    My cat. She would show up every day at my door. IT was a little act, but it made a huge difference.

    I've got over with self-care. Just try to find something that you like and do it, or just do something nice for yourself. You'll learn how to love yourself.

    Don't do it, there are so many people who care about you and so many reasons to keep living. Sometimes it might not seem like it but there are things worth living. You just have to find them.

    I felt depressed because of other people's standards and the state of the world. I liked to use games like Minecraft and Animal Crossing a lot.

    I have yes, I got over it by ceasing to care. It was mostly bullies and anxiety and stressing about the future that caused it, but I got over it by spending time with my horse and deciding not to care what others think. "You're weird". Ok and? Is that my problem? Is it yours? Do I care? So what if I'm weird its not the end of the world bub.

    Self improvement. I went back to school finished my associates. Then got another associates and finally a bachelors degree. I got a good job immediately after graduation which paid 5 times what my previous part time job paid. I also got into running and lifting weights and racing in obstacle races. Between school work and exercising all my time was occupied.

    I haven't gotten over it, but to prevent myself from cutting my neck open, I talk to my friends and I forget about wanting to do it in some time. I don't really know if that'll work for much longer because we don't talk often anymore. I should probably find another way.

    Not suicidal but depressed mixed with a great amount of anxiety. Took me nearly two years to work my way out of it, with meds and a psychiatrist. Got my own place again - after I had to move back to my parents 'cause I was no longer able to take care of myself - started working again. Still feel it creeping up sometimes, but at this point I can handle it. I'm still on meds and I will never stop taking them, since that's something that helped me.

    Seek help - therapy and medication make a big difference and if one therapist or drug doesn't work for you, there are plenty more to try. When your body has lost the ability to sleep well or feel good, trying to force yourself to cheer up with self care doesn't feel very effective.

    There are people that would miss you, even if it seems like they wouldn't.

    I'm mostly over it. One of the things that helped was going to feed birds at a park. They landed on my hand and I realized how delicate life was. Also, my pets, who are always there for me.

    Yes I was, I've tried to kill myself countless times, but haven't succeeded. It was a combination of regret, depression, anxiety, and f*****g wanting to murder the son of a bitch who almost raped my girlfriend and caused her to move away and become anorexic and depressed. I still want to murder him, but I'm not suicidal anymore, and I can happily say that for the first time ever, I actually am enjoying life. My girlfriend helped me, and now we're able to see each other again. We've been dating for two years now.
