That feeling of impending crisis

You know that feeling where you know you are going to hurt yourself you feel it coming and know you shouldn't but you will anyway. I was always a very logical person but now I am self harming and constantly thinking of death. I used to bruise my face but moved onto burning my arm as it was easier to hide. Not so much in the summer. I know I have people that worry about me but the one person I want to care doesn't and I don't know how to deal with it. It's been 3 years of hell and I just want it all to end.

How can you move on from grief, how can you move on from loss? I wonder why I feel this way, why can't I feel normal again and just enjoy life. It all seems pointless and hopeless like living a lie. Trapped in a hell that won't end. I know I would have killed myself by now if I wasn't so scared that it would fail and I would wake up In hospital having to deal with more problems. More shame and heartbreak. I doubt I could even get suicide right. Sorry I really need to vent. I am just so tired of life, tired of hurt, tired of the tears tired of everything.

Hi Missing
I know the pain of depression and feelings of hopelessness.
I am trying hard not to be alone right now. It's hard to ask others
to be with me because I feel like I am asking for a baby sitter.
So you have anyone to be with? Do you have a counselor
or someone that you could call?
I hear your hopelessness and feelings of shame
about how you feel. It's a long way down and a long way
back up but you can do it. Please friend me, I am here for you.

I think people cannot really be logical. We do what we like. researcher had found the logical part of the brain and the emotional part of the brain are connected. So dont beat yourself up.
I never had a long term relationship.I have no one to lend on.

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
