I’ve been on several websites for suicide now. All forums. I suppose I keep coming to search for something. Maybe a reply that says it’s okay. I’m an atheist, so I don’t want to hear anything that has to do with your Jesus, Allah, etc. I also don’t want to hear anything about waiting longer for shit might actually change in two, three, or ten years. I’ve been depressed since I was in middle school. I’m 21 now. It started when I was a child. It’s obviously the cause for my stupidity to begin with. My childhood was filled with many forms of abuse. My amazing daddy not only beat me every f***ing day, but as well as his friends. Giving your friends that much control of your daughter, it’s not a surprise that one of them molested me. My daddy also got a little too friendly. I didn’t know how to say no either, because apparently that gives others a right to my body. Like my sister’s friend at the time loved to play touchies. You would think a seven year old would know better than to touch little girls. I guess I’m not surprised on that either. My parents, ever since I could even remember, were alcoholics. Every day they would get trashed. My father would beat my mother senseless and my mother would just ignore everything else that was going on. I never had a mother, nor a father that actually loved me. I never received hugs, or “I love you’s.” My parents didn’t care what I looked like, so it wasn’t a concern that I went to school with dirty clothes with holes in them. I didn’t get friend of the year award either, because they all ignored me! They made fun of me. I was bullied in school and then came home to an older brother who would burn the dolls I did have with a lighter and hair spray. I had a seven year old sister who would boil me carrots when I was hungry. I never had any friends throughout elementary, middle, or high school. People constantly abused me, whether it being emotionally, or physically. I started to cut myself and do drugs when I was in ninth grade, but no one paid any mind to me. I admit, in the beginning, I did it for attention. No one cared about me and no one still bothered to care when they saw my marks. My mother would give me dirty looks and call me a dirty lesbian. Like I said, I’m 21 now. Things haven’t changed. I’ve tried moving out. I’ve tried working my ass off, but those thoughts, those feelings still remain. I don’t want attention anymore. I’m done with that. What I want now is to be erased. I wan’t to be forgotten and most importantly, I wan’t to forget about myself. The torture of having to wake up and realize I’m still here is horrendous. I’ve tried suicide a couple of times. Landing me in the hospital for a week. You think it was obvious something was wrong if I overdosed on pills, but I simply said I had a headache and everyone believed me. Everyone carried on with their lives. I carry no importance with me. I have been and always will be alone. The pain I harbor hurts so bad. The hatred I feel for not only my so called family, but for myself, is consuming me. All I ever feel now a days is sadness and rage. I can’t let my past go and I know that’s the problem I am facing, but here’s the thing. I can’t let it go. I’ve tried numerous times. I really did, but all of these feelings come back. The depression hits me like a wave. I can literally feel the wave consuming my positive thoughts and all that’s left is my shell. I feel absolutely insane inside. I quit college, because I couldn’t concentrate, but mainly because I couldn’t work and go to school full time. I also hated school. I don’t want to study. I don’t want to work. I don’t want a house with two kids. I don’t any of that. I don’t want to do anything anymore. Every turn I made I was faced with even more problems. They were piling up and I just can’t keep up with it anymore. My view on myself doesn’t help either. I’m a good for nothing piece of crap and I deserve what has happened to me. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about suicide. I really do crave it. I’m a wuss though. I don’t know how to pull that trigger. Everyday I try to encourage myself, but I don’t have energy to do anything anymore. My emotions go back and forth. Sometimes I already feel dead. I want kill myself, because it’s simple. There is no point in living. Everyday I’m miserable. I am always crying and feeling so sad it’s suffocating. I’m sick and tired of it and no matter what I do nothing works. I can’t afford health insurance and I don’t want my family to know. They’ll judge me even more. I just want to do this for myself. I want to be selfish for once. I want it to be permanent. I don’t ever want to be Jasmine again. I hate her and I can’t wait until I’m no longer her, so what in the hell is stopping me?

How can you leave the past behind you if you still live there? You need to get away from that place. Away from those people. A new beginning so you can start to heal.
I was trying to forget, but I just can’t get over it. I guess, because no one even cares what they did to me. I moved out, but am now staying at my sister’s so I can save up, but with everything revolving around money, it’s even more stressful. Trying is just a lot more harder than I thought it would be, especially when all I feel is depression. I don’t know how to find the happiness in things when I am constantly miserable.
I’m very touched by your story I know how you feel I have been struggling from depression and bipolar ever since I was 14 and now I’m 24 almost 25 my coping mechanism skills is that I write but lately I have been thinking about my life and all the things I want to do, find things you like to do and do those things go to a mhmra and its free and it helps, I’m currently under a doctor and I have a caseworker who talks to me you need someone who will talk to you and who will listen to you take it one day at a time I love you for you and your story. We need to survive because someone needs to hear our story and our struggle. Someone is waiting on you to overcome and pull through so they can come through too. You are important, you are here for a reason. Stay strong you are not alone.
I considered talking to someone, but I can’t afford health insurance. Apparently I make too much to have government assistance. I try to remain positive, but it’s hard when everything I do goes wrong.
Yeah I can say that you do have valid reasons for being depressed etc. Having to grow up in that environment was not something that you deserved. You deserved better then that. But there is nothing we can do about what kind of parents we have and what environment we are born into.
We just pop into the world and when were young we get stuck with what we have. But your older now and you can change things. You should just get away from those people and start off fresh in a new place and put it behind you. I had a very abusive childhood and I was scard buy it for many years. But when I was like 23 I decided to move far away and not contact any of my family and make a life for myself and it was the best thing I ever did. I found a job that I really liked and I became an avid reader and read so much about different subjects that I was able to make better descisions in life. I made friends. I also decided to just forgive my Mom and dad and brother fo the crap they put me through. Its the only way around it. Forgive them then get your own life.
The Key to overcoming the pain of the past is to create a new NOW for yourself.
If you start making choice to make your life better now the past will just go away. Keep yourself busy with making your life better now. Instead of dwelling on the past ……And dont be afraid to seek help if you need it.
You might want to look for a counselor or a psychiatrist you can go talk to. and having somebody to talk to about your stuff might help you to get a release from it.
Lots of people are in spport groups for different things and get a lot of help from them.
You should TRY. At least try to improve upon your position in life and beieve that things can get better. They really can. Lots of people who have been through abusive chidhoods have over come that and lived on to have a great life. You can too.
I was thinking about moving to another state, but to be honest I get stressed just thinking about it, because I have no money. I just don’t know where to start. Whenever I even attempt to try and make things better, I’m overcome by my negative emotions. I just don’t know how to stop it.
This is what i feel
Exactly..
