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.
