i’m almost 13 and i’ve been cutting my self for the past 2 weeks almost daily. i’m accused of being a goth and an emo, which i am. but they think i’m the stereotypical emo who has no personality and sits in a corner. i’m wierd. my personality is crazy and random. that, added to a wardrobe that consists of black,and 30 cuts on my leg and you have a problem. i want to know how to stop hurting myself because i also have trichoilimania-which means i pull my hair out. i feel like a freak-which i know i am…

Well you got it alright your inflicted with it may as well accept it. Its called hormones and yes everyone gets them but some people get an over abundance of some and not enough of another. FOR REAL go to your doctor and tell him about it and they can give you medicine that will straighten out the hormone problems. The wardrobe is just you trying on different personas you will eventually settle on one until then it will cost your parents lots of money. :) You will be alright just go to your doctor and tell him about the hair and cutting and tell him you would like to see if hormone therapy can help you. Then its either shots or pills just until your body catches up to itself. See your not all that abnormal or weird or freakish not anymore so than the next teenager :) WELCOME to the road of approaching ADULTHOOD!
