To everyone out there that wants to give up and end their life, please don’t do it. I don’t know your stories, or what you’ve been through, but I know that their is no situation that can’t get better. You may not believe me when I say that, but it’s true. Last year I was suicidal, I took large amounts of pills, I cut myself, I cried myself to sleep everynight. But one of my best friends encouraged me, and he gave me hope and I will always be grateful. You don’t know me, and I don’t know any of you and i’m only 15 so maybe I don’t really know what i’m talking about but I care what happens to every single on of you. Please, don’t give up. Life is hard, and it hurts, but it gets better. I promise
share your suicide story

Thank you,and thanks for your surport.I’am sure everybody here thanks you as well.I’am glad sombody cares becouse in our world today their aren’t that many poeple that do.
AngelErin, I’d have to disagree with you on this. I appreciate your enthusiasm and good will toward the betterment of all of us suicidal people, but I don’t believe raw optimism to be successful; especially in serious cases.
For someone like myself, optimism is as arbitrary as pessimism and therefore serves no real purpose. I recognize that my being optimistic doesn’t necessarily have to do with or affect what actually “is.” However, because I may be optimistic, I will be more inspired to change things and therefore the simple optimististic mindset is useful if it encourages some sort of action. In my case, however, I prefer look at things realistically.
Idk man. I mean for some, and I only really know of two others besides myself, optimism and hope are just arbitrary empty ideas that don’t really serve a purpose. They are often inadvertantly used as placebos, but because I’ve already recognized this, it doesn’t work.
Also, if I were to feel better in the future and somehow no longer suicidal, I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t say that everyone can get to that point. It’s completely relative. I don’t promote or advocate suicide, but I don’t discourage it either.
My friend, I hope I didn’t sound condescending. What you wrote will surely inspire a lot of people and I hope that it does. I would like to know if you are able to acknowledge what I’ve had to say about this, that’s all. Thanks.
Hey,
Thanks for caring and for being optimistic.
I just recently tried this out in practise. Was pessimistic for a while and kept feeling worse and worse.
Then switched to being optimistic and felt better and better. Anyway, I was able to handle life better.
But personally I mainly believe in action. I think optimism can take you from “rock bottom” to “pretty crappy”. But it is your actions/behaviour that might take you the rest of the way. I write “might” because I don’t believe success is guaranteed.
Also, many of us (I think) avoid optimism for fear of disappointment.
To sum up: Optimism has its merits.
Broken Dreams- There is no need to thank me, caring should be something that everyone does for each other. We’re all people, we all have feelings and we all deserve to feel like someone is there and we all need that. Unfortunatly, that’s not the way it is for so many people. I just want to show those people on this website that if they keep looking they will find someone. Talk to me whenever you want, that’s why I made this account ( : And if you ever have a bad day and need a smile, check out this website. givesmehope.com. I love it! ( :
Tom Davis and muspelhem- You both said basically the same things so i’ll just write to you both. First of all, Tom i’m so sorry you feel that way. Honestly, optimism and hope have kept me going. Maybe that’s because i’m a christian and I have a relationship with God, or I used to at least. I don’t know. And please don’t judge me because of the fact i’m a christian, i’m not going to try to shove God down your throats if you talk to me or anything. I’m not some weirdly religous extremist, i’m a normal teenager. I mess up everyday, I cuss, I have sex, I fight with my parents. So i’m obviously not here to judge you either. But back to the optimism topic. I understand if you feel like optimism is pointless or disappointing in the long run. In some cases that’s true, and I totally respect your point of veiw. Thanks for sharing it with me : ) All i’m trying to do on this site is let people know they don’t have to be alone, there are people out there who care. I care what happens to both of you, and I hope you don’t take your lives. I believe you can always find something to live for, or something to find happiness from. Seeing people on here say thank you for caring about them makes me happy, lol. I don’t know what the reality of all this is, but anyways thanks both of you for telling me your thoughts. Talk to me whenever you want ( :
Hi AngelErin,
Just read your answer now, and am encouraged by your story.
Also, I’m impressed that at 15, you’re reaching out and helping people in need in a sensitive way.
I wish you all the luck in the world with this effort 🙂
Just reading this makes me feel happy 😀
