just relax, forget about the past and just move on with your life, try to get rid of the marks from self harming, that may help, if you ever feel like you need to self harm, call someone, IM someone, heck, you could even IM me if you want, but be proud you stopped, not many can, just forget that part of your life and move on, i'm 14 also, going into 9th grade and in the process of forgetting my entire 7th grade life, lemme just say, that was not my favorite year, but it's behind me now and that's all that matters, rite!? you can also get a hobby, origami, maybe an instrument or language, maybe riding a unicycle!!! (i'm working on that one:D) anything you want, again, cutos, or congrats, or whatever on not cutting anymoreWww@Answer-Health@Com
Fixing up your room is a great start!. Everyone needs a place that feels safe and comfortable!. I don't believe you will always feel bad!. Life is full of cycles and you are going through one!. I believe that good nutrition, vitamins, exercise, adequate sleep, and hobbies or interests really help a person feel better!. Sometimes helping someone else does wonders too!. Maybe you could volunteer at the local animal shelter, at a hospital or nursing home!? Best wishes to you dear!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well done on stopping, how did you manage it!? i've been trying for years but keep slipping up!. Maybe you could take a course learning a new language or something, or start a hobby perhaps a sport you've always enjoyed - that might even help with the depression with all thoses endorphins rushing around!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
