i'm sorry that you're struggling....try journaling.....that really helps....writing our my feelings makes me feel better...i also paint or make bracelets or punch a pillow.....or going for a run/walk/jog or just plain working out works too......you just have to find the right outlet that works for you

I understand, if you need to talk I am a great listener. But to give some advise, dont keep the pain inside. It only gets worse the more pain you push down the more likely you are to blow up one day and let it all out at once, and its not good.
Try something positive to get the pain out, write it down, talk on here, talk to a trusted person vent... try anything positive that will get the pain out without showing your pain on the outside.
take care and I am glad you are not hurting your self stay strong but get that pain out!
