I don't know what to do!?

Question

okay. so im a cutter and im 15. my friend told my guidance counselor and i don't know if she cares and im really upset and confused. she really doesn't care about me. please help me

Answer 1

Why do you think she doesn't care about you? She's obviously trying to help you. I think that you should talk to the guidance counselor.

Answer 2

Cutting yourself is your way of releasing inner pain. Alot of cutters say that the cutting itself at the time isnot painful. and your friend evidently cares much about you by telling an experienced adult. Perhaps you should go to the guidance counselor now that she is aware of your position. That is the cutting itself. Cutting is only a sign or sympton of a larger problem. Youur friend did what she could for you. Now it is up to you to ask for help. If you aren't sure, call your local crisis hotline. They can give you advice and perhaps a plan of action, Knowing you have a problem is a good start. Now ask for help from someone trained to help. Do your parents know. Do you think that you could discuss the cutting with your parents? If you don't feel that you can, definitely get professional help. Cutting causes ugly scars, maybe infections, and even more confusion. You may also accidently cut in a way that will endanger your life. You are such a young person and I'll be willing to bet that your problems seem so much more then you can handle on your own.

Answer 3

It may seem like your friend is betraying you by telling an adult about your cutting behavior, but she is actually being a good friend. She did the right thing and while I can only imagine how scary it is for people to know that you cut, it is a treatable symptom. Talking about your feelings can be frightening but try to keep in mind that seeing a therapist is a great option. If you feel like you are going to attempt suicide or attempt any behavior that may end your life please call 911 or go to your local ER.

There are many people that care about you, even if you don't feel like there is. People that care for us sometimes makes decisions that we don't agree with at the time because we may be in so much pain that we can not see the "big" picture. These are usually people that truely care for you. I pray that you seek the help that you need and know that this is very treatable and do not be afariad of getting better. Many people feel or have felt as you do. Wishing you strength and hope. Take care.

Answer 4

Your friend made the right decision by going to your guidance counselor.She did it out of concern for you.That is a true friend.You really must go to your parents,if not go to someone you can trust.If you are able go to your guidance counselor yourself.Your parents and your counselor will get you the help you need.I know what you are going through,I have a niece that is a cutter and she is 15 too.You need alot of support right now and you have a good friend to count on.

Answer 5

I know that you are confused and that her actions don't make sense, but you have to try to understand that she did this out of love. I know it's hard, but if she was out to hurt you she could have found much easier ways to do so. Why would she go to all that trouble to make you feel bad? You have to understand that it wasn't easier to go the counselor either and that she only did so because she really honestly cares about you and that she doesn't want you to get any worse. People frequently misunderstand why people cut and think that it means they are going to kill themselves, but often it's the farthest thing from the truth. She told because she saw the danger in your actions, and she thought that she could fix them. If you're still upset you can have a talk with her (prefferably mediated.) and find out why, explain to her why you cut, and just work things out. Of course things won't go back to normal instantly, it's going to take a while, but until then at least you know that someone cares. It may seem like she doesn't, but she does. She really honestly does.

Answer 6

Don't worry life will get better.Ask yourself why are you cutting yourself and if it is because of depression are any other reason than just focus on those problems. Also if you can find some kind of an outlit for this like music, working out are any kind of positive hobby that will help you cope with your pain than that will help you feel better about yourself. If the problem gets worse than I would talk to your parents our anyone that you trust are feel comfortable talking to about the issue. You will get threw this and just remember life is not supposed to be easy and once you get through this you will be that much stronger. Best of luck with everything.,

Answer 7

You need to get a grip .Learn to take responsiblity and quit acting like a 2 year old. If you dont there will be hell to pay down the road. Dont worry about who doesnt care about you but i m sure you have friends and family who do care. I care about you. 15 is too young to have this kind of heart ache in your life. That is how I feel. I sincerely hope you can get your life together. Hope you have a nice holiday.

Answer 8

im sure that your guidence councelor cares....he/she has a lot to deal with in a day and is probably overloaded by all their work.....they could also believe that you are trying to get attention b/c many people believe that cutters do it for that exact reason....im sure your not....but you need to find someone who you can talk to....there are many hotlines you can call or you can call your local ER or mental health facility.....they can help you when you feel hopeless or like no one cares....try to get this cutting thing under control now.....it can really get bad....and your young...you can change this.....and know that there ARE people who care and WANT to help you....good luck!!

Answer 9

~~~you do need to talk with your guidence counselor,,,,he/she should guide you to a counselor that speicalizes in young people with your illness. Your friend must care about you very much to tell your guidence counselor,,,,,knowing that you maby be angry for telling,,,she still did because she cares and wants you to get proffesional help so you will be around for a long long time,,,,,,

Answer 10

sweetheart, who doesn't care about you? Your friend certainly does. She's trying to help you, by telling somebody that can help you. I know you feel like this is a very private thing and you trusted your friend with it. You must have an awful lot of pain inside you to have to release it this way. Please be careful of infections. Please talk to an adult that you trust about what you're doing. You can find another way to express whatever it is you're trying to express. I hope you get the help you need.
