I feel like I'm going crazy. I keep self harming. I'm being negative as usual. I need help. I need a break from the laptop. One friend said what is wrong with me... I'm a weirdooooo

happycheeks, I've seen you around but don't know if you have a therapist, if so can you call them? Can you take a walk outside, or do some exercise away from computer or something? Maybe call up a friend to go out for a time?

Everyones a weirdoo in some way or another, doesn't make us less of people - take care of yourself

I don't have a therapist. I emailed the samaritiations and I spoke to them about my self harming. They are a group which help people with emotional issues and so on.

I don't know really. I would be wasting the doctor's time if I went in about me self harming. I think I told you before about going in to the doctors before and I was given anti- depressants. I don't think they will help. I feel like I'm going round in circles and I feel like there is nothing wrong with me. I keep thinking about something right now which is making me anxious and worried. I think in my mind, I wish I was pretty and then I thought I wish I was dead. Them thoughts keep going in my mind. I have been told I should go to the doctor but I'm also worried whether the doctor would be concerned and do something about it. These negative thoughts are annoying me.

It sounds to me as if you're so preoccupied with wishing you were pretty that right now, you have no reliable way of telling if you are or not. If your appearance were to change overnight, magically or otherwise, I'm guessing that you'd be all set to say the change was for the worse no matter what you actually looked like before or after.

Have you ever read "The Ugly Duckling", either Andersen's version or Clarissa Pinkola Estes' retelling in Women Who Run With the Wolves?

I have heard of the story but I haven't read it by them authors.

I personally think that you need to commit yourself to treatment. If a doctor gives you anti-depressants, unless you're having bad side effects, stick with it and give it enough time to work. (Remember they take 4-6 weeks before they generally have any effect)

I also think you should look into therapy. It seems like you've had problems with this for a long time and they may give you the skills to help manage these feelings. Don't be afraid! Help is scary, takes time, but the outcomes can become worthwhile.

Best of luck to you, happycheeks.<33333
