Can Somebody Help Me Please...?!


Question: Can Somebody Help Me Please...?
i....i don't know if i'm depressed or have some sort of disorder, or something...but i feel like i may be better off dead, but then i have this strong theory that when we die we live our life over again, and i really don't want to do that to myself, so i feel stuck...i feel enclosed, i feel hopeless, i used to love PE and sports out of school, but now i don't, i hate it, and i hate life, i get these voices in my head that get on my nerves, they say 'you'll be better off dead' or 'just stab yourself now' and i tell them no, i'm trying to beat this, i'm trying to be strong, and it feels good to get this all out, i want to leave my family out of this, so i managed to keep the self-harm marks from them, and fake and smile every now and again. But i am just stuck in a life i cant change and cant get out of....help me.

Hi Josephine

What you are experiencing must be really scary for you. Poor you! You say you feel like maybe you would be better off dead and have thoughts of stabbing yourself which must be really awful for you. Having suicidal thoughts is terrifying and the feelings of despair you describe must leave you feeling shattered with worry.
It is very clear that you must be in a great deal of emotional pain to be self harming as a way of coping.
The strong part of you is doing a great job. I think you are fantastic for having the courage to come here and ask for support.

Id like to share some websites with you that i know are very suportive and understand both self harm and suicidal feelings, so you dont have to be worried about them over reacting to anything you say.

Have a look at Cybermentors.org.uk You can sign up for free and then chat to trained mentors your own age in a chatroom, about general worries, and, if you would like, you can ask for a qualified adult counsellor to message you. You can have a private chat (in a private chatroom) with the counsellor about your feelings and self harm. Its all free, totally confidential and is set up for people age 11- 18. There are also other people like yourself on there who you can have a laugh with and become friends with who understand : ) PS the general chatroom is moderated so any unsupportive idiots get booted : )

There is also Samaritans and Childline. They have really lovely counsellors who can be on team Josephine and help you talk through these feelings. Its all confidential and you dont have to tell your parents. And you dont have to be suicidal to call or email them. Just start off by saying something like "Im having a hard time...' and theyll help you from there.

Hope this is of some use.
And well done you for looking to get some support : )

Take care

Hi Josephine Jones, if you have a mobile/cell phone with the record voice facilities, use it, if you have not, get one or Dictaphone. Now- when you hear these voices, and you are on your own, keep quiet, and record the quietness. Then play what you recorded on and listen, preferably with your headphones on. If there ARE voices, then there is nothing wrong with you. If there is quietness, you better see the doctor. may be you have some unsolved problem in your life- better to solve it and your bad voices will lieve you alone.



Part of it sounds like you have a major depressive disorder. The voices sound slightly like schizophrenia, but you would need to have a professional diagnose that. I would strongly recommend getting professional help though.
