My story
I think I need help…. please..
Hi im corey and im 15. Im just like any other kid but… I dont really like who I am… my friends and family dont make me smile anymore. I get home every day and its the same old story. im not good enough, im not smart enough. lately its been getting worse and worse and now I am starting to hurt myself. I know what im doing is hurting the people around me but im starting to care less and less. There is people out there worse off than me and I know but I just feel so alone sometimes and it hurts inside. I just want to hear about people like me and who have gone through the same things. I hope all of you understand and post some comments that can help me and people like me.
thanks, corey.

Heeey Corey,
I know exacley what your going through, i feel the same way.
Ive gone through self harm and hurting myself it went on for about 2 years with me it was the way i dealt with pain and my emotions, till i reazlied what i was doing was hurting the people i love. I know its hard to stop but trust me you will thank yourself once you have stoped.
Feel free to talk to me about it, i know how hard it all is.

hi corey,
im 15 as well and am going through exactly what you are going through. i did self harm last year and i know that its the only thing that makes you feel free.. but it only last for a few minutes and then you realize that you’ve hurt others around you. they are not disappointed in you and they want to help you so let them. you are not alone and there are so many other people going through this as well. i know the pain you feel when you feel hurt and lonely and it feels like hell but keep struggling through and i know you will find the light at the end of the tunnel.
if you need someone to talk to im here.
take care of yourself

Hi Corey,
I have been where you are. I think one thing you need to remember is that although there may be people worse off than you, that doesn’t make your situation any easier. Your pain is what it is for you; you don’t have to justify yourself. I’m 17, so not much older than you, and I see myself in your words, I know how much it sucks to feel so awful all the time but still having to carry on with the busy day to day life of being a teenager. I found my grades failing, I would breakdown in front of my friends and teachers and just had no way of concentrating, motivating myself, coping. I know you feel like it hurts others too, but they are only hurting because they want to help you but don’t know how. I cannot urge you enough to seek help somehow; writing on here is a wonderful start. The best thing about feeling this way is that its fixable. It may not feel like it, but with the right help and support you will make progress. I myself and not yet 100%, but I know I am getting better, and that gives me the strength to keep on trying, everyday. I personally am on medication and see the school psychologist as well as another one and they can really help you cope with things. For example, I was having a really hard time just getting through school, and of course it was difficult for me to openly explain to people, teacher and such, so my psychologist emailed all my teachers explaining my situation. Now if I need extensions or whatever, I don’t have to go through the awkwardness of explaining myself.
I urge you to seek help Corey; help is out there and you can get better. The hurting can stop, it can.
Best wishes, and take care of yourself Corey.
