I'm sorry to hear that you have had such difficult experiences in your life. It sounds as though you feel you have to keep a lot of these experiences secret, is there a reason for that? Sometimes if we reach out for support and tell someone be it a teacher, counsellor, doctor or family and friends that this can help us work through the traumas we have experienced.
It sounds as though perhaps you are using your self harming/suicidal behaviours as a way to cope with the negative experiences you've had-maybe perhaps using distraction techniques such as long walks, a hot bath, talking, writing, reading or painting might be healthier coping strategies to use.
Feeling alone and as though no one understands us can be a really distressing and isolating place to be in, but remember that no matter what RYL is always here, and if you need someone to talk to you can always email
The Supporters.
