Sorry to bother ppl but I need advice. I’m 14 and I live in Scotland, I have a okayish family and I drink, vape and self harm. I was actually 2 weeks clean for sh and i relapsed, I feel so guilty and idk what to do.

TW: Suicide
I thought it was okay, but I ended up writing my suicide letters to my family and friends, I’m actually so numb I can’t stay here anymore, is there anything I can do to not kms.

    hey @Penny 🙂

    firstly, i just want to check you’re feeling safe at the moment? you’re such an important person and deserve support!

    i’m really sorry you’re feeling like this, but i want you to know you’re not alone. relapsing doesn’t erase the progress you made, it just means you’re struggling, and that’s ok. it doesn’t mean you won’t get better. i know things feel overwhelming right now, but you deserve help and support. please, if you can, talk to someone you trust, a teacher, counsellor, or helpline. you don’t have to go through this alone. we all care about you, and we are all here if you need to talk about anything!

    if you’re feeling unsafe, it’s important you get the help you need and deserve - you can call 111 / 999 or go to a&e - i know sometimes calls can be scary, and it’s totally ok if you feel that way, you can also text 111 / 999 too.

    i’m going to add some helplines here in case you need them:
    childline (24/7) - call 08001111

    shout (24/7) - text ‘shout’ to 85258

    samaritans (24/7) - call 116123

    papyrus (24/7) - call 08000684141

    that’s a really good step to take @Penny - i hope that it goes well for you and that you get the support you need and deserve!

    i know it can be super hard to share such difficult feelings with people, so just in case it might be helpful for you, childline have a whole page around visiting your doctor - i’ll link it here: https://www.childline.org.uk/info-advice/bullying-abuse-safety/getting-help/visiting-your-doctor/

    i’m really proud of you for taking that step <3

    Thanks for reaching out here @Penny as that takes a lot of courage and bravery to reach out. I can imagine how things must be for you right now and I bet its super stressful and worrying as well. I hear that you have recently been struggling with relapse and I wanted to say that sometimes it can be okay if you do have a day when you feel like you relapsed because we are human and eventhough we may feel like we are on a good streak and feel bad for relapsing, it shows that we are still human and still trying our absolute best. I can tell that your trying your very best right now and that you do feel guilty. Please dont feel guilty about this because it is okay to feel this way right now. I also hear that you might be going to your doctors to chat about how you've been feeling. I agree with what @shannon_164 mentioned as this sounds like a very good first step to take. It's going to take small baby steps and it may be a long journey but eventually I know you will get there, it's just going to take some time to figure things out. You deserve as much support as you need right now. Im always here if you need anything in the mean time.


    Sending hugs,

    are you safe rn? pls remember your not alone in this and there is help out there. childline are rly gd for young ppl so maybe chatting to them abt your situation bc when i was able to use them they helped a lot. <3
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸
