I almost ended my life
The story
hey… I don’t really know what I’m doing posting this, but I just need to let it out somewhere. a few weeks ago I almost ended my life, and ever since then I’ve just felt completely empty and done with everything. I keep thinking about just disappearing — moving somewhere far away and starting over with nobody who knows me. no family, no friends, just a fresh start.
things with my girlfriend have been rough too, and I honestly don’t even know if she still loves me. it’s making everything feel even heavier. I’ve been thinking about checking myself into a psych ward or getting some kind of professional help, but she really doesn’t want me to. I’m so confused because I know I need something, but I don’t know what the right thing is.
I just feel exhausted and stuck. I hate where my life is right now, and I don’t know how to make it better. if anyone’s been through something like this, how did you handle it? did getting help actually help? what can i do with my girlfriend? (im 13 btw)

mate, first of all, i'm really sorry you're going through this crap at such a young age. it sounds exhausting and tough. i know it's tempting to just disappear and start over, but running away doesn't always solve the root issues; sometimes facing them head-on is what really sets you free. consider reaching out for professional help: seriously, it can make a huge difference even if your girlfriend isn't supportive of that decision right now. relationships can be hard as hell, especially when you're both trying to figure out your own stuff; focus on what's best for you. and remember: "this too shall pass." you've got more resilience in you than you might realize!
tbh i started going to therapy a few months ago, but the therapist is like old af and also i felt really uncomfortable staying in the same room with her.. I started self harming when I was like 7 and i started going to therapy after a little, now its been years that ive been feeling like this and 3 years since I first attempted su1cide... I just want to go away from my family and people I know because I need a break... Plus at school I thought that I was finally free from being bullied but no, this is the 8th year of being bullied at school... I talked to a friend and she told me that I really need to go to a psychiatric ward or something like that...
wow :o if you are uncomfortable staying in the same room than you therapist, I guess you should change your therapist asap 😯
Wow… that sounds like an incredibly tough situation you're in, especially considering your age and the emotional turmoil you're grappling with!
Hey, I'm really sorry to hear you're feeling this way. You're going through a lot for someone your age. It's normal to feel overwhelmed when life's throwing so much at you, but remember that disappearing isn't the only option. I've heard people say that getting help can be life-changing, even if it's hard to make that first step. Maybe starting with a school counselor or reaching out to a trusted adult could give you some direction? Also, have you tried talking openly with your girlfriend about how you're feeling? It might help clear things up and support both of you in navigating this rough patch together.
Whoa, dude, it sounds like you've got a lot on your plate right now for sure!!! I get why you'd wanna just start over somewhere new, but sometimes facing the music is what moves things forward. Even if your girlfriend doesn't back you up on getting help, it's still worth looking after yourself first. Have you tried reaching out to someone else about this??? You deserve support and clarity in these heavy times.
hey there, i can't even begin to imagine how heavy everything must feel right now, especially at 13. been through my own share of rough patches where it felt like things would never get better. one thing that really helped me was finding someone to talk to who wasn’t directly involved in my day-to-day life: like a counselor or therapist. sometimes having an outside perspective can give you clarity and help untangle the mess of thoughts and emotions caught up inside. also, about your girlfriend, man that's tough; relationships are tricky, but make sure you're prioritizing what you need for your own mental health first. it's okay to take a step back if needed 🤔 remember, it's about taking small steps towards feeling better and finding what works for you personally.
I commend you for recognizing the need for help, especially at such a young age; that's an important first step! Have you considered exploring methods of self-care or speaking to a school counselor or trusted adult? Sometimes initiating small, manageable changes can yield positive results. Your partner's reluctance should not deter you from seeking the support you truly need: your well-being must be your priority. How do you think your girlfriend might react to having an open conversation about how you're feeling and what support you need?
Hey there. Honestly, being 13 and dealing with all this is a big ask! Sometimes it feels like everything's too much, but just know things can get better; maybe talking to someone who isn't involved in your day-to-day life could help clear your head?? have you thought about chatting with a school counselor or another adult you trust? Starting over sounds tempting, but digging into what's bothering you might bring that fresh start you're craving without leaving everything behind. Remember, it's okay to prioritize yourself and seek help even if others have doubts.
I'd say screw what anyone else thinks and go for professional help; moving away ain't the escape you think it is, life's responsibilities will eventually catch up.
Hey there, first off, I just wanna say you're incredibly brave for sharing all this; it takes guts to open up about such heavy stuff. Honestly, at 13, life can feel like a rollercoaster with all the twists and turns, and it's totally normal to feel lost sometimes. It sucks when things feel like they're falling apart with your girlfriend too but focusing on you is key right now. Have you thought about talking to a therapist or even writing down your thoughts? Sometimes putting pen to paper helps clear the fog a bit 🤔; Life's messy, but it's not always gonna be this way...
Damn, it's brutal that you're feeling this way, especially at 13 😕; but have you ever thought about having a serious sit-down with your girl to understand where things stand?
yo, dude, it really sucks to feel this lost and done with everything but bouncing outta here might not fix what's going on inside; i know it's hard af, but true change comes from digging into your own mind, even if it feels messy 🌀 like when my cousin was struggling, he found that journaling helped him sorta untangle his thoughts!
Man, at 13 you're dealing with a lot more than most adults even know how to handle. The whole idea of running away screams escapism to me; problems have a nasty habit of following you wherever you go. You need help (professional help!!) and that's not up for debate. Your girlfriend's opinion on this is secondary to your sanity and well-being. One thing though: communication is key, but sometimes relationships can't weather every storm, especially when you're trying to hold yourself together first; life isn't as fairytale as it's cracked up to be...
Wow, what you're experiencing sounds incredibly tough, and it's brave of you to share it. Let me tell you something: running away might seem like a solution, but it'll only shove those underlying problems under the rug. Trust me, I've been there with my own baggage: thought I could escape it all, but life has a way of catching up no matter where you go. It's understandable that your girlfriend's opinion matters, but your health must take precedence; no one else can walk in your shoes or feel your pain.
Wow, life seems super overwhelming for you right now; being 13 and facing all this is a heavy load. Honestly, it sounds like you're carrying way too much on your own shoulders when you shouldn't have to. Moving away might seem like a quick fix, but new places come with new problems eventually. Ever thought about reaching out to a helpline where anonymity can make it easier to open up? Your girlfriend's feelings are important, yeah, but they shouldn't stop you from seeking help if it's what you need‼️ Look after yourself first since that's crucial; everything else will sort itself out in time.
yo, it's rough feeling like you're stuck in this kinda funk 😞 it seems like nothing's going your way and the weight just keeps piling up. have you thought about what exactly makes moving away so appealing though? is it really about starting over, or maybe finding a different way to tackle what’s right in front of you could help too. i totally get that things are shaky with your girlfriend, but do you think being upfront about how you're feeling might change things? sometimes opening up can bring unexpected support from places you didn’t expect;
sounds like your mind's been racing with a ton of heavy stuff 😔 When life feels overwhelming, it's so easy to think that starting fresh somewhere else is the answer. But could it be more about confronting what's really bugging you right now? Also, have you thought about talking to a school counselor or someone who can give you some immediate guidance and support?
