I'm so depressed right now. I'm highly thinking about either taking my own life or hurting myself to deal with the pain that I'm going through. I feel as though I can't go on anymore. I feel as though everybody will be better off without me. I just feel so alone in my feelings. It's like I'm drowning and I can't get my head above water. I really need the support from anyone that can make me feel better.

You are not alone. I understand. Please dont hurt yourself. I dont know any magic words.. I'm often there myself. All I can say is do whatever you can to get yourself out of that danger zone. Reaching out here is a good first step. Reach out to a loved one, or a hotline of you need to. Hugs

Please don't hurt yourself. . I am very isolated and every couple of months if not more often call the crisis line to talk me off the ledge. It really helps to reach out to others, here , a friend, family, hotline. Sometimes that human contact is enough to help you feel more connected and not wanting to leave earth just yet.

it just keeps coming back over and over again doesn't it? I'm not sure but I think I've seen you hear before very desperate. I have that too. like it doesn't resolve. I started therapy again recently and am hoping that helps. something to do with unresolved trauma. I don't know what i'm saying tonight i'm so tired but I wanted to just say hang in there. you aren't alone. there are a lot of us the same here. I find some comfort in that, hope you can too.

Don't believe that lie - You are irreplaceable. You have the potential to offer so much to the world.

You might also try to print out a page or two worth of conversation from people you love, the favorite parts, and hold onto it to read when you start feeling alone. (Written words "say", not "said".)
