Stay Strong

And I've been friends with those people since pre-school and some even before that! I've been best friends with these people all my life and not even half a year after I tell two of them that I cut they draw a line between us and completely cut me of the picture. Not only do they have to do that but then on top of it they have to tell other people what I do and talk about what an emo bitch I am.

That isn’t fair at all. If they were true friends, they would help you through it. Not judge you. I don’t think you should trust them anymore. Ask them why they do that, confront them straight up. If they appologize, then so be it. But if they don’t, and just act like bitches again, move on… find new friends. It’s their loss!

Good luck & Stay strong!

hey a really close friend of mine has just lost her mum and i know i cant make her feel better, but i want to help her and let her know i care, but i dont know how. ive text her and ive messaged her, but she has said shes not replying im just really worried about her and i dont know what to do. and it doesnt help she lives 200 miles away from me.

You can try calling her. If not, there’s not much else you can do. Just text her and say something like “Im here for you, just talk to me when you’re ready” or something like that. Losing a loved one, especially a parent, would be really hard— I know i deal with things by shutting people out. She might be like me, trying to grieve. But i’m not sure. Just call her or shoot her a text :) Good luck! Stay strong!

I just don't understand her... she has my heart and I can treat her so much better than her ex... she's so sprung over him... I don't know what to do anymore... I'm so alone and frighten and depressed... help me?

Heyo! I realize that I’m probably walking into something that you were working on with another admin, but here I am to offer my two cents!

Firstly, be careful with that heart of yours. I assume you know what you’re doing more than I know what you’re going through. Secondly, don’t sweat it too much. Take a few deep breaths, and know that we’re only human. Don’t freak, don’t give up. You can make it through another day. I promise. <3

Girls tend to get caught up on exes. I just recently got over my first boyfriend ever because he was an aaaass holeeeee~! I didn’t know what to do because I found out that he lied to me and cheated much, much more than I thought. But I don’t worry too much about it, because it’s his issue, not mine.

I only was caught up for so long because I thought that the problem was me. The problem wasn’t me, it was both of us. We weren’t made for each other, nobody is. But if you find somebody you love, don’t change yourself unless you’re sure that they’re willing to change for you, too. You can’t put yourself out on a limb for somebody who you’re not certain will do the same for you. *flashbacks to Bruno Mars song?*

*ahem*

Let’s look at this “alone, frightened, depressed” bit here. I understand entirely how it feels, sweetheart. Going to school without having taken my meds is like walking into a hurricane with only a stick and a small pug named Alfred. I feel like I’m alone, frightened, and depressed. The depression bit usually doesn’t come in too quickly, but the anxiety bit does. People can’t always help their anxiety, and it’s a reeeeal bitch. Feeling like I want to run away but don’t know where to go? Nothankyou, I’d rather feel normal. But that’s not always an option.

I’m an anime fan, so I like to imagine it like an inner battle: I can grab that Anxiety bitch by the balls and show it who’s boss, or I can just kind of huddle up and let it destroy me from the inside until even Alfred gives up on me. But I’d rather take dominance over the anxiety and cuddle Alfred all day. By the way, I don’t really have a pug named Alfred. But now I want one.

As my last bit of advice, get a hula hoop, hold it around your waist, and then drop it on the ground. Everything outside of that hoop? It’s out of your control. That’s nothing to panic about. In fact, it takes a lot off the list “Things I Should Blame Myself For.”

You just gotta hang tight, and see how events unfold. Take a few deep breaths, and know that you are going to be okay. Things are hard, but it could be so much worse, trust me.

Stay strong!

I just don't understand! I love my best friend so much but I just can't tell her how I really feel. I really wanna be with her but her heart is with this one guy she loves. He really cares about her, but I really wanna show her I'm better. Help me?

Wed, 15 May 2013 17:10:32 +0100

if her hearts belong to another guy than respect that you don’t want to get her frustrated bc some girls can get mad easily. Drop hints, but don’t push it too far. Try to show her how you feel w/o being clingy or boyfriend position. Just be a best friend and let her heart go where it belongs. -Yas

There is this girl I like, but I'm really shy to ask her out. What do I do?

Wed, 15 May 2013 16:26:54 +0100

I used to be like that! And then I told him, and he liked me back! We’ve both liked each other for two years and this could have happened years ago.

I know this is only one version or events, and there’s another which I can’t tell you about, but I guess what I’m trying to say is that you won’t know unless you try!!

I never knew that he liked me until I told him!
You’ll never know if she likes you until you tell her!!

You can’t lose something you never had!! And okay, she might not like you back, but what if she does??

What if???

I have honestly never been happier than I have been right now!! :D

I'm about to relapse so bad please help me!

Tue, 14 May 2013 08:33:13 +0100

Don’t do it sweetheart!. just think about how far you gotten and how good it would feel to say you didn’t do anything the next morning. I’ll understand if you relapsed sweetie bc it happen to me…but remember if it happens you are still strong, and fight thing. keep your head up high and stay strong love -Yas

This is Faith’s friend Brittney. Faith’s internet will be out for a while and...

