Help

I don't know what to do. I have been getting better with my depression but something today triggered it.It wasn't even important or big it was a small comment that wasn't event meant to be hurtful. Now though i am spiraling. i want to scream and cry. I want to rip a whole in my chest in order to get to my heart to try and untangle the threads i feel suffocating it. I am scaring myself. I am having thoughts of major SI and am biting (my weird way of SI). I don't know what to do to make the feeling go away. The tightness in my chest feels like it's going to kill me.

Just breath. I know easier said than done. We are here for you. I wish the best for you and I hope it gets better for you!

I know it's hard not to take comments other people make personallybut know that there will be some good days and some bad days. Keep yourself distracted from thinking too much on it because you're worth it!

it's ok to cry...scream too...get it out...
you're feeling a build up of a lot of things probably....
i find it best for me to have a plan for when i'm feeling so overwhelmed...
i have one person that i call when i feel like i can't cope....that one person is my lifeline...she has been through a lot of crap through life and has turned her life around and is helping me....
try to think of some coping skills that might work for you.
write them down.
journal? (write poetry, songs....whatever you want)
exercise?
do something you enjoy
new hobby?
think of someone you can call in those times...ask them to be that one that you can call....

sending hug your way

First off, biting isn't weird. It involves both pain and concentration, so it really empties your head for a few seconds. It's how I keep myself from breaking things when I really get enraged. When you're depressed, you can see insult in things that weren't intended that way. The self-loathing tend to assume that others loathe them as well.

I don't know your situation. Maybe this is temporary, maybe you'll live with it your entire life. For both, every day is a struggle, for the latter it stays with you. I have a lot of experience with this, and I will certainly listen, if you need to talk. Talking to someone, expressing yourself, can make you feel surprisingly better, even at your worst. For those times when you can't express yourself, just keep yourself distracted. Sometimes, a good television show or song or game can save your life.
