Every thing hurts and I just want to cut. I’m sorry. I feel like everything is just falling apart and I want to tell my mom I have depression but I’m afraid to. I really need a hug and I’m 98% sure no one would miss me and school is getting worse and worse. I stole some pills from my medicine cabinet and I don’t know if I want to take them or not. I’ve been drinking isopropyl alcohol in hopes I’ll get sick enough to go to the hospital and not have to go to school again. I wish I was dying. But doesn’t everyone on this website?

From experience, I think the best thing you can do, even to relieve just some of the pain is to speak to someone. But speak to a professional who knows how to handle the situation properly. We all make the mistake of confiding in people who we think will understand but they really don’t. Unfortunately the stigma of selfishness, attention seeking or drama queen is still a common way of thinking. Your parents will most likely freak out and your friends will treat you differently. A professional understands you better than anyone of your friends or family. As weird as it sounds because they know how mental illness works. I suggest you try speak to your school psychologist if you can. They can refer you from there. Just know that you don’t need to suffer, you don’t have to feel this way.
If you think your Mom is likely to be able to support you, then tell her. Has she been there for you when you’ve needed her in the past? Is she stable in her own life? If not, then there are other avenues you can pursue for support – school counselors, family doctors, mental health charities etc.
I get that it feels unbearable right now, but try to keep in mind that school is a limited life stage – in a few years it will be over, and many find that life in the real world is significantly different. So it’s about making things as tolerable for yourself as you can until you get there.
Some very great advice! Thank you imsorry, that even helped me. Ive been trying to reach out, expecting people to understand, my family and it is very true what you say about those stigmas.
You’re reaching out and that’s already a huge step forward. We’ve got to keep fighting this this. Getting better is like a team effort ,but you are the MVP! It all starts with you! Keep your head up, and you’ll see that your own resilience can be a very good motivator.
Thanks very much but idk if i want to tell my mom or anyone else
The hospital is the worst place in town. You don’t belong there don’t take the pulls and stop drinking the alcohol.
