Hi everyone. I'm thirteen, and I have been struggling with suicidal thoughts and self-harm on and off for a long time now. I really want to stop, but nothing seems to work.
I cut because it relieves stress, I like the sight of blood, and it's a way to punish myself for being stupid. I feel like it's the only thing keeping me from suicide.
Speaking of suicide, I think about that a lot. But it is only a thought now, and I haven't acted on it yet.
I have two counselors and do not like either of them. I have been trying to convince my mom to let me try something else or see a different counselor because they aren't helping. But she always says it is helping and I just don't realize it. (No, that isn't true. I don't like them and they do not help me!!)
I don't feel like I have anyone to talk to or someone to understand me. The only person who is actually helping is my girlfriend. Not my counselors or anyone else.
The other thing that concerns me is how to hide the scars . . . are there any other ways to hide them other than wearing a sweatshirt all the time? I tried using bracelets and concealer, but those don't cover them up well enough.
I guess what I'm asking is, what else can I try to stop myself from cutting and also stop thinking about suicide? And how can I cover up the scars?
Thank you! (link)

Hello sweetie :)
I would suggest to hang out with people you enjoy. Sometimes friends are the only ones who understand us,have fun do things you like, this might sound weird but i think you should record how long you can go without having suicidal thought or cutting. Each time try and try to go as long as you can try to get your mind off of it. And if your mother does not understand then talk to her, i mean REALLY talk to her. Tell her that if you want to get over thinking about suicide then this is not the way to go. Tell her that things are just getting worse and your counselors make you think more and more about suicide because they are not helping at all, make her understand. And if you want to hide the scars the best way to do that would be to stop cutting. As tempting as you might feel, you're going to have to fight the feeling.(Ha might fight that rhymed ;) okaay im lame :/) Whenever you want to cut think about your girlfriend and how much you like or love her. Think about how she would not want you to do this to yourself. I hope everything works out. Please keep me updated on what happens :) I hope everything works out.
XOXOXO
