I apologize now because this will be a long post. Doubt anyone will actually read it but I need to just find somewhere to put my feelings. I see a therapist two times a week. Every night I’m too scared to go to sleep because when I turn off the lights and try, that’s when the thoughts get the worst. “You’re a f***ing piece of shit please kill yourself.” “You’re burdening everyone, you’re gonna do them a favor by doing this to yourself.” Thoughts like that constantly. Those are more of the calm ones. Sometimes i hear almost like a voice screaming at me to kill myself. I have images of slitting my throat to watch myself bleed, laying my head on rail road tracks so that it decapitates my head when a train goes by, standing in front of a train, crashing my car into a tree as fast as i can get it before i hit the jump by my house, stabbing myself and screaming hateful things at myself, blowing my brains out, hanging myself. The images are so gruesome in my mind. I use to cut my stomach. It started off as scratches that didn’t always draw blood, but i would scratch my entire chest and my entire stomach until there was really no where left to keep doing it. My friend eventually told my parents everything and I had to give up that knife to my parents and start seeing the therapist i do now. I cleaned my room recently and found one of my old knives. It’s small but its still quite sharp. I’m backing to cutting and I love it and i missed it so much. I do both my thighs now and I make sure it bleeds. I love the burning sensation so much. It’s the only pain I can control. I wake up tired every morning no matter how much sleep I get. The thoughts are exhausting, the images are too. I plan on giving up soon. My friends that I have told about this all say that I can get through it, but the thing is, I don’t want to get through. I wanna finally hit my boiling point, snap, and finally end this bullshit thing i deal with every day called a life. I was born with pneumonia and i wish all the damn time that i died when i was born with it. I hope this next part doesn’t offend anyone if someone is actually reading this, but i wish that I had cancer so that that would kill me and i didn’t have to do it myself. I’d trade my life for a cancer patient. I hate waking up every morning. I’m pretty sure, on top of depression, suicidal thoughts and tendencies: that i also have anger problems too. I can get angry over the littlest things. Sometimes i can control it. Other times I can’t. Who knows how much longer I have here. I hope I dont have too much longer. If one of my wishes come true I pray that it is this one: I pray that no one ever has to deal with this anymore. No one deserves this. No one deserves to think like this. I swear to God, if i could, whoever thinks like i do, i would take their pain away and bring it all on me. That’s a little bit of my story. Kinda feels good to talk about it.

Hey, I know that life sucks ass, man. But I hope that you can pull through it. I know that you have the capability of doing it, but I also know that you don’t have the motivation to do it. But you can. If you ever need to talk, you can talk to me. I will listen & do the best that I can to make you at least smile. Keep your head up, darling.
I’d be really scared to talk to you honestly. Most of the people I’ve told finally stopped caring and/or completely started ignoring me. I have trust issues because of that now. I can’t really make friends anymore because I’m scared they’ll leave me too and i get attached easily.
I understand that. I get attached easily as well. But how can I ignore someone who is harming themselves just to feel something, when I’ve done it as well? I’m willing to listen whenever. & if you do not wish to talk about how you’re feeling with me, that is okay. I just hope that you turn out okay in the end.
You’ve dealt with this? You still do or did you get through it?
I have dealt with self-harm. I got through it, just like you can get through it.
Depression, however, I’m still trying to work over. & that’s okay.
I love self-harm though. I know its just some sick lie my mind is telling myself but the satisfaction i get out of it is real. But seeing a therapist two times a week while i also have to see a psychiatrist to get put on medicine is stressful. I never wanna be dependent on medicine.
I didn’t want to be dependent on medicine, either.. that’s why I quit taking mine. But yet, I’m still getting worse.
You may think that the cuts are helping you, but they aren’t. They’re just going to make everything harder. I wish you would see that. Maybe you do, but you don’t want to acknowledge it. I used to see a therapist as well, but I felt like I was a burden to the family & annoying to the therapist. So I told them I was fine & stopped going.
But you need to try to get better, love. I understand that it’s hard & I get that you love self-harm, but that’s not something that you should love. It’s horrible. It’s terrifying. It’s terrifying to know that if I’m capable of harming myself, then what can I do to others? I hope you get better.
thank you. I wish the best for you as well. I barely know you and i can tell that you would be a quality human being to be around. It seems like with everything going on with you, you still have hope that it gets better and i admire that about you. I know self-harm is a horrible thing to love. I only wish harm upon myself. I would never take it out on others. I could never.
I read it. Keep writing. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn’t. Even if no one comments, you are among friends here.
I’ve wanted to be a writer for the longest time. I feel like it kind of helps me to write about this. But it also kind of brings back up emotions I’ve suppressed.
Exorcism in the house 😉 entities put thoughts into our minds we know what are our thoughts and what’s not. Seriously though though you should stop cutting. Drugs suck but I know they help me and with the disturbing thoughts chains of thoughts and voices they suck
I know I should probably stop but its hard. Its almost kind of like an addiction. I can’t get in too see a psychiatrist until mid-June to get medicine. I really don’t know if I’m going to last that long.
Just try to last long we don’t expect the world of you. Sucks being in your part of the country I can say shit and a psychiatrist will see me within 10days tops. If I say anything too bad I know I’ll go back to the psych wards so gotta watch myself.
