We’re all on here because we lost hope or sight of the beauty in life. FIND HELP. Don’t just end your life, or resort to something that is going to do even more harm. You’re all so amazing and special, so don’t give up.
I wish I was nice enough to say stuff like this. If I’ve ever learned anything in the past two years it’s this, life is bad but don’t give up. There will always be people there for you, someway. Somehow.
It’s hard to believe that I am amazing and special when I spend most of my time alone cutting myself to try to distract my mind. Now I just wish for some balls so instead just doing these little scratches, I could slash deep enough to cut both carotid arteries and the jugular vein.
Find help? I like to think sometimes that everything gets better. But the truth is I am not needed. Help is expensive and Health care staff Loathe people like me. I have seen and felt it myself.
Society would gladly kill us, but there are laws that stop that from happening.
I-I just don’t know what I am supposed to do… I doubt I am the only one..
I don’t feel so good about your post. I’m sure you meant it in a nice way, but in my experience, sometimes nothing will help. Sometimes you’re just fucked.
I’ve been asking for and receiving “help” for many years now. And you know what? It’s not helping. They don’t have a “cure” for me. Which is just tough luck.
Now I never asked to be born into this hell, and yet “society” won’t help me leave it. People will gladly watch me suffer, watch me writhe for years on end, but as for my humble wish to be allowed to die, nope, I’ll have to do that all alone, clumsily, without any guarantee that I won’t just be crippling myself further. I won’t get to say goodbye to my friends or my family.
So when I hear the tired old mantra of “seek help”, I cringe. When will society truly care and help us miserable souls find peace?
true – everyone is amazing a special in their own ways … key is to find and exploit those attributes … learn from what doesn’t work and bypass the roadblocks in our lives to continue moving forward instead of trying to tear them down

No one can help you…just guide you. The peace you seek is within you….it is your task to find it…and no one else can find it for you…this you must do yourself. So reread the OP…she sees something in you that you can’t see anymore…does that mean it isn’t true?…no…you are special and unique…but hurt and confused…aren’t we all? but the answer is forward and inward…not backward and outward…no one controls your mind but you…so after achieving a PHD in suffering?…why not just try something different? I dunno…old and idealistic I guess
Few understand that this is not something you can just snap out of. If a simple morale boost was sufficient you wouldn’t even be on this site. If your lives, taken at there highest were tolerable then surely that would be satisfactory. I think that endurability is something that can be achieved in time.
I am trying to understand.. Maybe you have talents or skills that make living a bit easier.. I can’t really tell.. I have tried various hobbies and things to do, my problem just seems to be that I don’t improve. School was hell… It’s painful to watch how others improve and fulfill their dreams while I am in a dead end.. *sigh* I don’t know what I am even trying to say anymore. I appreciate that you’re trying to help. Maybe some people are just…. Too.. Helpless? I am not sure if that is even the right expression.
I don’t speak english as my native language, so I apologize for all the grammatical errors.. I haven’t given up completely yet… Well.. Back to lurking this website, maybe I can think up something.
That’s ok, you communicate well enough. Persevere with mental health treatment. Be cautious and ensure that you are in a safe environment before exploring new things.
No one dies virgin here life fuck us all at some point of time and we have 2 choice either move on or quit maybe we should help each other find away out from the depression , problem we all are facing here . you can contact me jamesstewart279@yahoo.com
That was a nice post…. and I never WANT to give up. At some point, however, things remain ‘challenging’ no matter how hard I try. Way deep down, there is some hope… I wish that some actual good results were mixed in with that hope. With that said, you wrote quite a nice paragraph.
Find help? Exactly what kind of “help” are you referring to? A therapist maybe? I’ve seen many therapists, for several years, and they didn’t help at all. Or maybe you mean medications? Well, of the 7 (or was it 8, I can’t remember) drugs I’ve tried, none of them in their varying dosages and combinations made any difference. Frankly, I doubt you could think of anything I haven’t tried and it’s fucking condescending to just say “get help” particularly when it’s not exactly some kind of genius idea. I mean, it’s not like I’ve never heard that advice before.
Help can mean a therapist. I’ve been battling depression and cutting myself for 6 years so I know it’s not easy. I’m not trying to make your situations seem smaller than they really are, but I’m just saying a lot of us here have similar problems so instead of just trying to end it all, talk to each other and learn how to keep each other going. Life is truly beautiful, a lot of us just lose sight of that. You’re all amazing i assure you. SO IF ANY ONE NEEDS TO TALK MY EMAIL IS aimee.m.zavala@gmail.com I talk to anyone and I’ll try to reply ASAP. You’re all important.

Don’t you think if it was that easy we’d all be out getting help instead of posting stories here?

Hope this helps those who have chosen life or who are on the fence.

“You’re all amazing i assure you.” — To put it simply, thank you…. and thanks for offering your e-mail address. It’s a very nice gesture.
It’s seriously no problem. A lot of people on here just need the right type of guidance and support and I hope that you all can find that.
