Suicide: Tell me what to do, please! I don't know who to turn to and I need advice!
Question Posted Sunday August 19 2012, 11:06 pm
I am 15 years old and a pastors kid. I feel completely worthless and I can't find help. Today I was seriously thinking about killing myself and my boyfriend is the only one who I've told about my suicidal thoughts and he doesn't know what to do to help me. I've been cutting myself for a couple of years now and I'm tired of hurting. I dont want to live anymore! Im mentally and emotionally exhausted! My parents or friends don't seem to notice my pain or my scars.....I feel like nobody cares! Please I need help!!!! Tell me what to do, please! I don't know who to turn to and I need advice!

The questions and the heartache are endless, believe me.
Tell someone, get the information out there somewhere, anywhere! Tell somebody how you feel; the release of all that tension maybe enough to show you a different route out of your pain.
Once you've told one person, the telling gets easier. I'm sure if your pastor parent knew how you felt they'd know pretty much what to say and do to help you. Being a pastor's child, you probably know how to keep under their radar so their alarm bells don't ring. So tell them! They've been through teenage-hood too and know how bad it can get, so give them a chance to help you, please?
Really hope this helps, if you can, let me know how you get on or if I can help further keep in touch via site.

Normally one of the suggestions I would make is to talk with you clergymen. In this case that may be your father. Who may be to busy helping others to notice your pain and possibly part of the problem. There is help that you can reach out for.
The first is the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. It is available 24/7 365 days a year. The professionals manning the phone will talk with you and listen to you for as long as you need to talk. Then they will help you find people in your own neighborhood who can help you. Their number is 1--800-273-TALK (8255).
If you are actively suicidal or feel like hurting yourself, cutting, then please pick up the phone and call 911. Tell the call taker what you have written to us. They will send help to you.
If you are to the point were you feel like committing suicide then you are suffering from some form of depression. This is not something you can get over yourself or with over the counter medications. Depression needs a doctors type of help. Once the doctors lifts the fog of depression from you then you will see things in an entirely different light and you can repair whatever is hurting you. I speak from experience.

You need to talk to someone. If you want your parents to notice your pain, you need to talk to them. My parents didn't notice for years, neither did my friends. I didn't want them to and I didn't think they cared, but they love you and they will care.
Although, my dad didn't take it very well. They will be really upset and expect a lot of emotions but you need help before it's too late you know?
You writing this shows that you do want help. Just talk to them and tell them what's been going on and say you want help to stop these thoughts and your cutting problem. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]
