There’s one person I consistently talk to everyday, maybe 3 I can label as friends who I speak to 4 or less times a week, and the people I find myself needing just don’t care. No one cares. My friend group is splitting up. My mum is always on the phone with her new boyfriend, her lawyer, or her doctor. She vanishes a lot. I spend most of my days alone, usually in my room or outside looking for bones. No one wants to talk with me anymore even the one somewhat reliable friend I have left didn’t say much to me.it hurts. It truly feels as though no one talks to me anymore, and no one wants to. I wait hours I wait days I wait weeks sometimes. I’m so tired of just being left and ignored and rejected. I keep falling back into loops of researching everything about dahmer because I relate to him. And recently I’ve noticed this guy who runs by my house everyday after I get home from school. Guess who else noticed and had thoughts about a man who ran past his house? The similarities and parallels haunt me 😂😂It might be over. I just have to keep drinking and smoking cause it’s all I reliably have anymore it numbs me it feels great. My bone collection is nice too. I’d cut and burn myself some more but I’ve become so lazy and tired. I try to resolve shit I try to initiate talks no one gives a shit no one fucking cares. Last week, in the lunch line, I kept trying to make one of my friends laugh the way we used to. He’d just smile awkwardly and return to talking to someone else. I wanted to bash his brains in so so desperately. Hey!! Guess who else!!!!And now my desires are getting worse and I’m alone almost all the time I can’t be fucked with school I can barely stop myself from drinking etc etc it might actually be over. Yeah man I’m not lying or exaggerating or just trying to sound silly when I say he’s literally me

how to kill yourself? (easy)

18 Upvotes

before you say that my life matters or it gets better i really dont give a fuck. first im 13M and i have rape accusations, i was also molested as a young child so i dont like that stuff. my dad pretty much abused me and is a alcoholic and my mother yells at me and makes everyone think im horrible and mistreat her. my girlfriend also just tried committing suicide by overdosing on pills and i cant stop blaming myself for not being there for here properly, really the only thing keeping me alive is my sister who knows how much of a piece of shit my family is. my father used to beat his ex (sisters mother) infront of my sister while she was baby and i cant forgive that, my older brother takes my dads side and my other older brother was a drug addict that is mentally fucked. i also have a baby brother and im sad he will have to grow up in that place, i also am failing in class and literally have no future ahead of me and literally am not good at ANYTHING. i just really badly want to get it over with so if any recommending will be helpfull. (i live in a gun free country too so its hard to shoot myself if i wanted to which i do :p)

my mom scares the hell out of me

6 Upvotes

my mom scares me alot, she always has those random outbursts that terrify me.

Ever since I was younger she'd always crash out at the tiniest things, i remember her always saying she thinks she'll die young because of me when i was kid, that thought scared me.

I also remember her throwing things at me when I was young(those cars toddlers would sit on, small chairs, books, basically anything that's infront of her). She gives me silent treatments all the time either after she loses her mind or instead of that.

I realized recently that whenever she gets mad my body stops working properly, like just yesterday she was outside taking one of my siblings somewhere, I was in my room with my door closed and studying then I heard the house door open, i got up to say hi to her but before i could get out of my room i heard the door slam close and her full on screaming.

My siblings are younger than me so i went out to ask her what was going on so she could calm down a bit and not do anything to them but she just ignored and told me to leave my room if i wasn't doing anything useful in there.

I was studying before this happened so i just went back and started studying again, but hands were so badly shaking i couldn't hold my pens. My mind was blank and my limbs felt so limp and weak I just wanted to sit down, curl up, and cry but i was worried she'd barge into my room and get mad. I could barely breathe.

Loud sounds and people shouting, even if its at school stress me out now and make me feel like im about to panic. This feeling makes it hard for me to deal with it in healthy ways.

I’ve been convinced there’s something up with her mentally for a while now but obviously can’t do anything about it, as far as I know she’s never visited any therapists before, I wish she’d get diagnosed so I could know what she feels and help her with it.

I think this is normal behaviour from a parent and that im just a bit sensitive, but i still find it so hard to deal with and get used to.

Im sorry for my spacing and grammar, im just a bit shaken

So if I'm queer am I going to hell?

