Well I am going through some tough times in my life right now and I just dont see a point in living anymore and sometimes I think it would be just so much easier if were dead. I guess I am just suicidal which is really hard to confess even though I probably dont know who ever is reading this (I hope I dont know you) well anyways I am just really depressed right now and I dont know what to do. I just got done going through another stage of cutting but I stopped that because I made a vow to some one who means alot to me and I would never break it so I cant go back to that...but mabye dieing wouldnt be that bad....

depression comes when satan comes and puts in ur mind, that nobody loves u, even God has left u......
but remember anything that happens in ur life, God knows about it, because he cares for u
i don't know what kind of problem ur facing, but remember one thing don't attempt to commit suicide it is just like jumping from frying pan to fire,
so when any thought comes just say JESUS KNOWS MY PROBLEMS....
GOD BLESS YOU

I'm not good at giving advice, but I've past thru some really downcast days when nothing made sense to me too.
And there were 2 songs that helped me a lot ont hat time:

More to this life - Steven Curtis Chapmann and When Nothing Satisfies - Jennifer Knapp.

Try listening to them too, maybe it can help you too...

Ans else Psalms 42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And [why] art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him [For] the help of his countenance.

(it's on Jennifer Knapp song's too)

God bless and remember you have people around who do care about you!

Honey, I know EXACTLY how you feel.. I used to cut myself. All my arms were filled with cuts, no joke! I hated my self and saw that there were no point of me living. I realized that it was the devil putting those thoughts in me.. making me believe that I have no purpose! No one is gonna love me or whatever.. Once I had a hammer close to me, and I heard such a dark voice in me saying, "I know what you're thinking.. Do it. Nobody is going to love you.. God hates you, why else do you think you're feeling this way?!" so I grabbed the hammer and was about to hit my head with it to kill myself. Well all of a sudden, I heard a loving voice that said, "Stop!". That word alone made my heart pound, I dropped the hammer and realized what I was doing. I all of a sudden had these visions of me preaching to other teens and jumping around lol saying I love Jesus! ..at first I was like what the heck! yuh know? So I just said.. okay, okay.. Let's try it your way, so I prayed that night asking Jesus to hold me tight and never let go until I can stand up and say I have a purpose. Later that evening, it has been 3 hours that I was still sitting down haha.. After that night? I never cut myself, I felt so confident! I started living the life I saw in my head that night! So I tell you sister, don't give up darling! DON'T! He wanted you alive for a reason.. If you had no reason for anybody or anything, why are you here then?! haha I love you sister! So does your loved ones! and Jesus!! You have a purpose.. who knows!? You could be the one that's gonna be the first president through Christ! I don't know! lol Anything!! x) So I'm still praying for you! God bless! I hope the best for you!:)

This is a good story, it helps me when i feel bad. Its not me in the story but i think it sounds better like this.

One night, I had a dream. I was walking along the beach with the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. In each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. I also noticed that at the lowest and saddest times of my life there was only one set of footprints. I asked the Lord about it, "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow You, You would walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why You left my side when I needed You most." The Lord said, "My precious child, I never left you during your time of trial. Where you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

This hurt to read. I'm not going to type up some crazy long response, because truthfully this is something that you have to figure out for yourself. I'd just like to leave you with some scripture.

Revelation 21:4
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

(1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV) [19] Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; [20] you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

(1 Corinthians 3:16-17 NIV) [16] Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? [17] If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God&'s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.

Reasons why suicide is wrong?
It violates the Ten Commandments.
Nowhere does the Bible condone a person ending life to escape circumstances.
Life is a gift from God.
Suicide is an expression of self-hatred, and the Bible says we are to "love our neighbors as ourselves."
Suicide usurps the power that belongs only to God.
A person who commits suicide short-circuits God's will for his or her life.
It is an expression of lack of faith. Philippians 4:19 states, "My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." This applies to financial needs and emotional and physical needs.
Suicide is an act of selfishness.
It hurts the cause of Christ.

Exodus 20:13 "You shall not murder."

