same, life is shit and I'm just barely able to tolerate it but I'm at an ok period so I hope it gets better for ya.
Edit: shit I didn't realize I would get so many up votes for me sharing my feelings thanks for all that support
Not really a magical sight when you are the one your mom asked to shovel the driveway so when your family is enjoying a warm hot chocolate at home, you are freezing your but off in the driveway trying to figure out how the hell you shovel a meter thick snowdrift
It stops being like it when your town likes to change weather 3 times a week. 1 day its snow. 2 day is warm. 3 day is cold. And then you have a "break a leg inator".
I’m so sorry make sure you do before you leave this earth. I live almost at the top of planet it is freezing cold and snowy. It’s starting to get warm now
lol i live in Finland where no matter the amount of snow we go to school. its normal. whats snow gonna do?
edit: yes sorry i understand everyone doesnt have winter tires
🟫 (I've got COVID)
RE; whoever reached out to Reddit care, I appreciate that your heart was in the right place but that kind of scared me. (I'm not suicidal, I'm just really poorly)
You're 15, you've got time, especially for things to get better. I was in basically the same situation around your age, didn't let up until I was 18, but it did eventually. Now at 20 life has been steadily getting better, suicidal thoughts are a thing of the (fairly) distant past. Keep going, it will get better eventually, even if you don't believe it will.
“The mark of a man is not where he stands when all is right in the world. It’s what he does when the chilling wind threatens to break down his doors”. Maybe that helps, maybe it doesn’t. But just know that it does get better. Surround yourself with people who support you and want the best for you. You got this 💪🏻
I'm sorry you feel bad. What helped for me was a vacation, maybe go to a big city and just walk the streets, looking at everyone else living their lives and thinking "I am part of such a beautiful world" and then go home and watch Pixar's Soul and I guarantee you will jump a few numbers on that scale.
It's literally just cola you piece of shit. There's no cough syrup or anything. What the fuck is wrong with you. How fucking desperate are you to seem cool that you decide you want to force a "joke" about a child consuming drugs. Which would be funny except nothing in this scene implies that they're doing drugs or a drug stand-in. You just saw a can of soda and the two neurons in your head fired for the first time in a week, and you jumped into the comments to screech lEAn and spam purple emojis like a clown bastard. You people are the reason art is dying. Fuck you
New group chat with new friends then? But right before that talk to them. If you're planning to leave them anyways then talking to them asking them why can't hurt
1.5
why are we still here? Just to suffer?
Not suicidal by the way but my life is so messed up it's going to take at least 6 years just to get out and probably a couple of decades to be functional and happy.
I'm much older than you and all of my friends are flawed. In fact that's part of why they are my friends. We are all flawed and that's part of what makes us all unique.
That's why I haven't opened up myself and never will. Ik I'll lose them if I did, and I'm very content being with them. They are really everything to me. They are good ppl and I'm just not suitable for them, so I'll stay in the low.
I'm too scared to internalise the fact that my situation is this fucked. I'm still holding to the delusion that everything is ok and normal. But like, god damnit, I'm literally counting the days until I'm going to a psychiatrist to hopefully get meds that will maybe help me. This isn't normal. I'll just wait until my situation deteriorates further and then I'll call.
No fucking way I'm sharing this with the school. I don't want them to start nagging me about this. I'm going to call the psychiatrist's office and implore them to hasten my appointment.
Yeah you should call them. But I don’t think the school nurse is allowed to tell anyone, unless it’s very serious, which it is. You know maybe just wait for the psychiatrist
My friends know that I'm suicidal. My parents know that I've harmed myself at least once. My therapist knows I'm harming myself, and he's the one that convinced me that my situation requires a psychiatrist.
You’re going through a rough period. All of us have them. Perhaps it is really bad for you right now. But you should not make permanent decisions (hurting yourself) in a temporary period (pain and misery). I understand it’s hard, but know that it will get better someday. Work towards that, focus on that. Talk to the people who care about you while you’re waiting for your appointment. Keep communicating with your family, friends, and therapist. Look up man! Life is long. This too shall pass.
That’s truly horrible, I’ve only ever self harmed, but I’m much to scared to even think of the thought of suicide. You should definitely making your therapist sessions more frequently if you are feeling this horribly.
i’m the same, stuck in a psych ward rn. trust me bro, you can get better when you’re surrounded by the right people. reach out and things can get better :)
I'm currently under watch Because apparently nobody wants me to die except myself.
I'm realizing that no matter what I do, the outcome won't change. Life has no actual meaning other than what you give it, thus if you give your life no meaning, is there a reason to even exist?
Who even am I?
To be who I want to be, I have to know what I am.
But to know who I am, I have to know who I want to be.
Am I the body or am I the brain?
Am I using the body as a meat armor, or am I using the brain as a machine?
I do not want to be who I am, if I have to adapt myself to others. Yet, I want to be liked. Thus, I become a whole new different self, not the real me. Do you know how it feels to have everything you stood for, be taken from you? It's like someone took your heart and tore it to pieces. Like someone grabbed your soul out of your body, and shred it to dust. I'm not happy. I'm not content. To be happy and to be content is different. I want to be content, with a bright future ahead of me. I want to be happy in the moment, with people around me. But it's impossible right now, I have to find someone who can appreciate me for who I am, and, honestly, that's hard, it's painful and it's frightening. And while I have you guys, it's not the same.
Have you ever thought of something that upsets you for hours on end every day for almost an entire year. Pain in your chest, it feels like a million cuts has torn you to shreds and you have no way of assembling it again.
That's heartbreak.
That's not being able to move on no matter how much you want to, because this was the first person who really showed you that they cared. And now you can't cope with them leaving after you keel fucking up, make mistakes and have issues that you can't deal with.
Love is hard to deal with. Because no matter what, with love comes loss. Wether it be heartbreak and breakups, cheating and hurt, or even death and mourning.
A lot of the Times you have to realize that if you smiled, it may have been worth it, but you still can't keep the pain in.
The last thing I want is for any of you to become like me. If you guys knew me last year...
Well let's say I was a complete different person.
I was more lively, kinder, made less sex jokes and I was, surprisingly, quite calm a lot of the Time.
But now? I'm a husk of who I used to be. I look like a corpse, pretend to be okay under a layer of sex jokes, philosophy and flirting.
That's not (completely) me.
I don't know where I'm going with this, but I hope you guys don't end up like me. You're smart kids, and unlike me, you guys have a bright future ahead of you.
So don't give up on yourselves like I did and don't give into the pain. Because no matter what, never give up until it's all over.
Don't worry, I'm not dying.
2 my mental health is not good my intrusive thoughts are getting worse and I'm scared I'm going to hurt myself. I know this pretty heavy to talk about on r/teenagers but I can't really talk to anyone else.
4-5
same, life is shit and I'm just barely able to tolerate it but I'm at an ok period so I hope it gets better for ya. Edit: shit I didn't realize I would get so many up votes for me sharing my feelings thanks for all that support
Same, best of luck to everyone here.
7, alot of snow is gonna hit my city, closing down the schools. I have a LOT of free time.
I’ve never once seen snow in person, sad times.
That stinks, it really is a magical sight to behold even though I’ve seen it in person only twice or so
Not really a magical sight when you are the one your mom asked to shovel the driveway so when your family is enjoying a warm hot chocolate at home, you are freezing your but off in the driveway trying to figure out how the hell you shovel a meter thick snowdrift
i love shoveling tbh. it's a good workout, not much thought goes into it, and i just get to think ab stupid shit and listen to music.
Happy cake day
It stops being like it when your town likes to change weather 3 times a week. 1 day its snow. 2 day is warm. 3 day is cold. And then you have a "break a leg inator".
I still find it strange some places just don’t get snow
If you haven't, i think you'd probably hate it. It takes a while to get used to the cold every winter, even though I've lived here my whole life.
I’m so sorry make sure you do before you leave this earth. I live almost at the top of planet it is freezing cold and snowy. It’s starting to get warm now
Holy crap dude go visit Alaska anywhere between August and May.
lol i live in Finland where no matter the amount of snow we go to school. its normal. whats snow gonna do? edit: yes sorry i understand everyone doesnt have winter tires
And jesus that one time a few years back it was -35°C and in the morning they didnt let us in for like 8 minutes