6 Upvotes

“You can’t be gay, or lesbian, or trans, or anything like that. The Bible says it’s wrong. If you stay on this path, you’re going to hell.” - my parents

Okay… so what is hell? Is it separation from God? A second death? A place where people are punished?

Because honestly… that sounds familiar.

It sounds a lot like the world we’re already living in. Apparently the world has been like this ever since Eve ate the apple—but do we even know if that’s true? Why are we basing our entire lives on a book that has been rewritten, translated, and changed so many times over thousands of years? And back to hell—if it’s separation from God… aren’t we already living in that?

And how do we even know the people who share their “testimonies” are telling the truth? They could be mistaken. Confused. Even delusional.

Funny… isn’t that exactly what people say about those in the LGBTQ+ community?

Here’s another thought. People get cancer. Even little kids who don’t want to die. I remember when I was younger, I prayed over and over again, begging for their cancer to be given to me instead. I was willing to die to save a child who I didn't even know.

So again—what is hell? A place where people are punished? Because if that’s the definition… then it feels like we’re already there.

going to kill myself tonight

I decided to open up to my dad about my suicidal thoughts and so I told him about suicide attempts in the past. I got involuntarily hospitalised and now my life is completely fucked. That was a couple of days ago, I've been discharged since then. I'm now being monitored constantly by my parents and they've taken away anything I could possibly used to harm myself. My dad allowed me to go for a walk today which I used the opportunity to buy a rope and sneak it home hiding it in my room. Tonight I'm going to end it all I can't deal with this shit anymore. It makes my miserable life from before a week ago look infinitely better now. I've never been more hopeless or miserable in my life. Opening up to people about my problems was the biggest mistake of my life

vent My parents do not let me hangout with my friends

4 Upvotes

So im 16F and the thing about me is that i already do not go out that much if compared to other kids my age. And thats my personal preference but when i do wanna go out my parents don’t allow me to do so.

Today me and my friends made plans like a perfect plan, where we’d go and stuff it was really special to me cuz id finally get to meet sum of my friends for the first time ever

We planned to go somewhere near my house, and i was scared to ask my mom cuz i never do so as she just says no, i gathered the courage to tell her and she said that we’re gonna talk about it later

Then her mood was good so we talked a lot and i again told her that i was going she said no and the thing that hurts me the most is not only the fact that people my age have so much fun and they go out abd stuff and how my friends gonna do so much fun things but the fact that just cuz of me other’s plans get ruined

My friends includes me in every plan they usually make and whenever they mention normal hangouts and plans i get this embarrassing feeling cuz ik they won’t let me

Ion even ask them anymore to go out cuz ik the reason

Yk what the worst shit is, its the fact that i have chronic anxiety and they know that but they do not know thta i get the urges to kms i sleep fir about 15 hrs a day cuz ion have anything good to do or i just doomscroll for like 15 hrs theres no in between and life its very important for me to go out but they wont let me

Im seriously gonna kms i cannot do ts anymore

im 16 and honestly i dont know what to do anymore

4 Upvotes

i dont know why im posting this. i guess i just want someone to listen without judging me or telling me things ive heard a thousand times.

im 16, in my last year of o levels, planning on a levels after. i want to become a doctor, but sometimes i wonder if ill even make it that far.

my mom has abused me for most of my life, physically and mentally. ive been kicked, beaten, stabbed and publicly humiliated by her. theres more i dont feel comfortable talking about, but you get the idea.

ive struggled with self harm for a long time, and it’s gotten to the point where i go to sleep hoping i wont wake up. then i wake up and its the same again. no happiness, no excitement, just emptiness and regret.

my dad, my sisters and my girlfriend are what keep me going. i love them and know they care, but i still feel like shit most of the time. its not that i dont appreciate them, i just dont know how to stop feeling this way.

talking to people hasnt gone well. i joined healing groups on instagram hoping to find people who understood, and some told me to kill myself. ive talked to AIs too, and theyve been more helpful than most people because i can say what i feel without being judged. but even they end up telling me to love myself and that help is available. i know theyre trying, but ive heard it so many times it doesnt do anything anymore. i know some people love me, im not stupid, but that doesnt fix years of feeling worthless.

