i totaly get the problems of trust and opening up. try writing your feelings down. i have a very hard time actually telling people whats going on in my head unless its through writing.and trust well.... thats a tough one... are u 17? i think its better when u get to 18 ul feel more secure talking to professionals because they have to keep confidentialty ect. (...well in most cases, dont get me started on that one!)
i know its hard to open up but i guess i realised me keeping in so long i turned 18/19 and i exploded, all my emotions have come way to intense and all at once i cant think straight. i urge you to try deal with things as soon as u can, u can be happy again.

I use too scratch and hit myself not on the regular but years in between. I had to stop and ask myself WHY AM I DOING THIS? My answer to myself was ANGER, RAGE, PAIN that others were causing me. I guess I figured if everybody else was gonna hurt me I should go on and hurt myself and in some sick way the physical pain overrode mental pain So I THOUGHT but it made it WORSE you have to STOP. Get help! Talk to someone and address the anger!! PRAY!
