Hey again...

Define "creepy". Looks creepy, acts creepy? Does your school have a nurse or a psychiatrist by any chance - someone else beyond the guidance counsellor to talk to? What about a teacher at your school that you like and trust?

Like Phoenix said, there are also 24-hour mental health/crisis lines in different countries that people can call for support. Some of them are for youth/teenagers/children as well. Where do you live (you can just give me the country if you want)? I can help you find a number.

I think I can type about things way better than saying them out loud.
Confusion is my normal state of being. ((((((((Bobby)))))))))
You've been doing stuff to be able to cope. Coping isn't bad, but the methods used to cope CAN be bad and self-destructive. Eating disorders, illicit drugs, alcohol, self-injury (and others) are all ways to "cope" but they aren't ways to thrive and live a happy life.

But, I guess, I'm still trying to figure out why what I've been doing all these years is so bad. I mean, it's not that bad, is it? I know I'm not "supposed to" or whatever, but it's not bad, maybe.
I don't know. I'm so confused.

(((((((((Bobby)))))))))))) Please don't hurt yourself. You deserve better than that.
