For the past 3 years I've been suicidal. I cut for a year, but then it all stopped for 4 1/2 months when I met this guy—he became my boyfriend. Now we're broken up and I’m back to having these thoughts again. I’m really scared ‘cuz they’re stronger than before...I’m scared that I will actually go though with it. The thing is, my ex (that stopped the thoughts for a while) doesn’t know I’m suicidal. I’ve only told two people that I am, but one of them (my own mom) says its normal for a teenager to be emotional. But it’s not just that, I actually wanna die most days...I need help.
