My dear friend... It breaks my heart that you want to do this. Let me tell you a little something.

I am 20 y/o and I have attempted suicide twice. My first time I tried drowning myself, and the second, I cut my wrists. The pain of depression is heavy, and takes time to lift it. I have been depressed since I was 12 years old, and every day is a struggle.

I am not scared of my scars. It is a reminder to me of what I have been through, the pain that I took from my mind, and buried into my skin. The rush makes it worth it, it takes my mental pain away, if only for a second, but worth it.

Feeling worthless, hated, and alone.. How can you not hate yourself? If a picture of your pain helps you, then please go ahead and take pictures. These posts are saying to take it down, but if its help you want, you need people to understand your pain. Seeing is believing I guess...

If there is anything I can do to help, it is for me to tell you that you are not alone.. I am still young and unwise, but depression is an old friend who will never leave me.

If there is one thing that I ask of you, that you can do for a complete stranger who has been in your shoes. Please... please... put the blade down. Body pain is temporary and will heal, mental pain can stay with you forever. Just think of your family, think of your friends. Think about me, although you do not know me, I understand you, and if you do decide to end it. You will break my heart, and give me another reason to walk alone... We are all here for you my friend. Ultimately, the decison is yours, whatever you choose, know that I am thinking about you. If you need anything night or day, do not be afraid to ask. It is only because of the people in my life that I am still here today. I have changed my life for the better, and it is all because of the selfless people who cared about me when they could have just walked away. We love you.

Good luck friend.
