Hi, so I am a second year university student currently taking civ eng. last semester I struggled a lot with depression, probably should have been admitted to hospital a few times but i wasnt. I ended up getting help from a friend who is a part of a support group at my school. anyways end of september this year i attempted suicide, only reason it didnt go all the way was because the knife i used was incredibly dull and barely skin, tried a few more times that night with blades but couldnt go through with it. ended up messaging a friend around 1 am but i dont remember this, there is about an hour and half of the night i dont remember. my friend helped me through the following days but even now i still cannot think to deeply about what happened. I hate myself for not going through with, but i hate myself for attempting, and as well for people knowing about it (there is a rule at my school that if someone attempts suicide certain people must be informed) things are going well now but because of what happened and because of how many people know i feel like they look at me differently or treatment differently, as if i am going break if they say something wrong. guess i am just wondering if anyone else has gone through the same thing or has any advice. Im just trying figure why everything happened and how i can put it behind me for good. Thanks!

i know how this feels like, ive attempted suicide a few times but never was brave enough to go to the end because i kept in mind that if id leave id break a lot of close people to me even though i really wanted to commit suicide cause i really thought it was the only option i had and then a month after the last time i tried to commit suicide i went to see my school "therapist" she gavve me lots of advice like writting letters to relieve the pain... anyway... suicide is not an option even though you might think that you aren't worth staying, everyone is worth staying no matter what because the people or the things that brings you down in the end they are just jealous of what you have and what they dont! i think the only way you can actually put everything behind would be by moving on and thinking of it as one of life's many obstacles, remember if you were put on this earth its for a reason and you need to finish this fight to the end and not by giving up on everything... think of your best friend, your family and the people who cares for you if you ever feel down and than think about them if you leave they'll be broke and they'll search for reasons why you left.. i know this because im still searching for reasons why my cousin left us behind... anyway stay strong no matter what happens because in the end it will all be worth the fighting! xx

i understand this.
i tried with pills a few times (almost succeeded) and i do other really harmful things that alsmot killed me.
once people know, they treat me like i'm a kid or a doll made of porcelain. i feel like they babysit me all the time - watching everything i do and hovering over me. and like they are super careful with me like they're afraid i'll break.
i'm the same person i was before they knew.
i'm not weak - i would've died if i was weak.
i just wish they'd give some privacy and breathing space after they find out.
i hope things get better for you - nothing is worse than feeling like you're being suffocated by people's good intentions.
i guess that's n ot really advice. sorry.

yes I know how you feel sometime they will even say something but if you don't respond right away they are like I take it back don't take it back I wont break that easy
