I attempted to hang myself 6 years ago, when I was 16. I had just been released from an impatient mental hospital and I was feeling really low because despite being hospitalized, my depression wasn’t any better. I really did want to die, but I think that I also kind of wanted attention. I figured that if I failed then worst case scenario, people would understand that I wasn’t better. I felt so much pressure with school work, making friends, boy drama, etc. that it just seemed easier to disappear. I passed out when I hung myself and tbh I saw some really dark shit. I woke up on the floor alive and guess what? I still wanted to die. It was weird because in movies people kind of find this new realization when they survive a suicide attempt, but I felt empty. So no I didn’t do it for attention, but I think the attention it gave me helped me eventually recover. I don’t think my family realized how bad my depression had gotten until then. I do really regret it though, it fucked up my throat and I saw some really scary visions and figures. It was in my shed and I honestly can’t even go in there anymore.
How do you feel about suicide?
I am against #Bullies..Depression is a real thing and we need to talk about it and understand why it happens. We shouldn’t judge someone even if they are attention seekers,, it shows deep down how they feel! We are so fucking careless as people that we don’t even think about how we say things!! I want each and everyone of you reading this to do 10 nice things for someone that you don’t know,, I want you guys to not view people as a stranger but as someone who is a human being,, who most likely has gone through hell . Imagine what it would be like if you didn’t wake up yesterday or today and how it would make your loved ones feel. They would most likely feel hopeless and devastated:(( Now try to put your shoes in someone who deals with depression and just took so much heartbreak and can’t take it anymore because if someone is getting bullied everyday and wants to end it...can you really blame them?! This world is shit and can Be horrible sometimes so we need to stand up as a community and help others and help them understand that they are not alone and they will not stand alone in whatever they are going through because you NEVER know what people go through until you deal with the same thing!!
I love you all and hope you all get something from this or is inspired to do something:)))

You seem so fucking strong to go through all of that especially when you’re 16. I’m so glad you’re still with us and breathing at least,, just next time that you go through that just remember others might have gone or going through the same things..just know your not alone and that you never will be! I’m glad a lot of ppl are commenting and expressing themselves because they weren’t given a chance to explain why they felt that way. If it was for attention, it still shouldn’t matter! You felt lost and scared and you had depression, to other people they should have comforted you and saw that you were just in pain and needed someone. It’s okay to feel sad and want attention..I think everyone needs attention every once in a while,,your not the only one:) I hope you know that we as a community love you because you were able to sit down and tell us this amazing and strong story!! 💚
I have attempted three times. I have been told I’ve done it for attention and while I’ve done a lot of things for attention, these instances are not included in that. Two out of my three attempts were spontaneous and out of impulse. I have dealt with depression since I was a toddler.

I care about you because you’re human. I won’t judge you because of what you’ve been through and I want people to be nice to each other and care about what people have to say:)

I want you to know that you aren’t alone. That people can relate to you and some can even understand how you feel..but when you don’t express yourself it’s hard to understand where you’re coming from:)) I hope you are in a better mind state than when you tried to commit suicide and I hope you linger a little longer just to meet and thrive with others that you didn’t even know were possible to meet

Coming here to talk about it is extremely important, I don’t want anyone to feel like they can’t talk to anyone about how they’re feeling. The point of me being in this community is not just for my own reasons. I want to help people because amazing people like YOU give me inspiration and I’m only 13 but I am so wise for my age and I feel people are so mute to their feelings and they don’t let them out because they’re afraid of judgement
I od on pills and went to the hospital, then my family locked up medicine cabinets (which I can understand) but my step mum said it was to keep me safe just in case I get suddenly a little sad. Like wtf I had depression for ages I wasn't just a little sad!

☺️☺️👏..It’s good that you dealt with your depression, they should have at least understood that you were depressed and not used “just a little sad” like depression is so much bigger than just a little. But I’m glad you shared your story!
