    • Do you bros ever feel like this?

      Hiya all of you fellow bros!

      I am a pretty cheerful person who would do anything and everything for every person I meet if they needed help. I love people and I am there for those who need someone. People I meet describe me as "innocent," "naive," "optimistic," and the sort because I am pretty ditzy, I guess.

      However, I have been battling depression for years now and I started cutting last October or so. I have relapsed a few times and I find myself growing super sad and crying at night when I am about to go to sleep. My friends and mom found out about my cutting when I first started and freaked out to the point where I was treated like a five year old where I wasn't allowed to do anything without supervision. After a few months with me not cutting or voicing my sad thoughts to others, they calmed down and then allowed me to do things like before.

      However, since then, I have been super sad some of the times, but I don't want anyone to worry about me so I shut myself in my own thoughts and just cry when I am alone. I don't want anyone to feel worried or sad for me and I don't want to be a further burden. I feel like since I am the "happy, sweet girl" that everyone assumes is always okay, that I shouldn't ask for people to help me. I want to tell my best friend so bad that I just want a hug but I just go through night after night without saying anything and acting okay in the morning, greeting everyone with a big smile but with tired, sad eyes.

      I don't really know what I am asking, but I just wanted to talk. I feel kind of alone, like I am not able to talk to anyone in my real life because I am selfish and attention seeking.

      I hope you all don't think I am an awful person, but I just wanted to talk.

      I hope on the happy side that all is well. If you ever need anyone to talk to, feel free to chat if you have any problems. I know what it is like to need someone there but you are too scared to ask for help haha.

      I love you all!

    • Many people may feel like this when they're beeing sad for most of their life. I think you should find someone to talk with, someone who helps you with your problems, who tells you something nice when you are sad, someone you can trust :) I had a depression but when i found a person that I'm described few words ago it's gone ;) So I hope you find someone to talk about your problems, who understands your situation soon ;) Good luck! There's a lot of people on internet to talk :)

    • On a more serious note :
      Cutting doesn't solve anything. It only puts you even in a bigger loop as you not only harm yourself physically with it, but also mentally which makes you even feel more sad (although it might relieve you for a moment). I would suggest seeking help regarding medicines or even therapy. I know this might sound quite harsh, but I have been there before, minus the cutting and it helped quite well.



    • Hey so id like you to know that if you feel like talking, im here too. Id also like to address that cutting really doesn't help with anything, like at all. Just ask yourself why you're doing it, and if it happens to be anything other than 'other people do it in my case so why not', its probably cause you feel like hurting yourself with distract you from the pain you mentally feel. My advice is to not over think and try to find someone with similar interests. Then you can geek out and laugh or cry together as a distraction. Hope this was useful ;)

    • Everyone's right, and I really encourage you to talk to someone, your friend for example. You shouldn't feel guilty at all, the people around you just want you to be happy. Unless you tell them, they can't help you and if they find out in another way, they may even blame themselves for not noticing. So let it all out, and I promise you'll feel much better! :) ♥

    • Only the ignorant will judge you for your actions. In truth you're the one who needs help and should be helped
      Don't hesitate to ask for anyone's help.
      Try hugging your parents about it.
