I cut myself.
I need help.
I can't tell my parents.
Where can I get help? (link)
talk to a teacher you trust
or the school councelor...iknow its hard but jsut go in and show them the cuts...they can help...trust me I KNOW from experience


lately, i have been cutting my arm.. because i get really drepressed and, my boyfriend found out. he told me to stop but i cant.. its the only thing that releaves me.

what should i do?
(and im not emo) (link)
I did the same thing...I'm still battleing it...you should ask yourself if you want to stop. if you say yes then you can help yourself maybe along with some proffessional help. I don't knwo how bad you are but since you say you can't stop...it might have become a compulsion. I doubt that it has...you seem new to it...but if you keep going you could seriously hurt yourself. find better outlets...better ways to deel with your emotions...It's hard and nobody should tell you to just stop...becasue you can't...once the mind finds something that works...like cutting or breaking glass or writing...the mind latchess on to it...you can stop but it will be hard. if you need more help e-mail me or ask a direct question.

is it possible for your body to be really reacting to stress, but you dont even know that youre stressed? (link)
yes...stress acts on your body very much...most signs of stress are physical...you may not know you're stressed but if you talk to a counselor or someone close you may be able to realize what you are stressing about


i spend too much time pondering on other people's opinions of me. I not only worry about how my family and friends think of me, but also how complete strangers view me. It's darned time-consuming and debilitating. How can I stop it? (link)
Well you need to accept yourself. Try to believe that others aren't always thinking about you and they don't all see your flaws. only you do. I don't know you but i'm sure you're a great person b/c you're reaching out for help but right now you need to reach into yourself and love yourself. and know that others aren't just looking at your flaws.

:)hope i helped:)

I cut. I need help. I want to go to guidance at school.

What happens once I go and tell them?
Other than call my mom. (link)
I went through the same thing. It's good that you want help. The counselor is going to ask to see the cuts. Depending on size and depth they will either refer you to a therapist, but mostly will send you to a mental health facility. If they do this...don't be worried because these places are very nice and helpful. I went to one and now I'm better. If you want to stop you will...I believe in you!!

i hate being alive.

i hate everything i've ever done in this earth.

i don't enjoy anything, nothing holds my attention, nothing interests me. i'm always tired and pissed and upset.

i don't have any friends, and i don't have a bf.

i hate how life is only about obsession with your own body and judging people.


i wish i could die.


but i don't know how. (link)
I know how you feel but the question you have to ask yourself is "do I want to get better or stay this way?" If you want to get better and believe you can and try you will and someday you will be a happy successful person but you have to believe in yourself. Love yourself. Someday you will be gald you didn't die.


I am so vain, shallow, and pathetic. But I realized this a long time ago and cannot change it. My whole mood depends on how good I look. I skip school when I look bad (when I havn't waxed my disgusting excesive facial hair..im a girl, it unfair, i hate that i have it!) and when im forced to school, i get in fights and lots of trouble.. I fail tests.. etc etc etc.
When Im in a good mood, i get good grades, make friends, help people - all is good.

Problem is.. im getting more and more vain every day. I hate my huge nose, my excessive hair ALL OVER MY BODY, my tiny eyes, my small lips, my uneven skin. I get more and more depressed everyday. I've looked in to surgery but they refuse to do it on someone my age..too young.

Help me please. (link)
Every morning when you wake up say one nice thing to yourself in the mirror. Realize that other people don't see as many faults in you as you do. Most people probably don't notice the hair that you fret so much over. You can love yourself...but it isn't going to happen over night. If you want to love yourself for who you are...then try to just accept yourself and all of your flaws. Embrace them and realize that you are who you are. Recite the serenity prayer to yourself before you go to bed or in the mirror in the mornings. You don't need surgery you just need love. Yea I know this sounds cheesy, I thought so too, but this helped me and now I want to help you. Just try.

If you want you will,
If you don't you won't.
-Natasha Richards-


And never stop believing in yourself...because people care...I care or else I wounln't answer you...but people close to you care. Just believe!!

Will only a psychiatrist prescribe you anti depressants? Can your regular doctor prescribe them? Thanks. (link)
Only a psychiatrist will prescrbe you anti-depressants but a regular doctor can sign for the refill. I'm not for medecations bt if you need them you need them because your brain doesn't make the right chemicals so don't feel bad if you have to take them.

ok this goes here and some other places but i used to be this really happy cheerful little girl but then all of a sudden that changed and my life got turned upside down i mean i gained alot of weight i stopped caring abot myself and even some others but mainly myself and now i dont know what to do because i want to go back to the way i used to be but it seems like evry time i try to i just get pushed right back down i mean i want to lose alot of weight be more healthy and be happy again but i cant seem to get the motivation for it everytime i get pushed back down so how i am ever goona change HELP (link)
I know how you feel. I used to be a really happy little bubbly girl and i started to change. If you are like I was you are always setting unrealistic goals for yourself and others and nobody can reach these goal so you becomes disappointed and you start to not believe in people. You have probably become depressed. It would be easier to assess your problem in person, but I can't so find a counselor to talk to and if you do not wish to do that then work with me. Bear with me on this cuz' i'm a bit new but i want to help you.



If you want the help and you want to change you will. The first thing you need to do is think about what you expect of others and then lower it. Try to expect less of them. Try to think more realistically. You will find people much more pleasant when they meet your new lower goals.


Also, try to accept yourself. This is the hardest part for most people, but once you can accept yourself you will be able to accept others better.

Remember that we are all human and we all make mistakes so you have to allow others to be human as they allow you to be.

I hope you find this useful. E-mail me and tell me how all goes:):)
