LifeLinkWhen we suffer a death in the family, a personal setback or otherwise become depressed, we often harm ourselves in some way to distract from the gloom or numbness we feel inside, whether it be through drinking, smoking, over-eating or picking arguments. Self-harmWhere the despair is extreme, we sometimes resort to more desperate means like cutting, bruising, burning ourselves or punching walls. This type of self-harm is not a sign of weakness or ignorance, but a signal that we feel isolated, alone or deeply misunderstood. SuicideSometimes however we become so overwhelmed by emotional pain that we think of suicide. Though we cannot always see it, there is usually a solution to most problems. It is important to give ourselves time to find the answers. |
