When I started hurting myself, it quenched my anxiety like nothing else. I feel a sense of release and control, I am afraid I will take my life, I envision myself slicing my wrists sometimes a lot lately, and feel peace. I know this is sad and depressing but there is no one I can talk to who could understand. Please help
I leared that once your gone, your gone. There is no coming back. You probebly have a family that loves you, and there is nothing harder then seeing your family hurt...and knowing that your the person that caused that pain they feel. I remember seeing my brother and dad holding my hand while i was in the ER and in the critical care unit, and the looks in their eyes were heart breaking. I wasn't even dead, and their expressions broke me apart. I can't even imagine how much i would have hurt them if i actually would have died that night. I know now that your family is what holds you up in life. Family isn't just your parents or your siblings...its your friends, and coworkers, and people who you don't even know yet but they still care.
Taking your life isn't an answer to all your problems, its just an easy way out. And life is difficult, and stressful ,and impossible to figure out. I thought taking my life would solve all my problem and all my familys problems...but it probebly would have just made everything worse in the long run.
I really hope you think about what i just said, and if you ever need anything, just let me know. Im always here to talk to, or to get advice
