Hi,

I'm sorry to hear that you are finding it difficult to cope. If your coping strategy of drawing your emotions and ripping it up is making you feel worse, I would suggest that you try not to use it.

Writing a blog sounds like a good idea; if you like quotes, you could inspirational and happy quotes to write on your blog. If sitting in a dark room alone helps you, you could try meditating to help you feel calm and reduce the urge.

It's nice that your family wants to help you. You could write down how you feel, to help your family understand. As for the friends, if there is a close friend who you trust, you could write them a note about how you are feeling. It's good to have a support network of not just adults but also a trusted friend.

Stay strong. If you ever need help or want to talk, feel free to message me. I'm happy to help.
