Hey. I'm so close...so close to killing myself. Everyday I have to FIGHT not to, its the hardest thing i've ever done. My mom knows... im seeing 3 colnsulars.. but nothing helps. Nothing at all makes me want to live anymore. It hurts to talk, it hurts to smile... I've stopped doing everything i used to love. Nothing can make me happy. I don't want to hurt my friends though, their the only ones keeping me from..ehh. If you cant help me, please do.. (link)

Hi hon,
I recently went through something like this. I was so close to just ending it. You're definitely not alone. However, think about this: Suicide is permanent. Sleep is temporary. Do things that keep your mind off suicide. Lay down, and watch TV until you fall asleep. Also: if one of your friends calls, would you rather have your mom say "Oh, (s)he is asleep" or -cry- "(s)He committed suicide last night."
Also, try visiting a psychiatrist. I've been to one of those. Millions of people visit them each year, it's something that is not to be ashamed of. There's nothing wrong with medication for illnesses, and a mental problem is just as much an illness as say, the flu.
Good luck hon, and stay strong!
-Katie
