I've tried killing myself and I want to stop but I can't what should I do?
I'm 14 years old and have already tried to commit suicide. I don't want to hurt my mom and sister by killing myself and I want to grow and live but I just keep going back to suicide and keep having suicidal thoughts. I really want to stop but i'm not sure how I should and if I should tell my mom or not. I'm scared and don't know what to do.

If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, it would be in you best interest to get some help from others. Dealing with alone is extremely difficult and for me at least proved useless. Do you go to school? They might offer some counseling services? How about some close friends (be careful here, cause most people do not react well to hearing about suicide)? And your mom might be in the best place to help you honestly. You are very young, and have a lot of things to look forward to. Just calm down. If you absolutely feel you can not talk to your mom, or anyone that knows you personally, there is always the suicide hotline (1-800-273-8255). Seriously, try to get some kind of help.

You have to want to get help. It sounds like you're depressed. I was like you when I was 17. I didn't want to die either, yet I thought suicide. I just learned I needed help, and I told my school counselor. She got me psychiatric help and I'm glad she did.
Don't be afraid to ask someone for help, you did nothing wrong. Ok?

I apologise for the long message.
A month and a half ago, I had three attempts within a week. I will not lie, everybody around me stopped what they were doing and did everything they could for me. The person who drove me to such extreme measure actually couldn't give less of a damn until a friend phoned her and let her know that I had slashed my both of my wrists so deep and so extreme that it took 30mins to stop the bleeding. This was the third time.
4 Years ago, my best friend committed suicide; she taught me to be strong and she then took herself out of my life. I can attest as to how utterly devastating it is to a family, friends and people that know you. (I may sound like a hypocrite, but I put up with almost 7 months of complete destruction in my life while trying to get through my first year in universitty). There are people in this world who will put their lives on the line for yours; if you won't live for yourself, live for them.
An hour ago I was holding a knife to my throat, determined to die - I am now sending you this because I stood, alone, knife at my throat for an hour and 20mins, fighting myself so as to not destroy the lives of my friends and family. I am 19, you are 14 - WE have a lot of life yet to live and it is worth fighting for.
Sometimes I am sad that I survived, but you know what, if your body takes a complete overdose of sleeping pills on top of enough tequila to kill a horse, a drowning and savage self mutilation, it wants to live. Don't go where I did; I do not wish this upon anybody, ever, not even the person who put me here.
Take a look here: it makes a lot of sense :)

It isn't you that you want to kill, it is the terrible feelings you are having. You need to learn to grow emotionally, and as you do that the suicidal thoughts have no more place in your life. There are things you have and are experiencing that are overwhelming to you. Counselling is not necessarily a bad thing.

I have atempted suicide a few times before, using pills and cuting my wrists. I still have the scars that remind me of the hell my life was. I had my reasons but there was something that saved me. Music, I started messing around with a guitar and a keyboard, and it was amazing. Talking to people is a choice, but it didn't work for me. Try playing a musical instrument, it's easier than it looks, you can learn it by yourself and it provides an excelent outlet. All my sorrow and anger go into songs insted, and it just feels awesome.

Please enroll yourself for professional counseling if it's real, otherwise pinch yourself hard if it's just an after effect of a nightmare.

1-800-273-8255 is the suicide hotline if you're in the U.S. Call that number now if you can.
Otherwise, seek out someone you trust who loves you or a counselor and talk about what's hurting you so deeply. Don't take a permanent solution to fix a temporary problem. You are so young and have so much life ahead of you. Your possibilities are endless, and you owe it to yourself to see your journey all the way through.Like (1)

Talk to your Dr. You should ask for some talking therapy. Everything is confidential. Maybe there is someone at school you could tell, they have people that can help you, you just need to ask for the help.
