I Appreciate Honesty

I'll be honest with you and myself. Recently, when I feel down, I've been having thoughts about self-harm. Few days ago, I was holding a knife at my room. I wanted to cut my thigh. I really wanted to. At that point, bleeding seemed so comforting, somehow. I dropped the knife at the last moment. I asked myself.. what's the point? Like why do I have to punish myself like that? I've never had such dark thoughts before now, not even in my teens.

We are all susceptible to depression. It knows no boundaries. No age, gender or race. You're not the first to have these kinds of thoughts, and sadly, you won't be the last. With the right treatment though, you can push through this , and hopefully those feelings will go away. You just need to seek help from someone who works in the medical profession and who knows a thing or two about treating this kind of depression. I hope you can do that, and that everything works out.
