You don´t need to be strong. You need to work on the roots of your depression. To endure it is to postpone your recovery.

Scissors can be quite tempting, but i think you know where that road takes you and it´s not the place you want to be.

Grim Hardcastle responded. ^See?

I’ve written posts before and not had a single response, and, like, 50 views. It happens. I’m not offended or upset when it does, though, because I write them for myself and no one else.

There are so many suicide posts on this website. Sometimes, because of the anonymity of the web, they all sort of jumble together and get lost. I find myself saying the same words over and over to different people going through different situations, but feeling the same emotions.

I’m sorry if you feel ignored.

It says ARAZ and there is a mask (like a theater mask) above it. Big Al One made it for me!

I feel a lot more ignored by people not on this site. I really appreciate your responses! I’ve been on here before and can’t even find the people who used to help me :’(

Yeah I know what you mean. Sometimes, I feel pretty lonely too. You gotta make em notice you! But in a good way, not a homicidal/suicidal way lol.

Things change all the time.
To want the same is natural, but hardly of any real value as we live in an ever changing environment.

To feel ignored and to be ignored are different things. There is always things you can do yourself. You can´t really let the responsibility go to anybody else.

Talk to the ones that wants to talk to you and expand your knowledge to the best of your ability. Then new things will take you from there.

You eventually will get better. You have to be willing to get out of depression. Take small steps and you will get out of the dark cloud that is following you. Don’t loose hope.
