you are something, don't think otherwise. you are a human being with real feelings and i understand why you cut yourself. you have very bad memories. this is still no reason to cut yourself. the pain is not worth it, trust me. you need to ttry harder to get help and to stop. it may seem impossible to stop but it is not. getting out all of these bad memories will really help. you need to tell someone in detail what happened to the best of your ability. once it is out it can be discussed and you will feel better. please talk to someone, anyone.

The first thing you should do is ask the people you live with to either dispose of all the razors in your household or lock them up, for your own good. Since you are already on medication and seeking medical help and that does not work, I would say try rehab. If rehab is not an option, you need to realize what it is that is causing you to cut yourself. The only way to feel better is to deal with your problems. The only remedy is to make yourself feel happy again, there really is no other way. Good luck.

I really don't know what to say to you and I wish I could help more. Maybe you should go into rehab like someone suggested ? You need to remember there's always hope ! I'm doing well with not cutting, I know you can do it. Positive thoughts work and help me alot. I draw when I need to cut, cause I'm concentrating on drawing I don't think about cutting ! Maybe you should try that :-D Good Luck Hunni hope this helps ! Oh and by the way I finially got your e-mail, but i guess you never got mines ! Talk Soon Hopefully !x

First of all, I've read a few of your postings and you sound very similar to a close friend I had in high school.
It seems as though some of your problems stem from the fact that you have ZERO coping skills. You're a professional victim, waiting for a boyfriend to ease the burden, someone to "care" to validate your feelings of loneliness or inadequecy, etc. When you feel down about something you wallow in it, take pills, cut yourself, binge/purge, whatever. You invest energy into all this self-destruction, when you are gonna put that energy into finding a real way out? You're really digging yourself into a hole because you're not going to be able to carry on a normal relationship in your state. If your true happiness depends on another, you'll will be let down without fail. That's a huge burden to place on a person and they will resent having to coddle your emotional well-being. Been there, dumped him. In essence what you are doing is waiting for someone to come along and do for you what you won't even do for yourself. I'm glad you have a support system of family and friends but that needs to be temporary until you find healthy ways of coping ON YOUR OWN. Happy people aren't happy because the sliced their wrists until Prince Charming came along, it's because they have resilience and determination. Find yours. I'm glad to hear you are going to a counselor and taking your meds but it doesn't seem that they are working.
I know this sounds harsh but it truly pains me to think of young women like my high school friend and how desperate I was to help her. I wish I would've given her the wake-up call she needed instead of all that sympathy which only made it worse. She made it thru but we don't talk anymore. I couldn't handle the stress and negativity and her lashing out at me any longer.
LIFE IS GOOD. You have your health and your youth and you need to suck it up and get busy living.

Ooh, I'm so sorry! :( so you think maybe getting all the sharp objects out of where you are, hidden away would help? maybe not. if you haven't got this problem (that you cut at this time) out in the open yet, do it!! I'm sure a friend or family member would be willing to stay up a bit with you so you can talk. try slumber parties, having friends over, gives a good excuse to have friends to talk to. you can try pen pals that are willing to chat online at that hour, if they live in another country or whatever. maybe you should confront this thing headon. get a friend or gathering of family members, and get a knife and a bucket or whatever u get when u cut, and just sit there with them in your hands. if you can do that, it might help. if a family member ofr friend sees you cutting or trying to, then they can stop it. i have an aunt who recently quit smoking, she'd do that same thing wqith a cig in her hand, and mentally get herself not to smoke it. i have no experience with cutting myself, but if the regular methods aren't working, perhaps use some unorthodox methods
hope this helps

Just...STOP. You have to have the will power to stop. Every time you consider hurting yourself, tell yourself 'NO, this causes way more harm than good, it's not worth it.'. Also, try to find something else to occupy your time; habits are most likely to manifest themselves if you're bored and not doing anything else.
Finally, it may be possible to protect yourself, for example, if you could find some kind of armor that would prevent you from hurting yourself and that you could only do up or undo by asking a family member or something like that.

Ok girl first of all every one is right you do need to see a doctor, secondly do tell your parent/s whatever. I am 35 and am secure enough to admit I did this in my teenage years, for me it was a call for affection, and a way to deal with mental pain ( you know what I mean) Nobody knew how to help me, but I knew this would affect how people perceived me (by looking at my left arm). What I did was started writing my thoughts, and anger ,fear everything and reading, and rewriting over again, this helped me...but we are all unique. You need to find an outlet besides your arm, stomach or legs. And do see a doctor

I don't think anyone is qualified to help you on here. I have no what you are going through, but it seems to me that you are very depressed or something. I suggest getting involved in sports or working out. Keep busy the whole day so you will want to sleep at night and not wake up and do what you are doing. Go to church and accept Jesus as your savior. Surround yourself with challenges and goals to keep your mind off the bad things.

Nice, eh?
When you stop, it heals.
Control!
So now look outside, see that bird. It doesn't control the air, it uses it. Just accept the scenarios you are facing and cut into their substance and change them. Don't waste time on the easy cuts to yourself. Instead cut into your problems.
See in your mind the issues and try (in your mind different solutions).
You can detach, separate yourself from the scenarios in your mind like you do from the cut.
Oh yeah, chocolates, have some.

I had the same situation. I just didn't cut deep. Stop it because it is very addictive, even though it feel wonderful. You sound like you are talking about me. Intensive running until I collapse works for me these days.
