I need help

[FadedShadows]

I don’t know how to reach out for help from my parents or friends but I’m struggling really. I’m cutting myself and I feel so alone. I also am struggling with a sensory disorder and I don’t know what to do about it. I really just need help right now

I struggle with some of the same problems, it’s extremely difficult to get past. But my best advice is one thing at a time. Right now I’m working on communication and friendships but I’m not very good at it.

It’s not a matter of knowing how but a matter of just going for it. We tend to put too much thought into things as mentally ill people and it prohibits us from getting help. We need to override our emotions it isn’t easy but once u do it you’ll realize how strong u really are. Asking for help is strength reach out it’ll be okay.

Cutting yourself does not do anything but cause more frustration. What you’re seeking is emotional comfort and release of frustration. You might be better off hugging a stuffed animal telling it your fears and holding it close. Do you exercise the act of pushing & pulling things is very good for calming out frustration stress something to lean into. Even an exercise ball pushing it then pushing it against a wall and keep pushing and jumping rope. I know sounds off but your seeking release and it also helps with sensory.

Thank you for the suggestions!

Doing push ups really helps me because I feel so much pain and weight in my chest that if I do the push ups it helps release a little of it. I feel very alone too. Alone together.

I cut, it's probably not the best way to deal with stuff but it's something that's there when I need it. Maybe try writing down how you feel, I've heard this works. First clear your mind, gather your thoughts & then go to your parents or a close friend to talk to, that's if you really want to tell them your problems.

Hope this is of some help,

All the best.

I know it’s hard to talk to someone especially the first time. Find someone who you trust and reach out. Just spit the words out and once they’re out it will be easier to keep talking. Praying for you
