Answer 1

We all do things that hurt ourselves, to some degree. I'm so sorry your mind is this tortured at this point in your life. The only thing I can suggest is to try to find alternate behaviors to do when you feel like cutting or hurting or drugging yourself. Write a song, dye your hair, photograph old woulds and bloody them up on a graphics program. Plan an elaborate tattoo to express what is going on inside. These are merely suggestions. Whatever can get your attention for just a little while will help a crisis pass. Easier typed than experienced, I know.

Have you looked at online support groups? I am a member of one it is very helpful at least in helping me define my personal goals.

Here is one you might look into if you decide to check it out.

Hi Bri,
You deserve a better life than what you've got going on now. It might help more if you talked to someone in person than typed questions in cyberspace. This link includes a talk line in addition to a crisis one. It also has links to numbers in your state. It's better than being alone looking at the walls and stuff. http://suicidehotlines.com/

Someone earlier mentioned in hospital care. I can't tell how you feel, but if it's real bad, a break from everything might help. No stress or worries, and others to care for you. Anyway, that's your call.

What I can say is that finding the right therapist and getting the right meds at the right dosage makes a huge difference. I spent time on the wrong drugs without a good counselor and felt a lot like you do now. Couldn't find the point in living. It got bad enough for me to finally realize that I had to muster my courage and swallow my pride to get what I needed, which was effective help. The alternative didn't leave room for trying something else, so I figured why not try.

My life has gotten immensely better. Yours will, too. Just reach out to those who can help and don't settle for less than what really works.

Answer 3

I am sorry to hear about your situation. You need to talk with somebody and don't be alone when you feel like this. You can also go to the closest hospital E.R. and talk to them. There are obviously some bad things that have happened in your life you need help resolving or forgetting. I wish you the best of luck. Life is too short so try to enjoy it while you are here and quit beating yourself up. YOU DON"T DESERVE IT!!

Answer 4

Call your therapist as soon as possible in the morning. It's possible that you need in hospital therapy. It a long process to recovery & you need to find out what is causing you so much inner pain that you need to release it by hurting yourself. You are not alone & you are worth saving & deserve to be happy & live a good life. God bless!

Answer 5

I guess the best thing I can say is be a survivor, keep trying therapy, hopefully, they are giving you medicine to help. You have to remember life changes and sometimes it looks the darkest before the dawn. Hang in there and don't give up...Good Luck....

Answer 6

maybe the reason counseling isn't working is because you haven't found the 'right' counselor for you. Change, ask around for a good therapist. You're in a downward spiral, please seek the help you need!! Talk to your parent a relative someone must be there that you feel comfortable with.right??
