I’m so sorry:( See how long you can convince yourself you’ll be okay? So say, ‘if I can do the next 5 minutes, I can do tonite.’ Then repeat? Think about what you want to be able to do one day, and remember you don’t have to be in perfect health, or completely okay to achieve them. They’re YOUR dreams and you’ll get to them any way you can, come hell or high water. You deserve them simply for existing, and loving and caring. We are guaranteed lows in life and sometimes they feel like they are lasting forever. They aren’t your forever though, and if anything- for the next 5 minutes, you will be okay❤️

I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time right now. I hope my ideas will help you. Treat yourself to something you enjoy. Get a manicure, go to the movies, go for a walk, or buy a sweet treat. I recommend getting some flowers. It’s amazing how happy they can make you feel. Focus on positive things. Make a list of everything you’re thankful for or read some inspirational quotes. Find something to look forward to and focus on it when you’re feeling down. Also, don’t forget to take care of yourself. Exercise is great for mental health. If you’re at all like me and have very little motivation to exercise, try dancing. Please remember that no amount of pain you’re feeling can come close to how special and loved you are❤️❤️

I struggle with self harm and depression. I told my doctor a week ago that I have suicidal thoughts and she put me on an anxiety/depression med and she said it could make things better or worse. I have noticed I barely eat anything anymore and I started to self harm more. I go through my day struggling and I’ve lost my friends and I stay in my room 24/7. I don’t feel like doing anything anymore. People say “oh it’ll get better” or “you’ll overcome it” or “don’t worry it’ll be okay” but guess what it’s not true. I feel like no one gets me or no one will listen to me. No one understands the pain I go through every second of the day trying my hardest to put on a fake smile. I can’t do it anymore. I want it to stop.

So I and my mom got into this big fight yesterday and I said some things I didn't mean to say to her and she said some things and I know what I said was bad but what she said cut deep in me because Even though what I said to her wasn't good her words hurt because going through wat om going through rn is honestly the worst thing a human can go through my worries and fears now all of a sudden now become feeling of Suicide and self-harm and honestly she's right because at this point I'm at a dead end and there's no going back I didn't tell her what was actually going on with me because I know she will never look at me the same and growing up with parents that are Gen x back in the day mental illness is a fucking joke to them apparently and is not taken seriously not all of them are like this but I know a few now I've been thinking about offing myself I don't think I'm gonna make it I'm really struggling.

I hate sitting in my room with only me and my thoughts. I have lost my faith in the lord and can’t seem to get on with my life. I’m so stuck on everything and can’t seem to get better. I keep self harming and get to the point to where I see the second layer of my skin. It gets worse and worse each time I have suicidal thoughts. One of these days it’ll get so bad that well you can probably guess what I may do. I have been abused physically mentally and sexually in my past and it haunts me every single day of my life. Any time I try to talk to someone about my mental health they tell me I’m a waste of their time or that I need to talk to someone other than them. But all that does is make me keep it all bottled up and I can’t take it anymore. They say mental abuse is worse than physical and I can see why they say that. I just want a normal life so I don’t have to be depressed 24/7. It ruins my social life and it makes me loose my friends and family because of how distant I am. I just need help and please give me advice. Also sorry I’m not very good at explaining things.
