I want to cut. I want to die. Oh, what am I going to do?

Start by remembering what you're grateful for. As bad as you think you've got it, others have it way worse.

DON'T GIVE UP! I understand that people cut themselves to try and cope with emotional anguish. They don't want to die they just want to end their emotional despair. Please talk to a trusted friend or health care professional. You need someone to guide you in dealing with your negative emotions. 'DON'T GIVE UP' and don't let your negative emotions be the boss of you! You can't fight this on your own--Proverbs 3:5,6

Feelings come and go...don't let the downs discount the ups, or take them away. What makes you happy? What makes you laugh and feel good? Think about and do those things. Life is constantly changing, so whatever is getting you down right now won't last. But please get help! There's nothing wrong or embarrassing about getting help. That's the smart thing to do. Everyone needs help sometimes. We're human; it's gonna happen.

Know this: You were put on this earth for a reason. Give life a chance to show you what that is. As a suicide survivor myself, I can tell you that had I been successful, it would have been a horrid mistake. Life is so precious. Have you ever seen the movie It's a Wonderful Life? It's an oldie but goodie, and helped me realize that my life is significant. I have value, even in the smallest ways. And you do too. :)
