you will be ok there are lots of people out there that can help you can call a place called minds they help with people who self harm , but if your nurse has offered to help then try and let her help you its best to have some one to talk to then to try and cope alone but you have my prayers sweet heart and my love because my daughter does the same thing so i under stand

i agree with bashamup that you should be able to talk to some one at least talk to some one. ive had the same problems for 9 years and im 17 now. the first time that i had these feelings i was freaked i thought that i was going nuts but i hid i hid from people i love it tore me apart. i dont want that to happen to you it was my first of many mistakes. just try to talk to some one if it was your best friend or a trusted teacher. the talking will work trust us.

Please, please, please, listen to the nurse and let her get you some help. There are many medications that are very good at helping with depression and all the thoughts that go with it. I am a 48 year old self harmer and started about 9 years ago. Fortunately, I've only cut myself a couple of times this year but it's taken a lot of willpower quite a few times not to cut again. If you are thinking about cutting vs. dying, by all means, go ahead and harm yourself. If you worry about what your parents will do, you need to talk to the nurse at school as well as the doc at the mental health clinic. There are a lot of us out here who have done what you are doing so you aren't a freak or anything, but you do need help to cope with your emotions. 14 is a rotton age to be dealing with all of this crap and I wish I could give you a hug, so I'll be sure and send you one. Keep writing here and you will find that you are not alone and it will help you. I care and I know others do too. Good luck to you!!! kathy

Ok so many people told me that it was just my hormones, and all teenagers are depressed, and its normal ill grow out of it stop complaining. but SELF HARM ISN'T SOMETHING A REGULAR HORMONAL TEENAGER DOES!!!!

Do the referral cutting isn't some 'teen' thing... try to nip in the bud! Let us know how it goes and we're always here for help! pm if you need to chat! good luck!

I think seeing your school nurse and a psychologist (therapist - who you talk to) would be beneficial. I've been self harming since I was 14 and I'm 27 now.

One thing about being in the mental health system for all of these years... I've learned that people don't always NEED medication. I, personally, think that this population is being over medicated. Sometimes you just need to talk - that and healthy exercise. Meditation works too - don't worry if you can't clear your mind... it takes several times to get to that zen place. Try it sometime.

It's kind of like praying. Also, if you ever need a listening ear - I'm here.

Goodluck

I'm really glad to see so many replies already. I agree that hormones are not the cause of this. And also, you may not need meds, sometimes just being able to talk to someone you can trust and who won't be freaked out is a huge help. You may still fight the urge to cut like so many of us have, but if you can, keep writing. We all care because we've been there either ourselves or with someone we are close to. Take care!! Love, kathy

every thing that all these people say are good advice i have fallowed some of theses and they are working well i belive that the world is over medicated too so just keep writing and talking to people that all we can do to stay togeather
