i really want to die, i mean not really but i can't deal with everything anymore, i feel i can't breathe with all the things i have to do, i need to go away and i just wanted some support cause i almost slit mi wrist, i actually cut it but not deep enough, crap

what's going on? define "everything". like a friend told me, just deal with one thing at a time. "best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time," is what she always said. and yes, that expression is only a saying, you don't want to really eat one. is this more school, family, work, friends, etc, type of "everything"? just take deep breaths. you can do this. *hugs* kain

everything is school, work, my mom is coming to visit and though i love her all the stress of that is really closing down on me, plus all i hear from my friend is "we have to do this, we have to do that, we have to do this, etc" i just feel like i can't breath anymore, and i feel weak i just don't want to go on anymore u know. i don't even have the strength to stand up to my friend and tell her "lets just please slow down, i need to slow down" she'll just say "but we have to do this, we have to finish this" and i feel like i'm talking to a wall, i just need time by myself, u know that in the morning i can feel when she comes to my room to wake me up and you know i bodily dread that time? i have a little anxious attack first thing every freaking morning

Maybe u should try to take a break somewhere nobody know you.
And you can think that at least 'it can't get any worse'.
Hug..

Walking by.. Sorry to hear, your on the lows of your depression; anxieties up; and bringing your addiction to rise. Hard when feeling those out of control atop of the inner issues & daily stress. I commend you, in pursuing college to make a better life for yourself.

You have more strength to have gone this far, nurture them and pat yourself on the back for that. It has been your steps. The more you commend your own positives, the stronger you will become to combat.

Just as much as those energy had control to cut & feel boxed in, we can eventually have control on that energy to break-out; speak out.

Listen to yourself, if you can't breathe, take deep breaths. If you feel closed in, get out and take a walk. If you feel like telling someone something, but can't - write it out. Tools of anxieties & depression, lifelong to carry - I hope it helps. Take care. lol
