I Am Worried

I'm terrified for my future! I'm graduating high school and this will be the first summer i have not had a sport to occupy all of my time. I will be working but that's like every other day. When I'm alone and free, i contemplate my life worth, I think of suicide. I used to cut and I've been getting the urges lately. (Not for attention, only two people ever knew) I decided I should tell my counselor about my worries and my past (I've never told her) but I don't know how to do it, I don't know if I'm strong enough! How should I do it, I'm afraid my life could end this summer or I could relapse and I don't want to, but the urges will take over. I don't know what to do

You'll be fine my man. Life has a very awesome way of coming together. Yes, there are highs and lows, but those are the things that will mold you and you'll always be a better person for it. Life is an awesome experience. Take advantage of every moment no matter how insignificant it might seem.

If you went in school sports for the summer then you can always find something else sporty to do in your free time. You could ride a bike, skateboard, roller skate/blade, run, etc. You can do any sport you want even if you're not in high school. But you'll get through your fears of the adult life you start ahead. Everyone has had those fears, even I fear my own adult life future (I'll be a junior and 18 yrs. Old). Maybe just tell your counselor you haven't been feeling good lately and have some fears on your hands you want to talk about first.

Hey buddy it will be okay. What you are feeling is normal. You are reaching the next milestone of your life. Congratulations you have made it this far. Do you have any hobbies? You can volunteer? You said you like playing sports can you volunteer in a youth league or camp? Working is great!! Keep that mind occupied with things. Also please talk to your counselor. She or he is their to help you. If you dont speak up they cant. I promise you they here everything.

@Imani283: thank you but suicide is not normal, there's a long backstory to show I'm far from normal

Get back into the sport and realise you're normal - your psychologist can't help you if you don't level with him/her and trust me.... They will have heard a lot over their career

@Faerylight: ** this is very good advise.

You need to busy yourself with work all you can and on the days off, busy yourself doing service for others. Mow your neighbors lawns, take them to the store, anything to do for others and keep yourself busy.