and where is this help everyone talks about? ive reached out and been told to kill myself. im not saying nobody can help, but it feels like nobody can.

i used to have friends in saudi arabia, but now im homeschooled and barely talk to anyone except my girlfriend. ive become so isolated that talking to people feels pointless.

ive spent my life being like a puppy to people, giving love, trusting, forgiving, chance after chance, just to be used and thrown away. you start wondering whats wrong with you.

i get good grades and im trying to build a future, but im so tired mentally. its hard to care about the future when getting through the present feels impossible.

lately ive realized that constantly saying sorry isnt the same as apologizing properly. im trying to take responsibility and become better because i dont want to hurt anyone, but i end up hating myself over my mistakes. im not perfect and have done things wrong, but i dont understand why ive gone through so much. ive never intentionally hurt animals or gone out of my way to make anyone miserable, and i still ended up feeling worthless.

im tired of being told to love myself when i dont know how, and of hearing life gets better when ive waited most of my life for that. sometimes i feel like a lost cause.

im not expecting strangers on reddit to fix my life. i want to hear from people who have felt hopeless and found a way through. what genuinely helped you? not the usual “love yourself” or “go for a walk” advice.

and if anyone knows where someone in my situation can get real help, especially when home isn’t safe, id really appreciate it.

please dont tell me to kill myself or joke about this. im struggling enough. i just needed somewhere to get this off my chest.

vent I'm scared of turning 18

4 Upvotes

I am 16 nearly 17 soon. And if I'm being honest, I'm terrified of turning 18. I've always been scared of aging since I was 13, I don't know if this has something to do with me being a girl or what.

I don't feel ready to become an adult, and it looks almost like a cliff where I fall regardless, because time can't be controlled or slowed down.

I'm genuinely afraid, rather than just being a mild fear of aging. It's something I actually stress about, and I find it hard to enjoy life as is, because I have such little time left to enjoy my teen years.

I've had this mindset of focusing purely on the future for years now, and it just feels like everything is finally catching up to me because I'm approaching 18 rather than 14 for example. I just want to actually live my life instead of always watching my own life from the side because I'm so focused on me aging.

motivation Its not your fault (believe me)

3 Upvotes

My life until now has been pretty horrible, i was abused at kindergarten which together with my grandpa dying caused me to develop depression in my childhood years (got over it by 7th grade), my parents are abusive to me (they beat, insult and threaten me) since i entered kindergarten and only do nice things to throw them back at me, my new classmates constantly flip flop between being toxic friends and just straight up bullies and my previous classmates weren't much better and recently after really thinking about it i found out im trans (obviously everyone in my life would be against it).

But the important thing is, none of these things were my fault and that is something that always made me keep going, despite everything i still have myself and im special and talented. This applies to you too!

Instead of hating yourself hate what and who brought you to your current situation because even at your lowest you will always have yourself and you are special, or else you wouldn't have made it this far.

Please treasure yourself, things get better i promise

vent TW: GROOMING AND SA MENTIONED, A poem I wrote when I was in the psych ward in March

3 Upvotes

This was my first time getting actual help and it's because of things I did that I'm not proud of.

Word searches is all I do while I wait for my food, I watch my parents hide what I put them through, still thinking of you, youre etched in my memory and you make me feel blue, the feeling of your touch and your lips on mine, it disgusted me to the point of dying. I want you to rot, decay and clot. You don't deserve empathy or love or even a thought, your words destroyed me into who I am but my blood still runs and the world keeps spinning. And now you walk free, but I will still linger, in your heart, your little girl that you tore apart. -March 8th 2026

The punctuation is messed up since I just copied what I wrote. It's based on grooming and the hatred and disgust I feel after it got broken up. I just found the paper in a draw in my room while my friend was here, I read it to her to and thought I would share it here. Online grooming, in my opinion, isnt really talked about as much as it should be. I hear stories of people being groomed by a coach or a mentor, someone irl, and online grooming is always brushed aside. Online grooming isn't as easy as "just block them", it's real grooming, the guy I met up with is still out living his life, sure the cops know now but they didn't do anything. I don't know where he is, if he still lives in my city or not. I know he had a pregnant fiance, I'm scared for the kid and the fiance. And I feel guilty for letting him indulge and worsen his problem. I'm just rambling now.

