Is this all real?

I know this sounds weird but I feel like this life isn't real. It's all a dream a really bad dream. When I cut I wake up from the dream for those few minuets I'm living, I'm feeling something. A person can not be alive if they can't feel anything. My counselor made me stop cutting so for the past 8 days I haven't. For those past 8 days I have been in a dream, I need to wake up I need to cut. Yesterday things got so bad cutting didn't sound like it would wake me up... suicide did. Should I cut? Or should I continue to be dead.

No. Cutting is a much better alternative to death. Hun, you need help. Therapy or something. Someone who can help you feel alive without suicide or cutting. But in the mean time cutting is much better then killing yourself. DO NOT DO THAT. You deserve to live. Please dont. I care about you and dont want you to do that!

Damn, I feel EXACTLY the same. It's like I'm from another planet. I know it sounds strange but it's like I'm in a virtual game, not real life. Only cutting saves me and I haven't done it for a week and I feel very strange.

Sadly, it is all too real. Everyone on this world has problems, there is no one who is free of worries.

You are alive right now. You made this post. You are talking with us. You are beloved by those close to you. People care about you. People want to help you.

It's not easy to stop cutting yourself, but it does not prove that you are alive.
By this logic, the only time I'm alive is when I smoke weed... but the thing is, it's just something I do. It doesn't define who I am or verify my existence, I do that every day by waking up.
