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.

We all feel depressed sometimes and feel like we dont deserve to live. People might not admit it, but it happens, even for a second. But you DO have a reason to live, thats why God made you. We all are here for a reason, and to fulfill our destiny. If you kill yourself, how are you supposed to do that? Think about how your friends and family would feel if they knew you were hurting yourself, and if you died. They obviously care about you, and dont want you out of your lives. Stay stong, and God bless.

Last may my dad was cheating on my mom with my best friends mom. In june me and my other friend (lets call her C.) well we both started cutting ourselves, she only did it once.. i did it multiple times. The last time i did it, was when i had found out my moms sister, had gone missing. I told C, and she said she had told her mom and she said that if i kept doing it that we wouldnt be able to be friends anymore. I promised her that i would never do it again and to this day i have kept my promise. My parents stayed together although im not friends with my 'best friend' anymore. It took a huge amount of courage for me to post this but i just want everybody to know that It Gets Better. Trust me. check out katy perry's music video for Firework. it is very inspiring. <3 <3

 

Cutting is never the answer. Thanks for sharing that cutting does not help anything, is not OK and your life will get better and not always seem as bad as it may seem now.

OK, I met this boy this summer lets say his name is Zach and he really really liked me, but I had a boyfriend at the time. Me and my boyfriend eventually, like all teenage relationships, broke up. Then Zach steps in and he was there for me I cried to him on the phone and he made me feel better. Zach now is telling me how he feels about me, how he loves me and everything, but I don't feel the same way. I look at him like my Best Friend or a brother. He's hasn't been a cutter in a year until now because of me! He said because I don't like him, he cuts himself. I feel horribly bad and I don't know what to do!! And don't say talk to a counselor or parent!

 

Hey girl,

This is a really serious and difficult situation. I know you said you didn't want to talk to a counselor or parent, but I do think you should consider doing that - this is not something that you should have to deal with alone. I would try talking to Zach and explain to him that you really do like him as a friend and feel horrible that he is cutting. Talk to him about your feelings and how much you do want him in your life as a friend. Tell him it makes you sad to hear that he's cutting himself, and you don't want to ruin your great friendship by becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. If you feel like you aren't getting through to him, talk to his parents about the situation. This is too serious for you and him to deal with on your own. I hope things go well!