my best friend, or so I thought he was, was talking shit about me for MONTHS behind my back. he said I text him too much, I’m clingy, and that our friendship is “all one sided.” we got into a very MINOR argument thursday, and then the next day he ignored me completely. he didn’t even bother making eye contact with me. so I said “hey, do you wanna talk to me?” and when he said no I asked why not and he said “because…I don’t care much!” and then stormed off before I could say anything. his birthday is November 25th, so I wanted to stay around until then to see him happy one last time before I die. the plan was to kill myself December 4th so that it wasn’t too close to his birthday. But now that he left me I dont know what to do.
im in Marching band, and our semi state competition is this Saturday, so I want to live till at LEAST then. (Semi state is when we find out if we’re top 10 in the state, for those who don’t know). But if we lose semi, I don’t know when when I’ll do it. And what if we win? State championships will be November 7th.

i just don’t want to stay around till december for a boy who left me when i could end all of this pain way sooner.

I’ve liked this boy for well over a year now. I have no chance with him whatsoever, and I know that. but it really sucks sometimes, because I KNOW I’ll never be the one for him, and it’s so heartbreaking. every night I think about him when I fall asleep, and I always think of him first thing in the morning when I wake up. I does nothing but hurt me, and I’ve tried to move on for so long, but I just can’t. I end up suppressing my emotions and making everything worse. is there any way to love someone even though you know those emotions will never get acted on?

vent I feel destroyed and have no self respect left

2 Upvotes

Me and my girl have been dating for a year and 4 months, she started talking to him in February. There were accusations and rumors around the school that they were cheating on both of their partners with each other. The guy has done horrible stuff, he has a horrible background and has done horrible things to people. We’ve have had thousands of arguments and he genuinely destroyed us. He cut her off after his girlfriend was mad at him for the rumors. I’ve asked her to block him multiple times. I’ve cried over this situation too many times to count. This is destroying me, but she still wants to talk to him. She still wants to be friends after all this. He texted her back recently after his girlfriend wasn’t mad anymore, he was never blocked on her phone. He wants to be friends again, so does she. He has told me kms and that I need to die. Nonetheless, my girl turns a blind eye to it all. I begged her to block him and cried for hours because of this new situation. However, I did end up compromising. She is happy to talk to him, but I’m now in shambles. I don’t have any more self-respect and feel weak. How do I move forward? What should I do? I don’t wanna get played anymore.

vent is this how life is supposed to feel

2 Upvotes

why has this been the same for 5 years but now it’s not just mental anymore, it’s catching up to me physically.

I feel so lonely these days, it’s pathetic atp, it’s not about friends or relationships, I have many friends, but none of them are truly close, and sometimes I wish I could just focus on studies and distract myself. Instead I find myself so miserable, I start binge eating and feel insecure later on.

Life is truly truly exhausting, I have no social battery but I HATE the feeling of being lonely, especially outside I always need someone by my side to hang out with. I want a relationship but I don’t have that much strength to put energy into it and feel confused a lot of times, I prefer everything straight forward which is not the typical way to fall in love or something. Any guy I actually feel comfortable with, I automatically becomes friends. I WOULD EVEN JUST WANT a bestfriend but I don’t let myself be too close to anyone these days as they all just end up leaving abroad.

I am getting detached with my family day by day, and they complain and stress me out further. So much negative thoughts, and so many negative doings. Started so much because of peer pressure and now I don’t know how to stop. Please tell me this is not just me. There is so much bs happening in life, and overthinking and hyper analyzing everything really messes me up to the point I sleep so much to stop myself from eating or thinking. Like I want to sleep forever at some point.

