Feeling Like Self Harming ?
Question by Sam: Feeling like self harming ?
[rewrite]Well, I just sit in my room all day and cry all day.. My boyfriend and I broke up I assumed it was mutual but now he refuses to be friends or even talk to me and he already has a girlfriend even though the reason we broke up was because he only has time for himself.. I trusted my doctor when I said that I was planning on hurting myself.. Nothing specific but then she had my parents search my room behind my back and then she had the nerve to suggest residential treatment… I have sooo many issues but I can’t leave.. I carved my name into my leg which alarmed them.. I feel like self harming again:( but I’m too afraid that if I tell they will send me to Utah… What’s it like in teen residential treatment … Help please !!!
