It's rather the same as with drinking - one is too many, two isn't enough. Ultimately, though, these are distracting behaviors.

If your foot was resting in a campfire, it would hurt a lot. Cutting, drinking, drugs, acting out, blaming others - these are like taking medicines to stop your foot from hurting. Meanwhile, though - it's still sitting in the campfire. You're going to need more and more unless you actually deal with the problem first.

When I was at home, the pain was incredible. But the fear of change was equally incredible. Being caught between the two was devastating to me. But those are the only real two choices - either accept the situation (which your situation doesn't sound like that's a great idea) or change it. Meanwhile, it takes incredible courage to speak out when you're afraid of the results.

You asked what life - yours. You feel that the situation is out of control. It's really a shame that you must make these kind of choices at such a young age but the choices are there. What can you do about it? What will you do about it?

Baby girl, don.t hurt yourself, Your precious. I promise you, you are a precious soul. When you were very little, you took a piece of you and wrapped her up and put her away where no one could hurt her. Thats why you are numb, you are protecting her, it's just for now. Remember , she is in you, protected. Love her.

I can't love myself. I never have. Considering I've been told for YEARS how fat, ugly, stupid and unwanted by people. Especially my family. Gosh I can't talk without crying. This situation is getting out of control. Idk what to do anymore!!!!!!

I'm depressed. I don't see things getting any better. Idk how to describe where I am emotionally.

When I was your age I was very depressed. I went out drinking and did some drugs, Always wanted to be around a man. I let people walk all over me. At 19 I met the man that I am with now and want to leave. But even through all of that I pushed and endured and now at 26 I see how much opportunity I had at my fingertips. At age 16 I couldn't even picture my life after 17. But almost 10 years later I am here fighting battles. But I forced myself to look at the positives in life. I want to change so many things in my life but I can still look at the world and see all the beauty in it and know there are things worth living for. Your life has not nearly begun.

My mother moved out when I was 2 and I never lived with her again. She would come around or promise to, but that's all I ever felt was broken promises from her. I did not see the battles she was fighting, being in physically abusive relationships, enduring her life after being raped by her father, walking around empty looking for something she felt was missing. I took it so personal, it's hard not to. A couple years ago she had a stroke and I think it woke her up to a lot. Now we talk every week and she has offered to help with my kids. My point is you NEVER know what the next day holds and even if you have to take it one day at a time, you should do that for yourself.

I have take life several min at a time
