If your dad and brother beat you, call the police. Or tell the school. Ignore them if they say they'll catch you. If you take the right steps, they won't. The police can find you a foster home. Trust me.

i am cutting,starving myself and really depressed lately..im really popular at school,but i guess for all the wrong reasons..im like a skank/slut..im in eigth grade now..it pretty much sucks,cause im like a loner,cause my mates were all one year older than me..and i cut cause my parents,theyre pathetic,i want to date and have a social life but no..and my dad and big brother beat me up all the time,i have heaps of bruises to prove it..yeah and stuff like that..

It's an illness. You don't understand it because you can't and could never see it from that point of view. Some people's personalities are almost prone to getting these diseases, and sufferring with them is horrible. It's your growing up hormones, it's not because of music or Paris Hilton at all, these are just trigers, its something thats already there.

They are all ways to deal with the chemical imbalances in our brains as we grow up, its confusing and so, like when we have been hurt our body will heal, you dont think about it you just do, when the chemicals are imbalanced you do think about how the balance returns. And doing certain things seemingly aids this, usually short term, and long term it wont help, but if you get help it will likely go away. Go and talk to a proffessional, don't keep secrets, it may take time and you may need to take medication but embrace your bodies changes and understand that many people go through what you are going through every day and you aren't alone.

i used to self harm, i had this thing that if you made blood than pain would leave you, it seems so stupid now, but at the time it made sense.

Cutting and suicde are not always linked, You can cut everyday and never think of death. Yet you can be suicidal and grab a rope. It is not an addiction yet a state of mind some cut cause they think there fat and others cause of abuse no matter the reason, it is hard to just stop. I am 17 and have been a self harmer for almost 9 years. I am wanting to let people know it will get better and if anyone is stuck on coping skill or just needs to vent my eyes are always open to read and try to help.
As far as eating disordes I am not to fimiliar with things to say yet am still here to help in any way I can. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia 4 years ago and have depression. I enjoy talking with other people and dont mean to come off intimidating. Please Take Care Evertone and be safe we are all amazing just for living.

Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...

That suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

The game of life is hard to play
I'm going to lose it anyway
the losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say

That suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

The only way to win is cheat
and lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat

That suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

The sword of time will pierce our skins
it doesn't hurt when it begins
but as it works its way on in
the pain grows stronger...watch it grin but...

That suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
is it to be or not to be
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please

...and you can do the same thing if you please.

from Dam457 I really dont do any of these things and I'm not planning on doing any. I just wanted to know how do you feel as your burning yourself of cutting your self doesn't it hurtm or are you zoned out while your doing this.

I have depression and I feel like committing suicide all the time but I don't. It's not that serious with me though...but it feels good to know that I'm not the only one!

I haven't suffered any of these things but have felt the pain it can cause a loved one. My friend for many years has a continually escalating fight with all of these things. She loses an average of 5 pounds a week, has gashes along her sides and legs, and is taking medication for her depression. I try to comfort her worries or troubles, but whenever I try to help, she just pushes away. She thinks everything is her fault and that no one likes her. She has so much to live for, but I guess she just has to much to handle. A minute doesn't pass when I am not worrying about if she is still alive.
I want and need to help

i don't have any of these problems.
but one of my best friends does.
she cuts, takes medication for depression, and has to be monitored for her anorexia. She has attempted suicide multiple times and i believe she may also have bi-polar disorder. My friend and I are always trying to find ways to help, but there never seems to be and option we have tried that works. She cuts not only her wrists, but her sides and her upper leg. She always thinks anything wrong in the world is a result of something has done, or didn't do. She seems sweet enough, a member of the school band, and artist, a active member in many other clubs... but she has underlying problems that she doesn't believe can be resolved. i cry myself to sleep sometimes after she has had a bad episode, because i don't know if i will see her at school the next day. i am so scared for her.
I want to help. I NEED to help. advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you. :/

my name is melissa. i'm 14 and have been cutting since i was nine my friends and most of my family have done drugs and many are still doing it. i've tried to quit but i'm caught up in it as though it were a drug. i go to CA meetings but it doesn't help i'm also extremly suicidal i don't want to be but i can't stop if anyone see this please tell me how i can stop.thx

i cut. ive tryed to kill myself too many times... and as for eating disorders i go back and forth between compulsive eating and anarexia. im not the kind of person that most would think would have these problems either. other then if you know my past you would think maybe but you would never see the signs. because ive hid them for too long. its horrible and although i stopped cutting for 5 months i did it again and well working on quiting again. so yeah i relate to you

hey.... no i dont have any kinds of these problems. i just want to help. i cant say i know how you feel and what your going through but all i can do and say is cutting doesnt make your problems go away all your doing is hurting yourself. Im cristian so suicide is way out of line. If your depressed i think you need to talk with someone. Lastly, eating disorders... i think you should be in shape. you think vomiting and not eating is healthy because your staying thin. Well its not i know lots of people that died because of these things. well take care!

Speak for yourself.

There's always another solution
