I know this is gonna sound so stupid but I started hurting myself last year and and it was because I genuinely hate myself. I hate how I have to do everything right or else I get yelled at by my mom, and I hate that I was so stupid as to think my "friends" actually cared about me. Everyone hates me, and when they show it, I want to die more. I just want to die so I don't have to put up with anything anymore. Having an eating disorder with all of this other stuff going on and an anxiety/depression disorder is ENOUGH. I am done now. Goodbye all…

When I was your age, I felt the exact same way. I was socially inept, so I had been ostrasized by everyone my age since kindergarten, and my parents would yell at me for every little mistake, and God forbid I went to the counselors about anything. I had tried killing myself three times; they were all terrifying experiences, and eventually I realized this was not the way out. Have you heard the phrase “fake it ‘til you make it?” That’s what I did; I lied to myself until I found a true will to live. Whenever I felt like killin myself, I just thought of everything I loved most that I would never experience again in death–my favorite shows, my pets, the future I hoped to build for myself–and eventually, it worked. It’s been around three years now; I’ve finally made friends, I don’t worry as much about my mistakes, and I’ve learnt to deal with my parents’ reactions to them.
I am not the only one that’s been through what you are now. We’ve all survived. I know you can too :)
