How to be happy again?

2 Replies

I was happy. I had a good relationship with my parents, family. But now? The only thing they do is to make me mad and self-harm. I wanna die so bad, but I don't wanna give up my life too. Because I have 2 years left until happiness. I graduate HS and then study abroad alone. But, i have to learn to survive these 2 years.

I'm hoping the best for you. I'm 22 and one of the first in my immediate family to graduate high school, and it does help knowing that you've gained some independence. We are here for you and I wish you nothing but happiness!If you like meditation, the app StopBreatheAndThink helps me a lot. I believe it's a form of cognitive behavioral therapy, but it's basically just meditation and retraining your brain to focus on the present and on your body/breathing through it.

As for self harm...I've been there too. Writing on yourself with a red sharpie or magic marker helps. If you're angry or overwhelmed, hit a pillow, create a venting journal, etc. It does get better with time and you deserve the best! Sending you love always. :)
