Answer 2

Okay, to begin, I don't know what your exact situation is at home but if someone is abusing you, you should contact DYFUS immediatley or call the police.

As for you having no reason to be alive, that is not true at all. Everyone serves a purpose in life, we are all here for a reason. Maybe you are a good friend to someone and they need you, maybe you will grow up to have a kid one day; no matter what there is always a reason and purpose.

As for the cutting thing, I don't know too much about it except that it is a type of disease. A therapist may help but only to a certian extent, you have to find the strength and love within yourself not to cut. I'm sorry I can't help you with the cutting thing, I wouldnt want to give you any wrong advice but all I can tell you is you are worth a lot and once you find that within yourself the cutting will stop on it's own. Please seek help if your family is hurting you in anyway. Tell a teacher, cop or some sort of authority. Good luck to you - much love

You have done well to ask this question. Firstly, you recognize that you are depressed. That is where the solution begins. Not all doctors are equipped to help with this kind of problem. Some handle your physical injuries very well and that is it. Others can help with your mental state and also give you some counselling.

As others have said, things can get better. Life is one great war with a series of battles we have to fight. Sometimes we are up and sometimes down. It is more difficult if depression is part of the equation.

It helps to have a positive attitude to life. eg seeing a cup as half full not half empty.

Counselling from psychiatrists and / or psychologists can be very helpful.

It also helps if you have a relationship with God. A lot of people scoff at christianity these days but it is the most reliable relationship one can have in this topsy turvy world. God says you should cast your burdens on him and he will care for you. This is a personal battle you have to fight.

Do not ignore all avenues open to you. Please pray to God and talk to a pastor. Also see a psychologist. It is a big battle but it has been won many times and you could be the next victor.

Answer 4

Depression is a very hard thing to move on from...In fact you never really do. How do you not see any reason for you to be alive? If you killed yourself...your friends and family would miss you dearly. If you say that you dont have any friends, maybe you do, you just havent let any people come into your life. If you say well my family dont care because of this or that. Well I can tell you this they do care no matter what happened in the past. Cutting yourself is very serious to your health. I am no doctor or no professional...I understand though what you are going through I have been there before.

Answer 5

You know what, maybe right now there isn't any reason for you to be alive.....but what about a year from now...or next week, or tomorrow? what about in the next 5 minutes! The point is, nothing stays the same, and no matter how much your hurting and you think things will never change, they can....but only YOU can make the change! You have to seek the help you need! Like you stated before- you probably wont listen, and nobody can help you! Well no one can change your attitude and ultimately it is your choice-Your depression could be interfering with your decision- that's where you need to force yourself to seek professional help! you life will turn around....but ONLY when you make the first move-It's up to you....TOTALLY up to you! and what ever choice you make, you'll have to live with it the rest of your life!

Answer 6

I used to cut too. I know how much relief it can bring once you cut. I cut because it felt like it was the only thing I coudl control in my life (after things spun out of control) and it just made me feel so much better. I'm better now but the scars are constant reminders of how I felt at the time, what made me feel that way, etc. I still get the desire to cut now but I can get past it by occupying myself with something else. I've also thought about suicide like in high school and college but never felt I was "brave" enough for it. I think that what you are feeling is valid and you need to recognize that. I didn't want help because I didn't see cutting as a problem. I was the only person who could control how much I did it and how deep I was. No one can make you stop but you but you'll have to want to stop. Know that your life is worht living and that many people care about you. I hope things gte better.

Answer 7

Listen, I've been where you are, but maybe not to your extreme. I used to be a heroine addict, and I am now sitting at work in a doctors office. I have over 2 years clean, and I was just like you. I don't have the best family background, and I tried many times to end the life I was gifted with. If you change things and seek the right help, you will see a purpose to your life. Believe me, I mean it, it's not bull ****. I pray that everything works out for you, and I will follow up on you.

Answer 8

Please ignore the nasty insensitive responses you got. Listen to the others who went through it. Keep looking for a good counselor or psychiatrist. Find someone you trust and share this with them so they'll help you find a professional who will get to the bottom of your problem and help you through it. You see everything bleak now and say you see no reason to be alive because you can't see straight. Life can be better for you. Anti-depressants work wonders, and once the edge of depression and self-destruction is reduced, you will be able to do positive things. Just go by faith for now. Start with investing all the energy you can muster in finding a real person who will assist you to get treatment.

Answer 9

something happened at some point in your life that made you feel worthless. I cannot understand why your family does not help you understand that you matter. Everyone matters!!! Without getting too religious or philosophical, the life that you have been given is such a wonderful gift. Whether you know it or not, there are people that do care and love you. However you have to go within yourself and accept this. Practice a few things at a time...Do not complain, watch a sunrise, paint a picture, keep a journal, practice any random act of kindness, do not agree to succumb to negativity.

Answer 10

There is no reason for anyone to survive for that matter.We make our lives precious by making our goals and aspirations.You shouldn't really give in to things like depression and such.These things will pull you away from your infinite self.So better get some help and stop looking for reason to live.We're all alive because life is precious.We shouldn't waste it.
Good luck.

Answer 11

some people are being plain nasty on this thread. If you are not on antidepressants, i recommend that you do. soon. don't kill yourself. I'm not going to ******** you and say that i believe that life is worth living, because i deal with depression too. right now I'm in one of my bad periods, where i don't feel a purpose for being alive. I won't kill myself, because quite honestly, i don't have the guts to do such. cutting seems to be the farthest i will go.
but no more about me, please don't do anything severe.
