TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
I know I'm depressed, it seems that no matter what i do i never get it right. I was together with this guy and i had sex with him, i really fell for him and now he told me that he doesn't think he likes me as much as he thought he did. I dont really have friends i dont really have anything to live for. I just dont want to be on this earth anymore, i have nothing to live for. I have thought this way for a while now and this thing with this guy just pushed me over the edge. I have given up on everything and everyone. I dont know what to do. i just cut myself, I'm so hurt and just so done with it all.

TEEN LINE WROTE:
It sounds like your a really strong person and it was brave of you to reach out for help.You said that you cut yourself. Cutting can be very dangerous. Which way do you cut? Cutting vertically can often be more dangerous then cutting horizontally.Some tips to help stop cutting can be using a rubber band or ice when you feel the need to cut. Have you been thinking about suicide? If so have you thought about how you would do so? Suicide is a permanent and the problems you are having are temporary although it may not seems like it. Relationships especially in high school can be tricky, but there are ways to handle them without harming yourself. It sounds like your going through a lot and this can sometimes make people can feel lonely. Ending relationships are difficult when you feel so connected to some one, but give your self time to sort things out. I can understand why something like this could make you feel depressed but this is just one relationship within your life there are so many other amazing things to live for. Are there activities you enjoy? Do you have any pets? Find some thing that int rests you. Consider broadening your thoughts to something further then school relationships.
