bAhAmAmA0250 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 9:26 pm: Well if you go into a mental hospital volentarily you can leave whenever you want. but idk if that applies for kids our age. But maybe you should hang out with some friends and get it off your mind for the night then tell your parents-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]

l0stiNth0uGht020 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 6:05 pm: Okay, I totally know the feeling. You're going to have to talk to someone - but admittance to a mental hopspital depends on whether or not you've actually attempted suicide or if you have a plan to.. You should tell your mother or an adult you trust, and they will be able to get you anti-depressants, which should help quite a bit. If your parents do send you to a mental hospital, they will give you like a interview type thing, and basically if they think you're a danger to yourself/others then they will put you in.. but honestly, it might be a good thing. They'll teach you how to handle your feelings in a way that doesn't involve self-mutilation, and it would be sort of like a rest. Just something to consider. Anyway, I hope you tell someone because nobody deserves to go through that. [ l0stiNth0uGht020's advice column | Ask l0stiNth0uGht020 A Question ]

Christeena answered Sunday January 2 2005, 12:24 pm: You've gotta realize this first. Cutting, though it may seem to help, won't. It will end up hurting you more in the end. It's a temporary release for your pain, so you need to find a healthier release. Maybe when you're stressed you could go out for a walk, or do a yoga video. Both are healthy ways to deal with pain, and exersising releases endorphins which studies have proven to make you happier.
When you get upset and cut, you are releasing before realizing. You need to switch that order. When you are upset, ask yourself what's wrong. Then ask yourself in the long run, what is cutting going to do for that? By the time you realize where your pain is coming from, you won't need the cutting release, because you will know it's not going to help, no matter how good it seems.
Also, find someone to talk to about your pain, because no one deserves to feel this way. Also, keeping a diary about your feelings, while it may seem corny, does help.

LiLQTPiE8505 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 11:22 am: Okay, first off, hide the knifes form yourself. Try to think like, okay, if I go through the month wuth out cutting myself I'll go but those shoes, or CD's I've wanted. Try to bribe yourself. And if that doesnt work, you need to tell your mom!

Eddy answered Sunday January 2 2005, 11:15 am: Arite. First, your not the only one who goes through this. lots of people go through this an dont know wat to do or how to deal with this kinda situation. Now, first you should see your school counselor and if your not comfortable with that, talk to your friends who u can trust with anything. Then, their is always ure parents. They will listen. And maybe you should see a phsycologist(SP) and that may help. i think it will cuz im seeing one right now. Its helping slowly but surely. I really hope this helped.
If you need to talk one on one AIM me at Lilneid124
sohojules26 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 11:15 am: If you don't want to go to a mental hospital, then yes, you need to tell somone!

MakalahLea answered Sunday January 2 2005, 9:40 am: I think that you should get your closest friends and family together and talk openly to them about what you are feeling and what has been going on with you. Tell your family that you know that something is wrong and that you would like to get help but would prefer to get treatment while staying at home. There are many counselors/therapists that you can see for treatment who will involve your family so that they can not only help you but know what is going with your treatment and see your improvements. Sit down with your parents (and possibly a school guidance counselor) and discuss local therapists. You do need help and I am very glad that you see the need yourself. Your parents will be just as glad. Life is meant to be enjoyed dear. Be honest with them and get the help that you need. Best Wishes!! [ MakalahLea's advice column | Ask MakalahLea A Question ]

DaysGoBy answered Sunday January 2 2005, 3:40 am: Hey Hun... I think you should defiantly talk to someone about it. You shouldn't keep these feelings bottled up. If you don't want to risk having it getting around, make sure you tell someone you trust or even try 1-800-SUICIDE. If it gets worse you may want to consider seeing a psychologist. Remember, you're not alone. I hope this will help you. And about the scars, if you want to reduce the visibility of them, apply coco butter to them one to two times a day until visibility is reduce... I hope you can get the help you need. Let me know if you need anymore advice or someone to talk to. Best of luck!!! [ DaysGoBy's advice column | Ask DaysGoBy A Question ]
