Discussion what are some of your quiet cries for help?

[peerlesscucumber]

I, myself, tend to be very careless around people when it comes to my sh aftercare. i never flash anyone my scars, but the oddly placed baindaid here or maybe a loud complain about how my wound desinfectant runs out soooooo quickly there never lack.
plus i also tend to throw around some "back when i tried =attempt=" or maybe a first person slip when narrating an attempt or sucidal thought.

maybe i come off as attention seeking or edgy, but i won't deny im any of these anyways

does anyone else do this?

Ironically enough my "cry for help" is usually silence. When I'm doing better I'll usually be more explicit about what I'm going through and want to talk things through, so you'll know something's really wrong when I just stop talking entirely.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I don't cry for help anymore outside of here because if I do I just get hit with the same ol' "seek therapy", "go to the psych ward", "eat better", "exercise daily", "sleep 8 hours a day", "phone bad", etc. kind of junk.

 

[heavyeyes]

Not eating, not sleeping at all, self isolation. Usually I already isolate pretty heavily but it gets even worse on occasion

 

[potatocube]

I guess cancel events last minute without a good reason? Or even run away and ghost. Sounds like a coward lol

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I don't have any quiet cries for help

 

[Gangrel]

Silly jokes like "today is so bad i will jump into a volcano :) hehe", "wow this sucks i will hold a fork into the wall socket", "oh yay i hope a bus runs over me".

Writing Sanskrit verses invoking death for a year or two and sharing them online. A couple of friends did ask me if I was alright.

 

[HereTomorrow]

Until recently my cries for help were mostly vagueposting online or leaning on a friend and holding their shoulder.

Nowadays it's freezing, tensing up, or staring at someone I trust and hope they ask "Are you okay?", but even then I would mostly say I'm alright. I hope someone could see through me, begging, wishing to cry, just throwing my entire life's story at them and hoping they'd comfort me or help me process at least 2% of my trauma. I want someone to look at me and think "She needs support, but I don't know why.", but I've yet to perfect the look if I haven't done it subconsciously already.

Looking at people who interest me with this face whenever I go outside hoping they can hear my inner plea

I don't want any friend I made online to really know much about my struggles lol, so I tend to just avoid the topic or not talk to them altogether on days I'm feeling extremely depressed(like today).

 

[nux_walpurgis]

Starving

Showing no positive emotion whatsoever hoping someone will ask me if everything is alright

 

[etherealspring]

joking and laughing about how im doing shitty

 

[wallavenue]

Jokes about ending things that seem solely like jokes, but I fully mean them.

References to suicidal texts, songs, or poems.

Being somewhat open about my past.

Isolating.

It's not that I'm trying to attention seek. I just hate the idea that people would say, "We never saw it coming..!"

I'd rather mildly prepare them, so that it may change to, "It makes sense…" and I hope it makes the pill easier to swallow. I don't like lying; I'd rather not hide that I am suicidal.

 

[wCvML2]

I hate myself for doing it but what I had done on really bad days was reach out to my sister over the phone and have these very long drawn-out pauses without explanation. Just having her express worry because of a pause makes me too guilty to act on suicidal thoughts.

 

[metothemoon]

Most of the time I isolate, self harm, stop sleeping. However it seems like no one even notices or cares. And yet my cries stay silent. I just wish for someone to notice me.

 

[sugarb]

I have a terrible sleep schedule, I isolate myself, and I often go on walks by myself and/or leave the house at night. The last one I can't do as much anymore unfortunately

 

[anonymous101101]

Withdrawing from everyone and everything.

 

[-nobodyknows-]

Quiet? No, I get pretty "noisy". Ask people to spend time with me and stuff like that (way more than I usually do). Naturally I'm not going to tell them why I need them around, but… still. Definitely not going "quietly"

Relatable. I can often only ask for help when I have a clear idea of what the problem is and how other people might be able to help. By the time I've figured that out, I can usually solve the problem myself or realize (maybe sometimes mistakenly) that people can't really help with it.
