It feels like i’m trapped with negativity in my mind. I can’t feel anything and I hate myself for who I am and what I do. I hate my body I hate that there is no one to trust. I can’t stand feeling overwhelmed with all these emotions. So yesterday I was scratching myself to make a feeling of pain go through me. So I went to my guidance counselor and talked. Today I feel alone not welcome, when I was at lunch I went to the bathroom and put hot water where I scratched to make it burn. So i might be seeing my counselor again today I don’t want to so yeah. IDK what to do anymore. Any suggestions? Can’t text a help line or call one so that’s out of the case,and a ER visit will never happen. So plz give me ideas.
HELP YOURSELF:
- First thing I want to say is thank you, for having the courage to reach out to TeenCentral for guidance. Often times, reaching out for help is very difficult for many reasons. Be proud of yourself for making that big step.
- What you are describing is a very horrible way to feel and pretty serious. I see that you mentioned that you have had help in the past and are seeking help now. That is an important step to finding better ways to deal with all kinds of things.
- I know you mentioned that you cannot text or call any hotlines, however if you know someone that has a phone you can use or even a guidance counselor, I am sure they can assist you. I am going to give you the numbers to call just in case you can reach out to get support when you are in crisis:

- I know you mentioned that you talked to some adults, but don’t give up. Think of an adult that you do or can trust like your school counselor (don’t stop reaching out for help), teacher, someone from a church parent and/or your friend’s parents.
