One of the biggest reasons why I cut is because I don't think that i would be able to stop me from killing myself otherwise. It makes me feel alive and human, like there's a reason I'm here. People say it won't make the problems go away but the problem is that my head doesn't work right and I'm always depressed, suicidal. The only way to cure that would be to die. I hate how people say they don't want me to die but they don't want me to cut either. I can do one or the other and I'm already trying so hard to stay alive for you. I don't expect people to understand this. I just want them to accept it. Who even truly wants to live anyway? When I was in hospital after trying to kill myself my stepdad told the doctor that I'm not depressed, I'm just a drama queen and I overreacted. If my pain isn't even worth being acknowledge, why would anyone else care about it? They wouldn't. And if they did they'd have to be just as dumb as I am. No one could actually ever love me that much. There is no point in living. People lie to themselves and pretend there is because otherwise they'd have to accept the fact that nothing you do means anything. The only place we're headed in life is to death. I'd rather skip the detour of pain and misery and get there the quickest way thanks.

My heart breaks for your pain. Father please let this young man feel Your love, let him know that WE truly love him, and that he is valuable. In Jesus name. Amen

The best way to help yourself is to help others in THEIR pain. We ALL hurt, most of have REAL issues and stuff we have to deal with on a day to day basis. So stop whining, grow up and go do something useful with your life instead. Love didy

I never quite know what to say to people feeling this way because I know that when you're really depressed nothing seems to help anyway.

Please try to gather courage to tell someone who knows you well. Preferably someone mature enough to help you combat this. If you feel you cannot tell those who know you, find someone else. i.e. The Samaritans

The reason you are cutting is because you have unresolved pain that you need to give to God to heal.you have a little box you cram full of all the hurt and keep it locked inside.the only reason you cut is when you bleed its like the physical pain helps you to deal with the emotional pain.well the longer you cut it makes it more painful to deal with the emotional.I use to cut because i was so deppressed was tierd of crying.but the truth is it dident fix nothing.It just made me look like a freak who wore long socks all the time.The only person who can fix you is God.Give him your box. Matthew 11:28 KJVSCome unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:29 KJVS
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
[30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Jesus was also called many names Matthew 11:19 KJVS
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. He also had scars... John 19:34 KJVS
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.so if you want to know about pain and suffering you have a friend whos been there.he was our example that lifes not always easy.In fact after i stopped cutting lifes been alot harder.but theres hope.i still have hope and you still have hope.nows the best time to open upyour bible and read the good news.if you need to talk you can just drop me a message.it may notget better but if you have God...he will help you endure.there is hope.there is a reason your here.

Well, if you think about... clearly there's something stopping you. I think deep down everyone values life because life in itself is valuable. Death... does nothing and is nothing. Life... has potential and can do things. So, in life there's hope for goodness and I think that's worth living for.

Jesus is awesome. When I first heard about Jesus I just couldn't help but think he was good. Jesus said, John 14:6 " Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

If life's true definition is Jesus than I choose to live according to that definition.

The problem with today is that creation and life for us is not the kind of life that should be. We live in a fallen world and humanity lives infected by sin and as a result... when bad things happen, we think... "we'll that's just life." That's false. Life is not suppose to be this way. Life is suppose to be only good. The end and destiny of life is not death, but more life... eternal life.

Life is really good. Please let me know anything okay

We live for the glory of God, and in gloryfing God we find our highest joy. We were created to know God, to enjoy Him, to find in Him our deepest happiness, your problem is what the Bible calls sin, sin destroys and distorts everything, and the only way to get out of there is through God's grace by faith in Christ alone, You need to get alone with God and struggle in prayer and fasting until God does something, you need to read the word of God and pray for understanding so that the Holy Spirit will enlighten you to understand what is the perfect, good and acceptable will of God.

Don't let those suicidal or deppresive thoughts that come into your mind talk to your self, instead talk to your self that there is hope in God, that there is hope for those who seek the Lord, that the Lord will never cast away anyone who will come after Him. Talk to your self instead of letting your self talk to you. That's what the psalmist does in Psalm 43:5 "Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God."

Hope this helps
