I knocked half of one tooth out, fucking wonderful.

By yourself?

It sounds like you may not be able to take care of yourself any more at this point. You must tell someone and help yourself.

It was an accident, I was playing with a pen and something flicked up into my tooth. The tooth had broken before and was partially plastic so it broke off easily.

guess it makes sense that nobody cares

Assuming you mean a post you made earlier and not GD's tooth (because that's what I thought you meant at first but that'd be weird), it's not that nobody cares, it's more that people don't know how to respond, or things just get swept along in the thread.

I'd also advise against using the sad thread to fish for sympathy, that strikes me as unstable emotional investment

Sorry if you feel as though I/we ignored you, I should try to pay more attention to people.

Hurting myself felt better today than it did yesterday. I know I shouldn't do it but it does feel good, I'd just like to clarify though that my tooth has nothing to do with me hurting myself. I also tried talking to some people, Kids Helpline, today but the questions they asked me just made me feel kind of uncomfortable and vaguely unsafe if I'm honest. I guess I'll try again tomorrow but I don't know if talking to people like that that I don't know even in a vague sense will be for me. There are a few adults at school I trust and I guess I could try them if things get especially bad but I'm afraid I'll just be directed to the counsellor who comes across as a bit of an idiot to me.

Counsellors are a lucky dip and it sucks. My counsellor was a bit too soft for my liking, although in hindsight I probably looked for any excuse to avoid her.
Still, it is a very good thing to have someone you can blah all this stuff out to in person, especially in secret.

One lol' bit of advice- avoid discussing the self-harm until you've seen them enough to be super comfortable and candid. They're allowed to break confidentiality if you're a danger to yourself, so I'd suggest only letting the remaining cats from the bag once you're sure they're on your side (and don't trust your first instinct with that either. Some really are shit and Will tell parents, although the rest are ok).

2nd week doing 12-hour days at work.



And the client cant decide what they want. Aaaaeeeeaargh.

[TheBiggerFish]

Gamedragon, seriously, that's not good.

[IronTomato]

Yeah, I don't know where you got this idea that intentionally causing yourself physical harm is okay, but it really isn't. Please talk to somebody about it or just stop doing it.

EDIT: Yeah, I just noticed you already talked to that helpline, but if that didn't work for you you should still tell someone you know.

Either I'm a super lightweight, or drinking on an empty stomach is MUCH worse than I realised.

I was under the impression that drinking on an empty stomach was never a good idea. I've never so much as touched alcohol though so I don't have the best information regarding that.

Everything feels so confused at the moment. It's like, I'm fine for a 30-60 minutes and then I'll just completely break-down as quietly as I can. One of the teachers noticed that I haven't been acting myself for the past month or so so I can't be hiding it that well.  What I'm more worried about the fact that I decided I was going to try and not hurt myself today and pretty much started shaking and getting really nervous at that point. I think I'll be right, but who knows?

[Orange Wizard]

See a therapist m8

[TheBiggerFish]

@Gamedragon:Yes, that is worrisome.

Seriously, find a therapist.  If you can't find a therapist, or someone you trust at all (that teacher who noticed?) at least try PMing Tiruin?  I mean, I'd offer, but I've no clue how to deal with this.  (If you think PMing me would help by all means do so.)

[Orange Wizard]

You can also PM me, but I'd probably be a bit of an ass about it

[Rose]

If you find a way to put a stop to it, let me know. I have problems sometimes when I get angry enough.

It's much cheaper, though...
