This doesn't happen all the time. Only when I am stressed about something. When I am stressed about something, I feel as if life is hopeless, I feel as if I am worthless, I feel as if I can never improve my life. Then suicidal comes up to my mind. It's like EVERY time I'm depressed, I'll think of suicidal. But I don't REALLY wanna die, but I just wanna pass out or just get really sick and bed-ridden, just to see who really cares. I did try some things before, like choking myself with wires, drinking detergents, and I almost stabbed myself with a knife a few years ago. Idk if this is usual in depression stage. Is it normal or do I actually need help?

    It is normal for people to go through hard times. Don't hurt yourself, you could die and regret it forever because you will be forever cursed, possibly in Hell because it is a sin. It will get better. Just talk to your true friends and family about how you feel.

    If you don't want to die, you shouldn't be trying to harm yourself. It might happen that you succeed in killing yourself.

    Instead of wanting to get sick to see who really cares, you should ask for help.

    That doesn't sound like a healthy way to live. You admit that you don't truly want to die, but self-harm, even if death isn't the goal, is a sign of problems that need addressing -- stat.

    Sounds racially motivated.
