We are glad you are reaching out for help tonight. Have you tried talking with anyone close to you about how you are feeling. Possibly your parents or even a teacher or counselor at school. You are right if you are feeling this down you need to tell someone.

Like most people you are using cutting as a coping skill, and realizing this isn't the best way to deal with your problems. What about journaling? Have you ever tried writing your thoughts and feeling down. This is a great way to express yourself. Check out our journaling pages to help give you some ideas. http://www.yourlifeyourvoice.org/DiscoverIt/Pages/JournalPages.aspx. What about exercising? Going for a nice long walk or jog. Maybe even a bike ride. Again this is another good way to relieve your stress, plus you can get some good exercise in.

Please continue to reach out for help and support. If you would like to talk with a counselor you can always give our hotline a call. We have counselors available 24/7.

Take Care
