I am only thirteen, so please make all answers descriptive.
i have had INSANE family issues. i can't even tell you what they are cuz some stupid tattletale will call the child services or the FBI or something f*cked up like that. anyways, it's been impossible to sleep at night (cuz i spend most of my time crying under the covers trying to make it all go away) and i noticed i can't even concentrate anymore. i actually had one thought of suicide but snapped out of it.
i have tried talking to school counselors but they don't do anything. and i can only say so much (like i said, they'll tattletale). i tried talking to my family about it but they just got mad and didn't talk to me for a while (oh and when i say "a while" i mean 4 weeks)
i just need someone to tell me something other than
"get help"
"counseling"
"talk to your family"
i need someone to give me advice that nobody has given me yet. all the advice people have gotten me is just doesn't work.
PLEASE HELP.
and don't be a tattletale.
I have a suggestion... I don't know if you'd go for it... but its better than counseling, professional help, and talking to your family...
Might I suggest you keep a journal? Just write about your day... Write about what is on your mind... You can even draw in it if you don't feel like writing. OR... instead... you can write down everything that is bothering you, rip out the piece of paper and then tear it into tiny shreds and take your excess stress out that way. It was one of the practices I did when I was a bit younger and was trying to get over cutting. (But instead of shredding the paper with my hands, I'd use scissors because that is what I had used to hurt myself)... Its self-therapeutic and I really do recommend trying it.
I won't lie... sometimes you will feel the depression coming back... but that is when you come back onto this site and you do what you are doing now... asking for someone to help cheer you up! C=
(Another cool thing about being online... is the anonymous presence you get to keep. If you ever need to load things off of your chest without being judged, or fear of someone seeking professional intervention on your behalf... you can always private message me and I'll be more than happy to lend some advice)