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:38:35 +0100

This is Faith’s friend Brittney. Faith’s internet will be out for a while and she’ll be back in a few weeks. Sorry all.She wants me to tell you that she loves you all and hopes you’re well. Pshaw.

i think maybe he feels like he cant help you, even tho he really does just by talking to you.

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:35:58 +0100

Yeah, but he says he can help if i let him be that friend. He always said “thank you for letting me help”

I really like my best friend but she's in love with somebody else :( I really wanna be with her because the guy she loves hurts her. She cuts herself because of him and tries to kill herself. I really wanna be with her so I can protect her from guys like him. I just don't understand why she had to fall for an asshole.

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:34:50 +0100

Most girls do fall for the assholes. Its a sad, sad truth. That isn’t fair at all to you, but my suggestion is tell her how you feel. Tell her you want to be with her, and he’s a jerk. You’re not gaining anything by not saying anything, right? Might as well speak up. Of course that’s easier said and done. I’m here for you.

Good luck and stay strong.

xo, Elisa <3

I need some advice... Please help :(

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:29:51 +0100

So, in november i hosted a party and I broke down crying and went off to cut. One of my friends saw me with a blade to my arm, and sat and listened to me cry. He talked me through it, the next day i texted him and told him everything… He saw all my scars covering both my legs, my stomach, my hips and my whole arm. He promised not to tell, and he didn’t. He said that i can text him whenever i needed him, and after that I did. At the next few parties, he would come talk to me and hold me while i cried. We lost touch and didn’t talk for about a month, and then i texted him and asked him why, and he told me he was sorry, and he would never leave it for that long again, because he sees how sad i am at school and people with depression need someone to be there for them all the time.

So after that he texted me a few times and asked me how i was doing, and now we haven’t talked for over a month. Not one word from him, he won’t even make eye contact with me at school. About two weeks ago, I texted him and invited him to a party and he didn’t even bother to reply.

I don’t know what to do… This shows he doesn’t care, but I need someone in my life that i can talk to. I feel so much better after i talk to him, he always knows what to say.

What should I do? Please help guys, i’m desperate.

suicideisnotanoption4u: 8-years ago, CHP Officer Kevin Briggs...

Tue, 14 May 2013 00:10:52 +0100

suicideisnotanoption4u:

8-years ago, CHP Officer Kevin Briggs talked this young man out of jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.

That young man’s name is Kevin Berthia.
Today he is 30 years old and married with 2 children.
This week he presented Officer Briggs with an award on behalf of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

The story of how Officer Briggs talked Kevin down is remarkable.

As you can see in the picture, Kevin is literally one step away from jumping to his death. But for more than hour, the officer listened to Kevin pour his heart out about his troubles and told him, “I know you think things are bad, but they can get better.”

Kevin says, “Officer Briggs never made me feel guilty for the situation I was in. He made feel like, I understand why you are here, but there are alternatives”

Kevin is just one of countless lives Briggs has saved over his 23 year career.

Briggs, who was promoted to Sergeant five years ago, is humble about what he does. He says, ”they make the decision, when they step back over that rail it takes a tremendous amount of courage”

I salute Sergeant Briggs!

Sat, 11 May 2013 20:28:03 +0100

I lost my confidence completely. I let what people say about me get too me. 2 females wanna fight me. My so called "best friend" talks shit about me and treats me like a opinion. My family is putting me in the middle of my parents fighting. The only thing thy keeps me alive and not cutting is cheer leading. I don't go to help for anyone because I feel like in just annoying them. I mean can a broken girl like me can be ok? I don't think so if i try suicide every day and think about it.

Sat, 11 May 2013 18:47:27 +0100

Ah, sweetie. You just have to remember that you’re only human. We all make mistakes. Not to mention, everyone around you who is fighting and judging you… They’re all only human, too. We fuck up constantly, as with every other breed on this planet (human fuck ups are usually bigger though).

They have no right to judge you, sweetie.

Also, going to people for help is nothing to be ashamed of. You shouldn’t feel bad for leaning on somebody, because…

*sings* WE ALL NEED SOMEBODY~ TO LEEEEEAAAAN ON~ :D

*ahem*

I remember debating keeping quiet about my scratching or telling somebody. I decided to tell somebody, and thanks to that, I got out of it. I was diagnosed with seasonal depression in the 8th grade and was medicated for it ASAP because I opened up and told someone about my problems.

As for family fighting, let’s have one of my favorite sayings come into play here:

“If there something you can do about it, why worry? If there’s nothing you can do about it, why worry?”

Remember, if you take a hula hoop and drop it on the ground around you, you can only control whatever the hell’s in that hoop, and everything outside of it is out of your hands. So whatever you do, don’t you ever, ever blame yourself for what happens in life, because the shit hits the fan pretty hardcore sometimes.

But you can pick your friends, ignore the haters, and try to be the unique one in your family who doesn’t feed the fire.

The choice is yours, sweetie. <3

Stay strong. <3
