I’ve never felt this suicidal before. For the past 24 hours I have just been in this constant state of desperation. I smile, I laugh, I carry on with life, but in the back of my head I’m gone. My thoughts are disturbing. I’ve considered waiting until after my open house to kill myself, that way the open house money can pay for my funeral. Or I’ve thought about telling the school counselor to tell my parents everything we’ve talked about and then killing myself before I make it home. I don’t want to live anymore, I really don’t.

Hey there, I can see that life feels tough for you right now. I also get the sense that you feel that very few people understand you. But things can and do change. With help and support you will begin to see things differently.
Your counsellor sounds like a very caring person, and someone you can trust. She is offering you support, which is great, but she is not the only person who can help. Can I suggest that you think about who else you can tell that you are thinking about suicide? Other people you can trust, and professional help also. I believe that you need more help form professionals who know about the effects of an eating disorder, and perhaps depression. These two illnesses can have a significant effect on your thoughts and feelings. They can also cause you to have thoughts of suicide.
I cannot comment on the relationship with your folks, but it appears that they find it difficult to comprehend that their child can be so unhappy. May I suggest that they also need some help to understand you.
Posting these messages tells me that you want to live, and I am pleased that you are reaching out for help in this way. But please, please talk to your general practitioner or counsellor and ask for more practical help. It will take time for you to feel better, but you will do with this help.
Take care, and stay safe.
Hey hon. Please, please don’t kill yourself. Get help before its too late. So many young people are killing themselves these days and we try to help you guys in the schools, but if you don’t talk to us then how can really help?
