I Will Survive

I did this, you can too.

The Haven

by progmessiah8 7/11/2013

written by progmessiah8

This is a short story I wrote today. It’s a story of loss, learning, and recovery.

Somewhere, in an unknown area, there was a place that lay deep within the depths of a forest. It was called the haven. Surrounding it was an abundance of pink blossoms and lilies that were as white as snow. The grass that nurtured them was bright green and lightly blowing as the comforting breeze gave life to the area. Not once had humans touched it, for no person had ever discovered a place as beautiful and vivid as this. It was much too far away for even the best explorers […]

Man was meant to suffer

by Painman 7/10/2013

written by Painman

Ive been too depressed to post lately, not that I havent been writing replies because I have but its come to the point where I just cant bring myself to click the post button ..Â I just think, well, its like something dies in me and I think ‘why bother’?

My whole life and especially the last few years Ive always been unappreciated, even IfÂ I am apprieciated sometimes it doesnt quite weigh the balance back to being so.

I’ve got one person in my life who likes to talk, trouble is he is so negative and destructive in his personality and things he says that it just always […]

I’m sorry.

by meh550 7/9/2013

written by meh550

I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.

I’m sorry for all the time’s you’ve cut. I’m sorry for all the pain you’ve felt. I’m sorry for all that’s ever happened to you.

What would I know about pain, about anything? I’m only 13. Just a girl who has no idea what life is. But then I accidentally got onto this website, and I read.

I read from 8 pm to 4 am, all the suffering and loss and bullying. I’m young, and innocent, but that innocence is now mixed with a knowledge that we live in a paradise surrounded by thin glass walls, and behind those walls are your […]

Writing As I Think

by NotReallyHereAtAll 7/9/2013

written by NotReallyHereAtAll

I cope with situations through humour, usually in the form of offensive jokes about that which is too painful to truly think about. As a result, I make a lot of suicide jokes, partly because doing so slightly lightens the heaviness of the past darkness that almost took me and partly because it’s a way to talk about it without really talking about it, you know? Sort of gets my past and sometimes also present thoughts out of my system sometimes, turning the thoughts into laughter with my closest sort-of friend, who also likes to joke about the worst things in the world. Laughing about […]

It was so hard for me when he left for college.. I didn’t know […]

Broken People, by Scott Hildreth a book that provides hope from a survivor

by Scott Hildreth 7/4/2013

written by Scott Hildreth

Hello, I am Scott Hildreth, the Author of Broken People. At the age of thirteen, my uncle committed suicide. I hated him for it. At the age of twenty one, my girlfriend committed suicide. I spent a lifetime carrying a poem that she left me in my wallet. Additionally, I carried guilt. Crushing guilt. I felt awful, guilty, and no longer trusted people.

A few years ago, a close friend committed suicide. Then, I decided it was my turn.

I didn’t succeed.

This year, I met a girl who needed help. A suicidal bulimic teen.

I wrote a very uplifting and deep book that has touched the hearts of […]

If Nothing Could Stop You

written by hopefuldreamer

Do any of you have anything that you’d like to do? if nothing could stop you? if you do then write it down and don’t edit it just see what comes out. I realize that time will always moves forward and moments will always pass you’ll never be the same age forever, I always thought that I could feel this way for a certain time and go right back to a moment but I realize now that I was in denial I really don’t know what to do now but I have things that I want to do, so I hope that despite your pain […]

Eternal Hopelessness

by mchs3799 6/30/2013

written by mchs3799

Whats’s there to even say about me anymore? What’s the point in saying it. I am now a 19 year old male who has been in a severe state of depression for 6-7 (if not more) years. I hate reading the cliche sayings by depressed people, who just doesn’t know how to express what they feel, but I find myself using those same exact ones. I’m so overwhelmed just in writing this, that I have no idea where to begin… I guess I’ll tell a little of my story.

