I found my teenage son trying to commit suicide twice.

I used too When I was a about 13-17
Because I struggled with depression,anxiety “which I still do” after finding out I was deaf at 13… with everything else going on in your life at that age.
Which lead to why I had no friends growing up cause I couldn’t hear anyone properly and everyone thought I was snobby and rude cause if they called out my name - I’d “ignore them”. But after finding out, you would think would be a positive thing, that would fix the problem.
But I was bullied so bad because of wearing hearing aids, sitting in outdoor assemblies, some of the guys in my yr would pick up sticks and try and poke inside my ear to change the settings constantly , I stopped wearing them for ages “I was bullied to begin with because I was curvy “scene/emo” at that age too, and growing up on the beaches in Sydney at a catholic school… was like a target on my back.
I never told my family until my dad saw my scaring. But I ended up stopping on my own eventually because I became obsessed with tattoos and found out it was abit harder to tattoo scarred skin. But looking at the designs gave me a lot of joy and something I focused on to do when I turned 18. I still did suffer a lot with the thoughts of it, so I spoke to a friend and she told me to hold icecubes in my hand… doesn’t leave the scaring, but I still got that… I guess release.

I’m now 27 I have tattooed sleeves on my left arm and right leg and a little one on the scaring on my right wrist.
I haven’t self-harmed/used icecubes in yrs and don’t plan too.

I just had a baby girl in may and she has her Audiologist app next week, so on the off the chance she is deaf, she will not go through what I went through.

The unfortunate thing is things like this don’t ever go away. You get use to actually feeling a certain way and like almost everyone else change is hard especially when it’s something you’ve been so comfortable feeling. To this day I’m still working on this, the feeling always comes back even though I haven’t done it in 4 years. It took me awhile to find the motivation to stop, I have a daughter who looks up to me and I focus my time and energy into advocating coping skills for her when she comes of age. Mental health is a big deal for me and I myself still learning everyday as an adult. It helps when you have a friend who has gone through similar experiences also. Parents are parents but sometimes they need a friend too.

Educate yourself to help💜

I started in the second grade. No meds ever helped. Wards weren’t much help either tbh. Maybe just try to talk to her about it, make sure she’s getting positive attention.

This is hard and so very sad when they can’t speak out to let you no what really is troubling them. It’s just sad :pensive: if only you can get through they can tell you anything and you will not judge!! So sad good luck to all whom are suffering!! :face_with_hand_over_mouth::pensive::pensive::pray::pray:

She probably doesn’t like it there she needs to face real life not be locked up …sorry just my opinion … she’s a child and they need love more than anything not an institution that’s probably why she’s harming

Self harm is a pain in most cases that one can control, when every thing else hurts you lose control, in order to regain some control one will self harm. Try finding the main source of pain,but not sure if you ever will. She might not even know …
