Sometimes there is someone who cares and really will want to help you. Sometimes you won't even know it. My friend's brother killed himself. That really hurt my friend. He now does everything he can to make sure all his friends are doing ok and when I start to feel suicidal I know I can go to him and he will do everything he can to make me feel better.

Sometimes all the love and support from friends and family isn't enough to make the pain go away. Sometimes suicide is the only way out.

And for some people, there really is no one.

I don't know you or your situation, but I hope you can figure things out. Take a close look around you and think about if anyone actually cares. Try to get therapy or help or make close friends who will care about you to make the pain go away. Or don't, if you don't really want to. But either way, I hope you can do whatever you feel is best for you.

well my online friend didn't seem to care much. i donno. she didn't even try to stop me. maybe she's just tired of my constant suicidal thoughts and mental breakdowns. i sometimes wonder if she even wants me to be her friend.

my family will care and be sad. but they're abusive and horrible and will make life horrible for me if they find out i'm suicidal. id on't wanna do anything with them. I just wanna forget they exist.

i know my sister (not my blood sister but i call her that) would be pretty sad. that's why I haven't done it yet. tbh it was initially this. but lately i've gotten very scared of the pain and idea of death. so now that's added on top.

i've tried theraphy a trillion times. non of them could help me. the last one told me they can't help me unless I get out of iran. because they can't help me when I have an open wound. they said they can only help me once i'm actually safe

It sounds like you have a good relationship with your sister. If so, could you talk to her about it?

she can't do much. i don't wanna upset her more.

It sounds like she cares and you trust her. I don’t think she would be upset to help more, in fact I suspect she would want to if she knew. Glad to know you have someone close to you in your life that you trust though. As a stranger on the internet, I wish I could help more.

why remind her when i can be pretty? i've told her before.

and she doesn't help much.
