Daily Struggles

After recently joining this site it's really encouraging and inspiring to see that so many other people are dealing with similar experiences. For me, I feel a negative mindset and scratch/cut myself and as my depression gets worse I'm hurting myself more and more to the point where I'm scaring myself... Does anybody have any advice about how to get out of this mindset?

ALUMINA

Alumina is a free, online 7 week course for young people struggling with self-harm. Each course has up to 8 young people, all accessing the sessions from their own phones, tablets or laptops across the UK. The courses take place on different evenings of the week and are run by friendly, trained counsellors and volunteer youth workers. You don’t need an adult to refer you or sign you up, and no-one will see or hear you during the sessions – you’ll just join in via the chatbox. We want to help you to find your next steps towards recovery, wherever you are on your journey.
