Hey guys :) sorry if this is depressing, but I wanted to get this word out in the open somewhere. Tonight I was looking at the almost always wonderful internet and came across these pictures that talked about some band members from a few of my favorite bands. Beneath them said something that they were struggling with or used to go through. One of my heroes and favorite lead singers from a band said he used to self harm. This completely broke my heart, because he seemed so happy and care free.... But I guess he wasn't always. So this image is very true, that people wear a mask, and aren't showing how they really feel. I apologize for the long comment :) if anybody feels like this and wants to talk. please comment here, or on any other pictures I have posted. Thanks for reading :)
I wasn't depressed by this. Just know what it is like to have to put on a fake smile so you don't seem suicidal and then to feel more suicidal because you're putting on a fake smile all the damn time. Thankfully, this is no longer the case. I'm glad you posted this. People need to see this for two reasons.
1) They need to know they're not alone
and
2) Others need to know people are suffering like this.
Please don't, guest. I know I don't know you, but I do know a lot of people who have been through this, and when they don't kill themselves, things always get better. I know several people who have attempted, and after that, all of them regretted it. They were so happy they were saved. More than you know, people will miss you.
One of my firends suffers from anorexia and depression, but when you see her, you would never think that all she wants is to disappear. We have talked about it many times and when she tells me how she feels, it breaks my heart. What I'm trying to say is that many people seem so happy, probably becuase that's what they want you to think, but these people are the ones who want to be saved. Many teachers don't believe what she has, even though she has been diagnosed by a psychiatrist, just because she is always smiling and seems so happy. I didn't even notice before her mum told me. There's many people out there who are suffering and we keep judging them without knowing anything. (Sorry if you didn't understand something, I'm from Spain, I did my best, feel free to correct me).
"The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not want people to suffer the way they do."
this is so true. i know what it's like to have everyone think that you're happy and have the perfect life but on the inside you feel like you're drowning. i wish people were much more aware of this.
Here's a sad story, I know this girl, I met her at a music camp, she seemed happy and nice and never frowns, as I became good friends with her, I found out that her 2 moms abuse her, she takes depression pills. I also fpund out she has ran away from her home multiple times, and slept on the rrof of her school, she also cut her throught with her nail, held a knife up to her neck, and threatened to kill herself many times. Just last week I didn't hear from her for a week, Untill she texted me that she was in a mental hospital because she overdosed on depression pills... She thanked me for helping her through it all, and claimed it was finally over:D but as time went by she continued harming herself, and haven't stopped to this day. The worst part is that she is only twelve;(
I self harmed when I was 11. Then I stopped a while then started again in 6th. I got caught in 7th. And now I'm almost a year clean. Tell her, no matter how stupid it sounds it will get better. Tell her shes a soldier and if she says soldiers have scars, tell her not all of them have to show up on her skin. Tell her that soldiers can hold scars on their heart not their skin. Tell her, she's not alone. It's not much but coming from someone whose been through it, it's a lot
I've never wanted to kill myself but I have had problems. I had what seemed like an eating disorder, but it's on and off every few months until something triggers me (not anorexia, it's called BED). My parents don't really believe there's anything wrong with me. I've tried to throw up, kept myself from eating, binged, fantasized about cutting myself but never tried. I'm hoping that when I start highschool it won't stress me out too much because that makes it worse. I also have weird tics like picking at my skin (until it bleeds) and pulling my hair. I'm a mess.
