therapy does't help because they can't relate to your situation. i'm 13/f , my "friends" took me down to guidance because i was cutting. so i can sorta relate. what i do is i draw write poems about what i am felling listen to music that can relate to what i am felling. stuff like that. put what you use up high where its hard to get. don't use cutting a answer to problem think of all options first
hope i helped

Hello.

I'm sorry to hear this, but I hope I can help. Why do you feel depressed? You need to truly understand your feelings in order to move on. Whether you have issues in your life with love, family, abuse, or anything else, it's important that you realize that these issues are not permanent. I know that you may be dealing with a lot of pain now, but cutting your wrists is only furthering your depression. I'm not a psychologist, but I'm sure that if you could just stop hurting yourself physically, it might lessen your emotional pain as well. Maybe you could try to find another way to release your emotions. Do you keep a journal? If not, it would be a good idea. Also, try talking to your close friends or family about your feelings. Don't let the pain build up inside of you. You are so young right now and this is the time to enjoy your life. Don't let these issues overpower you.

A few years ago I felt really depressed about an unrequited love. The depression consumed me for months until one day I actually grew tired of being depressed. I realized that there was a whole world out there that I could be enjoying, but instead I was choosing to wallow in my misery. After that day, although I was still not over my love, I was able to start moving on. Maybe the thing that is causing pain in your life isn't going to go away right away. Maybe you have no control over it. But the point here is to try to realize that all of these precious years that you are letting pass you by will never return! You'll never be 15 again. Enjoy your life and build your self-esteem right now as much as possible so that you can have a high self-esteem and many fond memories in the future. I would hate to think that when you are older you would have to look back at your adolescence as such a somber period in your life.

Right now is the perfect time to start fresh. Whatever you are using to cut yourself needs to be disposed. Throw it away in a place where you can never get it again. Hide any sharp objects or get them away from yourself. Maybe give them to someone to hide them for you. You don't have to go on living life this way. This cutting will stop the day that you decide that you 100% WANT and NEED it to stop.

Realize that your life is extremely precious and there is so much for you to look forward to! Don't let this beat you. You are young and beautiful. Try to be optimistic about life.

I wish you the best in this.
Take care of yourself <3.

Gahh, I'm 14 and I've been cutting my arms since I was only 13 so since 2010 started actually, I remember I started in January. I tried to stop several times and I keep promising myself that I will stop, I cut my wrist a couple times but I don't like to that much, I usually do it on my arm but I don't like to do it n that side either so i try to do it on the side opposite my wrist I don't go to therapy, I have family issues and every once in a while it becomes too much and I need to let my anger out, as a child I had terrible anger issues up until I turned 13 and everything was going perfect in my life, then i don't know what triggered it but in 2010 everything just kind of crumbled down, maybe it was sympathy for my cousins, anyway gosh sorry to bring up my situation but I'm just letting u kno it's pretty hard and confusing, I cut and they heal and every few months I cut again, why are you depressed? and how often do you cut urself? It would help to get the source of the problem also cutting is often a result of certain emotions. Is it to let out anger? That's mine, anger and it used to be to stop the sadness but it's only when I get way too angry now. But you're a teenager and it's that time. Maybe finding a solution to the cause of this depression would help or talking about it with someone who can help you by stopping the cause. I hope this helps! :3 My problem is - I don't talk, nobody knows except another cutter herself, and even if they know, they don't know why :3 I bottle things up until it becomes so overwhelming that I yell at someone about something unimportant, :D sorry for boring you with my story, but I figured it would be a good reference for u. Hope this helped, get back to me!
