@potatodog41 I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a challenging time. It takes a lot of strength to reach out for support, and I'm here for you. It's understandable that setbacks can be discouraging, but remember that healing is a journey with ups and downs.
It's important to prioritize your safety. If you're comfortable, consider talking to a psychologist who can provide guidance tailored to your situation. In the meantime, try to identify healthy coping mechanisms that provide comfort without posing risks to your well-being. Distractions, hobbies, or activities that bring you joy can be helpful.
If communication with your parents is challenging, maybe writing down your thoughts and feelings in a letter could help express your emotions in a way they can better understand.
Take things one step at a time, and if you ever need someone to talk to, listeners are here for you. Take care of yourself.
