i am 17 years old and i have severe depression. i self harm everyday amd think about suicide constantly. i feel lonely all of the time and i would really like someone to talk to. i have no friends and i moved out from my parents house when i was 15 so i cant talk to them. i live with my boyfriend but he get upset when i say how sad i am because he thinks its his fault so i have to keep everything inside. i dont think i can pretend anymore. i want to die so much. just so i dont have to feel this constant pain inside of me.
i would really like it if someone could reply to this just so i could have someone to talk to.

What makes you so sad? Did something happen to you when you were young?

Can you explain a little so I have an idea where you are coming from? I'm sure you are a great person and just need to realize it but you need to clear up your past first. Are you able to talk to anyone about it or have you just kept it inside this whole time? If your bf isn't going to listen you need to tell someone...

Oh I am so sorry.. I would be a total mess if that happened to me. It's okay to talk about it. No one knows who you are on here that's why it's a great place to get advice. If you would rather email me so it's not out here you can. I don't know if that is against the rules of this site but if it helps you I would be willing to talk that way...

Was it someone you knew who raped you? You said your parents don't know that happened right? What did you start fighting with your parents about? Why did your friends leave? Sorry to ask so many questions, just trying to get to know you a little and for you to get out your feelings.

no i didnt no them at the time but soon after they starting hanging around my the time friends. and no my parents dont no about it.
i dont really remember why we fought, i guess i started pushing everyone away from me after it happened. same with my friends.
i just stopped seeing everyone and doing anything. i havent felt able to tell anyone about what happened because i no that they will just say it was my fault. i guess it was. he said i was asking for it and it is probably true. i just feel so worthless. i deserved what happened to me and i am the reason that my life is like this.
i would really like to fall asleep and never wake up

No no one would EVER tell you that it was your fault. That's what you hear in the media. Women are so criticized for being too sexy or acting too all the time. There is no excuse for forcing sex on someone. He was just trying to make you feel worthless and that it was your fault so you wouldn't turn him in. If you had true friends they would be there for you and help you. Your family would also come to your defense. I'm sure your reaction was normal to push everyone away because you probably felt ashamed and embarrassed at what happened. Please believe me that you are not at fault here.

even if what you said is true (which i find extremly difficult to believe) it doesnt stop the way i feel. i feel worthless, i feel dirty all the time, i feel sad, scared and alone. i feel as though i am trapped and to die is the only way to excape. cutting eases the pain for a bit but not long.

I am more than happy to talk to you but there is another place you can visit if you want more experienced help. There are thousands of other women who have been through what you have been through. If you don't want to talk to someone in person you can visit online at www.rainn.org or you can call 1-800-656-HOPE. It may help to talk to someone from there over the phone.. I just really want to help you and don't want you to hurt yourself anymore.

You did not waste my time. I am here for you to talk to. I am really worried now that I know your story and wish that me talking to you could help in some way. What happened is not your fault. You are the victim here not the guy who did this to you. Don't let him ruin you life. Remember I'm here for you..

I will be online for maybe another hour if there is anything else you want to tell me or talk about. I check the site almost daily so whenever you need to talk feel free to send a message.
