Anthony IV Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I swear I already typed this today, but I dont think it went through. Anyway, I was suicidal for a brief time months ago, and haven't really felt it again since. I have depression, but it has been worse than what it is now. I recently "broke-up" with my best friend, so now I have no one to talk with because he was the only friend I had outside of school. Recently I've been getting these urges to cut myself, and even die, just for attention. I feel like no one is paying attention to me, and I feel like cutting or killing myself will magically give me another best friend. I read the alternatives to cutting, and I do have a plan to kill myself, but I dont see myself actually doing it. I want to, but I couldn't bring myself to actually commit suicide (I dont think, anyway. If it gets bad enough, I might). I just feel really lonely and I dont know how long my music strategy will keep me satisfied from the pain. I'm in a constant hurt all day, and it drags me down to the point where it's hard to even smile. I randomly get urges to just cry, for no reason. I just want my friend back. I know it won't happen, but it felt like was the only one who helped me. I tried therapy and I didn't like it. Is it bad that I'm willing to cut and/or kill myself just to try and get another friend?

Anthony IV Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi blondie, yes, I'm in a safe position right now. I think this should all go away once school starts again, because that will give me the opportunity to make friends, but school doesn't start for another 2 months, so it could be a long summer. I will use the rubber band and hope that works. Again, I'm pretty sure i feel this way because i want to be noticed, not because I want to do this stuff (cutting, suicide). I'm just going to keep pushing through. In case you didn't know, I'm a fighter and I dont give up easily, so my summer is probably going to just be a mental war zone, but I'll deal with it thanks again!

Anthony IV Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Oh, my family is out of this completely, btw. My mom knew about the depression a couple of months ago, and forced me to go to a therapist, but since then they have kinda stopped asking about it. My relationship with them is not the best, as we dont get along that often and we always seem to be fighting MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony IV Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Talking does help. Also, thanks for reminding me about the rubber band trick. It helps a lot. The only tricky part is not letting my parents find out, but that's easier said than done. I have sensitive skin, so it leaves a mark on my wrist every time. I'm actually having a pretty decent day today, so there isn't much else to say. I will definitely keep you posted if anything else happens Γ°ΕΈΛΕ MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hello Anthony, Β I'm glad that today is a better day, you can use a hairband and that shouldn't leave a mark on you, similarly the ice cubes.
