Dear cuteamie,

people who self harm themselves usually suffer from depression that can be treated by nutritional means.


Please, you have to tell someone and I think it is best to tell your school counselor or anyone you can trust.


It is not a mental disease, but a biological abnormality that make you feel depressed and upset.


Please print out the article:

"depression a nutritional disorder" at our web site at:

and present it to your parents, a counsellor, therapist or doctor. They will be able to help you.
