If you get depressed a lot you must feel your Life has very little meaning. And you might feel as if no one loves or cares about you. I'm so sorry for you honey, that no one in your Life has made you feel special and worthy. But believe me, you were put into this world for a purpose only YOU can fulfill. GOD does not make mistakes. Even though you feel like your life is not worth living, HE does have a plan for you. It's your job to find out what it is. Find where your talents lie. Find the gifts that have been given to you. Everyone has some special talent. Even if it's just be a good friend, or smiling and complimenting others to make them feel better. If you reach out to other people, perhaps a girl just as lonely as yourself, you'll be amazed at how much you will have in common with her. When you are depressed, you have to change your whole pattern of thinking. Don't let the darkness overcome you. Fight it, and think positive thoughts. There is GOOD in this world, and there are people who do care! As for cutting yourself, you need to tell someone you feel close too. For this you will need professional help that will include counseling. PLEASE hang in there honey, it does get better once you are out of the home and on your own. You'll see. Good luck!

i have been diagnoised "clinically depressed" before.
and I have , over time and hard work, and with God's help, come out of it.
so, what I did when I started feeling horrible and depressed,
I became pro-active. what I mean is:
I fiqured out a goal that I wanted to accomplish, and have poured my life into that goal.
i used my feelings of depression, and bad feelings to say to myself.......ok, it is time to get up and do something positive.
actually, at age 47, I entered college and decided to become an RN.
occupy your time with a positive goal. something that takes alot of your time, energy, and something you can be proud of.
fight back when your mind trys to say to do things to hurt yourself. And find a church where you can get people to support you in consistant prayer, and encouragement.
turn a negative, on purpose, into a positive for your life.
it is difficult but worth the effort.
hope this helps

Try to talk to someone.
There was an episode of "Intervention" a show on A&E about a girl that cuts herself... she got help and recovered BIG TIME.
It was seriously like looking at a different person after her recovery.
There is a number on the site that you might try calling.
1-800-662-HELP

Stop having those depressing thoughts.. find something else to think about.. the more you hammer on that depressing thought, the more intense it will become. You suffer from self inflicted depression. If you don't like it, don't do it!

Have your Dr. run a thyroid test. You may need a prescription. It stopped 7 years of depression in one month for me.
Take a good multivitamin with iron, make yourself physically as healthy as possible.

Stop! Get some medication. Squeeze ice in your hands to replace cutting. Get some help ;-)

Hi. I know others who cut themselves... it is sad....
Can i just say this:
It sounds trite and maybe stupid to some, but God is a friend we can turn to at any time. He isn't imaginary, He isn't some fairy tale. God, who created the stars in the sky created you and me and He cares about us.
so He wants us to learn to bring all of our cares, our worries, our fears to Him. In the bible , from the beginning right to the end, god encourages to talk to Him, to pray... not some little polite prayer... but to pray right from our hearts... telling Him exactly what we feel and how we need help and how we are lonely, etc.
He wants us to learn to love Him. As we turn to Him, He can work in our lives, straightening out all the crooked places both inside of us and in our circumstances around us....
I pray that you would learn to pray, to turn to God for help, to ask Him to deliver you from the habit of cutting....
god bless!!!
if you want to email me, plz do....

alright, know listen to me. Don't be cutting your self just because your upset. go see your doctor and tell him. he can help you get over the stress. trust me i had a friend who had the same problem. after school we went to see her doctor and she doesn't cut her self any more. it's your best option that you have. besides if you cut your self then theirs a good chance you can die if you lose 2 much blud.

Don't cut yourself. You need to seek God, cause Satan is trying to ruin your life. Times can be rough, but you need to learn about the love of God, and you don't need to feel that way about yourself.
