I don't know what to do

hi my name's karl my best friend died 2 years ago yesterday and am still finding it hard to cope, we had known each other for 16 years he was more or less like a brother, and it's just so hard. I am currently self harming, I know I shudnt be but its the...

only way I can cope with the pain of losing someone so close to me. I just need someone to talk to and who understands what I am feeling. what can I do?

I'm sorry for your loss...I know it's hard to cope with a loved one dying...I've felt the pain many times, and sometimes I still want to sit down and cry...You should not be self harming yourself though, and you should know cutting yourself (If that's what you're doing) is not going to help you in the long run. You need to talk to a doctor or a therapist, and they'll talk to you about the pain you're feeling. They're trained professionals and I'm sure they can make you feel better without you having to harm yourself. I wish you the best of luck, and if you want to talk to me feel free to mail me and I'll try to make you feel better. That's what I'm here for!

Seek out a counsellor, you need grief therapy to learn how to deal with your loss

just remeber all the good times thats what I do. but sometimes remembering the good times makes you cry too. but I'll talk to u. I can always use a friend through good times and bad times. if you want to chat with me mail me. hope this helps

Would you feel comfortable talking to a teacher or a guidance counselor? It sounds like you could really use someone to lean on right now. Maybe consider talking to a pastor/priest or talk to your parents about seeing a counselor/therapist. Self-harming is not the answer, but I do understand. Please take a big step and confide in somebody who can help you. I'll say a prayer for you tonight. I'm very sorry for your loss.
