burning

[thegentlemaninblack]

hello... i dont cut... i burn... specificly a skewer/toothpick tipped with an ember stabbed into my body. i was wondering what i should do.... my parents dont know... my sisters dont care... i dont know what to do

[xXJust Jump ItXx]

Could you maybe talk to a school councilor? Thats a possible way to go... Im not sure of many other things...

school councilers just judge and call me insane, thanks for the suggestion though

You could try talking to a counselor of some sort, a parent, other family member, even a friend. I know it's hard, there's a lot of people who have dealt with self harm here on VT, but we're here to help too. We can't help as much as a person there in real life, and I would recommend telling someone you trust to help you through it too, regardless of who that may be. If they really love you and care about you they won't judge you and will try and help you through it.

EDIT: If a school counselor has judged you for it and refused you help, that's not right. It's a part of their job to help you, they're trained to help with this kind of stuff, and if they are just tossing you off and calling you "insane"--which you're by no means insane simply because you self harm--then they are not doing the job they are supposed to do..

my ex girlfriend helps me alot... but my parents dont care... nor my sibilings

If your family doesn't care, then fuck them. There are people who do, you just said your ex girlfriend helps you a lot. Focus on the ones who DO care, not the ones who don't. The ones who do care are the ones who are willing to help you through this, as hard as it may be.
