Question
Hey, i'm a 15 year old girl turning 16 n a few months. I'v never had confidence in myself and to be conpletely honest i kinda hate myself. I think im fat and ugly and i try to lose weight but nothings good enough.I'v never had a boyfriend in my life let alone had a guy tell me im pretty. My friends are pretty and they always have guys asking them out but i juss feel stupid hangin with them sometimes, like i dont belong. For the past few years i have resorted to cuttig myself. I'v only done it 3 times but i dont wanna go to counscling or anything cuz my parents and every1 will think im crazy i dunno what to do can you help me?
Answer
well. if you go to a counclier, NOBODY will think that you r stupid, trust me. i went to a counclier, and i told my friends and they understood. im not saying ur friends will, but no one said you have to tell them about it. and ur parents will be happy that you want to get help, going to a counclier doesn't make you a crazy look a like person. its just somewhere you can go to, to talk and work out your problems =D. they do help ALOT trust me. my counclier helped me to stop my cutting path and lead to a happier life with my family (i had fam. probs.)! and if you do end up going to a counclier, ill be sooo proud of u, but tell me how it goes! GOOD LUCK CHICK!

Answer
ok well there are lots of ways to cope with your sadness/frustration other than resorting to hurting yourself. what i would do instead was scream in a pillow.. sock a pillow, count to ten. listen to good music etc. if i got the temptation to cut.. i told myself NO.. self control. just say no =D! good luck hun!

Question
okay i have a problem.... i cut myself... and i dont know how to stop.. its just that i get all jittery and the room spins but as soon as i cut myself i feel normal again and i get a major high off of it.... i want to stop because i know that someone is going to find out and than my life wil be over... so i guess my question is how do i stop without my friends or family ever finding out???
Answer
maybe you can go to a school counclier and tell that what is going on. also inform them u want to get better, but you would like it to be kept from ur parents and friends knowing. they should respect that.
i really hope that u can overcome this and stop hurting urself! good luck kid.

Question
Ok, I'm 13 and I get really bad depression. I've had it for like over a year now. I forgot what its like to actually have true happiness. And I know most teens go throug this, but mines pretty severe. Like I never want to do anything anymore, I just dont care, I hate life, And most of the time I just feel like dieing. And like ver since I got it, its screwed up my life. I lost all my friends and havent really had any in like a year. It seems easy when people just say "start making new friends" or "find an activity you like doing" or try to be happy or whatever, but its so hard. I don't know what to do about my depression. Please help?
Answer
try going to the doctor and getting on anti depressants.. it will help the "happy juices" fill up or whatever (thats what my doctor told me) if u TRUELY want to stop being depressed, then anti depressants r the way to go. also maybe u can see a couclier and talk about why u r so depressed etc!
good luck babe! i hope ur happy soon! :-p

Question
im a cutter. i have scars all up and down my arm. only 2 people know about it. but every time i see my boyfriend i have to cover it up, and make sum sort of excuse. i HATE lying to him! i feel like i should tell him, but i dont want him to think im crazy and dump me! but like.. i cant stop cutting. its always been my way of calming myself down...
Answer
cutting is not a good way to calm yourself down. there are many other ways to cope with whatever you are dealing with!
now the boyfriend situation, tell him. if he really likes you and cares for u then he will still stay with you and try to help u stop cutting etc or whatever. he should be supportive!!!

Question
Alright tp start this off, i`m 14/female. For about a year or so, I`ve been so down and sad/angry all the time. I never smile anymore, or things that used to be a blast too me, is no fun anymore. I don`t like hanging out with any of my firends anymore. I just like being alone all the time. Well, a few months ago my mom and dad took me to a conselour because they were concerned about me and such. They just said I needed too be on anti-depressants. I didn`t start using them right away, just recently. Well, I`m cutting myself now. I know its really bad too do and I know how stupid I am for doing it, but It just feels so right when I do it. I really need too stop or talk to somebody about it. My mom asked me what these marks were on my arm, and i told her is was eraser burns ( because they leave scars ) and she hasn`t realy noticed that more and more keep appearing. What should I tell her? I want too tell her the truth. I know she will probably understand but she`ll get really upset ( sad ) because she hates seeing me like this and i`ll feel really bad. What should I say too her?
Answer
wow u sound like me. thats exactly how i was. i was sad all the time, my friends were boring, i just wanted to be left alone.. etc. i was a cutter.
you are not stupid for cutting yourself. its COMPLETLY understandible. its a way to cope with your pain, sadness, and depression.
you want to tell your mom u r a cutter. do it. i encourage u. i did. right after i had a fight with my mom i went and cut myself.. and i felt better.. but i didnt.. so i told her. YES she was sad.. she would have been sad either way. idk exactly what to tell u to tell ur mom, but ill tell u what i said.
mom i keep cutting myself. i dont know why, im not happy, i hate everything, i cry all the time and i just dont know why. i want to get better.
maybe that might help u.. idk if it will but it may give u some idea of what u can do...

Question
Okay well I really need some help. I have been cutting for about a year and the cuts are getting really deep. They have riped my vein and I'm afraid i mite go to far next time. I've been tryihng so hard not to cut but i get these really baddddd urges to do it..is there any help for me out there?
Answer
yes there is definetly help for u out there. i was once a cutter and i would cut myself a lot but not too too deep.. um, confront someone about your problem, like ur parents.. then u should go to the doctor and seek professional help. i was put on anti depressants, but i refussed to take them because they didn't make me any happier. im not saying they wont help you, but i do recommend them. also i would go to coucling, idk insurance may cover the cost.
i honestly hope that you are happier and i REALLY hope that you can overcome this pain. i did so u can to. also what helped me is i went to church and i built a stronger relationship with God.. which helped me completely overcome my pain. thats just a suggestion, i dont know if ur religious or anything but again, its a suggestion.
