17/f. I asked a question awhile back: so much wrong.....no one cares. Well, I went to the doctor(this past Saturday) and now he's sending me to a psychologist. But it hasn't happened yet. And things are still spinning out of control. I cut myself yesterday. I just freaked and I wasn't really thinking. I know I have to talk to someone. Like really talk. And like that question said I talked to my teacher a little but it was just about the panic attacks. I trust him and I think I could talk about more. The thing is though, if I do, I'm afraid he'll like tell a counselor and then my parents will find out I cut myself. I can't let them find that out. If I talk to a counselor, I'm afraid they'll tell my parents. So my main thing is, to what extent is everything kept confindental? I need to talk to someone; I'm going to snap. Last week I was having suicidal thoughts(not too severe, I just didn't care anymore). And it wasn't like I attempted it. I feel like I'm losing everything and no one cares.

I go to a psychologist and shes really nice she knows i've cut myself and we talked about the things that were bothering me and it helped i also talk to my boyfriend/bestfriend about it and hes good about talking things through. mostly thats all you probably need is to figure somethings out and try to understand the people around you. cutting isnt a very good way of getting rid of problems because once you start your going to want to do it again every time something bad comes up it can end up getting really bad and turn out being the final solution to a temporary problem. cutting is never okay but it seems like you didnt go overboard and your looking for help wich shows that your strong willed and you can overcome whatever it is thats bothering you so please if you need to talk feel free to IM me on AIM -summersangel626 or you can e-mail me also at romo1218@hotmail.com
things will get better i promise it may take a while but it'll get better just hang in there and try not to cut yourself when you get that feeling just listen to some music or scream in your pillow or take a nap to try and relieve some stress.
ps: when you think no one cares just think of this question and the people who took the time to answer...they care :) and im here to talk if you want to.
skylalou_1 answered Tuesday October 30 2007, 11:35 pm: well.. honestly, the best way to do this is talk about it.. i mean, there is a way other than telling your counselor.. i mean, it sounds like you just need a lot of help, and need to talk about things and need someone there who cares for you.. you want to feel like you can care, and that the more you talk about it, the more you think people don't care for you anymore.. it's like you want to try to just give your life away, but you can't, there's just something holding you back.. here, this is my email address: Soldia4Christ_1@yahoo.com now i want you to email me a.s.a.p. and write down exactly how you feel and get everything off you chest because i luv listening to people and I luv lifting up their spirits and gaining more and new friends each and every day.. if i'm able to help others, it blesses me so much that I can't even explain!! so, like I said email asap, and write everything you want to.. I want to be the one who tries to help you and encourages you through the whole thing.. i would do anything to help you!! i may not even know you, but it would be worth every second that I tried to help and encourage you through this whole situation.. plzz write me.. i would greatly appreciate it and it'd my day and life a whole lot better!!!!!!!

m_howard_651 answered Tuesday October 30 2007, 10:12 pm: well heres the deal. cuttin urself wont do any good.if you cut urself all day long, you still got the problem which made you cut yourself. right? so thats not the answer. killing yourself is for sure not the answer, that just aint no good. but people do sometimes get to thinking about that, so thats ok, just dont try it. and girl if you need someone to talk to, hell my email address is moneyman_651@hotmail.com come look me up and ill fix you up. but your main thing is to think about other stuff, keep yourself bizzy, and just CHILL. listen to music or something(not emo either) hope this helps [ m_howard_651's advice column | Ask m_howard_651 A Question ]

they dont know you, so it would be completely anonymous and they wouldn't judge you. [ HeyyyEdith's advice column | Ask HeyyyEdith A Question ]
stacicheers_ohyes answered Tuesday October 30 2007, 7:57 pm: i care. thats why i am gonna try to help you.
the best thing to do is to probably tell your counsler. i mean, whats the worst thing to happen? they are there to help you. even if they do tell your parents, atleast they will try ro help you too. talk to your friends about it, they know how you feel im sure. EVERYONE feels that way sometime or another. but i hope this helps you in someway.
