I just joined this site today. I am turning 17 in April and in the last four years I have had five attempts and the thought of dying burdens me everyday. It has taken over my my entire being, and I know its not what I want but when you feel something so strong and so often how can it not be the right thing? I know I’m weak so I hate myself for drawing attention to something I don’t even have the courage to do. I just don’t know what to do, and there hasn’t been anyone to talk to. I found this site and I just thought maybe talking to someone that is going through what I am would be good.

Hey,
I’m 19 and I know the feeling. Feel free to let it all out here. I only found this site a couple weeks ago, and it’s really done wonders for me, just to talk to some people that understand and won’t be judgemental.
Also, if you want, you can email me any time…. amahaffey444 @ gmail dot com.
I just joined too, and I’m amazed there are people who are feeling what I am. We feel so alone…
I hate that feeling, of being afraid to talk to people. They don’t understand and it feels like laying a huge burden on them.
Agree, this site has opened my eyes and allowed me to notice that I’m not the only one who thinks these things. Your not alone, everyone is hesitant when it comes to ending ones life, but that doesn’t mean your a coward, it just means that there’s something that still keeping you here even if you don’t realize it.
i know what you mean about laying a huge burden on other people, but at the same time its like i want someone to know what im going through but i know how selfish that is. The main thing holding me back is leaving my mom and honestly not knowing where I could do it..
