I’m so sorry you’re feeling that way, umzza. My heart ached as I read your post, and I wish I could give you a hug. Please don’t to be hard on yourself. Putting an end to your life is not the solution for your problems. Such a decision would be tragic beyond words. Are you seeing a therapist? I believe it’s necessary for you to get help without any delay. Have you tried contacting the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline? They operate toll-free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Just call 1-800-273-TALK (8255). I said a prayer for you, asking the Lord to surround you with His healing presence in a special and powerful way, filling you with His love, peace, and strength in the days ahead. Remember that you deserve to feel better and you don’t need to carry your burdens alone. You can always come here to share and you have our support and prayers. Stay strong. Hugs!

I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles, Umzza. How old are you? Remember that your life is precious no matter what struggles you are facing. As you may have already realized, cutting may seem a way to express or maybe even release some of the deep emotions by purposely causing physical injury. Unfortunately, this way of handling feelings always results in even greater hurt. And, this is not an issue you should try to handle alone.
Know that I’m praying, asking God to provide comfort, encouragement and help to you at this time. Also, it might be helpful to reach out to your loved ones and consult a counselor. I know that Focus on the Family can provide a free phone consultation with a licensed counselor if you call this number 855-382-5433.
Additionally, you may try some practical steps by looking for things to do to keep your mind off your negative feelings. Maybe you could pursue an activity, sport, or hobby that you enjoy and that makes you feel good. Physical exercise has the added benefit of helping to relieve negative emotions naturally, too. Hang in there, friend.
Jeremiah 29:11: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Are you drinking because your depressed or are you depressed because your Drinking: I fell into the later category. Suicidal thoughts also seemed to come as a result of drinking, not the other way around. I know Jesus will never leave you if you have given your heart to him, and if you have not... its the only place to start healing from my friend. Im praying for you.
