Ok I am not happy with my life right now....and I have no idea why...I have friends and a bf who cares soo much about me...I'm a good student and I'm Secretary of my class at school...I have a lot going for me but I feel so empty inside...Please dont think that this is just for attention because thats why I cant tell my friends how I feel...I just feel like I need help...most of those things I said above were true but I messed up most of my friendships and lied to my bf about things. I'm a cutter and a snapper and I need help sorting out my life.
Additional info, added Saturday April 30 2005, 10:31 pm: **For those who dont kno what a snapper is it is someone who snaps rubber bands or other elastics to get the same feeling they would from cutting.

He is there for you and is just waiting with open arms for you to run to him and confide in him. If you truely believe he can help you, he will. You are one of his children and he doesn't like to see you suffer, but you have to want him to help you. Don't give into the lie that "God isn't real." or "If he was alive, why isn't he helping me?" becuase he WANTS to help you. Just pray about it and/or seek a pastor or elder who can help you out. I know that feeling because I used to feel like that. I went to my church camp last summer and gave my life to God and I've never felt so good; so alive. He has helped me through so many hard things with my family, friends, and just the ordinary things of this world. There's nothing he can't do, including your problems, whatever they may be. If you want to talk more, email me at Natileexox@aol.com. Please give God a chance. It will change your life.

Maybe if you tried to go back and make some of these friendships work and come clean to your boy friend then you would feel better. You shouldn't cut, that might have a thing to do with it too. For you snapping you might want to take anger management classes. [ x0CheniseLynn0x's advice column | Ask x0CheniseLynn0x A Question ]
l0stiNth0uGht020 answered Sunday May 1 2005, 10:15 am: You need to talk to someone - tell your parents how you're feeling, or a counselor if you feel like you can't trust your parents. You sound like you're suffering from depression, but more than half of the teenagers in the world are, so don't worry about it. You could also talk to your parents about getting a prescription for anti-depressants, and see if those help. Hope I helped a little!

Pixiemagic14 answered Sunday May 1 2005, 1:58 am: Wow. That's messed up.You shhouldn't have to hide away all your feelings like that. Cutting to release your pain is even worse. I don't even know what a snaper is.You should tell your parents so they can get you professional help. I think that's one of the only way for you to sort out your life.

AdInA answered Sunday May 1 2005, 1:13 am: i go through the same thing and i'm as happy as can ever be.. it's just so much stress! even people who others think are perfect have their own problems. you can't help feeling empty but you can't put yourself down. cutting and snapping is hard to stop but it's possible. you should start by not doing those things anymore! it just piles up depression and makes you feel a billion times worse afterwards (it may make you feel relieved in the moment, but it only makes things worse later on). if you need help with quiting, you NEED to get help. you should see a counselor or talk to your parents or your bf! you should be able to trust your bf and since he cares about you, he should be willing to help. do things that make you feel better and be more social. don't stay at home during the weekends, go out for a walk or hang out with your friends. do things that will keep your mind off of bad things, and it'll become a habbit! if you ever need someone to talk to, you can always im me because i definately know where you're coming from!

I know it sounds scary.. but ti could be really life changing! and if you don't find yourself open to that idea you can try to look to God for answers.. he will be there for you!
vchicka15 answered Saturday April 30 2005, 11:51 pm: maybe you should try meditating or talking to a psychologist, it would help. maybe somethings wrong in your family, or you feel guilty about your friends and bf. whatever is bothering you is in your past, and you have to accept your past, its not something you can change. cutting wont help you sort out your life, all teenagers are confused.look at the better things in life and just enjoy being a teenager. hope it helps [ vchicka15's advice column | Ask vchicka15 A Question ]
