Someone please I think I need help
Comments
hi @nobody
welcome to the forums and its a brave thing for you to do to reach out for some help and support
these forums are really great so welcome aboard.
your a very strong, stornger than you may think
it does help to have a rant
i too am in a simialr situation to you so know your not alone in this
i self harm as well and no one knows about it at all- its easy to hide these when you dont want people to see.
i dont have a supportive family either so your not alone there either
i reccomend you speak to your school counsellor though to get abit of extra support. if you dont want to talk to a school counsellor then i have a big life of support line for you which ill add in a separate comment
feel free to ask anything you like, ill answer as much as i can to help you get through
but know you are being heard and we are here for you, helping you walk through these thoughts and feelings
i do have a few suggestions that you can do to help yourself
1. Self care- make sure you take care of yourself as well, take time out to do the things you like to do. even simple things as a nice relaxing bath, reading your favourite book, watching a funny move, giving your hands and feet a massage
2. Do the things your good at- try and do something you are good at ehihc im sure you have quite a lot- can you name the things your good at? hard i know as it requires thinging good about yourself but please have a go. keep tryng to improve in those areas and remember not everyone is good at everything- its impossible for that so dont be too hard on yourself. when continuing to do the things you like to do it will help keep your self esteem
3. try new things- try a new hobby, something you always wanted to try.. is there anythign you can think of that youd like to try? cooking class? art class? sports?, keep interested in life and exploring the world
4. dont give in to those suicide thoughts- use methods to help over come them such as:
Distractions- art, read a book, go for a walk, journal your thoughts, mindfullness, listen to your favourite music, colour in, come on here and chat out your thoughts, watch your fave movie, call a friend and have a chat to them about everyday life- you dont have to mention your thoughts- sometimes jsut talking to someone can help, scribble on paper, rip up some blank pieces of paper, write the negative thoughts out and then ri it up and do something you like to do
5, call a helpline- there are heaps of them and some of them have webchat as well ill list a few for you
put them in your phone and when you need some support, overwhelmed, sad, having troubles anything at all dont be afriad to connect with them, they are trained therapists therer to help you ok
6. Keep being around the people you find Care- this will keep you feeling something and not worthless which i can tell you your far from it. your life has meaning and even though it may not seem like it your only 13 and still have the rest of your life. if you can think like that then think when your 18 thats your way out and you can lvie your life however you like

Hey @nobody Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.
You sound like you are in an immense amount of pain. It also sounds like you have a lot of self-awareness and you know what it is you want and don't want to do. Which is amazing. You sound like an amazing person.
I get that you don't want to talk to your parents. Even the best parents in the world aren't always the best choice for the first conversation. But it sounds to me like you've worked out that you don't want to carry this weight alone anymore.
So who would you like to talk to? You got super close to talking to your art teacher, what stopped you?
Also, I don't know Grimm (I'm pretty sure you mean the show) but I think anything that helps people feel better or gets people through really rough times must be pretty freaking great. I'm so glad you have that and the people it's brought to you, in your life. Do you talk to them about what's going on for you?
Hey @nobody i thought I'd pop in and say hi too 🙂 we're here to chat more if you'd like. I think it's great that you've been courageous and taken the first step and talked about the tough stuff you're dealing with with us.
If you want some more one on one support then i'd also recommend checking out KHL. They're pretty great because you can call them or type to them on a chat thingy- if that's easier for you. You can check them out here. I think they're really great 🙂
