I'm almost 18years old. And when I have suffered from trichotillomania since I have being 10. My sister died two years ago suddenely and I had a breakdown at the age of 16 and had to go to rehab/ stress clinic. Last year after I got out, I had a huge thing with trust and I wasn't comfortable at all. I went back to school and I am now doing my leaving cert. at the weekend I overdosed myself and was taken to hosp, I just wanted to go and leave, just not happy with my life, and I don't know how to pick myself up. I'm still in shock from everything. Recently I broke up with my boyfriend, but it had only being of 3months, and it was his fault. He isn't speaking to me and I have done nothing wrong. I'm a complete mess after everything. I know there is more fish in the sea and that things will get easier.. I just need some info on how I could pick up my mood and get myself to be happier, at the end of the day I'm only young and I don't want to live like this forever.

Wow traumatic! It's real hard. All I can offer is what works for me. Keep yourself busy! You won't have the energy or want to do anything other than waste away in a dark room but if you make yourself go for a walk, run, etc and try keep away from anything that will set you off until you're a bit better.
Hope this helps in some way or another. But if it doesn't just remember there will aways be someone out there who cares about you! Regards, Edward

Yes you are young, and with the right help you will learn to deal with the stresses of life in positive ways. Are you on meds now, or under doctor supervision?
