If you self-harm (cut yourself), how often do you do it, where do you do it and how deep do you cut?

Im 18 & sr in hs, i was thinking about trying for baseball, but i don't know if it's worth it. I've had very bad luck with sports (couldn't play soccer this year cause of an injury) & went out for baseball as a soph just to be the last one cut (literally the last since the jv coach couldnt decide & kept me an extra tryout just end up cutting me). Then he said the reason was cause the Vars coach didnt think i would make it, but now that same JV coach is on varsity, & he seemed to at least think i had some talent since he kept me & was the last cut.

However, I didnt play last year or tryout, & theres a lot of politics w/ sports as you're expected to play in private summer leagues (basically the seniors are already picked). This coach said i could be a manager & do all the summer leagues, but i didnt since i was away for summer.

Is it worth being cut again just to see what might happen, or keep some dignity from these sports/politics(& not leave hs as the 1 who was cut again)?

I'm 13 years old and my parents always want me to go to high school and get an education. But I'm in the 9th grade now, and my cranky teacher is a hateful old witch who expects perfection out of me. What am I going to do? Suicide sounds really temping now. What can I do about this problem?-Steve

Or is it putting them in an awkward position and making them feel uncomfortable?

I work with this really crazy dude at this resteraunt that claims to be a film writer/actor. While he is at work he "flies around in his F18 Super Time Hornet" fighter jet, ( it can travel through time so he can go save the world by finding out whether OJ really did kill his x)claims he is married to Jennifer Anniston (sp?) and has a child with her, and that he has keys to the playboy mansion. The guy will come up me and tell me the same stories over and over again, talk about his vow to not touch himself till he is 30.....im still shuddering over that one....and everyone is kinda scared of him. The boss doesnt even want to fire him because he is scared that dude gonna come back with an AK and unload on the place. Now i dont like him, but as far as jobs go, i gotta a decent one with good benifits and cant afford to give them up right now so i kinda got to stay...any suggestions other than dude benifits not worth it, get a new job?

not like racist things necessarily. but for instance, i know a girl who wrinkles her nose at anything she thinks is weird or different. and she acts like a major snob. i think she only behaves this way because she is very pretty and people mostly forgive her since she is so goergous. so they probably figure she is nice to have around for her face. but i dont think its really nice of her. and shes going to have problems later. and not only that, time humbles everyone. so good luck with that!

My first question is: why is it so wrong? It helps me cope with my current problems. Why did I get hospitalized for it, when it's me that I am hurting? It's not like I am hurting anyone who means anything. The second is since it is "wrong" does anyone know any sites in the USA that have message boards that will not kick you off for asking for help with either suicide or self-injurious topics? Thanks

Not only do I bear a striking resemblance to a T-Rex, but whenever I see a man that catches my eye, I have to fight the urge to make mating calls. I also feel like I have a phantom tail. You know when people who lose their legs or arms in an accident can still feel the arm of leg? Well, I can still feel my tail, but I wasn't even born with one! I don't know if this is kind of a mental condition, or if I could truly be part dino. What do you think?

Hi there,

I started the semester with some anxiety, now that that is gone, I feel apathetic toward everything. My personality and mood completely changes every second semester. I don't like college this semester. People are boring and the topic is also. No focus. i don't care much about the goals I had. Why does this happen to me. I've asking this question for a month now. I don't want to faitl, but I also don't want to do work. First semester, I'm usually really perky, stressed, goal-oriented and sensitive. Now I am the opposite. I don't give a shiite about anything. I don't live with regrets second semester.

I have anxiety problems and tend to get panic attacks (severe ones) usually when I have some sort of obligation like a presentation or speech. If I don't take anything, I will probably pass out before I can do what I need to do. I mean I get waaayy to nervous over the stupidest things. So, I was wondering what were some good medications to take AS NEEDED and don't give me any of that Valerian root or st johns wort crap b/c I've tried them and they dont work!
