Hi. This is my first post here. Mostly I would just like someone to talk to. Recently a lot of stuff in my life has started to go downhill, and I've never been that great at dealing with stress (or life in general, really). Sometimes I feel like my reasons for being depressed aren't really valid. They're things that most people face every day...I just can't handle them. When I DO try to deal with my problems it seems like I go about it all wrong...cutting, drinking, pills, etc. It's not like I do these harmful things constantly, but I feel horrible about doing them at all.

When I woke up today I felt...awful. I've been crying so much. I haven't eaten. I called some of my friends, but no one is answering their phones. I haven't really had a chance to get things off of my chest, or out of my system yet, and it's wearing me down. I feel so alone right now. If there is anyone that would like to talk, I'm on AIM a lot, and my SN is in my profile.
