Hi,
I am 13 years old. I started self harm last year and stopped over the summer. The problem is i started again. The awful thing is i know how to stop and ive tried to again, but anything triggers it. Like, scissors, knives, when people say cut and many others. Its controlling all my thoughts and now i wish i was alone all the time. I dont know what to do, ive stopped about 2 weeks now but i cant stop thinking about it. I dont cut myself deep usually, but im to the point i dont even feel emotional or most physical pain...And ive become more quiet and more emotionless. Does anyone have any

I am feeling extremely depressed lately, worse than I have ever felt before. I would like to get help, because I feel that if left like this any longer I might hurt myself, and I don't want to make a mistake. I have found several phone numbers but that is it. I suffer from pretty severe social anxiety, (I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and social phobia, as well as schizoid personality disorder) so calling the numbers is out of the question. I have tried, and there is nothing more I can think of to do. I have no family to reach out to, no friends and it seems kind of point

How do you define happiness? What does it feel like? How do you know you are happy? I feel like I have forgotten what happiness feels like... I know that sounds like a silly statement but I just don't know anymore. Its not like Im drowning in darkness and see that there is no way out... I just have a general negative feeling shadowing all I do in my life and even when I do things I enjoy (hobbies, hanging out with close friends, etc) I still fee down. Its almost like the small joy in it makes me more depressed. Im afraid I will never fix myself back to general happiness if Ive forgottten how

I am 17 years old, I moved from the US to Europe when my parents got divorced, and I don't know if I am depressed or not. My mom, little brother, and I have been living in Europe for 2 years and everything has been fine until about 2 weeks ago. I have felt really sad in the past (like when my parents broke up, my dog died, or when my mom fights with my brothers) but normally I will feel bad for a day and put it behind me. But now I feel sad all the time. I'm not sure if I have anxiety or depression or if I'm just being stupid. This year in school is an important year, I am a junior and the pr

Not since 5th grade can I remember when I was at my peak for ambition. I used to be an average student, excelling mostly in math, but doing substantially on other courses. However, I remember that year, I scored 68 points on my social studies test. I was humiliated and ashamed for scoring so low that all I could feel was guilt. I eventually had to show my mother my score and she could see the shame across my face as well. She didn't yell or scream, but only said that she was disappointed.
I was more than disappointed in myself. So much, that from there on, I spent a majority of my hou

For the past year and a half I have been experiencing depression and self destructive thoughts. The way I view things has changed quite drastically over this time and I haven't told very many people whats been going on with me. My grades are spiraling down and my depression is increasing because my mom doesn't understand that I could use some help, but I don't feel comfortable talking to people I know about it for fear of judgment and unhelpful responses.
I have hinted several times to her that I need a counselor but she hasn't acted upon it, even after I came right out and said it to h

I meet my bf through a mutual friend some months back. We did not hit off at first, but did when we meet the second and the third time. I learned from my friend that he had been sick in the past due to surgeries he had in his knees. A problem he had since his he was a child. When we started dating, I asked him more about it and he was very open on the subject. Because of his multiple surgeries, he missed school a lot and was depress for a while. He currently takes bupropion one pill a day which was prescribed couple of years back. He is in his late 20’s. Is this something he has to ta
