Hi @m1ssunderstood

 

I know how you feel because I do the same. I found out that talking to a teacher that you trust the most and tell them exactly how your feeling maybe they can make a way to find a way for you to stop self harm. Would there be a reason for self harm?

Hey @m1ssunderstood, welcome to the RO forums.

 

I'm sorry to hear that you're having a really tough time at the moment. I'm wondering what you mean by mental pain - could you elaborate on that a bit so that we can understand what is going on for you right now a little better?

 

It sounds self harm has been a coping mechanism for you. This thread has heaps of ideas for alternative coping strategies and things to do as a distractions from urges to self harm. ReachOut also has lots of resources dedicated to information on self harm. Would you feel comfortable checking these out?

 

Is there anyone that you could speak to about how you have been feeling? I see that you are based in the US, so it may be difficult for us to suggest services that are local to you, as this is the Austalian ReachOut. Would you feel comfortable having a chat to your physician? They may be able to give you a referral to a mental health professional.

 

You are absolutely not alone - we are here to listen and support you. Please check back in and let us know how you are doing.

Hey @m1ssunderstood thanks for reaching out to us on here. 

 

I'm sorry to hear you've been having such a hard time, I can see things have been going around in circles for you. Dealing with mental pain isn't easy but you don't have to do it alone, there are a lot of resources and ways you can seek help but I just want to get a better idea of what you're going through so I can recommend something appropriate.  Could you tell us a little bit more about what you're going through? Have you spoken to anyone about how you're feeling?

Hey @Stealth_ninja

 

I just read one of your messages and woundering if you could help me out.

Thinks at high school have not been great at all. One of my fav teachers left the school and she is the only one I could trust.

Me and my friend had a email fight and don't know if we are friends now. And mum wont let me talk to my cousins by email or over the phone. 

Would you be able to help?

Hey @Cray cray202, that sucks that things are going well at school. With the teacher leaving, how come you feel you can't trust any of the other teachers that are still there?

 

That's unfortunate that you have had a fight with your friend, do you have anyone else that you can talk to about it, just to vent? Also when you have a minute, have a look at this information page here to see if this helps you with this situation.

Hi @Zekk

 

The only reason that I feel like I can't trust anyone is because they don't care and they don't really tell me anything or help. I don't really have anyone else to really talk to.

Hiya @Cray cray202, would you feel comfortable creating a new thread about your experience? That way other people will be able to see your post a bit easier and offer some support.

 

Is there a reason your mum won't let you talk to your cousins? Maybe if you let her know you're not feeling great and the support of your cousins really helps, she will be open to letting you communicate with them.
