My grandfather is super mean. He has been since I was 14 or something ( I am now 18 ). Anyway, my idiot sister wrecked my mom's car and he blames it on me. He has always been mean to me and I am not afraid to be mean back. He is a control freak and I hate him!!! I really, really do. I really hate him. Not dislike but hate.
He has so many assumptions about me that are not even true and accuses me of things.
The thing is... since I was 15 I have wanted to hurt myself in some way. When I was 15, he told me I was fat ( I was 130 lbs, 5'5" ) and by the time I was 16 I was 103 lbs and diagnosed with anorexia. I ende dup getting down to 90 lbs by Jan 2006 at 17.
Anyway, today he is really mean and I have had it! I can not stand it. I cut my wrists tonight and I wish I could just die. I really can not stand my grandpa. I need help.

Simple theory but it works. Cut people out of your life that cause you any upset, that's what I do and I'm much happier now. As for slitting your writs, DON'T be silly, your only 18, this time in 5 years you could have met a man you love, be living together in your own house......... When I was 18 I felt pretty alone and in a similar situation to you, today? I have 3 children and a lovely partner and most of all I'm happy, so stick in there, it wont last forever, I promise. Bi polar? - girl, you takin the wee? You into bears?

I really feel for you. I don't really know how you feel as although I suffer from mood swings as part of a mental health condition, I'm not bi-polar and i've had good relationships with my grandparents. I do understand if you cut your wrists as self-harm as I do it myself and I can also understand if it was a suicide attempt as I've done this too. All I can say to you is go to Accident & Emergency and get the cuts sorted and ask to speak to the on-call psychiatrist (if they don't do it automatically). They will assess your current mental health needs and help you as best they can. You sound like you're at the end of your tether and need help QUICKLY. I wish you all the luck in the world with this and if you need to talk more openly with someone please do not hesitate to e-mail me.

well, im 14 and i live in a mental diseased family, and sometimes i do think that i want to kill myself but i stop and think of all my friends and my family that i would hurt by that.
so i think u should go 2 another adult you know, and say that you arent feeling safe, or if thats nit the case then explain what is, and that will help get the load off of your chest, and you could find some sulutions or options

Dont cut yourself!!! Your granpa is going to die before you so please dont cut yourself! Cutting yourself is self mutalation and may be a mental disorder, so seek therapy. Besides, you are 18, and you can "cut" him out of your life instead of cutting yourself.
Now older people are usually "mean" because they dont produce serotonin, which is a chemical that makes you happy and content. Maybe he lacks serotonin?!

is there any way to get away from him? go live somewhere else? my grandma was the same way with me,we really had it out one good time, then she left me alone,just words not hitting but we yelled and got everything in the open. he is not worth hurting yourself over, his life is almost over and yours has just begun

don't let him get you down, keep out of his way, talk to your parents about it if they don't help try a friend or your doctor he can put you in touch with a help group or councillor
