Feeling Okayish

[Brandysgirl]

Yesterday was a very difficult day for me because I recently cut and it was very noticable during school and when i was getting ready to go to my track meet that I was looking forward to since last year but yesterday I just honestly did not feel like even going to my meet because of how bad everything has been for me recently and seeing the cuts just made me feel worthless and more insecure than ever. So when I was on the bus going to my meet I talked to a friend and he gave me the confidence and support to tell my coach about my wrist and tell him what was going on. I still just feel really insecure and dont know what to do anymore because all the things going on in my life with my family and in my personal life.

If your coach is somebody you can trust with your feelings, then telling the coach might be a good idea. Do you have a therapist or counselor?

I told my coach and I made an appointment with my therapist for the 8th because it was the soonest i could get in with her

I read your more recent post about all the stuff your dealing with in your life....and I am so sorry your probably feeling quite overwhelmed and your life may feel like it's spinning out of control and sometimes self harm may seem like some control over life's stuff and a release of a lot of what we can internalize if we don't have a way to learn to deal with it in a healthy way like in counseling and therapy....I am glad you talked to your couch and are trying to reach out....all this stuff going on is too much of a burden to try and sort out yourself.....it would be for anyone....I'm glad your sharing.
