So Many Things Happened To Me

<div class="ExternalClass7196925DDCA246AFA3E45CE0E71E2096">Hello, I'm having hard time right now. There are so many things that happened to me in the past few days that disappointed me to the point that I injured myself. I need help. I would like to go out tonight but I have no one. My whole family is here tonight but I feel more lonely than ever. Please help me. </div>

That is not a fun feeling to have when you are surrounded by people, but are still feeling lonely on the inside. You are trying to fix that feeling which is a good thing. Problem solving, processing through why you are feeling a certain way, and knowing that you need to get out are all great thoughts, but cutting just will not be the solution. Yes, it is a fix, but only a temporary one. Once it wears off you are back at square one and sometimes feeling worse right? When you think about what disappointed you, do you have any control over it? Sometimes that is a good question to ask yourself when you get disappointed over a situation. In other words, is there a conversation you can have with someone to share how something made you feel or to get clarification on why something was handled in the way it was. Sometimes people don’t even know they were the cause for someone’s disappointment or they did not intend to hurt someone. It’s not always a “comfortable” conversation to have, but maybe it will clear things up. Talking about it might prevent it from happening again. Can you think of some other coping skills you can substitute if you find yourself feeling that way again? You could read, go for a walk, call a friend, draw some pictures, organize your jewelry box, help prepare a meal at home, take a bubble bath, or listen to upbeat music. The more you use positive strategies like this, the more you’ll get into the habit of using them again or even thinking of other positive things you can do. If you are still struggling and need a listening ear, think about giving us a quick call today. Maybe talking through it will give you a bit of emotional relief.
