Look up exercise and depression, it releases endorfins which improve mood and brain chemistry. Also look up art therapy, channelling what yr feeling into something creative helps yr brain process the negativity in yr head, even if yr not good at art; a could technique is doodling it brings yr thoughts into the present stopping u dwelling on the past and yr problems. If yr self esteem is low do and learn new things, small at first, this will give u a sense of achievement...Find some volunteer work, helping others or nature builds self esteem, it looks good on yr CV, it gives perspective, u ll meet nice new people and it gives u life experience and something to talk about, the more experiences u have the more empowered u will feel. And volunteer work gives good karma. U don't have to believe in God but finding some spirituality helps and good karma is a good start. When u find things that help come on here and share with the other troubled people, more good karma. Join clubs, groups, classes and activities in yr community were u ll meet likeminded people and have new things in yr life. U could even challenge yrself by joining activities u wouldnt normally be interested in. Also meetup.com or their app is great for finding meet ups of groups who have the same problems or interests as u... Don't be afraid to go to yr doctor and be totally honest, they ll understand and be able to help, medication or a change of medication can work wonders. A journey of self discovery is a good thing to do. Try different ways of living until u find one that makes sense. People have all kinds of reasons for living. And the journey of self dicovery is half the reward. Read The Magic by Rhona Byrne it has helped alot of people. And playing computer games has been shown to help with depression.also technology can be very distracting, there r tones of apps that can take up yr time; a good podcast is android app addicts is great for finding new apps to distract u from yr problems even if ur not on android also The Moth podcast is really great for inspiring stories.. Good luckand use bio oil to reduce any scars u may have.

It may feel like you cannot open up to your mom about this but they are concerned. It sounds like your mom knows something is up. Would it be so bad to tell her and have someone on your side? It might feel like the end of the world to you right now if she finds out. However, you cannot get better without her knowing what is going on. You might need her help. Please consider reaching out to her. Let her know the reason you have been self-harming.

You don't have to do this alone. Self-harming is addictive and can be dangerous. It does not solve the issue that caused the self harm. It just makes scars. Scars that can lead to more hurt down the road when you see them. Save yourself the hurt and let your mom in.

Good luck!

When i told my mum i was so scared but she was okay with and and got me some help i still self harm but im getting better! If i was you i would of just shown her the other arm or not turn my wrist over:/ For now your just going to have to tell her the truth because if you say something like oh i just didnt like the braclette then your still going to have to show her next time you go to get one, just be open, good luck xx

She will be more upset the longer you keep it from her... It will help you if she knows I know you won't believe that but I went through the same thing and once my parents found out it was like a weight was lifted from my shoulders believe me, so just show her and chin up :)
