A few of my freinds know I cut, and so does my Aunt. They want me to stop, but I just can't. Now I feel really depressed, Is there really anything left for me in this life? I mean everyone's got to die sooner or later. I just don't know anymore....

Children who cut, have been usually told what a horrible person they are at one point or another..or they have been treated unfairly, as if they were a horrible person..so sometimes.when you cut, it is because you are trying to get the wrong kind of attention from people you love, almost like saying 'look. I AM bad, so I am punishing myself for you, does that make you love me more?"...well, this is very sad sweetie, that you are so young, and that you are going through such pain right now. I am so sad to hear this, I feel bad when I hear any young person is suffering so much, and all because they want to be loved...Yes, darling, there is a lot for you in this life...Our Father loves us...His Son loves us...sometimes, when we suffer the most, it brings us closer to Them...I pray that you can find Them in your life..and forgive those who have violated you and hurt you,..and start living for God and Jesus..because that is where your answer is...You are too young to die, and you just don't know what the Lord has planned for you down the road....Pray tonight, for God to guide you and give you strength to stop cutting, and to forgive people who hurt you...Pray though His Son, in Jesus name..and I will promise you, your life will begin to change...This always brings tears to my eyes, when I read about you young people out there feeling so low,...God is there for you, and so Is Jesus...you just have to call on Them. God bless lilttle one. xxxxxxxxx

Darling, everyone goes through this from time to time. The woes of life just seem to keep weighing you down until you feel like you've fallen and will never be able to stand again. I know exactly how you feel. I suffer from depression as well. I used to cut, and I almost killed myself once.
There is more to life than death, and there is more to life than pain. You have to find your silver lining...no one can do it for you. For me, it was the knowledge that I can move others through my words. I am a writer, and I will be until the day I die. I know that, and in having found my talent and my passion, I found joy. I found a reason to live.
You just need to find something you are good at, something that helps to relieve the anger and the pain. And then, throw away your razor, or your blade, or whatever it is you use. If you can't talk to a counselor, then don't. But find help, either in a friend or a family member. Someone you can trust. Tell them how you're feeling and let them help you.
You don't have to go through this alone.
Figure out whatever it is that will make your life easier- music, dance, writing, excercise...whatever it is, that IS NOT SELF HARMING. Find a way to make it through it, take one day at a time...and slowly, the pain will fade. You'll make it, if you want to.
Just know that there are others out there who have felt what you are going through. You're not alone.
May Yeshua bless you.

I'm sorry you self injure. It is a very dark place to be. It so consuming. There is a light at the end of the tunnel; you just cant see it right now. Just b/c everyone dies; DOES NOT mean you are going to die. You dont want to die at your worst. You want to die old after a great life. I know that sounds insane right now. But I was at your exact point a few years ago. And I finally got up and go pro-active. I decided I wanted to live. I joined www.psyke.org forum and got LOTS of support. And I went and got the book S.A.F.E. which taught me how to stop cutting. And I took my life back. And I have never looked back. Please know that you are worth something. Even if you dont think so right now. THis is your moment. So choose to live and love and laugh. Because its SOOO much better and you will never regret it! Good Luck!

HI I too am recovering alcoholic( aa classes too) I can relate to your pain because my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this past summer and it has been hell and very hard. I have not picked up a drink and even though it is hard to see my husband go through his( i take him for chemotherapy once a week) i have to remain positive for my husband and act cheerful. I cannot break down and cry all the time because he does not like to see that and i truly believe remaining positive has helped him cope with his illness. So what i am saying is , try to remain positive around your father so he doesn't worry.. even if it is an act that way your father will become positive knowing that you are not full of fear and worry and he can improve his health. He is lucky to be alive and you are fortunate to have him so be thankful he is still with you and take one day as it goes and do not worry about tomorrow or the next month etc. Just stay focused and try to be in a positive frame of mind and o think about the fun times with your dad and talk to him about those times.... that will always bring a sunny disposition back into your heart of hearts

First of all cutting will not help in the long run. Don't kill yourself because all your friends, and your aunt and your family love you and want you to be here. You can get through this to enjoy your life because yes everyone does die but you want to die old and peacefully in your sleep. Just get away from it all, write, see a therapist, it actually does help just do not kill yourself calls hotlines if you are feeling depressed.

Get a journal turn to a blank page write down all the wonderful things you have accomplished in life and all the great and wonderful people who have love for you no matter what goes down. Then the great things you havent gotten to do yet. Then if that doesnt work call the national hope line 1-800-suicide or suicidehotlines.com or depression.com remeber somebody loves you if it seems to be no one around then remember the big man in the sky watching over every single day turn to him if it doesnt help,get a counselor please dont do it my dads friends daughter (17) did it and she could have been helped and i want to help you remeber god loves you and stay strong keep your head up,get a hobby do something great your family would be devoustated if you where to leave and they knew they could have helped you out with this

i know it may seem to you the best choice, but i really hope that you will find time to think about how bad you will hurt everyone who loves you. a lot of ppl hit rock bottom and then shoot back up. if you are in a bad situation, it can only get better. you just have to hang in there. talk to a really close friend before considering suicide. this is a major decision and no person can do it all alone.

first off, i am going to say, i know what you are going through. i dont know how old you are, but i am going to assume you are a teen. things can get really difficult. school, people, emotions, life, just everything seams to change the way you look at it in your eyes and it all looks dark and unhappy. i felt so alone. i truly had no friends and i felt like i had no purpose, no one loved me, no one liked me, everyone laughed at me at school. my life was hell. i dont know what yours is like, but i think yours is hell too. or somewhere near there. things are still difficult, but i stopped hurting myself and tried to change my thoughts.
cutting is extremely addictive. you have probably heard this before, but if not, a chemical is realeased when you cut and it is like a pain killer, so you don't feel pain and you feel better for a while. it surely doesn't solve problems though, and you probably know that. i know people who cut, i know people who have had really bad problems, and they still struggle sometimes, but things are better. You can be happier and i really hope you consider trying to make your life better for you.
Depression sucks. it truly just kills your outlook on life. i hope you try for a second to just see things differently. you have friends. you have family. they all care a lot about you. you have a lot of choices to change things. you can do anything you want in the future. things can get better and you can start now.
you have your entire life ahead of you. it will be great if you give things a chance. Yea, everyone dies eventually, but when it is their time and right now, 10 years from now, 20 years that isn't your time. think things over and try things out. i really hope things look up for you.
i would tell you a joke, just to make you laugh, but im a lousy comedian. i'll just ask that you smile once. : D it won't hurt. feel better. please?
edit: don'st listen to that guy. he is a jerk and being mean only because he he can't handle himself. don't let what he said get to you. shrug it off.

Right now you are in the middle of that big black hole called depression. It is hard for you to think of anything that is positive. Go talk to someone about your feelings. Do not stay by yourself. Cutting has become a pattern and you are considering suicide. I think you know what our advise is. Please get some help.

Think about it. You came here for a reason, I don't even know you, but i believe it! You have friends and family that care. How would they feel if you died? You're here to live, and do something, not to die. Let that come later, live a great, full life, and find that silver lining. Be the strongest you can be.
Good luck!
