pure sadness

hi i'm emily, i'm 16 and i'm kind of in need of some advice. i've been struggling with self harm for a little over 4 years now, and i was actually 294 days clean at the end of october and then i broke and it's been getting bad again, back to the point where i cut myself every day. i think it's time for me to get some actual help because i've been having suicidal thoughts for a few months now too, but now i have a plan in place and i don't want to do it but i feel like i just know that i'm going to end up killing myself if things continue to go this way. the problem is, my mom found out about the issues with self harmlast year and she gave me no support, she told me that only crazy people cut themselves and i'm not crazy so i'm doing it for attention, so i don't feel at allcomfortable going to my mom about this. any suggestions?

Hi, I am in a similar situation and everything seems really bleak. Try to look at the world as a whole and you might recognise that the world is such a beautiful place and there's so much to be happy about. I try to put my issues into perspective and sometimes it works because my issues seem more insignificant compared to what's happening around the world.

Is there anyone else in your family or at school maybe that you could talk to about how your feeling? Please reach out to talk with someone before you make any decision that you can't take back...you dont want your solution to your feelings or a problem to be permanent because the way we feel is usually temporaryand something we work through...is there something you can think of that is connected to your cutting...something happening or a thought or a feeling that comes when u turn to cutting to feel relief from it? If there isn't someone you can open up to this is always a safe place to turn to...stay strong
