Response to question 1: "Well some because they are bullied through out their lifes, in my case I wasn't bullied but I considered suicide because of what I was going through... I didn't know how to handle it anymore. I was...

Name: Annabelle, Age: 23-24, Suffered from severe depression and attempted suicide. Response to question 1: "I guess suicide is that person's last response to increasing amounts of stress and anxiety. For me it was the belief that there was no other option than to end it. At that point it's...

Name: Chris, Age: 18-19, Friend Attempted Suicide Response to question 1: "I think it has many factors, but the big one is not having strong, supportive, and intimate relationships in one's life. One of my friends attempted, and he said he felt worthless. So what's going through their minds is a...

Name: Elizabeth, Age: 19-20, Close Relationship to a Recent Suicide Victim. Response to question 1: "believe that the reason why people commit suicide is because they are searching for something, some kind of answer that will make their internal struggles come to an end. I have asked myself...

Okay guys, so far I've only been given thumbs up on posting the responses to my survey online. I'm going to create a post for each individual's response to my questions and post it to this thread. I'll give them a fake name, put their age, sex, and their relationship to the topic. Please...

I know, I'm not mad at her because she really doesn't know what's going on since I don't really leave many strong hints about what's going on inside. I just should have been stringer on saying no about today. It's been a disaster so far especially since people are still asking on why I'm not in...

So i basically don't function well beyond work. At work, I'm one of the best employees and am always incredibly courteous to customers. I transform into a happy social butterfly. But after work, I struggle to do simple tasks. I've been struggling with eating well because making breakfast feels...

@sun seeker I believe it would be great to have the opinion of everyone on the forum who have some experience with this topic to compare to those who don't have experience with the topic. As @Solara said, we could treat it as if we are debating people who we don't even know.

My only issue is; it's difficult finding people to ask and I really want responses from a diverse age range with diverse experiences. So, maybe some of you would be wiling to ask others and post their responses onto the forum I open up. They don't have to be too long. You could just say you're...

Thanks for all of the replies :) so I'm going to wait for a few more interviews before I post anything (so maybe late tomorrow).

Alright, I need to know what you guys think (and moderators, if I put this post in the wrong forum then please feel free to move me :) ) So I went to my first appointment with my therapist (which went great by the way) and she encouraged me to take up a project for myself since I'm currently not...

@Jane.l I don't know if I would recommend contact. I have a lot of experience with my own father who was verbally abusive and just the slightest contact at the explosive phase would just hand them am excuse to violently blow up again. I completely feel for you as this truly is such a tense...

I haven't improved much since I've come home. I have these days though where everything is so fantastic that I question if this whole depression isn't just in my head, but then something triggers me and I fall further down the rabbit hole. Yesterday was one of those days and it was going...

It's getting harder, everything is getting harder. Every morning I try to get myself out of bed at 7:30 to do something meaningful with the day, but I never hear the alarm or I just fall back asleep. When I eventually wake up I normally just stare at the walls for another hour and force myself...

Thank you guys for reading and responding, it really meant a lot :) @Eleanor I do have a good therapist here, but Ive yet to schedule an appointment. I know I need to, but sometimes I feel like I'm just a great big nuisance, especially these past two days. But it's better right now. Right now...

I feel weird commenting on my own post, but this just feels like a journal to me and it's such a relief to get my emotions down. I'm trying not to let any of this hurt me. Who even needs such a jerk of a "friend" so why should I let it hurt me? But, it does. All of this does and my heart is...

Well, I left college. I withdrew, and it was kind of a mess with dealing with the college staff and my pastor back at home. They kept pressuring me to stay and I had to deal with so many phone calls each day from people trying to "encourage" me. Ugh, finally I had to just stop answering and go...

Thank you everyone for taking the time to respond :) words can't explain how helpful you all have been. @BloomInWinter the school actually doesn't provide me with insurance and there are no school counselors here. Only pastors and I've had such a bad experience speaking with pastors about my...

@scout86 home isn't exactly the best of places. My mom is loving, but I haven't told her about the depression because I know it would kill her to hear that. She's not the strongest and I've found that I've had to take care of her more than myself in several instances (especially this past year...

And I'm not actually getting any help at all in the present. I don't have insurance in the state I'm in right now so I can't go to the doctor for meds (I'm not too big of a fan of anti depressants either) and I can't get a therapist because it's pretty frowned upon here. Of course I could talk...

I'm pretty concerned about my depression considering I've seen It progressively worsen in the past year. I hate the idea of leaving so early in a semester because I feel like it could possibly prevent few scholarships or being accepted into colleges in the future.

I'm so sorry for the confusion everyone. I put it under depression and suicidal ideation, only because I've been going through some pretty severe depression for awhile now so sorry for the misunderstanding and shortened title. Honestly, I didn't mean for the confusion. @Ghostybear73 I actually...

So right now I'm a freshman in a very strict and conservative bible college. I just got out of an extremely manipulating and controlling relationship with my dad so it's rather stressful being moved to another controlling situation, albeit in a different manner. I've been under huge amounts of...

Hi, so I actually joined a similar forum to this a few months ago called Mysexualabuse but it looks like it was moved to this. So I'm actually gonna try shortening the story. As a kid I had a really good relationship with my dad and we were really close, but then things happened and he changed a...
