All i needed was a hug

i needed help but no one was there for me. i didn’t expect myself to turn to selfharming… all i’ve ever wanted was to be loved and cared for but it was so hard to ask for…

sadly, to be loved and cared, a man must provide that before he receives that. if u have the need to self harm, go exercise until u r too tired to want to self harm. worked for me. i need a hug too sometimes. seek counsellors or therapists for emotional help

Hello,

I’m really sorry to hear about your self-harming situation. I don’t know your situation well enough to understand how it feels, but I imagine it must have been really painful for you to resort to this, and you must have felt really lonely and isolated for you to resort to this extreme.

Do you have anyone to talk to? Any friends or family members you’re particularly close to. It may help for you to share with them your woes and you may find that you may feel better. Otherwise a teacher or superior at work may help.

If you need a more personal experience in sharing your pain you can try SOS’ 24 hour hotline at (1-767).

Hope all is all right

Hello! :smiley_cat:

Sounds like you have alot on your plate now :crying_cat_face:

I am so sorry to hear that no one was there for you and that is why I am so happy you reached out here! It must have taken so much courage for you to upload your worries.

I can relate especially to the part where you had no idea that self-harming was going to happen. I am so sorry that you have to eventually resort to this to relieve some of your internal pain. I don’t know if you would be willing to but many counselling centres around Singapore are specialised in dealing with suicide ideation! And the best part is if you do not vibe well with the counsellor, you can always change it with no hard feelings :smiley_cat:

I’ve been through 3 different counsellors before finding my current counsellor whom is able to communicate well and understand me well! So do not worry if you feel the need to stick to just 1 counsellor.

If you are worried about costs, you can bring them up to the counsellors and you can work things through with them! When I was a student, they were able to make the counselling sessions free for me!

I want to let you know that you are still very loved by others like me! If I could, I would want to take some of the hurt you have but since I cannot, you can always drop me a text okiee :heart_eyes_cat:

P.S. I have linked the organisations that I have underwent counselling from! Hope it will help you alittle
