My first suicidal thoughts started when I was 8 years old. my first suicide attempt was at 9. I have been diagnosed with mixed receptive expressive language disorder and non verbal disability disability, which almost makes me socially disabled, not to be confused with mentally disabled. I have been severely bullied my whole entire life, even to this day at 20 years old. When I was 14, my father passed away of copd, and my sister two days later of an accidental  drug overdose. I also had 2 cats and 1 dog pass away that year. I was numb the whole entire time. 5 years later I still haven’t been through the last stage of grief, which is acceptance. Growing up, I had my parents, but they weren’t really there. My dad was sick my whole life up until he died, I don’t even remember him ever being healthy. And my mom was always working. I dreaded going to school, and I dreaded going home. I also always looked up to my sister. She was everything I wanted be. She was beautiful, she was popular, and all the boys loved her. She was always the person I went to for advice, up to the day she passed away. I feel like I could have prevented it. She asked me to spend the night at her place, but I wanted to be home instead. I slept on the floor of the spot my father died (he was on hospice). Even to this day I still want to seek revenge on the people that stole her valuables instead of calling an ambulance. also, I’m a very rotten person. I deal with my depression by being angry. Almost everything irritates me and I’m a real snot. I wish I wasn’t, but it’s so, so, so hard to control. I don’t take any medication. I took them before and I feel like I’m much better off them than I am on them. If there was a pill that I only have to take once to take all this depression and anger out of me, I would take it in a heartbeat. Sometimes I hate my family. The only reason why I keep myself alive is because I know they love and care about me. If they didnt, I would be long gone. I would’ve gotten rid of me a long time ago. i know this sounds selfish, but just my family (which consists of 3 people now) caring about me just isn’t enough. I want someone, just one person who Im not related to just to call me once in a while to ask how I am. My family, and my cat (who has been loyal to me for the past 12 years since I got her) is the only thing keeping me alive. The only time I really cry is when I very angry and I hold it in. I feel like if I cry, I show others that I’m weak and they feel like they have a license to treat me like crap. My suicidal thoughts have been coming more and more, and I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t even know how many times I went to walk to the hardware store, and I don’t know how much longer I have until I actually make it there and use it. I don’t know anything. I’m miserable, I’m selfish, and I wonder what the actual purpose is of god putting me on this earth. I can’t imagine why he would want me to suffer like this.

I’m 14 right now and i may not understand how you feel about losing your dad and sister but i can completely relate to everything else; being depressed, wanting to be loved, looking up to your sister, questioning god about yourself, being angry, attempting suicide ect. It really seems like you’ve had it really hard because you have but i can assure you that one day, all of it will get better. one day you wont be depressed anymore and you’ll have people loving and caring about you whether that’s in “heaven” or if its when you’re happily married and when you have your own family that loves and cares for you! Heck I even care about you and i just met you!! You’re only 20, you have your whole life ahead of you (typical motivation quote) and in the future you will be happy no matter where you end up. Just try imagining something amazing that makes you happy and then expand on that and try and make it happen in your future <3
Hi! I’m 20 too. just wondering if we can be friends. 🙂
I’m from Mongolia. it’s an asian (un)developing country. currently, I’m studying in India.
Life seems very boring to me. I think I have no big issues. but my family members are quite cold, we don’t speek that much to each other. I’m a quite person. sometimes shy. well, you can tell my past life was a nerd’s life. have no friends, well i have one, but she’s in my country now and we never talked deeply to know each other’s true self.
I’ve been constantly thinking of cutting and smoking. Never tried both. Whatever, it’s just that I’m bored to death.
oh yeah, i’m a tomboy btw. not a lesbian.
it’s been 17 months away from home, and I’m struggling to find my own mind.
so this is me. we can be friends, if you want.
