For the past 3 years of my life, I have suffered with severe depression, and annorexia. It's not like I wanted to loose weight, it just happened. I was getting thin, and no-one seemed to notice it. I was cutting, and had tried multiple times to bleed myself to death, but I just ended up passing out, then waking up later. Then, out of habit, one day I started watching DRRR. Watching and listning to the intertwined tales of the characters left me enraptured. Especially Orihara. His lessons taught me that life, sometimes isn't as bad as I thought it was. That people have secrets, and lies, and problems. But that shouldn't stop you from living. So, after that day. I told my mom what was going on. I refused to have professional help, but with the help of my mom, I am here; healthy and alive.
I just wanted to say thanks to DRRR and the DOLLARS for saving my life.

I'm really glad that you're back to yourself as a healthy person :D I highly depend on this website for help a lot. I don't know what I would have done with life if i never found this website or even bothered to watch Durarara!

First of all the lsesson of the thought that the world isn't bad you think it is is both from izaya and celty, though celty is more caring for it than izaya. Not saying izaya is not right on his point but could have sugar coat the message a little.

Second, I comend you for embracing this change in your life. I too was depress but soon got out of it, not cause of DRRR, and wouldn't be as strong as you right not. At the time i wanted to get professional help but after ignoring for it a awhile my parents didn't sign me up to profession care, only consider it. I soon started to fake my recovery making friends and acting more peppy for people to hang out with me so no one would worry about me and slowly i started to become happier but i just didn't feel right.

After I watched Black Butler, I realized I was the only one that though these things because i never understood what was going on, on the outside people were caring for me, paying for stuff we didn't need and taking us out on out-of-state vacation trips i took for nothing.

When I was watching DRRR i felt different. Everything I knew before felt wrong. I always wanted to be the top student, top dog in class and have everyone look at me during speeches. Than i realized that i can't be that person because everyone else is already taken that role. And is that wrong? Now i feel content that I don't have to be original or to stand out. I already stand out in my own way and it's ok not to know everything about everyone.

I always wanted to have a perfect family and always pressured me and my family to perfect like settle conflicts and tention between the family. Help my sister change her grades and do better in school and stop my parents from fighting. But now i come to accept that conflict and tention and know at the end we are still a family with secrets and we still love each other no matter have much we hate one another.

Durarara also welcomed me to the dollars and now i actually have a way of social media that feels somewhat safe and I feel more contempt going on this website everyday with people who will always answer back no matter how long I don't use the website.

Thank you Durarara.

DRRR came around when I had lots of struggles with my life.

I had lost my best friend due to having an alternate personality on the internet, pretending to be someone better, someone more involved then me. that person, who didn't exist took me over like a drug, I wanted to escape and get away and before I realized it i had been found out.

Losing over 90% of my friends because of this simple idotic plan of mine I fell into a depression. Feeling like I should either run away or end it all.

and then I watched DRRR I felt a personal link to every single person in that anime. I pitied them as much as I admired to be like them.

the main thing about it all was that Mikado had a secret life of his own, the dollars. I related so much to him and was afraid kida would abandon him with the secret finally out. But even then in the darkest times anri and kida were still there for him, and that meant alot to me. More then I could've possible imagined.

It makes me smile to see anime having this much of an impact on peoples lives. It did to me as well, so; BUMP.

Thank you. Even though I've gotten professional help, it still hurts. The feeling of no-one loving about me, and all the insults people called me still cause me to cry at night and cut once in a while. But now I have someone to stop me and hug me. I have a great boyfriend. (I'm a boy too) named zero. Hence the username. Thanks again and I hope that everyone will get better. If you ever need to talk to anyone, then just post it on this thread. I'll be happy to answer. And although I love humans and their reactions, I hate seeing people hurt. So please feel free to post your troubles here.

Durarara made me realize that life is more than what I see. Before I was always pessimistic and bitter towards the world due to the hard, tragic life I've had. Durarara taught me to look beyond the mundane and to realize that there is more to life then infinite sadness.

In order to escape the mundane, you must keep evolving. Whether you go up or down doesn't matter.

This is just plain awesome!, you have all my respect for realizing that there's still hope

Thank you very much, Kuro-kun~ and remember, life isn' t as bad as you think.

Can someone help me?
It hurts still. My mom just died in a car accident. And I can't stop cutting. No-ones here to stop me because everyone is dead. Please help me.
Please
Please
Please.

>>11 Jesus christ, you should really go see somebody.

I would, if there was anyone left to see.

>>13
>Doctor
>Friend
>Teacher
>Relative
>Help line

Any of the above would be suitable, just not random internet people.

Please at least let me talk to some people.
I'm now officially an orphan. An orphan.
My mom didn't deserve to die. It wasn't her fault!
I should have died. It was my fault, I was the one blasting the music and yelling at her.
It,a my fault she didn't see the ice.
The last thing I said to her was that I hated her. But really, I love her.
I don't have any friends never had never will.
I can't afford a doctor.
No-longer in school.
No relatives in the family still alive.
And last time I got help from a help line,
I, I gave him my phone number, and agreed to meet up for some face to face councelling.
He grabbed me and raped me.
It was my first time kissing even.
I'm a boy for the record.
Please just let me talk to you.
Please.
The only reason I even have my ipod is because of an early Christmas gift from... Mom.
Please. It hurts so much. The only time I feel happy is when I loose so much blood I feel like blood.
I just want to die. Please just let me talk to you.

Guys, before being shit and bumping it again, read this:

If you still believe them, you're retarded.

Who knows who's telling the truth and who's lying. But lets just change the topic and get back onto the initial reason why this thread was formed. How Durarara changed our lives.

Hey guys, I just want to say thanks for all your wisdom and responses, because of these threads I was able to give advice to my friends which I probably would have never thought of, this probably isn't the place to post this but thank you everyone ! :)

Durarara... I can't quite say how well it's helped me or anything, or just how it's changed my life yet. I do appreciate the fact that I'm able to make buddies and such via chatroom, and talking with them does cheer me up a lot and make me feel less lonely. I mean, not that I am lonely! I'm definitely not lonely! I'm really lucky, in fact. I have a loving mom and little sister, and an endearing uncle.

I guess Durarara made me see life from a different point of view, it made me count my blessings more often and realize how lucky I was to have them.

Friends, family... these are things I've learned to not take for granted because there could be someone out there wishing for a parent or someone to love while I'm here yelling and complaining about how annoying my parents or friends can be.

Watching such an anime made me realize just how unbearable it'd be to be alone, and seeing things from such a perspective isn't just interesting... it makes you wonder what would happen next if an event came along and swept up that lonely person in it.

Durarara... oh you make me all philosophical-kinda.
