hopefulone Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) This post has been flagged with warnings, as follows: Self-Harm Click this notice to reveal the content. I am feeling depressed every day. I am having self harm urges. My mom found out about my self harm. Last month she took away the tools I used to self harm with. Last night I was crying for hours and I cried myself to sleep. I feel hopeless. How can I cope with depression and self harm urges?

I feel depressed because I feel alone and afraid all the time. I feel like I have no one to talk to about my problems. I have no friends. My family always says homophobic things. My family doesn't know that I'm a lesbian and that I am in a long distance relationship with a girl. I am very afraid of my family. I feel alone.

Monsoon Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you feel alone. I just want you to know that we are here for you and you can talk to us about absolutely anything. It's great that you've got a girlfriend - how is that going? Also, can I ask, when you say you're afraid of your family, why is this? I hope that you're safe. You're not alone. Take care.
