Suicide Attempts
i cut myself. i havent been drunk in for ever but i really really need to be. i havent popped pills in i dont know how long. but i want them so bad. i feel fine when im happy but thats almost never know. people keep bringing me down. it felt like i stepped off the edge and was just floating there with no place to go. i tried to hang myself. but it didnt work. my 12 year old brother was in the next room. i dont think i can make it.

You are doing the right thing by reaching out to us.  Suicide is never the answer.  The fact that you made a gesture to hang yourself is a great concern.  You are so young with so much life ahead of you, and suicide is a very permanent solution.  When you are never feeling happy and feel like there is no place to go, it is hard to believe that these feelings will not always be there, but they will not.  There are people who care.  Your brother would be devastated if he lost you.

When you cut, drink, or take pills you might feel better for a while, but that feeling is only temporary.  You can learn other coping skills that will help you feel better but will not harm you.  Consider working with a professional or calling our hotline for some local resources.  Tell a trusted adult that you know right away about your suicide attempt and your current thoughts.  Please reach out to us before you would ever attempt to harm yourself again.  Keep safe tonight.

Sincerely,

Laura - Crisis Counselor
