    Hey. Welcome to the site

    have you gone to your Gp about how youre feeling? They maybe able to help as shouldnt have to deal with this alone. 

    Im sorry youre struggling:( i self harm so understand is horrible thing & i was just literally reading this, awhile ago -that i found from this site https://www.themix.org.uk/mental-health/self-harm/self-harm-coping-tips-and-distractions-5696.html which maybe helpful for you aswell. Have you tried holding an ice cube? That is painful & get the same feelings as self harming but it is a less harmful way. -  For something that is a more of a temporary relief

    I think feeling like you dont fit anywhere is a common feeling and probably most people feel it some point. It can feel really lonely. But youre not alone with that feeling. 

    I know i have felt it loads of times. Esp when i feel like am being judged and feelike am different so become more introvert. So then hard to make friends
    But We are all unique so you have to
    accept, love yourself and be kind to yourself even when you feel like others arent    .
    Do you have any interests? Maybe could actively find more people similar to you, so feel can fit in & make friends. 

    Hope youre feeling a bit better today. 

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Aw that doesnt sound nice of them to run away from you:(. Have you told your ‘friends’ how that makes you feel?  And tell them you dont find it funny?



    & im sorry that youve been bullied:( some people can be horrible but I wouldnt let it put you off going to other places or clubs. There are many nice people
     but they sound like lovely great interests to have <3
