Wakizashi that is one of the best posts i have ever read on this Forum.I know how you feel.

You know my feelings from the last time.
At the very least, get some light. Preferably sunlight, but any bright light will do. And do anything that will make you breathe deeply.
Sitting in a dark room, breathing shallowly, will eventually make anyone dark and brooding.
That part of you that you think craves "end", doesn't really; it's just trying to trick you. And it isn't "you". You possess ideas and feelings... but they don't possess you. You're in charge, even when you think you're not.
Be well. Do something for someone else; especially some random act of kindness. And keep in touch. We care.

The cause -as long as it is not of an organic defect in the brain- can not be cured by taking a pill and sitting down on your ***. There is a general description that what is seen as "depression" is only the part of the iceberg above the water.well ive heard that it is very effective and many conventional anti depresants have side effects and are treating the symptoms rather then the cause
What's more, the anti-depressants are known to be the most suspicious drugs that really cure or not. They need intensive clinic tests with placebos to determine their efficiency before getting an approval.
I don't know why, but i just went mad last night and caused a large gash down my left forearm. One advantage of it is that having this bandage on for a few weeks should prevent me from cutting there anymore. Who knows, i might stop cutting altogether. Which will be good.

Your parents? They must know, right? What are they doing to help you through this?
Just tell your parents what you're telling us. They'll help you much better then anyone oever the internet is going to be able to.
I really dont know how to help you cause theres no really way you have to decided that you don't want life to end if you just keep on going and keep on trying Im sure that good things will happen and things will get better in your life theres no doubt about that. When I feel down I always listen to music when I feel depressed it helps me feel better.
Good luck to you
Good luck to you

i know and i wouldn't suggest just taking it and then doing nothing else, it was only an idea.The cause -as long as it is not of an organic defect in the brain- can not be cured by taking a pill and sitting down on your ***.

Now here's a top tip: next time you feel like cutting yourself, take an icecube. Hell, take several. Hold it in the palm of your hand and squeeze it til you've crushed it. Same feeling of release, but you're not hurting yourself.
Erk, got back from a party last night. Was a bit tipsy (3 shots of strong russian vodka and a bottle of WKD), but in control of myself. Went to my room, as usual. Cut my arm to shreds. Many cuts. I'm starting to think i may take your advice, to tell someone. But the odd thing is, the pain that i crave from these acts of self-mutilation, i no longer recieve. I'm having to cut deeper, and cut more to get the pain. And when i do get the pain, it's the most unbelievable feeling in the world. You feel like no one can bring you down, like your on top of the world. Almost like you never thought about suicide. Then you start to come down, and you look at the cuts, and wonder what is the point in it all.
My friend, you're going to have to face the music and take the first step. You are going to have to get help. Period.
Talking to us is fine, but all we can do is offer long distance advice and sympathy. You are going to have to deal with this. You are going to have to talk to someone who can help fix this situation, and the situation can be fixed no matter what you think.
If you don't know what else to do, then walk into a hospital emergency room, today!, and tell them what's going on. Tell the doctor everything. Tell him you want and need help. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it. Start the ball rolling towards a new and better life.
Now, my friend, get off your ass and get some help. Feeling sorry for yourself and getting sympathy from others is all fine and dandy, but does nothing. Time to take the bull by the horns and deal with it. It's up to you to take the first step.
We're all looking forward to your next post where you tell us you did something positive.

Exactly. What you might be needing is attention in real life, or just to stop caring about other people, and live your life your own way...You feel like no one can bring you down, like your on top of the world.
I dunno if Freud agrees with me.
Well in my first post I had tried to mention what Beirut just said far more clear than me. Get pro help, currywurry, the mess you are within is not a childplay.
oh man it sounds like youve damaged the nerves in your arm, even if you haven't yet thats what will happen, that sort of damage doesn't heal easyly if at all, find another release man, try the ice cube thing axeknight mentioned,
surely your parents have noticed if youve needed bandages?

I got fed up with my arm last night, slashed the palm of my hand. Straight through the skin, lots of blood. Still hurts a bit now.

Jumpers, dear boy, jumpers. Their long sleeves cover everything.surely your parents have noticed if youve needed bandages?
Friend, are you aware that you still come here and tell us about your self hack'n slash game ? Please, for the sake of God, get help. What's more it's getting unpleasant to hear here you cutting through yourself.
That's it. That's all.
We have been friendly, sympathetic, and have offered the clearest advice possible, that being go talk to someone today. But this is enough. I told you not to use the members here as emotional punching bags yet all you do is post about further self-abuse and not one word about what you're doing to try and improve the situation.
This thread is closed. PM me if you want to talk, or would like to open up this thread again to actually discuss matters.
If you start another thread like this I'll insta-ban you on the spot.
You want friends, fine, we're here. You want an audience - go somewhere else.
