I’m living a lie now. I’ve pretended to be happy for so long to please the people i thought cared but they don’t, not anymore. All i think about is sadness, loneliness, death and how i can next try it. I just don’t want to be here anymore and I have no one to talk to about it. My foster parents think I’m fine because of how much I’ve lied about it, my boyfriend says I’m tiring him out with all my emotions, my sister is too young to know this stuff, i have no friends left and the ones i do have stay so far away and barely know me. To make things worse I have my ex-best friend constantly on my back at how I’m pathetic and attention seeking, telling people i sleep around when i don’t, how I’m a disgrace because i cut. She drains every piece of happiness i have. I keep all these emotions a secret from my boyfriend because I’m scared ill loose him because hes all i have left who understands a little more than anyone else, but i have to make him happy. I lay in bed crying every single night and i just cant take it anymore. I try to be nice to everyone but no one knows how sad i am, how angry i am at the world, how alone i am. I’m scared of my emotions, they make me do things i don’t want to do. I’m like 2 months clean from cutting, but only because i avoid time in my room, i avoid being alone, i avoid talking about any emotions, but i cant hold it in any longer. I just want to explode, but i have no one to explode on! no one cares enough for me to even listen without asking questions or judging or trying to send me away. i think about cutting and killing myself every single day, i just want to be gone. I bet you’re thinking that if i really wanted to be gone, then i would’ve just done it? well when i tried before my sister was in a state and i didn’t even leave her a note. i know a note wont help, but it’ll help a little. i just cant find the right words to say to her, and I’m not leaving her without anything! i feel like i have no soul anymore, like the darkness within me is taking over. like I’m giving up, slowly but surely. Someone help me find the words to tell these people goodbye? please.

hey, my name is jason and i am 18. first of all i want to tell you that i am here for you and you are nit alone. i have gone through depression and i can relate to what you are talking about when you mean you are pretending to be happy. nobody knew that i was depressed because i would act like i was happy because i didnt want to drag anyone else into my problems. if you feel comfortable telling me your name and/or age that way i can get a better sense of who i am talking to. also are you religious in any way?
hi, im nicola 🙂 can you even private mail on this? :/ im 16, 17 soon! and nope, dont believe in anything.
ok well hi nicola 🙂 i dont want to try to convince you into believing in any religion because i am just starting to belive in God myself. i want to let you know that even as bad as you think your life might be, you are here for a reason and you cant give up on that. i know high school is a tough time to go theough and mine wasnt easy either. i didnt fit in, felt alone, and the most influential person in my life died of cancer. i felt as if there was no way out. my parents caught me trying to kill myself one night and that wasnt what i needed to say the least. they started worrying about me and that is the last thing i wanted. i want you to go look in the mirror and you will see a beautiful woman who has a purpouse in life and is just going through a tough time. one thing i have learned is that life isnt easy. it wasnt planned to be and it never will be. i know you dont believe in god but one thing i know is that God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. everything will work out in the end. i promise you. please dont give up. i love you and many other people do too
thank you for trying. i dont know anymore, its okay. ill get through it… hopefully. thank you though…
i promise it will. if you ever want to talk please feel free to email me or call/text me. jasonduran1@gmail.com 8587408767