Well… I was raised by parents who believe/d in a rather extreme form of evangelical-charismatic christianity. Looking […]

I Was Saved..For Now

by iamdying 6/29/2013

written by iamdying

This is my story, I would kindly like to ask you to not put rude comments. When I was a child I was mostly forgotten about. My sister had all the attention. My parents were both alcoholics, that forced my sister and I to be our own parents. I was probably about 1-3 I couldn’t take care of myself so my sister had to. My mom was a horrible drinker. She decided to pick us up from school one day drunk. As we drove back home my sister, she looked at me. Her face full of fear and turned around that’s when we heard the […]

A game series helps me to live? What?

by DahliaHawthorne 6/29/2013

written by DahliaHawthorne

Hi. I’m DahliaHawthorne, a person who feels like dying. I think everyone should have an attachment to something if they’re considering suicide. Like video games, or the really good veggie straws. Simple pleasures, you know?

My username comes from Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations.

Skip the little rant below this if you don’t care for video games. Yes, I am a female. TL;DR: I love Capcom. Their games are the only reason why I’m here right now. No, not my birth, not my science, not my family. Video games. I don’t have a life. Yeah.

Let’s start off with a honest confession:

I am hopelessly obsessed with the Ace […]

Jane and Eric’s waltz

by Blake SinBad 6/28/2013

written by Blake SinBad

I think this is the happiest I’ve been in a while…I…

Let me start:

When I was younger, I was bullied. I had no escape from the world. That was, until the day I got my mp3. Music was a whole different world to me. It still is. It’s all I breathe for. My life, my love and my soul are devoted to this otherworldly being…I’m intoxicated…
Anywho, there was one song preprogrammed into the mp3. I couldn’t pronounce the name at the time, so I just called it Jane and Eric’s waltz. It fit at the time. I had fallen madly in love with the song, […]

Thoughts on Mortality

If you’ve read any of my other comments or my story, you know I’m a proponent of choosing life over death, and I think the words in this video kinda sum up why, in a way:

going along

by weary 6/27/2013

written by weary

I have two sisters who have attempted suicide (by overdose) multiple times. Â At the moment I am lacking much feeling, but am not particularly depressed or anxious. Â There isn’t much that makes life worth living, but nothing to induce me to death. Â It’s a big change for me. Â I’ve been depressed and anxious for many years, but I always felt like I had a purpose in life, even if I didn’t know what it was. Â Right now I don’t feel that way. Â I know that if I wait long enough my mental state will change. Â It always does. Â But then it will change again after […]

The Truth

by ImLexyW 6/26/2013

written by ImLexyW

Am I the only one who thinks that when someone tells you to be strong or says some sob story about how you need to live is just a line of absolute bull? Because saying the same things someone else can say to you isn’t going to mean anything to me. I want a “I know it’s hard and I knowÂ I don’t understand it but I’m here to listen and I know you aren’t okay, but that’s okay because sometimes were all not okay….” type of conversation not a “You can do this you are strong, get help, I need you, you’ll be fine, […]

Video Project

by our-silentscreams 6/25/2013

written by our-silentscreams

Iâ€™m doing a video project that i will hopefully be able to show in school and i may put it on you tube.

It will basically be a video about people that have anything like depression, EDs, Suicidal thoughts etc.

I will have people send in video clips of them telling their story if they want or giving simple advice. Then i will have people at the end say things like stay strong etc

I really want to do this. Its something iâ€™ve had planned for a while now. If your interested or want more details message me here:

Some lives are harder than others

by Life_Is_Hard 6/24/2013

written by Life_Is_Hard

I know that many people probably have lives that are worse than mine. I am lucky to have caring parents, a house to live in and food to eat. Though my life at home is pretty good, at times it can be rough. When my brother turned 18, he got a tattoo and my parents yelled at him many days for over 3 months. That was when I first started to cut. I had built up an act to make people like me. I held in all my emotions for several years. That was until I started middle school. In the summer of 2010, my […]

I Hate Titles

by endingtheagony 6/24/2013

written by endingtheagony

Each day, someone tells me to think positive. They say I am supposed to magically find love for myself. How am I supposed to find a way to love myself when all I ever hear about is how I need to be prettier and skinnier and my hair needs to be longer and I need to be smarter… It’s damn near impossible to just make myself love myself when all I hear is how many flaws I have and how much is wrong with me. I’m sick of living day by day trying to be who everyone else wants me to be. I tear myself […]
