ill be entering the contest tomorrow at school and hopefully I’ll win!! Even ignore I don’t I’ll still have gotten my writing out into the world
Ive started self harming again and can't figure out what's caused it
I can't sleep I've lost weight and im still losing cuz I don't eat and I dont know what to do!!
All i wanna do is die!!!
Please help!!
All I can think is if I end it all
The pain,guilt and hate will go away and I won't hurt anymore and that people would be happier without me around
I'm afraid of myself at this point all I can think ate scary things I thought were gone but they came back..but don't want to hurt my family.. But to me its the only way out ,the only escape from pain and hurt ... I want to give up so bad
And I don't know what to do to get help or what to do to be me again
It can be hard to pinpoint exactly what causes things like urges to self-harm or other coping mechanisms. Sometimes we can get very low without there being a clearly identifiable reason - lots of 'little' things can pile up and make life more difficult to get through. Although it's frustrating and can sometimes make us feel a bit guilty, it's nothing to beat ourselves up over.
It would be amazing if recovery were a straight road with no bumps, but the reality is it's more of a twisty-turny (definitely a word) one, and relapse is almost always a part of that. It doesn't make you a fool - it makes you human. Your feelings are valid and it's okay for these things to happen. It sucks, but it's okay.
If you find those harmful thoughts becoming overwhelming and you need some urgent support, Crisis Text Line have a service based in Canada, reachable 24/7. Kids Help Phone are also an option for more general support, contactable via phone or webchat.
Are there any practical things we could talk about that might help you feel a bit safer over the next few days? Is there anything you find can help calm you down in those intense moments, or anything you find therapeutic more generally?
It's awesome to hear about the writing contest, by the way - keep us posted on that.
I haven’t told my bf and I feel like if I tell him things will go down badly he’ll blame himself and I can’t live with that...
i am beyond upset and lost and confused and mad and feel worthless
