Question

After my teacher and parents fiding out about my self harm after months of it being a secret was terrifing, but a small part of me felt relieved that someone might be able to help me. I was referred to CAMHS and Ive been put on a small dosage of anti-depressants and will start councelling. But the tablets arent working yet because I have to wait weeks for the dosage to be increased and my councelling wont start for about another two - three months. I’m just feeling more depressed and hopeless again and I dont know what to do, how do I cope for another three months? My self harm is getting worse and I feel so lonely, what do I do?

Hi, thanks for posting your story here and your question. It sounds like some massive steps have already been taken and that is great. Has the situation moved forwards any since you posted this? I realise a little time has passed, I do hope that it hasn’t been too difficult for you.
Are your school or parents open to talking with and supporting you? Just having people aware of what you are going through and checking in with you about how you’re doing can be a comfort, before the more professional support kicks in. Everyone is different and so finding distractions and ways of expressing your feelings will need to be individual to you… have a brainstorm of the things that make you feel good and try incorporating these into your day more, especially when you feel vulnerable.
I hope that you start feeling better soon, I’m afraid it can be a long process but stick with it