This was a lot longer then I planned, I felt led to share all this with you. Just remember that I care about you. So does God. God Bless you.​

depression, problems comes in each every persons lives, but above all the greatest things is that
not how to overcome the problem, but instead how u face the problems / situations
In the Bible we read about Paul and Silas, they were beaten and cast in the prison, but in that situation they
just sang Praises and praised God, very soon all their problems were ended even they could save a jailor from commiting suicide
so dear when any problem comes just keep praising God, the rest of the work God will do for you.

I know exactly how you are feeling because I've been there. The reason you are feeling the way you do is because you are going through bad depression and the only way for you to feel better is to see a doctor so he/she can get you on anti-depressants. I had went off my medication for four months and then the serotonin in my brain became so low that I wanted to commit suicide just like you. Thank God I had the courage to tell someone that I needed to go to the hospital for help. Please go and get help NOW. I thank God I did and as a result I am ALIVE.

You should try what i tried,
Just a while ago i was feeling something like that, i wanted to die & so on sad, scared.
But i laid in bed after reading the new testament & laid on my back looking up got my cover & coveredmyself & my eyes from the light then started talking to Jesus Christ & praying to God.

Maybe you can do the same,

I so know what its like to think that death is better then this. I am so tired, and lost and afraid. But you know what. Jesus has given me friends on here, and support, and help. And maybe I am not 100%, but I am here, so the anchor holds. If you ever want to talk, message me.

I suggest her not to speak with those people.. 90% of those people aren't with Christ and they
think they know what is going on in a person's head or think that what they can offer with medication
will work for them.. Certainly who God has for her may or may not be with him.. so I wouldn't call them, I went through that, thinking they'd help but they toooootally didn't.. God will, so just pray to him, cry to him, ask him for help first.. and he will send that someone..

First of all both of the last two are Christian based agencies, with spiritual help and guidance and MEDICAL intervention. I understand where you are coming from, you believe that mentally ill people dont need medication. Well, you are fourteen. And not to be critical but when you become a psychologist (which I am), then you can tell me what professional advice to give. All I did was give her some Christian based options and encouraged her to call them.

In the meantime, I am not disparaging your beliefs. God has worked miracles for some. And for some he has used medication, and doctors to perform his miracles. As long as God gets the credit, thats the most important thing.

It is IRRESPONSIBLE to tell a suicidal person to sit and wait for God to do something. You can offer compassion, understanding, PRAYER, and support. But the responsibility of telling a suicidal person to wait for help is not up to you. Perhaps Gods way of intervention is to have her post on this chat forum and get real advice.

I understand you had a bad experience, and I am sorry for that. But prayer, support, and chatting is the most helpful thing you can do for this person. Do you understand the consequences of what could happen for you to tell someone to do nothing and they feel so bad they end up doing something drastic? This is a thread to support someone who desperately needs help. Do you understand?

In Christ

Did you get a chance to call some of those numbers or look at their internet info? Sometimes just knowing there are others out there with the same problems help. Also I know the one site has a forum just like this one for cutting and for suicide and all kinds of other problems.

Message me if you need anything and I will be praying for you.

God loves you

Well im 19 & i also say that you dont need medication, God can heal, Yes you can take medication, But God can heal I BELIVE with all me that he can heal a person without them having to take medication,
Just like he healed a blind man in the bible.
& Just like hes healed many others.
Sure medication can help but honestly medication helps you one way while harming you another.
The flu shot for example, its suppose to protect you "So they say"
But really its the weak virus its self a long with mercury & other things that harm your body.

& dont say that she said "DONT DO NOTHING JUST WAIT" She NEVER wrote that in her post.
I read it & i dint read that.

She told her to talk to God pray to him ask for help to him first.

I understand your concern but please dont accuse someone of saying something they din't.

And I never said she did, she said to sit and wait for Gods to send someone. I dont want to debate this. Please, this is about a girl who needs help and support, if you have problems with me, or what I believe or what I have said, send me a message, but keep it out of the thread that is here to help someone. Ok. Dont hijack the thread any more then we already have.


Thank you so much
Debbie
