Hey loastandalone, welcome to TheSite
It sounds like you've had a really tough run of it over the years and it can be difficult for people around you to understand what you're feeling and tiring trying to communicate what's going on for you. It's not wonder you feel worn out with it all.
There are plenty of people here that have been through similar emotions, you're certainly not alone and you've come to the right place to get support, we won't judge you here *hug*
Don't be afraid to start your own new thread if you'd like to and all the best with the new school. If you haven't seen it already we have loads of info here on TheSite about self harm - coping tips and distractions, first aid, steps to recovery and more, here's the link: http://www.thesite.org/healthandwellbeing/mentalhealth/selfharm
for the past two years i have been self harming but for the past couple of months i have stopped but instead i have ended up with ten piercings and they are all above my shoulders. i dont know why but the pain i feel when i self harm takes the pain i feel inside away but when i get a piercing i like the pain and feel as though i have to have it because i deserve to feel that pain. why am i like this ?! i seem to be addicted to pain!!
I hope I helped at least a little bit.
Im new to this site because i want to share my thoughts on depression and self harm, im sure my case is severe and just want to know im not alone...:no:
Welcome to The Site :wave:
Have you thought about waving hello in the 'Introduce Yourself' section? We're a friendly bunch on the site and you might find thats a better place to say hello to the other members. You should get some nice replies in there.

Also, as your new to the forums you may not have navigated around the rest of the site fully. Based on what you've said it might be worthwhile checking out the Health and Wellbeing section. The link for that is below, it has loads of info on things such as depression. There's some good resources and great member stories.

Try checking out both links and remember to keep posting.
There's always someone hear to offer some advice and comfort.
