[QUOTE="waterbuffalofarmer, post: 3583436, member: 54454"] I must admit now that when I was going through puberty things were tough, family life was a bit topsy Turvey and back in 2013 I really wanted to end it all. I suppose it got to the point where I thirsted to end it all, but I kept on going and i took every day as it came and things gradually got better, now when I look at life I can think logically through situations. When I was having these problems mum gave me supplements and herbs to help, believe me it helped a lot. Sometimes we can get this if not all is right in our bodies, if we are lacking things for example, vitamins is always a good place to start. I have heard some people say that these things are genetic, but that is not true, sometimes it can be learned behaviour, or the body/mind is lacking in nutrients or sunlight or something bad has happened in their lives. This is why it is important to talk about things which are worrying you, because you may think "oh no one can or will help me" but it just isn't true, people or family members will always want to help, if the other person cares for you they will want to help you. Sometimes we get into a state of mind which is " no one loves me" again this is not very true, people love you in different ways and sometimes it can be very difficult for them to show that they love you. On the road to recovery you need to be able to love yourself, to do this you need to find your best qualities and work on those because these are what people love most about you, for example sharing, kind, thoughtful, always a good listener.
