use my motto Fudge it, who cares. stop worrying about everything, just do whatever. as soon as you let go of all the crap in life you feel so much better. just do what you have to to get by. i used to do things to myself because i felt bad, but then i just quit because i stopped giving a crap
i have the same problem. just relax and pick out the good things in your life. hope this is useful :)
Are you Emo?

I have a lot of Emo friends and have saved like 3 of my friends lives by just talking to them.

Find a friend and talk to them. They help.
See a mental health professional. They help.
i did talk about it with a close friend of mine. but she just said 'oh...'
then she tried to change the topic.
Geez - go get help, see your Dr.
ive felt like this many times but dont cut myself. i just take out my anger on something in my case i play sports
Then your friend isn't really a good friend. Instead of turning to your friends. Look to more closer people like your family. And if this doesn't work, go seek help from a counselor.
Just don't kill yourself...Please..
Listen to PureKorean. That's exactly what I was going to say.

I struggle with cutting/depression as well. I have friends who also struggle with the same problem and we do our best to help each other out without making each other relapse. The best thing you can have right now is a real friend, that will talk, and understand...AND some form of counselor. They help. And if they don't help...keep trying counselors until you find the right one.

Don't kill yourself. Please.
you don't know me and yet you're asking me not to kill myself. why?
I had like a year of hard-core cutting and it only got worse. The reason I started is still unresolved too, so I still struggle a lot. I stopped when my family got involved and everyone I knew got afraid for me. It's been six years and I never went to a counselor, never even really told anyone the reason I started. Eventually you figure out what is getting you so down, and change it, live with it, or die. If it comes to the point where you don't want others to save you, your truly ready for suicide. One thing that emo kids don't realize is when your really knocking on heavens door, it's because that's what you want, and nothing is going to stop you, nor will you have a problem with it. I guess I'm still alive because I realized I like being low, I like being depressed and I find reasons to stay that way. I'm not saying that's why you do it, everyone has their own story. You have to figure this out though, no one else is going to be able to. All the help in the world won't help you overcome yourself.
this is not normal but very common with teenagers who don't really know what to do with their lives :/ try meeting some new people and just talk to them it will make you feel much better but, make good friends if possible. I know some people lack social skills and what not making this seem quite hard but give it a try, loose some of the shyness and just go crazy ... well, not to crazy. try to think why you feel depressed and ask yourself what you life would be like if you didn't feel that way.
