Thank you very much again, I am very pleased to hear such words)

@Doshino
Life is certainly going to test you in the coming months and years, but I want you to do what is best for yourself. I can’t imagine how scary it must be for you right now, but stay strong. And be well.

@ZhaoZoharEX
Thank you for the words of support!
Now, I’m almost put up with my all problems in life, which i can’t decide. Im live in Ukraine and i have the only way out, leave the country when i turn 16 year’s old.
Im really don’t see any other way, im live in village, my the only friend left for Canada, and I’m sitting home all of the time without opportunities somehow develop. Now I am faced with a difficult choice, which I have no strength to make.
Maybe later everything will be fine, but now I’m in a difficult situation.

Hi there. I know I’m over three weeks late at this point, but I’m going to say this anyway because as someone who as both attempted suicide before and someone who has recently had to talk a friend down from it, it’s a serious subject to me. So even if you are doing better (and I truly hope you are, nobody deserves to feel like they need to end it), I hope someone who comes across this comes away at least marginally better.

Life is hard, I’m not going to lie to you or make promises I can’t deliver. It doesn’t matter who you are, no matter what faith you follow, no matter what your social status is, regardless of your background it can hit you even when you seem to have everything going for you for simply no reason. It’s simply one of those truths. And there is no shame in admitting it, the world is going through some major changes, be it the pandemic, the recession, the war in Ukraine, you have the right to feel sad and afraid of things.

But please don’t live in fear or anger or depression; don’t let it conquer you, you’re stronger than that. Show the world who you are and who you can truly be. If you go into an irrational scene with an irrational mind, you’ll get irrational results. When you find yourself in a stressful situation, one of the best things you can do is simply take a minute and breathe. Just focus on breathing, taking deep breathes in through the nose, pausing for a moment, and slowly draw out the breathe out (try to make the exhale last about twice as long as the inhale). When you’re calm you can think, when you can think you’re in control. Whenever you have the time, I recommend listening to a little record made by James Rolfe, aka The Angry Video Game Nerd. Meditation might sound silly, but it works, if nothing else than to distract you from the worries of life. So when the world is stressing you out, tell the world to go fuck itself.

I’m sure this all sounds like standard cliche motivational talk (and it probably is), but I want you to know that in this world where the internet has made everyone more connected than ever, you will find someone who cares about you and is willing to take the time to ask how you are and listen to your plight if you’re willing to seek the help. Everyone can benefit from therapy of some kind, be it professional (which I would recommend regardless of your situation), perhaps a friend who you trust, or even some stranger who might be going through something similar and you can bond over it.

I can’t promise things will improve immediately but to quote Rocky Balboa “It ain’t about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.”

On a similar note, I’m going to share a video that has helped me get through some of the toughest times in recent memory. It’s something I wish I was able to see back when I nearly ended my life, and it helped me when talking to a dear friend who almost did the same just a month or two ago. Whatever hardships life throws at you, remember to tell yourself the right story.

Hey man, I can’t imagine how life must be for you, but please don’t give up. Life can be terrible, but it can also be a beautiful thing.

Also nice art and animations :)

I thought about it, a lot of time.
I understand that after death there will be nothing.
I’m also trying to understand that it won’t always be this bad.
Now I’m 15 years old, things are getting hard,i trying to find hobbies and other things to do.
And I’m trying to control myself in this bad reality.
And sorry for my bad English, I’m live in Ukraine, and I missed a lot of English lessons in school

When people say “Life gets better” it might feel like a lie. But it is definitely true. Sometimes it’s hard to be that patient. The thought of life only getting worth living when you’re 26 might sound awful. But giving up before you get to that point, and missing out on 70 years of happiness sounds much worse.
It’s really impossible to tell when it’s going to happen, and giving an actual number is not helpful if someone else take until 27 or 28 or 33 to get to that point. It always feels like things are hopeless until you actually get there. And then you are just so glad you waited.

My life was bad, I made a risky change and things got better… And then they got worse. I went from living with one bad person, to living with another possibly worse person. I very nearly gave up. I felt trapped in a cycle. But two times is not an infinite cycle. I got away from that person and it took me a long time, but right now I am living well. I have the best friends and a stress-free life. I’m a good person, and I feel free. There’s just nothing to complain about. I’m 32 right now, not even half way through my entire life yet, and everything is going to stay good, or… Maybe things can get even better still?! It’s worth it to wait and see.

@ScarletHeartPony
Okay, I’m trying to found those people, but it’s hard enough

Things will get better. I’ll suggest talk it out with someone you personally trust that way it can be a lot more personable for your needs. ^.

@Ghostpikachu
Thanks for your words of support!
Yeah, I’m trying to make friends in reality, but it’s very difficult in my situation.

@Glimenade
Great song!

I know this feeling nothing at all as well. Never give up! Find someone where you can trust and share your fears with that person, ask for help. Dont be afraid to open yourselfe but dont do it around everyone, only with those where you feel they listen to you seriously and you really trust, it can help already just to let something out :3

@PinkieWK
Okay, thank you for information, and Satan method so interesting)

@Doshino
You’re very welcome. 🎩

@Glimenade
Tank you very much for words of support, and now i’m going to watch the video.

Dont touch that trigger! Pain, loneliness and darkness are part of the wild ride of life, with all its ups and downs. Without them life is truly nothing. You need to learn that when life becomes hell, then you need to become Satan and RAISE SOME HELL!!!

Listen to this.
