Question Posted Tuesday April 5 2005, 12:29 pm

alot of my friends are depressed lately..and theres so much crap going on and people i don't know...i wanna help them but i don't know what's making them so depressed and it's causing them to do shit that hurts them if you get my drift..and some of it is just over little stuff..i don't know what to say to them anymore cuz i love them dearly but honestly cutting doesn't help it it only made things worse and they don't get that and one of my friends is going through more crap then ever and part of the reason i can't stop..ugh help!

wow man... i know exactly how you feel [[friends being depressed]].
the best thing you can do about the people you wanna help is just reach out to them. let 'em know you're there to talk to them.
but..dont make it a huge deal...cuz usually when yer depressed you dont want people to keep asking//telling you the same thing...
so just say "i just want you to know that i wanna help you...and im here to listen"...
blah, blah, etc etc.

yer right tho...cutting doesn't help. people do it [[usually]] bcuz they blame themselves for everything thats driving them to do it. if it really is something thats not their fault, tell them that.
then again...sometimes ppl cut for attention.

im not sure i caught your drift that you "can't stop"...but if you are cutting...try your best to stop. it's hard dealing with everything thats going on right now [[sorry if u arent..i just didn't catch that part]]...
but think...once you do get through it, things are better. they do get better. stuff just happens...
if nothing ever did..there'd be no change in life. it'd be the same thing everyday.

i am sorry that yer goin through this tho :-/. but things get better i promise...