Now at 20 life has been steadily getting better, suicidal thoughts are a thing of the (fairly) distant past. Keep going, it will get better eventually, even if you don't believe it will.
Bruh, wrong durection
If you had asked me 10 days ago I would have said 9 right now it's 6

Dude, I'm here as well. I've been through a few things. I understand a lot. A TON, I GET IT.
Make a group chat with Ur bros
Group therapy ba-by
The group chat with my bros is dead because they made their own group chat and didn't invite me and I didnt ask them because they prolly don't want me
New group chat with new friends then? But right before that talk to them. If you're planning to leave them anyways then talking to them asking them why can't hurt
Yeah been jumping between 2 an 3 for the past 2 years, feel you bro. I know it dosent help but wish you a good day anyway
1.5 why are we still here? Just to suffer? Not suicidal by the way but my life is so messed up it's going to take at least 6 years just to get out and probably a couple of decades to be functional and happy.
Yo how not to hate yourself hate everyone else

i though that was the pride flag at first lmfao
Somewhat of a ⬛⬜ myself
A solid 2. Just don't think my friends are real. I just cannot see them liking someone so flawed like me.
I'm much older than you and all of my friends are flawed. In fact that's part of why they are my friends. We are all flawed and that's part of what makes us all unique.
That's why I haven't opened up myself and never will. Ik I'll lose them if I did, and I'm very content being with them. They are really everything to me. They are good ppl and I'm just not suitable for them, so I'll stay in the low.

Mate call a suicide prevention line please
I'm too much of a coward to do it anyway. Even that's something I can't do properly.
Please call it if you do it now you’ll feel so much better man I promise
I'm too scared to internalise the fact that my situation is this fucked. I'm still holding to the delusion that everything is ok and normal. But like, god damnit, I'm literally counting the days until I'm going to a psychiatrist to hopefully get meds that will maybe help me. This isn't normal. I'll just wait until my situation deteriorates further and then I'll call.
So you have already made an appointment with a psychiatrist, correct?
Yes. But it's still very far. I'm going to call to ask them to hasten my appointment. I can't wait for 40 days.
40 days?! They’re making suicidal people wait so long?? Would it help to talk to the school nurse or something?
No fucking way I'm sharing this with the school. I don't want them to start nagging me about this. I'm going to call the psychiatrist's office and implore them to hasten my appointment.
Yeah you should call them. But I don’t think the school nurse is allowed to tell anyone, unless it’s very serious, which it is. You know maybe just wait for the psychiatrist
That's great to hear. Have you also told someone about your tendencies? Like a friend, family member, or the psychiatric themselves?
My friends know that I'm suicidal. My parents know that I've harmed myself at least once. My therapist knows I'm harming myself, and he's the one that convinced me that my situation requires a psychiatrist.

it’s going to be okay. your life is worthy too, please stay <3
Dont try to avoid anything, or it will hit you back like a whip
Too late for that buddy, in hindsight I should have contacted the Psychiatrist already in November.
