In an article, it says "Self-harm can often be an expression of a deeper problem, which is why early intervention services to support these children are vital. Without this, the consequences really can be a matter of life or death."
Do something about what makes you sad. If you feel like everyone has turned their back on you, don't give up. Make an effort for them to face you again. Better yourself. We shouldn't embrace life's misery. Even if you have a good support system but you do not do anything to help yourself, everything will be worthless. You'll suffer more. And that's a NO-NO!
Here's some advice to keep you going
"Go out. Have fun! Get a life!"
That's what people usually say. I know. Cause I heard it once.
I did NOT suffer from a severe depression or anxiety. But I experienced such sadness that I thought I could never surpass. Well, look. I have never been this happy in life right now. Thinking about those times makes me smile. :) Why? Cause I did it. There's always still a rainbow after the storm. Believe me, there is. Find a new hobby. Travel. Spend more time with positive people so you'll have a better outlook in life.
"It is just a phase!"
This what I always tell myself.
And it is! It is just a phase. So, manage it well. It may be difficult at first but it is never impossible. Come to think of it, you're not the only one who's got a problem in the world. Maybe others have bigger ones. So chill. It isn't the end. Work harder and show how strong you are.
"Love yourself"
A powerful phrase to live by
Know your worth. Imagine how God wanted you to live your life to the fullest. You're blessed with its beauty. YOU are beautiful, we all are. Don't you ever think negatively about yourself, it will just kill all the confidence that you have. Face the mirror and say "What a beautiful person this is", yes, do it everyday.
"Fix yourself, in and out"
Nobody can fix you except you.
I always believe that we're our own superhero.
Save yourself from depression. You're tougher than you think. Grab and wear the nicest clothes that you have, put some make up on and believe that everything will be alright.
"Life has much to offer"
Do not let your destiny pass you by. Think about your future, kids, family, career, places that you'll be visiting, pets that you'll be raising, people that you'll be meeting. Be excited. There's more to life than any other obstacles people have.
"Keep yourself busy"
Focus your attention on something fun and interesting. Keep working, find a new hobby with colleagues and family. Look at its brighter side. That is a good opportunity for you to know and appreciate yourself even more, to be with people who make you happy. Diversion is one of the keys in moving forward. Your support system has a big role on this. Go and have some pancakes and coffee, spend time with your family, catch up with old friends, go to places that you've never been and try stuff that you've never thought of trying.
"You're loved"
Kill those downers
There's a point in life when we think that nobody cares. Then we start questioning our worth. STOP.
You are worthy of God's love. We care. Your parents do. So, do too. Lower your guard and let people in. You may think that you're not getting the exact amount of love that you're giving. Honey, you don't have to measure. Once you show love, you'll be loved in return, bigger than you can imagine. Cause He always got your back.
"Keep going"
In life, there's no stopping, you cannot turn back time. We have to move forward. "That's life", they say. We're the drivers, our loved ones are the passengers, car is life and the only destination is to Him. So, keep believing and keep going ; cause you got this! :)
