So, I used to be a lowkey, small time drug dealer in the biggest city on the east coast. I’ve lived in the hood all my life and who I am is simply a product of my environment. One of my first drug deals was to some tall white kid who wanted a dub of weed. I could tell he didn’t do this often, he used as much slang as he could and even tried to sound “black”. The problem was that this kid wanted to meet at a train station and i didn’t have my metrocard. I hopped the turnstile to get to him. […]
Coping Skills
After my incident with shoplifting, i’m even more convince that i should seek a therapist to help me through these dark times in my life. The problem is i don’t know how to approach my parents about this subject. Also before i joined this site i told no one about my problems, except for a few things i tell my friend. Anyway besides the few things i tell her i repress the rest of my problems, i don’t think i can face them, so with therapy, I’m not sure if I’m ready to unleash all of my problems and face them. Lastly, when my friend went to […]
“Pretty much all religions say there will be some form of armageddon, most people believe that this war is the coming of a messiah or something similar. This war here on earth, this end, or this armageddon is a war of men – good and evil. Evil is most definitely winning and the good people have proved themselves to be pretty useless against it. So, all the good people are waiting for someone to come out of the sky and ‘save them’ ?? ”

It was a rainy, stormy night. There was no one in sight except for the occasional hurrying person probably out on an errand (though it’s unlikely because it was almost midnight). I just walked around the neighborhood, with my headphones on and just…walking. It was also kinda stupid, because God knows what could have happened to me.
But anyway. It was amazing, and I felt alive. I was alone and I could be myself. While the normal person would prefer to go out on a sunny day with clear skies, I’d make peace with the rain. It’s the kind of solitude that keeps me in peace. […]
when i was in the 4th grade my parents decide to get a divorce. everyone who has been through one probably has a similar picture with the same line “we both love you very much”. but after that my dad was gone a lot. so here i am growing up with only my mother who is depressed herself and stressed to take care of 3 kids. we would fight a lot! but one day we got into a huge argument and she locked me in my room. i remember scream crying all day hungry thirsty for water, maybe at one point i got my phone […]
Or create one for yourself, they said.
Like fuck this existensial crisis and depression and anxiety and every mental disorder in the world. Fuck the abuse of any kind anyone of us might have experienced. Fuck this never ending grueling pain that keeps resurfacing no matter how much willpower and positive thoughts and medication you’ve armed yourself already. Fuck this distractions I live in so, you know, life won’t be so bad.
How is it that even when I am supported by people who are there to help I just can’t reach out for that hand no matter how much I stretch it. You wonder if you […]
I’m really struggling to cope at the moment. My car’s MOT is literally up in 2 days. I have to get it sorted because I need my car. Yet, I can’t call a garage to book it in. I’m not scared or being wimpy. Every time I think about doing it, I feel paralysed. It is like there is a lump of asteroid in my throat, going down onto my chest and stopping me from breathing and swallowing.
I can’t stand the thought of going out, having to talk to people. I couldn’t even go shopping, I had to order it online. I’m good to go […]
In metal music. It’s so weird.
Back then when I was listening around different genres I tried to check out metal to see what the big deal was all about. I think it was Metallica, around two or three years ago. I guess you could say, while I had the speakers on full volume, I was blown away (not in a good way) by the sudden barrage of different sounds at the same time. Ok, didn’t like it.
Come what may, fast forward to present time and anxiety or whatever feeling it was yesterday, was killing me. Something was fucking screaming in my head and I had […]
My head is pounding. Absolutely throbbing. I overslept and am late for work. I don’t want to leave my apartment and interact with others. It’s exhausting.
The stimulants I’m prescribed will get me up and going… But in about 2 hours, panic will set in like clockwork. Then another pill for anxiety to calm my nerves and put me to sleep.
There’s no happy medium.
I’m quite upset currently. For many reasons, it’s like I’m carrying an extreme weight all the time but it only bears down on me sometimes. Sometimes I can forget about it for a little bit but it is always there and it is always prominent, in the back of my mind or right infant of me. And right now it’s infant of me, and it’s staring at me like one of the demons from Supernatural. And i wield my invisable sword, and take a swing. Obviously nothing happens, because it’s fucking invisible, but i hold to the idea that I’m trying and perhaps getting somewhere, […]
Hi,
Y’all can call me Tin if you’d like.
