I wish I was dead.

I wouldn't have to go through all the teasing from my family and the hurt that comes after it that they all fail to see. It was just an accident. Just a fucking accident. Why can't they just let it go? My mother made me want to cut after "trying to talk about it" So I did. 60+ on my left thigh. I just want to die.

don't be like that... like i have told many other ppl on here who are striggling do not cut
its the worst thing you could ever do to yourself.... it doesn't help anybody else or yourself.... try talking to somebody an older adult a bestfriend perhaps or me if you like.. we are all here for you for support if needed
vm me if you like...

Aw, hun. :hug3: You had a slip-up, we all do. Dying doesn't help though. It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I'm not sure what else to say because I don't really know what happened but you'll get through this.

VM me if you ever need to talk.

A good friend of mine has been depressed for a few years, and has been cutting for some time. And now she's tells me that she tried to overdose one some random pills she found around the house but thankfully, failed. I have no idea what to do! Help me! And please don't judge me because I haven't done anything yet. I am just too scared.

For the most part, family members are NOT going to understand. First off, their ignorance of your actual feelings will take control. This will, secondly, lead to fear - fear for your behavior, fear for what you might do to yourself.

You need to accept yourself, first and foremost. Accept yourself as a cutter. Accept yourself as someone who has - and is most likely going to again - cut themselves.

I think you should overcome the stigma associated with cutting. Accept it as something that you have experienced. Accept it as a part of you. Then you will be ready to move on if you really want to. Everyone here can help. I wish you luck. Please stay alive. We all think you are beautiful alive! :)

You should ask her why she's doing these things. Then you should probably try to convince her to get help. The people on these forums, or you and her other friends, we can all help. But sometimes medical professionals are required.

Maybe she'd be willing to sit down with you in confidence and talk to you? If you are truly worried you should approach her with love and compassion and let her know how you feel.
