Let me say, I undestand about using various forms of self-harm to try to cope. I know that you don't need the speech about how that just puts off feeling and dealing with the real problems until later. Would you like to talk about what is going on in your world that you are struggling with and need to cope with? You are welcome to PM me if you ever want to talk. Even when I'm stuggling too, I don't mind listening to someone else. I feel better, and it can be a good distraction, and I learn, and get a better perspective.

One thing I want you to know is that you don't have to have suicidal thoughts or be hurting yourself in order to get professional help. I've felt like I needed to justify needing help that way, and what happens is at the times when I feel like I need help the most, I'm not receptive to help. It works better when you don't like the way your life is, and you want to do something about it. Those things can sometimes be a wakeup call though.

I hope things start to look up for you soon. Look up, okay? You might find that you have choices you haven't noticed before.
