theres' no way out of this mess. there is no way out. i don't want to die but i need to. there is no relief coming, it's only going to get worse.

i called the suicide hotline today and have an appt with therapist. it's not going to be enough. i can't handle this anymore. i can't be in this much pain every day. it's too much pain.

how can you survive when you hate your entire family. they set me up and turned on me. all of them including my mother who i thought was my best friend.

I'm so sorry for your pain. Sorry for the struggles with your family. I'm not going to comment on a situation I don't fully know but I'm here if you'd like to talk. Send me a message. Sometimes a cry for help needs an ear, not and analyze. Keep hope. Love

I would not let a 'bad' family or anyone else to kill me.

You try not to become desperate but realize that their actions should not dictate your happiness and you do not need their approval. You go your way in life, perhaps they agree and perhaps they don't and you do what you think is right.

thank you. your comments are beams of light in my life. I really appreciate it. I have calmed down some tonight. my therapy appointment went well. she took my side which is what I needed. she said it sounded like my whole family was crazy and selfish and I was the sane one which made me feel better too because I started to feel like they were all right to be treating me so badly. just talking to an outside person like that and getting a reality check took some of the intense emotions out of me and calmed me down some. I think I am going to try to go on from here. I have kind of forgiven my mother some even though I am still mad at her. forgiven maybe isn't the word but I've calmed down a little and am going to keep at these problems step by step. thank you guys again for being there. i'm not too keen on therapy but sometimes it can really give some relief.

That is a relief to hear, Ms. Anna. I agree with other replies ... sounds like it is them .... not you.

I'm glad things are better now. I know how you feel, it is very hard to cope when everything seems hopeless and like there's no way out. Everyone has a choice though. Take care and message me if you need.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. It is very awesome that you have an appointment with a therapist! That is such an important step. Have you talked with your family about the way that their actions have affected you? Honesty is so important with family members. Please commit to going to see the therapist because they can help you figure out way to cope. It is very very helpful and important in your recovery process. Your life is valued and precious!! I hope everything gets better!
