I was going through tough times, I had depression, struggling with an eating disorder, and just feeling so different. I felt like no one understood and that I was  this freak. This girl that no one understood, a girl that people laughed at, a girl that people gave dirty looks to.  I fell into a deeper depression, (which i still am in now) About a month ago, it was only cutting, which seemed harmless to me. It almost felt nice, i was numb to pain now.
I stopped for about too weeks.
Then it continued this time, only more intense, more deeper and it became a daily ritual.
I soon started to have suicidal thoughts. Instead of starving myself for anorexic reasons, it became because of depression. My social anxiety became so bad that when i would go to school or any store. I kept my head down the entire time, and my mom said (because i had been starving myself) i looked like a zombie. I would tell her to stop, but i know it’s true.
Then came the thoughts. Suicide.
I was in school one day and I was just thinking, how easy it would be to end my misery. That day, i decided that i could do it. I knew an easy way out. I was planning that when i got home, i was going to end it. To take a knife to my skin, an actual knife and lay down and let myself bleed. In the most pleasant way possible. In my persepective.
I got home that day. Dug out my pocket knife from my drawer and attempted a slice, but it didn’t work.
I tried at the razor, i couldn’t dig deep enough. I had failed.
I put on my hoodie and came downstairs to eat. That night I had been selfish. I imagined how my parents would feel coming in to see a dead body on my bed. What a disturbing image to them. I hadn’t even wrote a note. I forgot.
That was last week.
Still this day, I still want to end my life. But I can’t, guilt is my weakness. So suffering is what i do now.

Can you ask your parents if you can get some counseling? It sounds like you could nip this in the bud if you get some help right away. Often, just having someone to share your thoughts and feelings with and not feel so alone can help. Eating disorders can indicate some sexual abuse or some other deep secret. Any of that going on? That needs to stop if it is. If it stopped, you need to tell someone it happened. You are only as sick as your secrets. Ask for help and stop trying to solve your problems by yourself. It’s a tough life. There are people around who can help you. Seek out an adult, not another kid. They are too emotionally inconsistent.
I am also a child…you are probably older than me, but I know how you feel, like cutting and suicide is the answer. As you already know from experience, it is hard, and if it works (im talking about suicide not cutting) you can hurt a lot of people. I know that its hard. I know that giving up seems to be the answer. Other people might step up. We never know until they reach out. So who knows? it might work out in the end. And you might make a difference
Yep, I’ve been there… a zombie. There are many people who undersstand what you are going through, you’re not alone.
@hbmom-
no it’s because of bullying, my home life is fine.
@hbmom-
my parents think i’m being dramatic so i don’t even think i will attempt to ask for a therapist. I might decide to go turn myself in to the Councillor at school though.
@solitarywalker-
totally agree.
@one_day-
yea, she nags about how pale i am because i don’t like outdoors. I do try to get extra vitamin d though. and she says i walk around like i’m totally out of it. But I have very bad social anxiety.
@bvbarmy how old are you?
Hey Ms,
So “My social anxiety became so bad” is the main issue you believe?
Okay cool, thats easily more fixable then other issues i believe. May i ask who is bullying you and maybe why? i am more then happy to offer some solutions either here or over email/msn but off course that is upto.
But please don’t “learn the habit” of running away or doing things like cutting – all temporary solutions, none of which work.
You seem pretty self aware from what Ive read so thats a big spoitive step towards fixing things.
Feel free to always ask/chat anytime you need to. Always happy to help.
Stay well and take care over the holiday period okay.
Cheers
