Answer 1

First of all, you are not the only one who has felt like this.

Physical pain creates a distraction from what is really hurting you. Obviously, you are very stressed but you don't have to stay that way. You are dealing with some obsessive (thinking) and compulsive (behaving) issues in addition to probably some anxiety and depression. Instead of drinking or drugs or other forms of escape (or maybe in addition to these) you have somehow come up with the idea or knowledge that self harm will calm and make you feel better. Unfortunately, this only lasts a little while and it doesn't solve the real problem.

Please go see a professional counselor and perhaps doctor who can help you. The long term consequences may be significant if you don't. Just know that you are not alone and others have come before you who have successfully dealt with these feelings and behaviors and have overcome them.

Good luck, my friend.

You need help and now! You need to contact the Behavioral Health system in your area. Explain how you are feeling and let them assist you. You may have to be placed in a hospital for a short stay, And placed on medications But in the long run You come out a winner.

Answer 4

Please see your doctor and ask him to refer you to a counselor or a psychologist so that you can get these urges taken care of so they don't happen again. Physical harm especially jumping in front of a car can kill you and the more you harm yourself the more likely you are to think about or try to commit suicide. You need to see your doctor immediately so that he can get you the help you need.

Answer 5

You need to take yoga immediately. Or Aikido or Judo. You need a physical practice involving your body. Your life is out of control. Get a talk therapist, too. And enroll in yoga or aikido. Go to class as many days as you can. You can learn to respect your body and not want to injure it. Value it.

Answer 6

I used to hurt myself all the time and have the scars to prove it. I did it because I thought it felt better to feel physical pain rather than emotional pain. Find out what is causing your emotional pain and you probably won't want to hurt yourself anymore. At least that is what happened to me.

Answer 7

Go to a doctor. You need to express your self to someone that will listen and not be bias or have an opinion. Good luck

Answer 8
