I've been cutting for a couple months and it's been pretty bad along with my few experiences with drugs and alcohol and trying to cope with numerous relationships that people make fun of me for, so I'm giving up.

i know how you feel... ive been cutting for a long time now and the past few days have gotten really bad..i may not have good advice right now because im dealing with a similar but different situation.. however giving up isn't the answer.. trust me i have wanted to kill myself many times, because i didnt want to deal with life anymore.. but think about your family and friends who really care for you.. also the people here on DS.. you made the first step towards hope by coming on here.. we all are here for you.. please don't give up.. you have so much to live for..

When I get really bad, I kind of sink myself into things I think are going to help with relief, mainly alcohol or taking medications for other things just to get some type of calm.
Like Angel93 said don't give up. Life does get better, I didn't think it would and it's just something people say, but trust me it really does get better.
And if you ever feel like it, just come on here.
