I feel ok. Like there’s a little light to follow in the far distance. I’m not sobbing or anxiety riddled, and that’s all it was last summer….Perhaps this new approach is paying off…
and you know, I just, wasted so much time trying to understand what happened…
I hated seeing in black and white, and ruminating over it. I hated her. I hated them.
I couldn’t help it, either. It’s just how this works, I guess.
Most of the time I live in a self-contained bubble of distraction. I avoid my negative feelings by consuming a constant stream of media. But when I have to be around people I’m forced to face how I really feel, and I don’t know how to cope with it.
Emotional suffering is strange – I want to say that it hurts, but if you asked me what the pain was like, I wouldn’t know what to tell you. It’s hard to articulate what the distress consists of. I suppose a series of encounters triggers parts of my brain that I mostly try to suppress, and […]

Ah, the hotline. The stupid number everyone sends you when you say you’re suicidal. Is it really helpful tho? How on earth could they help me through the phone? By the way, how do the conversations look like, do they say generic stuff like “you’re not alone” or something? If they were helpful for you, could you share a story maybe? I just want to know how it’s like, I’m too scared to actually call now so I need some heads up to what I should actually expect. Thanks in advance.
I’m just too young man! I should be enjoying life like others but I can’t. I’ve become so overly philosophical it has kinda ruined me, I don’t see the point in any action I do, partially because of this. Another thing are my stupid illnesses not letting me live properly tbh. SPD and OCD ruined my childhood now misophonia is ruining my “golden days”. It really is a struggle when you can’t talk to anyone because you get mad when they fucking breathe. It’s so tiring. It’s so so awful. I have nobody because of the way I act, I’m so unfriendly to everybody, I […]
i should have been doing something enjoyable for the past 2hrs with my SO….instead ive been getting high and drunk and havent said a word….
i ruin everything….
i think “i dont feel so good” means its time to put it down…. my head, my chest..i dont feel good. my SO went to bed, i wonder if ill message him tomorrow or if ill stay in this shell.. i cant tell him about my drinking, he worries enough. and i just make it worse….
“sometimes it just bounces off you”
should i even bother still mentioning things if its pointless??
“what doesnt kill you makes you stronger”
what they dont mention is whether or not that wound is still open. if its healed then yeah your stronger, but if youre constantly struggling all youre doing is keeping your head above water as the weight gets heavier. the wound isnt closed and is just reopening/getting worse. going through things doesnt always makes you stronger….
I traced my self harm scars to make this first piece; for the second piece I smeared paper over my paint pallet.
Represents the longing I have to see physical scars but how the aftermath is always messy.
maybe if I can get better at noticing the little victories
I revamped my resume for a job that has been chasing me. I’m super apathetic about it, but it’s nice to be chased. Then today I got an email that they want a second interview, awesome. My dad tossed me some cash, we got some nice stuff for V-day, and my wife got the information on a local banks recruiting. This means that for the first time in four years, my wife and I both have active potential job prospects.
I also got my meds ahead of schedule, which is one less thing to worry about… […]
i wish i had more friends or at least people to talk to, i wish i could just stop having this dreadful feeling deep inside me when im drawing, playing games, or doing literally anything. i wish i could stop being or feeling like im big tumor on the people i love, and that the people i love dont give a shit about me. unless thats actually true, which im always wondering if it is or not
i hate being so stupid, so mentally ill, so me, i wish i was someone else. i wish i was someone lovable, someone interesting and someone worth being friends […]
Well I can’t believe it has come to this again. I have told myself that wouldn’t ever kill myself because I have to live for my brothers. Even if that means I continue to suffer, I decided that i’d live for them. But lately the way shit has been my mindset is beginning to change. I broke down in tears on my way home today because I suddenly realized that “holy shit! My time might actually be coming. Sooner rather than later.” A bullet through the head sounds so fucking good right now and it seems all I need is one more fucked up thing […]
Im so tired all the time im not lazy but i get sleep its like a living hell i get up go to school do work go home do work stay up do more work shower bed then just doing again its the same thing every day its all i do and all i will ever do in my life until i cant get a job and move out im sick and tired of it i just wanna see what the people call the “Other side of life” This world is harsh and cold and mean and will fuck you up so hard you forget […]

Trying to get my feet back under me. Really, trying. Met the new therapist earlier in the week… didn’t even think about that saying all that, telling my story would open all of those wounds. Didn’t worry about the damage, I was floating, and now I’m not.
Every time I try to express confidence, it feels like I’m lying. Like everyone can see me lying, and they just love to see me dig my own hole.
I’m working on this stupid project, trying to wrap my head around some complex math, and that feels like a lie too.
My new therapist said “it sounds like you’ve been kicked […]
laying here staring at the same ceiling for years now.
each time ending up in the same place emotionally.
lost and confused of where my life is going or where I want to go.
I can still feel it all of it. all the unwanted touches, traumatic experience, haunting words play in my head like a fever dream.
swiftly I start to forget the forgetfulness stemming from not having the courage of an appetite.
I would just like all of them people that hurt me in a room just to scream out and attack the anger I feel that I cannot express. The anger of […]
I’m tired.
I was always tired but he just shoved me at the end.
I’m drained, all the good I use to see is gone.
People are cruel I know, but really acknowledging it is different.
He roams around around with all my secrets & has no care to share. Even those that only I know
I should have known better, I know better.
And those who should be on my side are calling dramatic. I can be dramatic but this is outrage.
How can those close be friends with this person?
Knowing what they know of what he did to me?
And thinking it’s […]
It doesn’t matter how many times they say “you’re not bothering me” if they’re doing something else no matter how unimportant you know that task is, it’s more important then you. It doesn’t matter if you have a blade to your arm or a gun to your head, everything is more important then you. “ok then I won’t bother you” I’ll deal with it myself….. Somehow
I haven’t been on this site for a while. It’s always been a lot people younger than me. I’m 46 and I’ve stuck it out even though I’ve had suicidal ideation since I was 16. I’m 46 now and I’m pretty confident this is my end.
I have been being treated for bipolar disorder on and off for a decade. None of the meds ever worked. At all. Now I know it’s because I have borderline personality disorder and not bipolar. It’s a little too late. I have already lost everything. I used to practice medicine. Btw, I grew up dirt poor and had horrible abusive […]
you want to support them. you want to tell them “thats totally awesome” “i hope you have fun” “i know you can do it” but while you say it, you push away the tears. you push down the pain raising in your chest. you want to support them but all you see is them away from you. supporting, feels a lot like pushing away, and you dont want to push them away, but you dont want to not support them either. so you hide what youre feeling, knowing supporting them, even if it means pushing them away, is whats best. you love them […]
Its been a little over 2 years since i have been here, i met a amazing girl i made many steps forward. But here i am again after she broke up with me for liking another guy more, out of the blue didn’t see anything coming.
I guess im not good enough again…
