Its so sad to ask for attention, makes you feel you have to demand love rather then recieve it with barely a sign of need. But my last post I was told to ask for it if I needed it.

PC i'm truly dieing. I have nothing left......I'm so down....so alone no matter how many posts I read..I find im different...I find I'm dieing.....of a illness.....that we all heere have.

My post in depression forums explains my thought proccesses....and unexplained thoughts...I'M SO SCARED

I'm not cut out for this world..................................................

You have my attention.

I don't know why we feel this way and it is tuff. very, very tuff
When the world doesn't seem liveable I don't know what the answer is.

Here have a big hug. Know there are others out there with you.

Hunnybunny, Moonkin! Please continue to post here and share your thoughts.
We all need attention from time to time! I'm no exception!
I don't know much about you! Where are you located, are you a student, employed in some occupation...Forgive me for asking, but it might help in responses.
Love
Patty

So many people say, "S/he just wants attention," like wanting attention upon yourself is a bad thing. When people are depressed or worse, I think it's more "NEEDS attention," and why not give it to them? Sadly, a family member I love even said to me once, when I was talking about people who are suicidal should get attention if they need it that badly, and they're not "just doing it for attention," said, "Sometimes they are." I mean, what good is attention if you're dead???

Anyway, sorry, mini-rant there. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time of it, Moonkin.

<font color="#000088">I understand your need for attention. I feel like I'm not getting too much either. So I know how you feel. But don't give up on life in general, I'm doing my best not to! I know it feels like the only way out,but it really isn't. It can actually cause you a lifetime of pain and suffering if you don't succeed. So I'd strongly suggest not even going there. There are plenty of other ways to get the attention you need. You did good by posting how you felt here, that was one way to do it without causing any harm to yourself. Just avoid the harmful stuff, you're so young, and you still have so much life left to live, and it can get better for you. You just have to get the proper help,and give it a chance. Don't give up so young!

If you need attention I can give it. I'd be glad to truthfully...It makes me feel useful so you can email me or anything whenever you need someone to pay attention to you.
Just don't give up.Try your hardest. posionforluck@aim.com
I honestly hope you feel better soon.

Hey, I know how you feel. It's been so many times I've been on here and just wanted to scream "Somebody help me! Somebody be with me! Somebody give me some hope I can believe!" It's so hard in that darkness when all you really want is someone to take your soul and hug it tight and make that pain stop throbbing. And maybe the whole time you're thinking like I did, that even if you get the attention it won't really help, nothing will. And you just keep dragging on for whatever your reason is - you're afraid, you don't want to hurt people, you don't want to leave someone, you want things to be better, you don't want people to think badly of you for it. My last while of struggling life-and-death with it became partly just to say I really did try everything - and I really couldn't be helped. And when I'd truly tried everything my doctors, faith and my own searches had to offer, I tried to kill myself. Obviously it didn't work. I spent the next month in the hospital just waiting, totally planning to go out and succeed in killing myself when I was released. But then the totally unexpected happened. A fresh-out-of-med-school doctor filled in for my normal doctor a week, and he tried something new, something little heard-of, prescribing Ritalin for severe depression. And against my expectations, it worked! My head was cleared, everything felt bright and amazing and free like I'd never experienced before, and now, 1 1/2 years later, I feel the same way. And the way I feel now, the incredible feeling of freedom, is worth it all to me. Seriously! And if I had succeeded in suicide I would have never got the chance to enjoy life and grow as a healthy, whole human being - I would have really missed out.

I tell you this to try to encourage you. You sound like you're in one of those bottomless pits. Know that no matter how hopeless things seem, there really is always hope. I hope you find it soon.

God bless,
Tiffany
