Silent:  I once felt what you are feeling but I thank-god that I didn't choose death over living. I'm not saying it has been all roses, far from it, but if I had chosen not to stick it out I wouldn't have seen the joys I've seen either.  I have gone through alot of pain in my life but I found it's the pain that has made me stronger.  It's unbearable to face when you're going through it. I know the feeling. You just want to die and escape.  You feel alone, worthless, that nothing matters anymore and at the time it doesn't, but eventually as time passes the pain lessens. The memories are always going to be there but they get pushed further and further behind and then you find that because of that pain you have become stronger and are better capable of handling situations that you are presented with.  The happiness will come back in your life again.  It'll happen when you least expect it. Don't cheat yourself out of that. Talk to someone you trust about your feelings don't make a fatal mistake.  No one in life is worthless, a failure, a mistake or a screwup. Everyone makes mistakes at some point, I know I have.  Don't let those mistakes control what you think of yourself and don't ever let anyone and I mean ANYONE make you feel that you are less then. Better days WILL come.  I'm not saying it's going to be easy but you need to stick it out and when you do, you'll see.  You won't regret it.  Talk to someone. If you don't have anyone to talk to there are alot of us here that care and that you can talk to, but you need to do it!   My e-mail address is not on here at the moment but I'll post it as soon as I can just in case you need to talk.  Things WILL get better, you'll see.  Just give it some time.

Take-care *HUGS*

Hi Silent you know everybody hurts sometime and lots of people have gone thru the same situations you are experiencing right now...whatever it may be that is getting you down...so I suggest you find some friends your age and start sharing your experiences with them and try to work out the things that are bothering you....get out and experience life...you are not the only one that has been hurt...but I know things can be rough if you feel all alone...so take care of yourself..find some friends that care for you...they are looking for you....James

Hi, I was directed to your post by another member who was concerned about you. Strange? Maybe, since that member doesn't know you and you don't know him/her. But that's not odd here at Passions. When one of the family expresses a 'Death Wish', we tend to rally together.

I've checked out your website - it's good (are you that angel in the picture?)  

I hope these feelings you're having are temporary. No one should feel this much despair. You are not worthless, a mistake or a failure! As for being a screwup...hey! we all do that from time to time...don't let it get you down.

If you need to talk, I'm just an email or ICQ message away.

I hope you are able to confide in one of the kind souls in this place. Please don't take your life because you are valuable to this world. Things will get better....just give it time. If you want to talk, just email me...I'll be sure to reply. Blue skies around the corner....

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

I've responded to several of your poems in the past, and just re-read all of them again through a search Silent Soul.  Your words are so filled with sadness, it is sometimes difficult to determine how to respond to help you understand that "life does get better" beyond these teen years.

Your pain and confusion in reading these poems you write comes through so clearly, and that in itself is a talented gift Silent Soul.  You have much to offer, so please consider talking to a professional counsellor.  

I sometimes joke about the fact that my father is a psychiatrist ... but in truth, he is a man I admire to the depths of my soul for I've seen the people he has helped.  Someone like this is a third party and does not judge or criticize ... they work much like this forum ... almost anonymously, but with professional guidance.  Although I can offer comfort here in this forum, I do not pretend to have the answers you seek.  Your thoughts and feelings are safe when speaking to a professional ... they will only help guide you and assist you in exploring your sadness to help you see beyond the pain.

Your poem "Is it the Answer" frankly terrified me, as I was familiar with the term "cutting". A teenager I went to school with did this to herself, mutilated herself, and I recall speaking to my father about it at the time.  He told me stories I could never imagine ... and yet these were some of the people whom he helped to get out of such vicious cycles of self-abuse and sorrow.

I simply can't urge you enough to seek counselling Silent Soul. You've said that you can't speak to your family and they "think" you're happy, so I urge you to speak to a school guidance counsellor, school nurse, family doctor or close adult friend ... they can help you find someone who will help you understand all of these emotions and help you to be the happy person you so want to be.

Please take care Silent Soul ...

Best wishes and prayers that you will consider seeing someone who can help you deal with this pain,
/Kit

Lost and Found

When you are lost, don't pay the cost
I ask you please, I'm on my knees
We need you here, it's very clear
We love you soul, make happiness your goal

When you are found, Passion friends are around
Friends that care, feelings you can share
We've all walked that mile, let's heal and smile  
Together a goal, speak Silent soul

Silent...I am reading in between the lines of your poem. In there I find a very kind, loving and sensitive person. Out of the abundance of the mouth the heart speaks. For you to take the time to share your words of despair with us is a start in the right direction. As you can see from the previous comments there are people that care...ALWAYS
right here at passions. Just plain simple folks who realize that problems of all kinds don't last forever and that we always grow to a greater maturity after dealing with them. I agree with Kit, it is amazing how a well trained person like his father can gradually set your mind at ease. Seek out the help of someone like this and you will always be thankful for so doing.

Feel free to email me anytime I would like to encourage you.
