Subject: Self Harm

Please help me. I posted a few times on here after the death of my dad in 2003. The thing is - I'm really hurting now. I just got the first ever set of GCSE results back, and I wish I could share the news with him. I thought I was dealing with it, but in May last year, I began to cut. At first it was little scratches that only bleed a little, but now I have to use a towel to wipe up all the blood. I miss my dad so much and the hurt won't go away. It'll be two years in September and I can't comprehend it. Cutting is the only thing that makes me feel better, but I know it's wrong..help me

Dear Adi, it sounds like you're having a really hard time at the moment and that the feelings about your Dad dying and not being able to share something big like your exam results with him is a lot to cope with. Cutting yourself is one way of coping with feelings that feel too much but it sounds like it's getting a bit scary now. It's great that you've reached out & know that you need some help to deal with all of this. There's 2 really great websites about self harm where other people who also self harm write about how they deal with it: National Self Harm Network www.nshn.co.uk & Self Harm Alliance www.selfharmalliance.org.uk. It's also really important to talk about your feelings as this can help to take the pressure off wanting to cut. Do you think you could talk to someone you trust maybe the school nurse or a teacher ? You can also talk to a counsellor online at www.there4me.com or on the phone at Childline on 0800 11 11. There is help and support around so you don't have to go through this all on your own. We hope this has helped. All the best. Rd4U Team
