Q: I feel incredibly suicidal, and I am so close I can taste it. I can't TELL anyone. HELP ME PLEASE.
--Edit: Well. I was a cutter also, for 5 years so I know where you are coming from but that isnt a healthy alternative. If you have AIM, we could exchange screen names, and we could talk on here so this isnt as public?


Well you just told everyone here on advicenators so thats a good first step. Suicide is a horrible thing for anyone to do and it causes emotional pain to everyone that knows that person and the people who love them. I would suggest visiting this website

http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/

It has helped me and my friends many times when we felt that we were at our wits end.

Dont make any spur of the moment decisions, if you are contemplating it I would sleep on it and chances are you'll feel better in the morning. The most common times to think of suicide are when things are unseemingly unbearable. That is generally when our adreneline is pumping and we dont think before our actions. If you take time to think it through and write down the reasons that you feel you want to commit suicide, you can help yourself understand ways to fix them.

Try keeping a journal and record your thoughts from day to day to see when the feelings seem most strong. If they seem stronger around times where something big happened that day (fight with a friend, parents fighting, bad day @ school) then chances are you just dont know how to deal and need to find a release.

Music is always good. Running/exercising/smoking(if you smoke cigarettes. If not I dont suggest it.) Screaming into a pillow, punching a pillow, calling a close friend and talking about what happened. Or if you dont want to tell people exactly whats going on you can talk to a counselor and tell her that you are stressed and ask if she knows any counselors or psychologists that she could recomend you go see to have someone to vent to. everything that goes on between you and the shrink will remain confidential.

If you need anything further - Message me.

thanks for trying to help. I have a release... I'm a cutter, but I know thats not good either. I don't know WHAT to do.
