self harm. anbody please help me

I started cutting 6 months ago. I dont even really know why is cut the first time, I was just feeling down. Things have gone from terrible to 'no one would ever guess im sad' in a matter of minutes. One day im crying my eyes out cutting and the next im smiling with my friends laughing and feeling so stupid for cutting the night before. I hate it. But I dont want to stop. Its pathetic. I do it when im stressed or sad. But lately im trying to not starve myself like I did before. I lost [EDIT] over a summer due to that. But my mum dosent know. But cutting really gets me. I dont want to stop but I know it makes me more broken. I dont know what to do anymore. My best friend also is trying to not cut afain, she has a couple times without me knowing. Im alot more far gone tho.at school im finr then i get home and i break down or just sit there. My mum is a big problem for me, shes selfish and rued and i dont like her. My dad lives away, i miss him a lot. But i still have contact with him. Im just not sure anymore. I hate this feeling of nothing. Pleasr help meen.

Hey there,

I think that you should reach out to a trusted adult about all of this. I know that might be hard to do but they can help you work on figuring out how to overcome the self harm and work on finding the proper coping skills. Maybe you could reach out to a school counselor, a teacher or a school nurse. You deserve to get help for this and the best way to do this is by opening up to someone about this.

I think you should also consider looking into Alternatives to Self Harm. Whenever you are feeling the urge to harm yourself you can look at the alternatives. The can be helpful in dealing with the urges that come your way. You said that you turn to self harm when you are stressed so you have to work on dealing with your stress through other means and the alternatives can help you do that.

Do you think you could talk to your dad about your self harm? What about your mom? I know you don't have a great relationship with her but I am sure she would want to know something like this.

I really hope that this helped and if you need anything please feel free to use teenhelps many resources.