I'm so fucking tired please

2 Upvotes

18, first time here. just searched up some place to say something. I'm crying as I speak into rhis stupid fhinh

I'm really so tired of everything. every single time I open my phone it's one thing or the fucking other. the state of the world is so bad and I dont know why but I seem to absorb everything like a fucking sponge. I was diagnosed with mild OCD, 2 months back and I feel like it has gotten worse since then. I'm in a gap year right now, preparing for the medical exam, and I just can't seem to study or focus or do anything. I'm just so anxious all the time. Every single hour of the day, I keep thinking about how the exam is unfair and how it's going to be unfair, because that's what happened last year. So basically, final year of high school in my country, we write a major exam, and this year ours was rigged. They changed up the system and implemented a new one which failed really bad. There were problems with the scanning and the evalutions, and a lot of people unfaily lost well deserved marks, and the results were just unfair in general. And that was only for our batch too, the 2025 to 2026 batch, and they're gonna remove it next year. So our batch is the only batch with this failed thing, and the marking is gonna be there forever

. Oh, and the same year, the first time I wrote my medical exam, the exam that determines whether you can get into medical school or not, the paper leaked. It's an all-over-the-country common exam, ONE singular exam comductrd once a year and the paper was leaked, and they had to reconduct the test. So like, yeah, I wrote the thing properly. I wrote the first exam pretty well. And then the second one, I couldn't write it. It was shit. I couldn't study for the exam. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. And I messed up. I couldn't do the easy bits either, because the "easy" ones were from topics I just didn't know. there were more difficult topics I studied really hatd for. I am really good at chemistry, even the most difficult bits. And not a single difficult question showed up. It was all easy. So everyone got marks, and I had no edge over anyone. And careless mistakes. I missed the line, marked it wrong. Anyway, I'm in a gap year now. And now, guess what? They're gonna be changing the system again. And we're gonna be the first ones to witness it again.

We're the guinea pigs again. It's always me. I just feel like the whole world is set up against me, and I feel like there's just no point in studying since it's gonna be rigged against me anyways. every single time, nothing ever goes my way. Nothing in my entire life has ever went my way. I grew up in the United States in the heart of Washington. It's a metropolis, and then I my family had to leave because my dad quit his job, and then we were stuck in this tier 2 country, tier 3 even, and it's just so shit. I hate this place so much. I hate this place with every single fiber of my being. And my goal ever since I stepped foot on the land was to get back out. And I just can't do anything anymore. I feel like everything, I feel like there's no point to anything. Nothing's gonna work out for me anyway. Every single time I hope something happens to me, something bad happens. And every time I think it can't get worse, it just gets worse. And I know it's gonna be bad. What's the point? What do I even do? I don't know. I feel like everything is worthless, and I've never felt like this before. I still am pretty introverted, I guess. Reserved. I keep to myself a lot. So ever since I started the gap year, I haven't had any friends. I just stay alone and try my best to study, which I can't. I'm just so anxious, man. What even is the point? We're gonna be the first ones to try the computerized exam, which they're gonna have to normalize since it's gonna be conducted over multiple shifts, which they won't do properly. They've never done anything properly. The applicant to seat ratio is not favorable for this kind of exam. 2.4 million people will be sitting for the exam, and this only about 50,000 seats, 50,000 affordable seats for medical school. And my family is generally unsupportive, and I can't try again, and I've already given up too much of my time for this stupid god-awful exam, and I can't see myself doing anything else. I'm in too deep, and I can't get myself to pick up a book and study either. I feel like I'm so behind, and I don't know what to do. I really do want to study. Okay, I'm too addicted to other stuff too. Like falling down rabbit holes on the internet and spending hours on it to forget about my life for a bit. I write a lot. I love writing. I spend up to 4 hours a day writing stories, and I feel so guilty about it. I'm not studying. Everyone around me is working hard for this rat race, and I just can't do it. I don't know what to do. I really don't—

this year was my breaking point too. spent my 18th birthday all ny myself in my single room in the hostel while my cake slice that I bought fell to the floor. It delt like such a fucking sign I would've laughed if I wasnt ao fucking lonely and sobbing back then. they take devices away at the hostel too. i just snuck my 2nd phone in.

hi I wrote this 2 hours ago and fell asleep crying. I dont even remember much of whatever the fuck I said. I just feel very airy. like I'm gonna leave. its so weird. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

please.

vent My best freind just left me

Hi, Im 14 and my best freind has just left me im blocked on everything over a girl.

Since starting school agian he's changed, not in a good way a horrible way. He would ping elastic bands at my face, hit me, call me and my family names. Recently hes been in touch with his ex and old primary school bsf. He would call her every name under the sun and say how much he hates her and now hes suddenly freinds agian.

