800-448-3000I'm Just Done
Question
I saw this website on another site for self harm help and I just need someone I can trust to talk to. I feel really alone and have turned to lots of different things to comfort me and they don't work. I am just tired of everything. I recently told my parents I wanted to kill myself and they almost took me to a mental hospital so I don't trust them anymore. I'm just done, and I really just need someone to turn too so please help me.
Counselor response
We are glad you are reaching out for help. It sounds like you have been struggling a lot lately. We are definitely here as a resource for you. It seems like there is something quite serious bothering you and we would like to help you work through it. Please let us know what has led to you to feel like harming yourself. You may call our 24/7 hotline at 1 800 448 3000 to talk with one of our counselors. We are here to support you in any way we can. You are not alone.
We are so proud of you for talking about how you have been feeling, the more you sort out how you are feeling and when you are having these emotions, the more you will be able to find ways to manage your stress. We know it is scary to admit that you are having very intense emotions. Perhaps you could use our app to help you track your feelings. It may help you to see if there is a pattern to the feelings that you have been having and by studying that pattern maybe you will be able to find out what has been causing you to feel so overwhelmed.
Though it is scary, we really encourage you to continue talking to your parents about how you are feeling. As you talk to your parents further, perhaps you will be able to find other ways to get the support that you need in your life such as counseling or help from your doctor. If you or your parents need help finding these types of resources in your area let us know.
Take care. Keep reaching out and do not be afraid to get help.
Sincerely,
Sara, counselor
