New persons problems

[Notsureimnotalone14]

It’s strange. I’m scared. Everything in my heart hurts. I’ve never done this and I don’t know how to say this without freaking everyone out. I like needles. Not drug needles just needle pricks. A small cut that just barely makes a mark. A small prick to feel the pain. I haven’t done it in weeks and all I can think of is what can I do to make it stop. I live alone. I have people that care about me but they don’t understand. I can’t sleep at home half the time and i don’t know how else to help myself without melatonin but I don’t want to do that to myself. It’s not right. It’s not me. I’m not. I feel lonely and all I can do is fill the void with tv shows that help none.

A hurting heart needs kindness and time to heal. And it starts with you.

There is a complimentary medical practice that’s called acupuncture that uses needles to treat medical conditions, but your use sounds more like self harm. I think it would be a good idea to throw out all needles and pointy things. You don’t say why you can’t sleep at home sometimes...not to be alone?

I think it’s a good idea not to self medicate. Melatonin is a hormone that your body produces all by itself. No need to be scared. You are not alone. Many people have been where you are and are ready to help you find your way through this dark time.

Have a chat with your doctor and if you don’t want medication, say so.

He/she may well offer talking therapy....which is a really good thing....in my experience.
