I Think I need some help. I have been  struggling with wanting to harm myself and I have been feeling like I am not good enough. I feel like I am wasting people time. I don’t know what to do

    Hi There 

    Well done for reaching out for some help - that takes a lot of courage and shows how strong you really are :heart:

    You will never be wasting people's time, no matter how it may feel to you. You are so important and deserve to feel safe and supported, always. 

    I think @Past User shared some great links to support above. In the meantime, if you would ever like to talk about things more on the boards, we will always be around too. I will also pop some links to further support in the spoiler below, just incase you would like them. 

    Take good care - we are all here for you :heart:

    Hey @Past User it sounds like things have been pretty tough for you at the moment, so sending lots of hugs your way!

    It's positive that you have taken the step to reach out here, you mentioned that you have been having feelings of wanting to harm yourself, as @Past User and @coc0mac linked please make use of the resources when you are ready and if you feel that you are unable to keep yourself safe you can call 999 or go to your nearest A+E.      <3 

    Just to explore your situation further, do you feel suicidal currently? It's not an easy thing to talk about but you are doing really well!

    Do you want to talk more about why you feel worthless and not good enough? These are some pretty tough feelings to be dealing with. You are never wasting The Mix's time and our services are always here to support you.

    Also, have you ever spoke to anyone else about how you are feeling?      <3

    “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
