Problem is. No one cares. They won't think of you being suicidally depressed until you say that you are going to kill yourself. No one cares.

It's not simply down to 'If I only had a heart', and that the absence of one makes me unable to reach out to people. In times like these I know very well that I have a heart, because I can feel it pounding fit to burst. If the person sees that I'm shaking, I fear that they may feel intimidated more than comforted. It's really just as if I were about to perform a piece ... a bit like stage fright.

Even if I actually do pluck up the courage to carry out my plan, I become so overwhelmed that I fail to co-ordinate the use of facial expressions, tone of voice and body contact all at the same time, so that it sounds revoltingly timid and artificial. I believe reaching out to people is down to skill, and that motives alone cannot achieve this. And I’ve known good angels that make it look easy. I need to be hugged more myself.

@mercscout I'd love to, though 'don't be afraid to be warm and tender' is easier said than done for me. It shouldn't be too much for me to go up to someone who's having a bad day and offer a few words of praise or sympathy in a convincingly kind and gentle tone, or give their hand a squeeze or something like that, but each time I plan to 'approach' someone ... just as I'm at the point of doing it ... my heart begins to pound very fast and I start to shake.

You know why so many teens commit suicide? It's because the world is dark, cold and cruel place with a few happy moments tossed here and there. Life is a bitch with a 14 inch strap on. People say "oh it will get better" well you know what, it doesn't! Maybe for some but not for all. Life is unfair and then you die. Killing yourself is the best way (in my opinion) to actually be free of pain. It's the ultimate "fuck you"
