ive not selfharmed in a while but im finding it difficult to cope with the death of my grandpa and my bestfriends lack of support…i dunno if i can manage not to harm myself, i need some help
Im sorry to hear that your grandad has died, the best thing to do is talk to someone you trust, whether it be a friend, doctor or teacher, as they will know how to help. Try using distraction techniques to stop the temptation of self harm such as going for a jog, drawing, painting, breaking a pencil or even listening to music. Hope some of this helps xx good luck, hope everything gets better, many people dont understand self harm so they might react badly at first but just explain and/or show them this site as you are not alone xx JMF