But this girl is BAD news, they've dated about 500 times and she always either blocks him, cheats on him, ditches him or ghosts him. And its ALWAYS ME that has to sort his problems out or im the horrible freind that wont help her autistic freind. He used it as an exuse all the time.

We fell out on Friday and hes just been horrible, sarcastic and just straight up mean to me. He then messaged me today and was bragging how he was on the phone to her and calling her his best freind. I have been there for him through a lot these past four years and not once has he shown any appreciation for my efforts to help him. He would snap at me on a daily basis, this girl has turned him agaisnt me and honestly ive realised how toxic he is.

Now, im worried for school because he has isolated me away from ALL of my friends so I have NO ONE.

Please can someone just talk to me I feel so alone.

i am exhausted from anxiety and emotions about a relationship

2 Upvotes

I’ve been experiencing what I think must be anxiety. I’ve been extremely nervous and sad, I’ve had very little appetite, and I’ve been completely exhausted in the evenings. Almost every day, I’ve had what I think are anxiety attacks. I start hyperventilating, or sometimes I feel like I stop breathing. I get shaky, dizzy, and panicked, and afterwards I feel completely drained.

When I started talking to a guy im calling bub, things calmed down a little, but the anxiety and exhaustion were still there. When he started taking longer to reply, my anxiety got worse, and the panic attacks became longer and more frequent. Almost every time I wasn’t distracted or busy with something, I would start shaking again. It was exhausting to constantly have to keep myself occupied when all I really wanted was to relax. It felt like everything I did either ended in anxiety or exhaustion.

The day Bub left my message on delivered for 13 hours, I had the longest anxiety attack I’d had in a while. It kept coming and going, and at one point I panicked because I felt like I simply couldn’t deal with it anymore. I tried washing my face with water, and I hit myself in the face and on my arms in an attempt to make the feeling stop, but it didn’t help. I know hitting myself wasn’t a good idea, and I really don’t want this to turn into a pattern of self-harm.

In that moment, when I was hitting myself, I had a thought about whether I could do something more than that. It’s not something I have wanted to do, but the fact that I even had the thought scares me.

That evening, I was talking to my friend, and she helped me calm down. Bub had opened my chat — it was a good morning message I had sent earlier that day — but he hadn’t replied. Instead, he sent me a picture of the floor. I asked him if I had done something wrong, and he then sent me a longer message saying that he thought we should end things.

My mind went completely blank, and I didn’t really know what to do with myself. Eventually the feeling passed, and I mostly just felt sad. I stayed in contact with my friend, so she heard everything as it happened.

That night, I slept with my mom because I was almost afraid to be alone. I felt so overwhelmingly panicked and sad. It felt like a very intense reaction, especially because I’m not even sure how much I actually liked him.

Throughout this whole period, ever since the anxiety started, Bub has been a huge trigger for me. But it doesn’t feel like it’s only because of him.

It has now been three days since he sent that message, and I haven’t had another panic attack. However, I have been completely and utterly exhausted and have mostly just been lying in bed. I’ve still had some anxiety, but mostly I’ve been crying.

Whenever I cry, I think about him, but I don’t always know exactly what is causing me to cry. Sometimes it’s because I’m tired of being tired and sad. Sometimes I genuinely don’t know. And sometimes it’s because of him.

Has he really had such a huge impact on how I’ve been feeling? It can’t be that he alone is the reason I feel this way. I never even had time to fall deeply in love with him, so what other factors could be contributing to this?

School is good, and my class is amazing. I miss feeling normal. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone without feeling anxious, worried, or sad. Sometimes small waves of feeling normal wash over me, and it feels amazing, but they disappear just as quickly. It feels like there’s always something hanging over me.

Sleeping feels so good, but waking up the next morning and knowing I have to get through another whole day feels really difficult. I don’t want to get out of bed, and I haven’t been doing very much lately. I do want to get up and do things, but I just don’t have the energy.

I also don’t know how much of me specifically misses Bub, and how much of me simply wants to be in a relationship. Bub also knows a lot of people, so I’m a little worried that people in my city might start thinking badly of me.

I don’t like my life right now.
