I don't know what to do anymore. I'm so stressed out and sad. I hate myself and my life. I'm at the stage where I'm applying for uni and trying to manage school work. I hate my body. The thing is I look at other people's lives and envy them. The girls who are slim, pretty, have a boyfriend, get great grades and have a great group of friends. I envy that. I know the advice I'll get. 'Oh be happy with who you are'. 'Oh their lives aren't perfect either'. The thing is I have none of the things they have, not one. I hate myself for envying them. I'm on the verge of giving up because I can't cope with the stress.

You know that you're going to hear the typical 'oh it'll be okay' talk and to be honest, I'm not going to give you that talk because that isn't what you want to hear and it won't help anyway. But, the thing is, if you have self motivation you end up getting distracted from the other people that you think you need to be like, have you ever wondered what it'd be like being someone else? To be honest, it would suck. Stop trying to be something and someone you're not and learn to accept that you are actually good enough. Have you ever thought about meditating or things like that? That is so de-stressing and you might actually like it. It's not even hard to do either, you just have to dedicate some time to it. You do get to know yourself and your body that way too, which is something I know you don't want to do but actually it might help with body acceptance. Self harm won't be the answer to all your problems and self harm isn't going to fix anything, all it's ever going to do is maybe make you feel a little better but even that's only short term. If you want something long term, and something that in the future helps, self harm isn't it. Take things day by day, don't rush it. I know it's not easy, but that doesn't mean that it isn't achievable.

I have problems with envy too. I am autistic and very much an outsider. I want to one of the ordinary kids so bad sometimes and I feel like such a misfit. But... Then I think of those who would give anything to trade places with me; the chronically ill, the starving, the severely disabled etc.
And I realize that I have been given a pretty good life after all.