My story and why I’m here?
Well, I was a victim of a very violent form of abuse. My father, a drunk sadistic bastard, would beat my brothers and I. Though I was left without an escape my brothers could run to school, as I was only 4 through 8 at the time.
My mother was framed for abusing us when we were young. I was 3, and my brothers were 4 and 7. Our church were the ones who framed her, and lied to DCFS which led to our being taken away from her.
I suffer from a form of PTSD, sort […]
I’m a 15 year old kid, and for the past 4 years or so I’ve noticed the deterioration of my happiness and overall satisfaction in life. I’ve also seen a new depression seep it’s way into my life. It’s always there, sometimes stronger than others, but it’s never really gone. The only way I’ve managed to ignore it is through my hobbies, video games, anime, and listening to music. Although these things have also been one of the main causes for me having to face my depression, because while I can ignore it for a time, when it comes back it hits hard. All these […]
Happy Wednesday morning, everyone. I went through the effort to check my phone and see what day it is just so I could say happy Wednesday, see, I care that much about wishing everyone a happy day, you can say a lot of shit about me, but you can’t say I don’t care. If you were bored enough to read this and don’t know me, my name is Hailee, hi. If you were bored enough to read this and do know me, hi. Sorry I can’t think of anything more creative to say, and I have been wanting ever so slightly to post on here […]
I know you’re suffering, I’ve suffered too. For years, I couldn’t think about anything else other than how much I hated myself, how worthless I was and that I deserved to die. I spend a lot of time on the suicide project, even though I didn’t write very often. Now, since a little more than a year, I’m happy and I enjoy my life and I want to share with you how I got to that place because I think this could help someone on this board.
If you’re here, you probably thought about killing yourself to escape your suffering and I’m not trying to say […]
Autism has destroyed my life ever since I was a child and it doesn’t seem like a cure is anywhere in the near future. My whole life I’ve had great hopes and dreams, to become a historian and travel the world. On the outside I am living that dream. I just graduated from ASU summa cum laude with a 4.o, prestigious universities are offering me scholarships for grad school, and now I am living in Bulgaria, one of the countries I’ve always loved studying and next month I will be travelling to Serbia, another country of interest. It all sounds so great, but I’ve had […]
I like to sleep a lot because I love to dream. Dreams are so much better than this horrible reality. I’ve practiced a lot by now, and I can remember everything I dream and sometimes control it. I love it.
Inside the dream the world is different. You get to live the adventure, be the hero, talk to that person, go to that place you’ve always wanted, feel the hope, the happiness, the real joy of being alive.
But it also hurts so much when you wake up.
Reality feels numb compared to my dreams. I feel like I’m not really here. But in my dreams everything makes sense, […]
Hey, they call me Odd. It’s nice to share my story with you.
First off, im not killing myself… Yet. I’m trying to push for another 10 months of living. I’ll be 18, in April. I’ve decided to tell my story now, just incase i jump the gun a little early.
Where do I start? This is kind of like a “my moment” type of thing. So, how can I personally catch your attention, long enough, to hear me out?
I’ll start by asking; “have you ever been sad?”
I am at my wits end in life. Normally I am able to pull through when things get tough but lately I am seriously considering killing myself. I understand that everyone goes through life drama but I don’t think I am strong enough to carry everything on my shoulders anymore. I am 18 and as of right now I feel alone. I was raped from the time I was 7 until I was 11 by my stepbrothers and their friends. I never said anything to anyone because (as a little girl) I believed what they told me .. That they would break up my family. […]
I’ve noticed that people who cut have different reasons behind it. Maybe that’s why no psychologist can help them to completely stop, because they assume a reason behind it and they don’t really care if it’s true. Scars have different meanings for everybody, so now I’m asking you what do they really mean to you?
For me, my scars represent I’m fighting and surviving. That the pain isn’t just inside my head.
Have a lovely night.

Another sketch just for the fun of it.
It started out with me frustrated because I couldn’t connect to the WiFi.
So I got some paper and a pencil and drew this abstract thing which symbolizes “not being able to connect because of obstacles”.
I meant internet connection, but it kept occurring to me that it can be taken in all sorts of other ways too.
Sometimes no matter how much we want to (*ahem*) put “Tab A” into “Slot B”, there’s something preventing it from happening.
Interpret it however […]
