about

I am an inspired 16 year old who is looking for a career in giving advice. I have been around the block a few times and I am an expert on a wide variety of personal topics. I'm unique, outgoing and I love art and music. I also enjoy playing my guitar.

advice

alright well whenever i get upset i feel the need to cause myself pain. sometimes i do and sometimes i just cry. and i used to cut but i dont anymore and im never going to again so that will not be a way of hurting myself...but i want to know if there's anyway to control these feelings. i really dont want to end up hurting myself badly. but i get upset do easily...i dont know im just so confused.

This is such a common feeling, and I for one have and still do occationally feel the need to inflict pain on myself, especially when I cause pain to other people. I keep all my feelings inside, and then finnaly they all just catch up, and I feel like I'm going to explode. A good and mature way of handling a situation like yours is to write down everything your feeling, anything that has happened, anything that you don't want to say to anyone outloud. Find a good hiding spot for your thoughts and jot down occationally how you feel. I am extremley emotional, and I will break down because of very little things, but it's because of all these pent up feelings. If you find a way to vent, besides hurting yourself...(even if you burn what you write after) in a safe place of course, you will feel as if a weight is lifted off your shoulders. Another thing you could consider would be consulting your parents about a psycologist or social worker that you could communicate with. Everything is totaly personal, and they have no right by law to repeat anything you say unless you or another are in danger.

I really hope i helped, because I know many people, including me, that have the same problem you do. Please let me know how it goes, and good luck.
