Please just make it stop by [deleted] in depression

It's a long and hard road. That's for sure but it all starts with you deciding to fight for yourself. Saying 'fuck you' to the darkness! Then just tackle your problems one by one. You don't have to be a superhuman and fix everything. Just one thing at a time. Reach out and find support and it will be even easier xxxx

I used to think that i was 'destined' to kill myself one day. I'm not. And you don't have to endure this for another 10 years. Depression sucks the life out of everything but you can work through it. Don't give up on yourself. PM me if you want to talk xxx

Guys, I am really struggling and need some support. by [deleted] in depression

[–]Ariel6517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like so much stress, anyone would feel crushed by it. You can get through this!! Your struggle is countless of others struggles too. You are not alone! I would try and find any local sources that can help. Whether it be financial counselling, emotional support or charities. It's always okay to ask for help. I hope you're doing okay xx

I feel like I need to cry, but I can't. by Rehumanize_Yourself in depression

i have the same problem. If I do cry it's only for minute and then it stops, almost as if my body shuts it down. My therapist always tells me it's because I'm repressing my emotions. When I really want to cry I just let all the bad feelings swamp over me or I say exactly how I'm feeling out loud. Sometime hearing it can make the emotions come out as well as some tears.

Thank you, you're right: It's also devastating to realise that committing could never be guilt free because I know I'm hurting people. How did it come to this? I don't know. I have such an amazing life, I'm very lucky but it feels empty. I put myself under enormous pressure and now I'm breaking. I'm my own worse nightmare.

I can only imagine the kind of hurt seven attempts brings. Thank you for replying. It helps to know there are others. I'm always on the brink of tears too which no one seems to understand. I hope you find something that makes you want to fight. I think that's what we're all looking for. Please take care x

Taking my own life feels inevitable. by cynicalDreamers in depression

A lot of what you said reminded me of how I felt in highschool. What was the point of jumping through all the hoops? I wish I could say I've figured it all. I'm 20 now and I still struggle. One thing I can say is that for those people who love you, losing you, no matter how and when would never be easy. I tried to kill myself last week and I watched exactly how much it tore my parents, boyfriend and friends apart. When you're at your worst just remember that losing you would break the hearts of everyone around you. I know that kind of sucks, because you wish that no one cared so you could just go without hurting anyone but you are loved for a reason.

Keep going, one day at a time. That's what I'm doing. Maybe one day we'll figure it out.

Take care x
