How do I stop myself from hurting myself?

Question

There is this girl I am with. She hurts me a lot, But I still love her. I can't expect anything out of her and I am trying to change that. Every time she makes me feel depressed, I start scratching my arm until it bleeds with a knife or nails or whatever. I also occasionally bite the flesh off of my knuckles. I just don't know anybody that will listen to me. Is it worth staying with the girl?

Answer 1

Ok, first of all, it's not necessarily the girl. When people have depression issues, or anxiety disorders, they tend to cut themselves, or inflict some type of pain on themselves because it releases endorphins, which actually relieves the emotional pain you are feeling.

Answer 2

First off, nobody can control another person. Think what you will but it is impossible. If you feel that hurting yourself will honestly work, try this instead. Pick up a huge boulder and walk a mile next time your angry. Why do that, I don't know, why harm yourself? Truth is that a strong person uses there head not their might. Harming yourself and picking up a boulder is senseless, yeah it may seem tough, but does it solve a problem? Truth is that it is not always easy to say how you feel. Be honest. Your girl hurts you with what she says then tell her that she hurt you by what she says. Asserting yourself can be hard at first. You might want to find more friends that are intelligent to that can give you insight on other things. In general, think about yourself right now and tell her you got better things to do. Go learn and quit acting the fool.

Answer 4

You already knew the answer. Let go for the sake of your sanity. Ask yourself if you want to spend the rest of your life with this person. If not, have a clear break n move on. Do talk to trustworthy friends n elders too. See a doctor. You are infliciting yourself with physical n emotional n mental torture that one day, you will look back n realise how foolish n have been.

Answer 5

No!!! You must think of yourself... Don't bother about that girl anymore that makes you become more depressed. You must think that not only her can make you fall in love with! Hope you did not make anything that can make you hurt...:( hope you will find the better girl..... Take care........

Answer 6

this is obviously a dangerous relationship...maybe u can ask her to stop hurting u r maybe u can go to a therapy or something. u shouldn't be hurting yourself for a girl who makes ur lief sound miserable [no offense] if i were u,i would break up with her but i wouldnt use harsh words.

Answer 7

The relationship does not sound healthy but it definitely sounds as though you need to see a therapist as soon as possible. Nothing is worth self harming.

Answer 8

No is not, does she even knows what going on with you. If that girl would even care or loved you she would not let you do that to yourself.

Answer 9

If you want to stop hurting yourself, then just stop. If you really wanted to, you would, but since you don't realize that, obviously you don't want to stop. So why bother asking the question? I think it's because you want attention... so "Hi Adam".

Answer 10

You have to come to the point that you love yourself more than you love her and then you leave her.
