  Ok … first of all, calm down. Lumping all your feelings and problems together make them feel bigger and worse. Why not try looking at them separately.

• (1 vote) I can’t do this.
  

  Ok, so many times I have found myself saying the phrase ‘I can’t do this’.
  
  But I’m still here, talking to you.
  
  I’m not quite sure what gets me through these times. It’s certainly not that I believe I can carry on, because I don’t. It’s not that I think people will be sad if I die, because like you said, they’ll get over it. But something is keeping me here, and I think that it will keep you here too.
  
  I think it’s different for everybody, and can’t be put into words or described or even seen, but there will come a time when you are inches away from giving up, and there will be something screaming at you not to. And you will listen, and although things won’t change immediately, something will happen that will bring you away from the edge, and back onto safe land.

  Just give yourself time, and then get right back up and find some new friends. Don’t let them see how much they’ve hurt you and get some better friends. Have you talked through things with them?

• (1 vote) Why?
  

  You should do what you want. If you want to be a doctor, go for it. Don’t worry about what others think, it’s your life and you should do whatever you will be happiest doing.

  How do you get the will in the first place? I’ve tried, but I can’t do it, so I’ve given up. How do I get the will back?

• Depression has screwed up my life.
  

  Yes, I’m scared of failing … but to me, that’s normal. I’ve always been that way and I’ll probably never change. I don’t really see what’s bad about it. A fear of failure just means I keep trying to be perfect.
  
  I like any type of music really, unless the tune is rubbish or the lyrics aren’t very good.
  
  You’re right that online friends aren’t the same as real ones … they’re better. Don’t give up … you make it sound easy to carry on fighting.

• Depression has screwed up my life.
  

  No, I’m not, I’m guessing my pscychologist will put me on some soon though, she’s understood me more in one week than my counsellor did in a couple of months.

  I have a psychologist, but she’s new so she doesn’t understand yet

• i don’t know what to do.
  

  Hey, have you tried talking to anybody about this? I know how you feel, I truly do, but you need to get this sorted before you turn back to self-harm.
