Im Depressed, I cut myself until you could barely see through the blood, I want to overdose and I don't know how to get help. Please help me.


Question Posted Saturday September 17 2011, 3:18 am

Im 13 and so depressed. I think i might be suicidal. I almost did an overdose before i went to school today. I guess that does make me suicidal. But instead of an overdose i just cut my wrist, hip, and thigh until you could barely see through all the blood. My question is do I need help? And if I do, what kind of help? I have no friends, i cant pass science or metal shop. And my drawings are getting bad. What should I do. Please help me.

DEAR person!
Sending out much love to you from far away!

If you ever feel serious about suicide, you are in good company, so so many of us have been through it, and felt exactly as you may feel

And so if it does become that serious, like you are considering, please try talking to these folks.

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-TALK (8255): Suicide hotline, 24/ 7

The Samaritans of New York
www.samaritansnyc.org/Confidential, non-religious, 24-hour suicide prevention hotline (212) 673-3000

I am thinking about you. And sending you love.

I hope that by now you've got the help you need. At 13, your hormones are probably in overdrive and you don't know how to cope with everything. Self-harming could be a sign that you have a build-up of tension and this is how you try to release it. It may appear to help but in the long-term, it's slowly dragging you down.
Many people go through a similar trauma growing up and everyone deals with it in their own way.
You have an inner strength to call on at times like this. Try to take control of your life in small ways, stop self-harming, find friends to talk to, ask a teacher for help in school, improve drawing by practicing. You can do it!
Hope this helps, let me know how you get on?

Please, please, please get help! I totally understand what your going through, I'm 13 also and have been suicidal before, and it SUCKS. Talk to a friend about it, or your parents. I can understand it is embarassing but once you talk about it I guarantee you'll feel so much better. When I talked to my best friend about my issues, I felt a wave of relief and haven't cut myself since. Also, they have 1800-suicide if you ever feel like talking. Please don't kill yourself! Hope I helped!

Yes!! You are not ok!! Sorry but you need help.
If you have a Mom or a Dad you can go to them and a way to tell if they love you they will do something about you. If you don't want to or something tell a friend and cheek your self in to a place were they help crazy people. I'm sorry I really I'm.But it's that or the hospital for were you cut your self.
But they well only turn a put you there(were crazy people go. I can't think of it's name is right now) when they are done. So go there by your self or die by cutting your self or your cuts not being taken care of right. I feel so bad for you.

Sorry.

Yes you do need help. Being suicidal, almost overdosing, cutting yourself to the point of bleeding is not a phase. It is a sign of something bothering you to the point of depression. You need help right now, today.


You can get that help by talking with your parents and telling them what is going on, how you are feeling and what you have been doing to yourself. Ask them to take you to a hospital emergency room so you can be evaluated and started on medication for depression.


If mom or dad are not home when you read this then pick up the phone and call 911. Tell the call taker what you wrote to us and how you are feeling at that time. They will probably want to stay on the phone while the proper emergency services are sent to help you.


As a first responder I can tell you that most likely the emergency services that will be dispatched will be fire rescue and the police department. Don't be afraid of the police coming as they are coming to help you not arrest you. Where I live this is done to keep you safe by dispatching the units that can reach you first and keep you safe until an ambulance can get to you to take you to the hospital.


Most importantly is to try and talk to your parents if they are home and to see a doctor today. Today being Saturday the best way to see a doctor is at a Hospital or clinic emergency room.

You do need help. I went through this phase when I was your age and I realized I was NOT depressed. I was just looking for attention.
I talked with my mom about how I was feeling and told her everything and she helped me so much that I changed and never tried to kill myself ever after that.
So, I recommend talking to a trusted adult about all your problems.
Good luck hon! (:
