Dude imma be straight with you, right now you gotta focus more on yourself then getting a girlfriend, take this from someone who has literally fit the exact story you just said, during the same age, trying the same version of self harm, and feeling like I’ll never get a girlfriend.

It’s normal to feel lonely, hell Im feeling lonely and hopeless right now, im writing about it in my journal. But your gotta remember that self harm isn’t doing you any better in your problems. And suicide definitely won’t ethier

Your still young, and so am I (I’m only 16)

We can’t let ourselves feel like it’s all over and impossible when we have only experienced the beginning of our lives

I’ve been saying “this is the year” for getting a real girlfriend for like 4 years now, and I’ll be honest the one I “had” was long distance and lived in a different province from me. And even so I thought it would be all great now that I finally had one, and to put it simply it was, until it wasn’t. Relationships can’t fix all our problems and I learned that the sad way. And my experience wasn’t nearly as bad as some people have had to learn that

I got out of my suicidal state through finding Christ, which I know a lot of people don’t believe in, so my first suggestion would to put your faith in Jesus.

Other ways that can help deal with feeling lonely that I’ve found is :

Having a journal)
Writing in a journal allows you to write about any problems you have like you were talking to someone, but you don’t have to hold back any details or feelings because you’re worried about being judged or miss understood, and I mean it when I say that’s a good thing to be able to not hold back.

Therapy)
I didn’t have therapy for long, maybe 2-3 months and I can’t even remember if I mentioned my difficulties with girls. But I do know that even that little amount of time helped me when it came to my mental health, having someone be able to listen to your problems is important, and not just someone on discord like me, a real person dedicated to wanting to help you. Having that real life connection is important. And can help lighten that overbearing feeling of being alone.

Hey Lucio, I don’t understand 100% of what you’re going through and don’t worry about relationships yet Especially not in a fragile mental state, those relationships end up being toxic or abusive to either parties. Focus on finding help first. I’ve been clean for around 3 years now and haven’t attempted for about then too. Not saying you should, but finding hope in religion, planning a future for myself, etc What works for one person doesn’t have to work for you so I suggest you meet online with a professional if you don’t feel like you can ask your parents. I recently took up journaling and that helped me but you should try online ones or in a book you can hide. I and many other people are here if you need someone
