help

This is a bit long winded so I have put the lead-up in its own section that you can skip if you arent interested. ========================================================== I am living in a situation where I am under intense psychological pressure, not anything immediately traumatic but an...

I've been talking to a close friend of mine, B, about whether I should get help in a hospital of some sort for my depression or not. B says I should do what I think is best but, I'm not used to making decisions like that. The top things that keep preventing me from going forward with any of it...

Hello. I haven't tried writing a thread before so not sure if I'm doing it right, but I hope I'm expressing myself so that you can somehow understand what I mean. :) I've had negative emotions for many years, which have worked out fine, but I suppose the last couple of years have been quite...

So lately especially I've been taking extreme and quite sudden turns for the worst, lasting even just a day. And then the next day I'll be totally fine and positive. I've never been to see a professional about the way I behave... But I'm starting to believe there must be an explanation for the...

I'm living in Japan at the moment. I tried to commit suicide in late February <mod edit> Obviously, I failed. I'm 21 and a student and live alone. But I haven't talked about it to anyone. I told people not to visit me in hospital, or if they did come I told them I was in there for a different...

I'm only a 17 year old high schooler who turns 18 in 2 weeks. I'm not even in the real world yet and I can't take it. I have few friends and the ones I do are considered loosers at school along with me. We get made fun of for being "hipsters" and even the nerdy kids make fun of us. I have...

Hi. So I started going to my therapist again, and after telling her how I've been doing (usually happy but with these periods of time where I feel frightened/anxious/incredibly sad), she started me on 0.25 mg Risperdal. Now, at first, she didn't even want to tell me the name of the medicine, and...

I feel so lonely... no one seems to care about it, I feel like dying so often, I really want help. I feel like there's no reason for me to be anymore, and I'm just tired of keeping going by myself for myself, it's been 4 years I'm doing it and I feel so suicidal at times, I don't even know what...

I have been screaming in my head for 2 weeks, I cant take it anymore, at first hurting myself seemed to quiet it but its less and less effective and I cannot escalate much further without causing permanent damage which is counter productive. Does anyone know a way, preferably a...

I was close to my limit for quite some time and then a whole new pressure landed on my head and pushed me over it, now, even though the new pressure has gone away I still feel like I cant handle it anymore, I am screaming in my head all the time, every moment I am just waiting for the next one...

I am stuck living with someone so passively toxic that anyone he decides to be proper friends with ends up anxious, depressed or suicidal or in some cases, all 3. Now he doesnt realise he is doing this and due to what I can only figure is rather severe undiagnosed aspergers, explaining it...

So, I was getting better, I promise! I was actually being creative and attentive, and I tried to be fun too, but I guess it's too much. I don't know what exactly is wrong with me, but there clearly is, because I feel far too stupid to be even alive. But, the thing is, I am too scared or chicken...

It's been a while since I've been active on this site as I thought i was getting better. But I was wrong. Recently I've been upset and angry ALL the time. I've never wanted to eat, I've never been able to sleep (and when I do it's for about 5 minutes and usually about myself committing suicide)...
