struggling with self harm / suicidal thoughts (Long question


Question Posted Monday February 25 2008, 10:48 pm

Im 13 and have a really stressful life. I know, i do think how badly others have it, but that doesnt help with the way i think at all. Im not saying that i have a horrible life, but i just really cant take it anymore. Life just feels utterly pointless right now and nothing anyone has tried to do to cheer me up has changed my views on that. Yeah sure, its easy for most people to just say hold your head high and keep going. Dont let it get to you. But for me it just doesnt work anymore. Iv been cutting for around 2 years now, lately it doesnt feel the same, Like the pleasure has just been taken out of it. Im have plenty of trouble keeping them shallow too. The deeper and more severely i cut the more "real" and relieved of my stress i feel. Its a really bad habbit and i just want to punish myself, im even thinking about swallowing batteries/razors to damage myself from the inside. Just from the guilt of enjoying hurting myself on the outside. Im just surrounded by happy fullfilled people and it hurts. Alot. That im not like them anymore.. oh yeah, i remember when i used to be happy, till everything caught up to me, i just broke down. Its just gone down hill from there. The reasons why i started are farely complicated and would take a while to explain, but i have a agressive and abusive grandad and a whole bunch of other shxt that im not gunna bother typing out. I honestly cant even stand living on this planet. Please, is there anyone that feels like this? Its sad to think someone as young as me feels this way so deeply. I just really dissapoint myself. Non abusive advice would be nice to see,

thanks for reading.

Dear 13 year old,
While you have indicated that there are some situational factors that could be influencing your feelings of hopelessness, it sounds that you are suffering from clinical depression. Most people your age who struggle with depression find comfort in depression groups consisting of others of the same age. It helps a lot to hear about others who are struggling with similar stressors and how they are using healthy techniques to cope with their stressors. Also I strongly encourage you visit with a school counselor or therapist in your community, your suicidal ideation and self mutilation is a cry for help. The fact that you took the time and courage, to follow through and submit this question, is a testimony of your desire to get better, this is a strength you should honor, by seeking help.
Good luck.

What on earth could be so stressful at 13? Did you get your face shoved down a toilet at school? Maybe instead of hurting yourself you should hurt other people. That seemed to get those columbine guy's point across pretty well back in the day. Best of all, if it's still too much to take you can always off yourself too and become an hero! Quit bitching and grow a pair.

right now I am going through something that is making me feel like I want to die. I know that sooner or later it will get better but it doesn't help my current situation you know.
i am different from you in that I don't hurt myself but I have thought of it.
Sometimes you need to find someone to talk to. Do you really want to be happy again? I think you do if you are having issues with this. I know you have probably heard this a million times but maybe you should find a theripist to talk to. They might be able to help you.
I would like to know more about you. maybe I can help.
Just know that there is people out there feeling the exact same way as you.
