    I sit on my bed for about ten minutes, and then i think about what it is that i am so worried or stressed about (usually homework/assignments/tests/exams) and den i just breathe in and out. and sometimes i take a nap.

    Listen to music, why hurt myself when it would just make me feel so low

    Well, I to feel like that.. I used to feel like that every night pretty much. But there are ways to cope. Find something new that interests you. Like writing or listening to music. Try everything you can think of before you start to hurt yourself. Because you may regret it if you do that. I'm not saying it's bad.. Well it is but that how some people have to cope... There's always someone you can talk to. You just have to let someone know how you feel and see if they are the one you trust about talking to about it...

    I write lists of things I like about myself, even if they are a stretch at the time they will help you in the long run. I am a former cutter and have been sober for a while and please listen to me on this one, it is not the way to go. Do not fall into that black hole. Focus on the positive

    I usually go away from wherever i am. If i can be alone for a while it helps. Otherwise i force myself to fall asleep and if nothing else i got out and party...but latley i've been able to take care of things or avoid bad situations altogether by isolating myself and making sure i'm stable enought to deal with people.

    you have to know your own limits before you start pushing them.

    I encourage you all to listen to this song when your down.

    lifehouse-storm

    it is the most peaceful song to listen to in a hard time.

    I'm currently in one of the better times of my life..but before I got here I was really lonely for about a year..I had to sacrifice alot that I didn't want to..and it all paid off to get me here. But there is always going to be another battle to go through and this song I KNOW will keep me going.

    You know i listened to that song [i've had it for a while i really like lifehouse] but i find diary of dreams to be even better in helping me. they have a very haunted sound and their songs are full of emotion...more turmoil than lifehouse...though lifehouse is just as deep, diary of dreams seems more general...

    the two that always get me are "colorblind" and "she and her darkness" by them. they're amazing like that

    I go to nature. I constantly think. most of the time i write or talk to someone because it feels so much better to just have someone help you. Do not end your life friend for even though it looks like there is no way out of your situation, things will get better. I am not saying they will stay better, but thats life. an endless cycle of ups and downs and thats what makes it so beautiful, the unpredictability of it all.

    Life is full of beauty you just need to clear your head.

    much love

    Me, i just go to somewhere silent..then i would stay there trying to forget my problems..sometimes i listen to music or trying to dream/think about a story i want to write about...there are also times that i would try to hurt myself(cutting,punching onto something until my fist gets hurts,playing with knives) especially if everything is already too much..but most of the time i prevent that to happen...

    Might sound strange..
    but i listen to some of the most somber and depressing music that i own, stuff that makes me cry over and again, and let the words soak in, letting me know that i'm not the only one in the world that feels that way....
    and it makes me feel a little bit better..

  • FaithHopeNLove

    I cry. Sometimes life is just too much. Theres so much crap and I feel all alone. Like no one would care what happened to me. But then, I remember that life is what you make of it, and tomorrow is another day.

    Well,i just try to vent out my depression by crying. .but,now tears doesn't seem to come out anymore.so,i just write a bit,listen songs which do helps a lot. .
    U try as well. .but i guess it would be better if you just get involve in other activities like watching movie,playing game or cooking etc. .the help will be temporarily but still will works out for a while. . .

    Hmm.. i guess you feel like that, when you try to sort out everything at the same time. Maybe.. just try to forget them for a while, and take it piece by piece..

    i just sit on my window, having a smoke, drink a beer.. and think, tomorrow is a better day..

    I use to cut myself but then found that by doing that all i was doing was leaving awful scars which constantly remind me of the pain and bad times so hurting myself really was no help at all it just made everything worse.

    now i just listen to music, read, write, play my guitar, draw, play my drums and i have come to realize that crying isn't always a bad thing either.

    Before I would pop pills but that has gotten me into trouble and it didn't help anything really. I still sometimes pop pills every now and then, but not as often. Don't do that though cuz it really doesn't help much. Now I listen to music, write poetry, cry, Whatever works. I do random things. Like beat up my pillows and bed. A few times I cut but I stopped that right away. It doesn't help at all.

  • Love Panda

    There are many things i do,

    if i feel a situation coming on, i try and meet with loads of friends, if thats not possible i put happy club music on and it boosts me up, even going to the gym that way im working off the stress.

    go for a long walk alone, (i have 2 special places) walk along the sea front and smell the salt sea, or walk through the nature park thats close to home, both are very soothing in a time of need. sometimes i just sit in the sand and watch the waves, thinking of nothing seems to calm me.

    if im really bad i cry to really sad sentimental songs and think of the ones who have past and how much im needed here in the present.
    i cut when my emotions are running so high i dont know what to do, if i cant settle doing anything else.i usually try and paint my nails before i cut though as it takes my concentration on to something else, once ive started something it has to be perfect, so i know by the time my nails are fully done that my feelings would have calmed down - normally put a funny disney/WB film on while doing my nails.

    crying myself to sleep works for me almost all the time.sleep is good, it makes me forget why i was angry in the first place. before sleeping though, i light my granuals thing, that lets off a nice calm fragrance, and put my holosnic cd on, while i sleep my subconcious is getting happier with the dude talking on the cd, and the rain in the bkground. i love listning to rain.always calming.

    the alternatives are: jigsaw, computer games, gardening, crafting, shopping, looking through photo albums, talking to old and new friends on the phone, (best if you have the package were you can talk for an hour and it dont cost a thing), reading, cleaning, helping out in a charity shop(makes me realise who much bad others have it)

    HOPE IT HELPS
    PEACE & LOVE
