Okay peeps. ANYONE with this serious of an issue needs to talk to a therapist. Don't you people have school therapists?

what about other family members tried them? maybe you should call a hotline or a councler & get them to make a call? try evey option

I'm their "perfect little girl" - they are not willing to believe anything is wrong. My school told them, my friends tried, and I have too. They smile and nod, and then tell me to get over it and quit cutting. They aren't actually listening to me.

so that must mean your parents are indenial have you tried sitting them down looking them straight in the eye & telling them if you have then look in the phone book find names of counclers or therapists & see how expensive then show ur parents maybe if they see that you r serious about it they will do something

Try getting a new one, one you feel comfortable with and are willing to talk to.

I can't get a new one, my parents won't pay for one - this one doesn't charge anything - because they don't believe that there is actually anything wrong with me. They see the cuts on my arms and they still won't admit that I need help. I just want to give up sometimes.

I am also on antidepressants and have a therapist, but she doesn't really help me a lot. I am not very good at talking about my feelings to people; it took me forever to even try to talk to anyone. I talked to a teacher at school and she talked to my parents.

yes i have i have a counsler & am now on antideprssants but its only tyhe first week & it took me a long time to talk to someone besids my stuffed animals just kidding i didn't talk to my stuffed animals but it was hard to talk to someone else

To both invisible and writer:

Have you discussed how you're feeling with doctors? They could help you get what you need, whether it be meds or therapy, or something else.

If you haven't, you really should talk to a trusted adult. And if you're afraid of talking to your parents? More often than not, at least one of them understands. It doesn't hurt to talk.

well first tell ur friend its not her fault is it her fault? if its mot try to trace back where it statrted for me it started from a series of events stabbing , brother brain sugery sister kicked out of house & having mono smetimes it helps to find a specific spot where it started u can always talk 2 me i 'd rather be open 2 someone i didn't know well thaen someone i do by the way you feel alone but ur not

I have depression and I also cut myself a lot. I have a friend who saw my arms and knows that I do that, and she is trying to help but I don't know if it is working. Sometimes I can go for a long time without cutting, and she is really happy, but like this morning I was cutting and she called and asked if I had. I couldn't lie, and she feels responsible, and I feel so awful that she thinks it's her fault. I just want to die. My life is so screwed up and people would probably be better off without me.

the first time i told my parents how i felt they said okay & then 2 weeks later nothing was done i found out that my parents just needed to be looked straight into the eye while i told them that i was not okay

Just a friendly reminder to not insult other members. Thank you.

God, you suck.

well you can call this phone number: Self Injury/Cutting:

1-800-DONT-CUT or 800-366-8288

or you go talk to my good friends at teenhopeline.com they'll get you started from a mental perspective. Then you need to go to your parents. They got the money, so they can get you the serious professional help.
and your parents if anything are gonna be scared out of their minds because they don't want to lose you

Maybe it would help... I don't know...I'm just so scared. I mean, what are my parents going to think of me if they find out? I already don't like who I am, I don't need them to hate me too. I'm scared of asking for help, but I'm scared of what I'm doing to myself. I don't want to be here anymore sometimes...if no one cares about me it wouldn't matter. I don't know what I want out of life. I'm tired of pretending to be happy all the time. Maybe I do need help - but how do you ask? Who do you go to?

*e-hug*

sorry miss that's the best I've got online

any way don't be scared of professional help, their name says it all, they're there to help. I almost lost a close friend of mine who was cutting and burning and was severly depressed. She got pro-help (cause I and her folks made her go mostly) and she's okay now

I am too scared to ask for professional help - and my family is not really very understanding of my feelings. They are also not really into hugging or touching. They mostly think that I'm screwed up. I'm afraid of what I'm doing to myself but I'm also afraid of asking for help. I just want someone to love me - I feel so alone. I'm screaming on the inside, but no one can hear me.

family usualy has that one covered hun, but if your depressed all the time and your cutting you need professional help asap no question about it

I am really sad all the time and I don't know what to do. My friends think something is wrong with me, especially since I started cutting. I can't stop. I think maybe there is something wrong with me. I need the physical pain to let out the emotional pain. But I think feeling loved would be better. Where do you get one hug a day?
