :D

yea thats true, but you really shouldnt cut your self or harm yourself in any way
it could lead to further things..like you were talking about..its tough
but everyone gets through it

well i think that you have to accept ur past and truly accept it and realize that what is done and done and you cant change it but the only thing you can do is move forward in life… that the first thing to do, from there on it get’s abit more complicated…

I used to have a huge issue with this when my best friend of eight years and I got out of touch. Used to stay up all night, or go to bed 3 am or later, and get up at 5 am for school. It’s hard. It really is. But, whatever it is, subconsiously, consciously, or whatever, you need to shove past it.

A friend of mine gave me the best advice ever. It might not directly apply to you, but it might help. He told me, “Don’t be the person that needs to rely on someone else for fun, or to keep life great. Be the person that people need to rely on for that. Open up and live life to your fullest. One day, you will die, and you don’t want to die feeling like that.” he told me to, “Go find something that you enjoy doing without people. That’s just as great as being with your friends.”

I’m not sure if that helps at all, but, hopefully it’ll get you somewhere.

actually..yea that does help..but sometimes things just seem soo hopeless
..i just feel like giving up

but yea it does help :)

=] I’m glad.

Life will ALWAYS have it’s ups and downs. You gotta push through it. I’ve learned to expect the worst; always. That way, whenever anything good happens, I enjoy it all that much. xD I’m a total pessimist, though… -Shrug-

Anyways, glad I could help out in the lest bit.

heh, my bro says im a pessimist too. :P Hes an optimist. :/ we dont get along very well.

go to sleep
