Hi people I randomly discovered this site and it almost made me cry at how many people are just giving up on themselves and think that the only way to deal with your life and problems is to die. Well it certainly isn’t  i myself have been here and when I was 12 i took an overdose to try and kill myself Failed obviously and so for all those people who think I dont know how you feel I do.
We all feel alone sometimes even when theres people around you you can still feel trapped by society, friends , family and life in general day to day living can feel meaningless and without emotion. Please don’t waste your life because of others whether its your family they may have brought you into this world but they should not be the reason you leave it, you dont get on with them then leave a classic saying “if you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best”
I imagine that most people on here have more of a life than others i mean for starters were all on computers so were already ahead of most of the world some people have nothing and still find the means to wake up every day and tackle life.
When im feeling down i can relate to music a lot of musicians get depressed and the most beautiful lyrics come out, i like the smiths words like ” I was looking for a job and then I found a job and heaven knows im miserable now”
Seriously people you are your own destiny and even if you don’t think so I imagine there are hundreds of people who would love to trade lives with you.
Self pity is a horrible place to exist and when your feeling down and your thoughts turn just know that your lives are valuable maybe not to you but to people around you that might fall apart themselves without you.
What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.
Have a nice day x

I wish I lived in a village that didn’t have computers or television or mirrors or people. Seriously though, life would be so much easier without the pressures of living in a vain society
I know society is shit, all they do is say you are shit and everything is your fualt…FUCK SOCIEY.
Sorry but..blaahhh!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t mean to be rude, you are trying to help…but when you feel like shit you just don’t want to see another day…argh..1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
self-pity? Really?! You think that’s what suicidality is about, self-pity? I don’t care what you did when you were 12, but I can assure you that you do not know how I–or probably most of the folks on this forum–feel. Chronic suicidality is unbearably painful and a very heavy burden to carry. There is nothing easy about suicide. To say that people with psychiatric illnesses are self-pitying if/when they feel suicidal is like telling cancer patients that they’re wallowing in self-pity for seeking chemo.
I don’t expect you to understand this, most people certainly won’t. Just know that it isn’t as simple as somebody wishing they could trade lives with me. Depression isn’t a function of what you have. It’s an illness.
