I’m struggling in life right now. Everytime i start to feel better something little upsets me all over again. I SI, and i struggle with it daily. I recently told my mom and I have never seen her hurt so bad. SHe almost looked disappointed in me. Then she asked me what she did. I tried to explain to her that it wasn’t her fault. But, she doesn’t see it that way. She sees it as she messed up somewhere as a parent. I’m trying to explain to her that it has nothing to do wit hher it’s my own personal problems. BUt sh e cried forever asking if there was something she could do to fix it. I asked her if I could get a therapist. My mom wants me to go on all kinds of meds. I don’t know if I can deal with it anymore. Telling her was supposed to make things better. But all she does is ask about it constantly. She’s always asking what i injure myself with, when I did it, and always asking if i need to talk. I feel horrible for regretting telling her. BUt I told her so i could get help from an outside source.

Mental health film, interview.
Posted by S.A.F.E. Alternatives Blog | January 26th, 2010
Hello, my name is Peter Cochran, and I am the senior editor at Human Relations Media. I am looking to interview a teen or someone in their early 20s who could describe his/her experience with an anxiety disorder and or depression. Some of the points we might cover are: feeling "stressed out," trouble sleeping, feeling nervous even when with friends. Perhaps someone could describe a panic attack. I would also want the person to talk about how medication and therapy helped. I have a slight preference for a male because many of the other people in the film are female; but a female would be OK, too. Ideally, you could also describe how you sought help and your successful experiences with therapy. Self-injury could be a part of the story but isn't the focus of the films.
If interested please contact:

I am writing an article on self harm for a local city magazine, and I would like to interview “recovering” s.i. people in the Calgary area. My article needs the voice of someone who is well on the road to recovery. Thank-you.
