I'm feeling it so much today... I've been a mess, crying off and on all day today, I have had short period thoughts of killing myself.. I've had strong urges to cut, all I feel is pain that never goes away.. I feel like I'm in shackles and that these shackles are weighing me down.. I feel so empty and I can't do this anymore.. "when your screaming inside but no one can hear you" I feel this all to well.. there is nothing..

I understand that you were feeling empty and sad for a whole day. That can take a toll on anyone, but that doesn't make you a mess. You're going through a lot of pain, you feel empty, and you had a strong urge to cut. I've been there. For me, cutting felt like it was worth it for a few seconds. Then, it became a repeated habit even to this day. You had a strong urge to hurt yourself, but instead you came here. On the bright side, that shows resilience and discipline. I think you're doing a good job just by coming here and not giving in to the pain and the emptiness.

How about you call either the National Suicide Prevention Hotline or a similar local one in your area. A web search will get you some sites and phone numbers. Here's a little secret. You don't have to actually be thinking about suicide, you just have to be in some sort of emotional crisis. Call and talk to someone. They are trained to listen and help you.

so sorry you are feeling this way. I hear you. sometimes when I feel this way it is a relief to me to know that others have felt the same way. you aren't alone. can you take some deep breaths and just relax for awhile. cutting isn't great. I used to do that a long time ago. this isn't your fault. I call the suicide hotline once in awhile when i'm in a lot of distress. it can help. hang on. try not to damage yourself. I know it's hard. distract yourself with a funny video or something. I'm not feeling so hot tonight either and am going to watch weeds on Netflix. it's pretty funny if you get Netflix you could watch that or something else. hugs.

You definitely are not alone. I was EXACTLY where you are last week. This week, it got just a TINY better. I am not as emotional. Progress. Look for your progress.
