DEAR FRIEND,
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO GO THROUGH THIS, THEY JUST DONT TALK ABOUT IT. Mostly, young girls, women and little girls too. If you cut yourself, know that it will not be easy to stop yourself from doing it without professional help. Depression is the other side of anger. You are taking this anger inwards and punishing yourself in order to deal with your intense feelings. Your anxiety levels may be high and when you hurt yourself you get a psychological relief from the emotional pain. Also, your emotional pain right now is so, so high that you may be resorting to physical pain to distract your brain from one pain to another type of pain. Actually, when you physically hurt yourself, it might not even hurt so much or at all. And the behavior becomes "addictive". I would not be surprised if you are also drinking or smoking a lot or engaging in some other self-destructive behavior ( wrong relationships, financial mess...) Please ask your docotr to refer you to a psychologist or psychaetrist. You can over come this but you need help.

Some people cry because they are angry and sometimes because they are sad, and hurting yourself gives you control as i assume that you think you have no control over your life and that life is sh*t.
Do you have a close friend that will not judge you and what you do?
If you do then talk to them, its the first step in the right direction, once you have achieved this then see how you feel about yourself.
If you still feel the same then go to the GP they are much more sympathetic than you realise about this subject.
Or you can get info from the Internet, there are chat rooms that you can visit that deal with these issues.
Please don't dispare you are not alone although you may feel like this.
Good Luck and Take care!

According to the reading I have done regarding hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), the brain, when it senses that blood sugar is low, will do sometimes strange things to get the blood sugar (glucose) out of storage and into the blood stream. Adrenaline is one sure way to do this. If the crying and the hurting yourself causes you to get an adrenaline spurt (and I know crying does), then low blood sugar is probably the cause.
Suggestion? Every time you feel the need to cry or hurt, go to the kitchen and get some protein, meat, a can of tuna (salmon is better) or whatever, and eat it. Also have some carbohydrate, like a handful of chips, an apple, or some carrots/celery, and also some nuts or peanut butter. Eat at least 2 ounces of the protein. Then drink a glass of water and do something mildly active for 30 minutes. Singing is a good one. You may find your need to cry has lessened a bit.
Chronic low blood sugar can also cause self-esteem problems, anger management problems and a whole bunch of other physical and mental nasties. You may want to check out the symptoms link on www.hufa.org, and see how you check out.

Hiya, just to let you know, you are not alone, I used to go through exactly the same thing - well - last cut about a week ago - maybe a week and a half and that was after 6 months so I understand how hard it is. I suggest you speak to some one - anybody - talk to your parents or some one you trust at school or whereever you study, if you do study that is. Here is a really good website for people going through the same things as you:
www.recoveryourlife.com
I'm not sure about the crying but that might suggest you be depressed or prone to depression - if so - I suggest you go and see your doctor/GP as he/she will help you get out of the moods your experiencing . Good luck x

No it isn't right to cry everyday or to harm yourself either, you poor thing, haven't you anyone to confide in about how you feel about yourself, please go to the doctors as soon as possible, make an appointment in the morning and if they say they have none at the moment then ask for an emergency appointment, you need some help and sooner rather than later, there are specialist people out there to help you through this, you have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about, you are not on your own either, lots of people have the same thing going on right now, please get some help and that way you are half way there to helping yourself on the road to recovery, very good luck.

Well you have probably already asked yourself why..... but Why?
Are you unwell, concerned about yourself or someone else, trouble at work/school....... its not normal behaviour especially if you are trying to hurt yourself as well. There is no problem that cant be solved, if you need help you have only got to ask but keeping problems or anxiety bottled up will only make it worse. If its something personal then there are organisations & people who are trained & ready to listen, but you have to let them know,,,, they wont come looking for you. The first move is to see your GP, who aren't just there for coughs and colds they can put you in touch with the right people. Take it a step at a time ....Good luck

I wont say its right or wrong because i know in my life i had to go through some times when I cried every day for up to six months, but only people who go through this type of thing will understand it.
I would say the most important thing is that you take care of your self and find someone who you can trust and share what it is you are feeling and why you think you have to hurt yourself, find a person you can just open up with . Dont you know that you are special and that there are things about you that nobody else has, thats why you are special and please dont hurt yourself.

I think that you should seek professional help.When you said you cry everynight i was thinking that maybe your depressed about something.When you said you hurt yourself that is more serious.I don't think that is right and you should get help before you really end up doing serious harm to yourself and maybe even others.Find a mental health clinic and make an appointment asap.

Depression is a serious situation and needs treatment for both you and the first answerer. See a psychiatrist for evaluation right away. This is common in adolescence, and has to be watched and treated vigorously. I am sure you do not want to feel this way.
