Any help?

[Jackhoar24]

Well i think this is the right place to put this but move it if its wrong.

Recently i have been very upset and down, and im not sure what to do with myself. For the last few months i have started to cut myself pretty much every day on my arms and legs. Just to get my mind off the things which are going on in my life. I'm always crying and i am just fed up with school and just dont want to go there anymore it is a waste of time and is just full of self centred *******, who take the mick out of anyone just because they are a little different. My family are just annoying me so much and dont understand that i sometimes need to be left alone to sort things out and that they dont help but they just wont listen at all. I have seriously considered commiting suicide as i just dont feel like my life is worth anything i keep trying to look on the bright side at get these thoughts out of my head but it just wont work. I just hate myself so much the way i look and my personality i just wish i wsnt the way i am.

Is there anyone who has any advice on how to gt those thoughts out of my head and how to sort out some of those problems.

Thanks

Jack

You need to talk to someone jack

Your keeping all of your feeling inside and its eatting you up

you have to find a really good friend of a school guidance counsler to talk to about this

this depression is just going to get worse unless you get the help you need

If you talk to you mom do you think the mabye she will understand and try and get you help?

Dude, I feel for ya. The healthy way to help release this energy, is to talk about it, to express it, and to turn all that negative energy into positive energy. Talk to someone *** I really suggest this for anyone because having someone that knows can help you because they can call you out on it and help just talk and be there for you. Also, have you tried artisitic relief? through drawing, music, and everything like that. Anything that helps you. As long as its safe, its positive.

Also, you need to work on self love. You hate your persnonality and looks is not good. Talk about it, embrace it, and find a way to be happy.

On top of it all, I suggest therapy because a professional can help you so much.

Hi Jack,

We talked a bit at UTF, i'm glad we can continue here.

As always, you're getting some really good advice here from Addison and Lou, let me add my little voice to the chorus here: The problem isn't so much that you have these feelings and awful urges, it's that you can't release them. You need to get them out, get the feelings out properly, by talking with someone who's both kind and trained. Get to a therapist, all you will feel is better. Tell someone what's going on for you and show them the cuts.

I also see you're from Cambridge. Isn't that the same Cambridge as the Uni? That's a pretty impressive place, I think it might be helpful for you to walk around there, and see all the other older teens who are there, be a part of the campus, just sorta *be there*, it might help you gain a perspective for tomorrow, something to work for and look forward to and participate in. Very often, people get so down and so overwhelmed that they forget there's a tomorrow at all. Sometimes, experiencing what could be the next step in your growth and evolution might give you the hope you need to get thru today.

But for now, get to a doctor, and start making today better.

Thanks for all of the help guys :)

I have talked to my mum about it and she tried to help but she really didnt understand the situation so wasnt much help.

I have never tried artisitic relief i suppose it is another thing to try i suppose :)

Also true that i have to think for tomoro and i should go and see cambridge uni a bit more as my sister is there now i could go and see what it is like.

And with the therapy what exactly do they do and is it really worth giving it a go?

Jack,

I think therapy would be a great thing! It would give you a place to explore these feelings and urges, figure out why you;'having them, and find other ways of dealing with them. And, you'd be with someone who is supportive and caring and warm and emotionally available to you. No downside at all!

So, yes! I think you should have a go at it. Tell your folks you want to try, make this happen for yourself.

Ok then i will try and give it a go and see what happens :)
