I'm really mad right now. I wont get into details but today has just NOT been going my way. I used to be a cutter and smoker. I'm only 15 and I quit both a long time ago and really don't want to start one or even both again. Right now I'm really stressed and mad. Anyone have any tips for me?
kthnx.

For me it's drawing, writing songs, you get the idea. Just anything that you can hang onto when nothing else is there for you. Another thing that helps is venting. Keeping a diary often helps, or finding a good friend that will listen to you and that you can trust and rely on.
Things that help in general are being involved: get a job that you enjoy, join a sports team, volunteer. Being a part of a team does wonders to make you feel accepted and like you matter.
Excersize is also a good one, because it creates endorohins that actually do create happiness. If nothing else fails, just do anything that will distract you. Loud music often helps... or scribbling hard on a piece of people just to get the anger out. Go to a place you feel comfortable just being yourself - for me it's on top of my garage roof. If you are really tense once again, you could write down all that you feel and don't be afraid to be offensive because no one will ever see it. Never tried it but just standing somewhere, anywhere, and screaming at the top of your lungs to get the tension out. Remind yourself that you are stronger than whatever you are going through, whatever you will go through. You are a worthwhile person, too worthwhile to go back to your addictions! You will get through this =] [ junebug93's advice column | Ask junebug93 A Question ]

I mean, I like talking to people I don't know because if I end up hating them, it's okay. I didn't need them before and I don't need them now. But I also know that if they judge me, it also will not matter. I think that's easier. I've dealt with a lot of friends that have had serious addictions, so yeah... Just saying. :] [ TillToniteDoUsPart's advice column | Ask TillToniteDoUsPart A Question ]
