Sadness

[Synyster Shadows]

I'm not sure if this goes here so, mods, feel free to move it as you see fit.

Is it bad like making myself sad? Like, I write a ton of depressing stories where i'm hated by everyone and bad stuff happens to me. I also do other things that makes me sad, mainly talking to old friends. It makes me sad cuz I know I may never really see them in person again. I really like doing this to myself. I can't really describe why. I guess it's almost like cutting, but without the scars and blood. I can't cut cuz I always wear T-shirts so it'd be more than obvious. I don't know why I like doing this. Somebody, please explain to me what the hell is happening.

To me it is a sign of being depressed over deeper issues in your life. Can I suggest you try and find a trusted friend, family member or someone else you trust in 'real life' who knows you who you can talk about this with? Since they know you, they would be able to give you the best advice as to what you can do. That could be seeing a doctor to see if they can diagnose a condition you may have. Or it could be to see a therapist or something like that. Basically what i'm saying is that you don't have to keep feeling like this and there are avenues you can take that may help you. All the best.

This happens to me too, not as much now but more when I was younger. I'm not really sure why but it probably has something to do with a lack of self confidence or maybe self hatred. It does sound like some form of depression though and it's like a mental sort of self harm.

How should I tell my parents about this? They think I'm absolutely fine, well as in not being depressed.
Somebody suggested writing a note. Good idea?

I think there might be an underlying problem that might need to be discussed with someone. Something you're holding in is manifesting itself in the way you've described.

Try and see if you can get set up with a school counselor. I did that last year and it helped out a lot. I just told my dad how I was feeling one night when we were kicking back watching TV. I'm glad they know because they do little things to make me feel a little better, like a kiss on the head from my mom or a pat on the back from my dad.
