I'm so scared I'm going to hurt myself. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel so alone. I don't want to live anymore and I have nobody

It's difficult when your young and feels like you have nobody to talk to about all of the things inside you that hurt or scare you or make you angry. Life tends to suck much of the time, and we aren't all clones of one another, so sometimes being individual and different isn't accepted...it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. The hard thing about being young is you don't tend to feel like you have the power to make your own decisions and that can lead to making bad decisions out of desperation for help or relief. I was a year or so younger than you when I started self-harming, cutting...desperate to make the pain, anger, sadness all of it go away, but no way to get help doing that. The physical pain made me forget for a while...a short while.

We can learn to do things that seem to help deal with our emotional problems, but they don't last and they don't really help, they just kind of bury them a little deeper each time, so they aren't right on the surface raw and constantly painful. Dealing with those emotions, learning to process them and learning ways to cope with the emotional pain takes away the need to cause yourself physical pain. It helps you find your purpose, the reason you're in this life, what you're meant to do...and I guarantee you have one. Talking to a Counselor at school or church. Or calling Social Services and asking about youth support groups in your area can often be a starting point. If your parents are supportive of you, asking them to get you a Counselor or Therapist to talk to is a good choice. There are many kids your age that have to deal with hard emotional issues every day, you are not alone, and you are not by far the only one around you dealing with this type of problem. Its okay to get help.

There's a great website that can give you some guidance on many of the issues I think your dealing with, its halfofus.com.

I hope your able to talk to someone and begin the journey of working through your emotions and living the life you're meant to safely.
