A Broken Bleeding Soul
19 years ago
Hey Amanda... one thing for sure, you are NOT alone! I've been through it all. I'm 16 and I've attempted suicide three times. I've been beaten by my dad since I was ten years old. My dad walked out on my mom and I when I was 13, and even though he abused me it still affected me how he just left one day. So basically, after he left, I just got really really out of hand. I've never had a problem with making friends at school, so as I entered a new high school, I mixed in with the wrong friends. I got into drugs and alcohol... and HEAVY drugs. I've basically tried every type of drug there is, except for heroine (I'm afraid of needles). My mom no longer had any control on me... I would leave the house when I wanted and I would come back when I wanted. Sometimes I would show up a week later. My mom didn't seem to care either though, being that she is an alocoholic. I started cutting when I was 12, but it wasn't as bad. As soon as I mixed with the wrong type of friends, that's when my cutting really became a problem. I basically did drugs every night, which means that I cut every night... I couldn't feel the pain so sometimes I would go really deep. Up until I was 15 years old, I was a heavy drug user and I was SO into cutting and I was very suicidal. My best friend, Danielle, was just like me in every way. Everything from the drugs to cutting. Well, when I was 15 and so was Danny, we made a promise to each other in February of 2004 that no matter how much we cut ourselves, we will NEVER go as far as to committing suicide. One night, in April of 2004, once again I got extremely high and I decided that my time had come. I slit my wrists and Danielle had found me unconcious, still bleeding. She called for help and I spent 5 months in the hospital. I was let out in August of 2004. Still, I continued the drugs and the cutting, despite my mom's efforts of sending me to psychiatrists and rehab centers. Then, in September of 2004, Danielle committed suicide. I lost my best friend. I found her dead in her room, and the instant I found her dead, I attempted suicide once more. But, fortunately or unfortunately, I was found once again, unconcious. Again, I was taken to the hospital, where I hated the fact that I was still alive. I wanted to die so bad, knowing that my best friend had just killed herself, and broken the promise we made to each other. I was let out in October of 2004, just in time for my birthday, where I turned 16. My first birthday without my best friend. Basically, from that day on, I decided that I need to change. Now, I've been drug free for 9 months, ever since November of 2004. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, my dad walked back into my life in March of 2005. Once again, he started beating me. I gathered up the courage to tell my mom, who filed a police report. My dad is now in jail for beating me. My mom is still an alcoholic and I still struggle with the fact that my best friend committed suicide. I don't think I will ever get over it. One thing I wasn't able to overcome was my problem with cutting. But, I have faith in myself that I can in fact overcome it. So, now that my new goal, stopping the cutting for good. I think I can do it, keeping in mind that I haven't touched any type of drugs for 9 months, and trust me, it was difficult for someone like me, someone who had done drugs everyday for over 2 years straight. And now, Danielle's younger sister, Stephanie, is becoming just like Danielle and I used to be. She's only 12 but she's already started cutting and she's already gone to the hospital for attempting suicide, and it's like she looks up to me as if I'm her role model. So, I'm trying to set a good example to her by completely stopping the cutting. Hopefully she'll learn from all the good I've done, and not the bad. So yeah, that's my life. Sorry it's kind of long but I hope you read it all. Anyways, good luck with everything. I hope this gave you an idea that no matter how messed up of a situation you're in, it's possible to pull through. All you need is faith in yourself... and I speak out of experience. |

SUICIDE IS NOT THE ANSWER!!!! LIFE WILL GET BETTER IF YOU ALLOW IT TO....PEOPLE WHO TRY ARE JUST CONFUSED AND DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO OR JUST WEAK..i tried to commit suicide once...but in the end it will just lead to more suffering....i belive in everything happens for a reason...and in the end everything will add up...who knows maybe when ur 30 u will win a million dollars and all or ur pain will go away........but you will never know if you kill urself...you will just sufer in hell.......ok i got that out of my system..so how was your day |

Suicide is not the answer.The answer is to change the world into the love it used to be,so many years ago. I accuse the world for the pain it has caused me but I thank it for letting me have the only things worth living for-LOVE AND FRIENDS |

I will try to make a long story short. I had thought about suicide for 4 years off and on, even seriously consitered it. I had tried a few 1/2 hearted attempts, until my sophmore year. My parents found out I was cutting, and instead of realizing that there must be something very wrong if I would slash open my own skin for comfort, they made my life even more of a living hell than it already was. I was stuck at home all the time, they wouldn't let me go out. They took away my car... funny that all the knives and razor blades stayed in the house... I guess that was too much of an inconvience. I tried to kill myself many times after that. Would have the last time I tried, if I had grabbed the right bottle. Then they diognosed me as bipolar, put me on Lamictal, and I feel so much better. Therapy, though it is hard work, is really helping and my medication has kept me stable enough to do it. I still think about it now and then, but not really the act of suicide, but rather the feeling of death. Just to be gone, never having to think or feel again. That sounds good to everyone every once in a while, even if they arn't suicidal. Sorry, this turned out to be long, what can i say? I tried. |

well...i keep going on and off n ya i agree suicide is selfish..i mean think off the people that'll be hurt because of your death..n this is always what goes though my head when i think of death n suicide..i think bouts the ppl who actually care for me..i couldnt hurt them. n besides i know i dont have the courage to kill my self, i've stared at some pack of pills for ages and n held a knife thinking whether i should or shouldnt. n sometimes death seems to be the best option...but i have so much more to live for. i know that n so does everyone else. |

Suicide is NOT the ANSWER! I tried it when I felt no one cares and lost my best friend! Things get better! There ARE people who care about you, believe it or not! If you keep it up, you will find that out, THE HARD WAY! Suicide is NO GOOD! Believe me when I tell you. PEOPLE CARE! |

I feel you, bro. Nothings wrong about hating your life or those around you. Hell, I even do it too. Every night I cut, to forget everything I fucked up that day. But whatever, back to the suicide issue, or whatever.. |

"I wish I could kill myself, but I'm just to coward to do it.. I thought for a while I could get someone to kill me, but no one will.. even though no one likes me. God, why can't it just end..?" i sorta feel like u do, but i feel the only thing that im holding on to is my mom, if she wasnt there id probaly have killed myself by now. i thought the same thing to maybe someone will kill me, during major thunder storms, id stand out in the rain hoping lightning will hit me. |
