It feels like my life is spiraling out of control... I've felt so unreal and not myself. I feel like im forgetting everything and everyone i care about...feels like im forgetting me. Im tired of feeling numb/ no emotions. Im tired of questioning random crap. Im tired of not doing the things i used to love. My friend cuts and i found out she did it again and im so heartless. Im a terrible person, i just want my life back...im losing hope

What’s going on that makes you feel this way?

You can’t lose hope, you can’t give up and you’ll never forget the people you love the most, I don’t think you’re a horrible person, from what I’ve read you’re a very caring and sympathetic person who’s overwhelmed by your own feelings and can’t believe that your friend would do that to herself without you knowing, unfortunately that’s how they do it. My son is 16 and has girls texting him regularly about cutting themselves just to get his attention, it’s sad because he won’t know when to take one of them serious because these girls don’t cut, they talk about it for attention. The ones who are doing it, hide it, they are ashamed/embarrassed/don’t want to be lectured they want help! They never talk about it before they do it so please don’t blame yourself. I’m sure you’re an awesome friend but you come 1st - take care of you!

Hi lindsey14, do you have an idea if something has caused the change or is it difficult to say what started the downward spiral? I know feeling well when you begin to forget who you are and wonder if you will ever feel happy again . Your friend cutting is not your fault but perhaps you are not the right person at the moment to help her through this, maybe just being her friend is enough. Take care X

I know sometimes where I feel like I have shut down my emotions. I get tired of "feeling" cause none of them are good; sad, lonely, angry, frustrated, depressed, anxious, just sick of everything. Sick of feeling all those negative think with no positive feelings, so I shut down. I refuse to feel anything. I wouldn't know a good thing if it was knocking on my door! Go away world. Eventually I come around and start to feel again. Sometimes you just need to shut them all off and take a break. Take a break, but don't give up. After a few days try to come back to the real world. As far as your friend. She is not going to tell you beforehand. You're lucky if she tells you at all.
