Before I start I wanted to say I'm not looking for sympathy... just for people who are like me. I started self injuring my junior year. It started with cutting up my legs and arms. Now I don't cut anymore but burn myself. I'll take a cigarette and put it out on my body until it's all the way gone. It helps me to relax. Does anyone else have this problem? Especially with burning?

I used to cut also. It was pretty bad I was hospitalized for that and suicide 5 yrs ago. When I was hospitalized I had over 200 cuts on my body. What made me stop was the man I was going to marry made me look at myself undressed in front of a mirror. He said he couldn't watch me die like this instead we started talking more and it worked even though I struggle everyday with wanting to cut I keep thinking of those words and the promises I made him. Find someone you trust that you can talk to It will help.

Many people have that problem. It is the signal of an emotional problem. Please tell someone you trust about this and get help. I know a 15 year old girl who did not get the correct help and she ended up going out of state to an inpatient facility. She is getting better but will be there a year or more.
I know you are not looking for sympathy, but you do have mine. I wish the best for you. And again, please talk to someone.

You have recognised that this is a problem - I beleive you need to seek help to overcome the emotional problem that you are unable to express.
I used to work, as a volunteer with young people and they all self harmed in some way, either through, cutting themselves, drug abuse or violence. It was a way of dealing with their emotional trauma, whatever that was. There are ways to deal with this.

I do not have that problem, but I was diagnosed as chronically depressed years ago. Do not suffer alone. Get help. Accept that you need help. Your life does not have to continue like this. It can be less stressful and happier!

Poppy, if I had that situation, i does not log into YA for a rapid mutually as. i could lay low. And it probably does not be a undesirable thought to take a closer seem at your contacts. all of us who's at an get admission to or low-point ought to be reconsidered to in spite of in case you prefer them as acquaintances / contacts / followers. as quickly as element stages get extreme seems to be while the trolls are maximum lively on reporting. they seem attempting to knock each and every of the best opposition out by using reporting their bigger-point contacts as much as possible. So, if I had extremely some contacts, i could seem to confirm while those human beings became lively. or you should e mail a chum you have confidence who additionally has a great number of contacts and ask your pal in case you have any of a similar contacts and are seen "questionable." by way of fact a number of my acquaintances and contacts are removing the persons who are not their avid followers, I now not get just about as many questions in my e mail field. I comprehend why a number of my contacts who've a lot of followers ought to do away with a number of their harmless followers. useful, it is not as lots relaxing to delete a number of your contacts, yet i think of it is the clever element to do. Then, trolls will ought to bypass out of their thank you to attempt and discover your questions. Or, in case you do not prefer to place low and cover for a mutually as to confirm in case you are able to lose your troll, then you definately probably ought to do away with some extra of your contacts. it is what i could do. No harmless sounding questions ought to be seen to be a suggested "violation" in my view. Any harmless questions you asked and won a contravention observe for, you should contest the questions or solutions that have been suggested as violations with YA. i wish you are able to lose your troll. yet i don't think of it is sensible to forget approximately all your contacts... initiate performing some investigating of your person. i'm not on YA as much as i used to be and trolls are in part the explanation why. some YA bills in simple terms ought to be blocked. and don't respond to hateful or criticizing emails from human beings you do not understand. in simple terms hit the delete key or ban those people who you do not have confidence. I eradicated those people who are not here at YA very lots and who've a low volume of things. And be very careful once you answer random questions from human beings you do not understand something approximately. superb of success to you, my pal.
