Could you write out everything you have to do for school and then write out a plan of when to get each thing done by? So you can focus on it one thing at a time so it doesn't seem quite so overwhelming? Do your parents realize you're feeling this overwhelmed?

yea. it is nighttime. and no, im not feeling well. i havent been. that just adds to everything doesnt it. but school...just. i cant take a break. i cant. i'll fall further behind. i dont want to go back to my old school. i hated it. but i feel like i cant keep up now because im already behind so far. and everyone seems to think im just a typical cliche 16 yr old depressed teenager. but im not. i used to be perceived as just that. and now, people still see it like that. they think im just someone that doesnt have a full outlook on life and that i just need to get over it =/
im not like that.
im looking for help.
im asking for help.
=/ even those that do understand..idk.
im glad you all are trying to help =/

You know what I realised over time, if you need to cry, then cry, it's better then cutting yourself right ?? I have scars up and down my arms from 10 years of cutting and you need to find a new outlet, I started to play the guitar for example, I just think you need to find something that soothes YOU, and I'm not talking to you as if you are just 16 I am talking to you from ME and from inside me.

I'm not sure how the whole cyber school thing works. Could your parents ask that you have some extra time to get caught up on things? It seems that you're so overwhelmed and this is really causing you to feel stressed to the point you're wanting to cut, etc. Especially if you have depression it makes it harder to keep up on things in general. I don't know where you live but if it's the us there are certain laws that maybe could help. In school you can get certain accomodations if you have a diagnosis of depression or anxiety. Do your parents know about the cutting?
