Hey,

It sounds like you're having a pretty hard time right now, so if you ever want to talk feel free to PM me so that it's a little less public, just in case some of the more sensitive users see this. I'll be happy to help you out if I can!

Hi Belle, I'd said I'm okay but it's been a long time since I've been able to say that convincingly, today I started to self harm again I been listening to a song that reminds me of my girlfriend who's in germany. she doesn't love me right now because she was raped and she had a flashback of it recently and refuses to let anybody help her. I turned to self harm because of this and because I've been unable to successfully get a job (im 19) and my mother threatens to kick me out if i don't give her money, which is kinda hard without a job. I've started to cut Dani's name into my arm so it feels like it means something.

I apologise that this is really melancholy maybe sometime I can post something useful or fun. If you're interested in the song it's really lovely it's by Mac Lethal - Jake + olive you can find it on youtube or itunes.

I hope you're doing better than I am !

Regards,

Luke

Hey Luke! Welcome to TeenHelp. How are you doing?

My name is Hollie and I'm a buddy here. We're the users with the lime green names and it's our job to make sure you know whats going on and have someone to talk to if not. That means if you have any questions, concerns or even just fancy a chat, all you need to do is hit the 'reply' button under this and ask away. I'll always be happy to be of use and I promise I wont bite.

It's great to see you here! I See you've started to fill in your About Me section, which is great! You seem like a really interesting person, and I see you like history. What period are you most interested in? I used to take history at high school and loved it, wanted to be a historian at one point. Moved on from that a bit now, but I still find it all really interesting to learn about. I also see you write poems - another thing we have in common. I haven't written anything in a while, but when I did I posted them in the Self expression forum, maybe you should give it a look! It's a brilliant place to get feedback and get your writing seen and I know I for one would love to take a look.

Anyway, I won't go on for much longer. I just wanted to let you know that if you need anything I'm here. I know I've seen you in chat before, so I'm glad you're using the site features. I really hope I'll see you around some more, and remember I'm here if you need me. Also remember that this i s a place you can be yourself. Nobody is here to judge and ifyou need support, people are here to give it. Likewise, if you want to give support, people are open to it. Either way, I reckon you'll get on fine here.

Take care, Luke, and have a really great day.
