feeling really low this afternoon.

think i'm just gonna go ahead and harm myself... everything is so broken and it just feels like no matter what i do it's not gonna be good enough anymore.

my life is such an unhappy tale...

((((shattered sanity)))) - I am sorry things feel so tough right now.

At such times I think we need to be even more gentle with ourselves until the feelings pass - as they will pass.

Please keep safe - Soup

Feelings do have a tendency to pass...if you have taken the time to visit these forums, you've given yourself enough time to pause and take stock of things. I do hope that you keep yourself safe. If you are in crisis, give a call to a hotline. Contacting people when you are feeling like this sometimes helps. Keep holding on. I'm sorry to read that you are feeling this way, but it can pass.

thanks... you're probably right, but i'm guess i'm just tired of waiting out the storms.

I once had someone tell me, when I was in the deepest throes of a depressive episode, that 'even after the darkest of nights, the sun still rises'. That phrase gave me hope. It was grafitti that was written on the wall of a hospital for the most ill and destitute people, somewhere in Italy. If there can be hope in those bleak places, then I think there can be hope here too.

I like that too! That is a good phrase to remember, regretful.
Here's another (from a fortune cookie believe it or not!):

"When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars"

I don't know if it's hopeful, but I like it.

Please never hurt yourself. It's not worth it. It'll only make you feel worse in the end. It'll be okay after you get over the feeling of wanting to do it. Please...try your hardest not to... Feel better. <3
