Hello, My name is Johnetta. I'm 16 years old, and I've been cutting since eighth grade (2012), and I've been suicidal since Fifth grade (2008). I've been bullied my entire life, and that's really shattered my self-esteem. I was adopted at the age of five and my adoptive mom is very overprotective, not to mention that when she's angry she says the worst things imaginable, and I've made it 12 years dealing with it, but now I think I've reached my breaking point because cutting isn't having the same effect as before, and I really think I don't belong here, and I'm ready to give up, and take my final breath. Well thanks for listening!

Welcome to TeenHelp, I'm Ellie. Remember me? We talked a bit in chat. I'm very sorry to hear about what you've been through and are currently struggling with. I really hope that you find some helpful support here at TeenHelp. On that note, you're welcome to message me anytime if you need someone to talk to, I don't mind!
Take care and keep holding on. I haven't been through some of the things you have so I can't say I fully understand, but I do know that you seem like a really nice person and that your life is worth a lot more than you know, and you're more important that the way your adoptive mom makes you feel. Hope you're feeling okay right now.
I'm very sorry to hear what you have been going through, and for such a long time, and the affect that it's had on you. I really hope that you do find the support you need here and make some friends too. You don't have to go through this alone

Hey johnetta, welcome to teenhelp. I'm harri.
It sounds like you've been going through a lot, but hang on in there, it will get better. <3 if you need someone to talk to, feel free to pm me.
Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do, then I should warn you - you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: The trip of a lifetime!

First off, welcome to TH, Johnetta I'm sorry to hear what you are going through - it sounds as if the relationship between you and your mother is complicated, but self-harming will only worsen the situation and it appears you may have already discovered that.
It sounds like your mother cares a lot for you, but perhaps is dealing with some issues of her own, which causes her to lash out. This is no excuse, of course, but sometimes people say things that are out of line when they aren't thinking clearly.
I hope you find the support you are seeking here. TH is a great site with a lot of very good people willing to help. Best wishes.

Hang in there and stay strong. I am just a message away if you want to talk.
