ADVICE | TOUGH STUFF

I want to hurt myself

 

I can't stop thinking about wanting to cut and committing suicide. Last year I was a cutter and I tried to commit suicide and I regret it still, but a part of me wishes I could do it again, except this time, I wouldn't get caught. I really thought I was over this but apparently not, and I don't want to tell my mom or a counselor. I need some advice on what to do.

 

This is a very serious matter, but it’s great that you’re trying to seek help. Realizing that hurting yourself is not the right move is huge, so props on knowing that you need to find another way to deal with what’s going on.

 

This is something that is much larger than you, and you can’t take it on all on your own. You need to tell someone you trust. And trust that they will not judge you but will help you in a way in which you will feel comfortable. This could be your mother or father or a teacher or counselor. But you need to tell someone.

 

This is not something you just get over yourself. Talking to someone will help you understand why you have these feelings and then you can go from there. It is a step in the right direction that you wrote for help, but talking to your mom or a counselor will make a huge difference, I promise.

MOD MOD MOD I cut and scratch myself, but...how can I hide my scars this summer? It gets really hot and humid so I can't wear long sleeves forever...maybe arm warmers or gloves

 

 

Hey girly girl, I know that you're asking how to cover up your scars, but the way that you got them is really concerning me. if you purposely self-harm, then I'd say that you need to talk to someone, or at least tell someone. That's NOT healthy at all, and rather than making your problems go away, I guarantee it will create more for you. Please, please talk to someone you trust about this... if not your parents, then a teacher that you trust or a guidance counselor.

I dont know you.
But you are an amazing person. Not worthing losing it. My dad commited suicide 8 months ago. My goal is to help people who are going through the same thing my dad did. You dont need to keep it all bottled up. Just know that someone always loves you. Suicide is never the answer. Its a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Keep living. (:
You never know you'll get relief from your problems if you commit suicide.

Someone Loves you.

I'm 12 and i'm kinda overweight for my age i'm also pretty tall. I always try to eat healthier and exercise more, but i always get distracted or just give up. When i started puberty i gained a lot of weight and i have these stretch marks on my inner thighs. So i can't wear shorts that a lot of my friends wear because my stretch marks will show. I play volleyball and i'm going to start going to a gym for teens. Sometimes i wish my life would end because all the girls that are skinnier always seem to be happier. Any advice would be helpful.




Hey girlie. First off, you are beautiful. Don't ever think you're not good enough. To be happy, you need to enjoy things that make you happy. If you aren't happy with your body, talk to your mom and doctor about measures you can take. Also, stretch marks are something almost all girls get. You can try using cocoa butter on them to reduce visibility. Take action to make yourself a happy you! Good luck- and remember- you are beautiful!

MODMODMODMODMODMOD-I have cut myself for about 2 months now,and i really want to stop.I have thoughts of suicide allot.I almost tryed the other day.My friend said if i cut myself again she would tell the principal. I don't know how to stop.Help.Thanks

 

 

Hey girly, I'm so, so sorry to hear this, and it really worries me. I'm glad that you know it's wrong, and want to stop. That's the first step.

Your friend is a good friend too, for wanting to tell someone. I think you need to talk to your parents, or another trusted adult about your problem. They can get you the help that you need to get on with your life and overcome this. Also, check out this site for support, information and other things to help you stop cutting...

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD I've tried to kill myself now 3+ times and everybody thinks I'm making excuses when I try to find what triggered my episodes. They all feel like I'm doing this for attention. Sometimes I just want to get away from it all and cut deep enough on my wrist to kill myself. But those have been my past attempts and my blood clots really fast. I'm really sick of living. I'm scared of myself and what my thoughts are capable of thinking and im really unstable and they won't hospitalize me because they think I'm doing this for attention and making a joke of a really serious matter. It really sucks and I'm scared and unhappy and I can't seem to get my point across without them thinking I'm making excuses. Besides, I was hospitalized before, and after that I felt really stable for awhile and I reallly feel like I need this right now. Hospitalization will help. Not one ER will admit me, and I'm really upset because I know it will help and clear my head. No one will.




Hey love, have you tried talking to the counselor at your school? If not, give this hotline list a look: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/04/HELP!2.aspx. There are numbers there that have been known to save lives. I know that you feel like the bottom is the only place you can go, but trust me, you can bounce back no matter how bad it feels -- I am a personal testament.
