Answer 1

okay you can get help here but if you really don't want to tell your parents go to a guidence counsler i've been there before it's hard ...sometimes you feel like no one understands you and you think about other depressing stuff i know it hurts but i think you need help from a guidence conseler or at least you just need some one to telk to who will understand nd help you with out telling your parents (i went to a guidence counseler , well actually a teacher sent me) but i hope ou find some help and don't forget the whole yahoo answwers is here for you (well atleast me ) but that's my best bet a counceler at school...

This must be very hard for you. It can be confusing to feel like you need to hurt yourself to feel better. This is a genuine disorder and you do need real help before you hurt yourself badly. If your parents are not someone that you can trust, do you have a teacher or a counseler that you can trust? it is important that you find someone to talk to about this before you get hurt so bad that it doesn't get better. I am a nurse and I see many young people your age troubled and it breaks my heart. highschool can be such a troubled time and so lonely! You have to see the worth inside of you and know that it's something valueable enough to preserve and not to hurt. Does your school have a nurse?? Please seek some help, you are worth helping!

Answer 3

What you are describing is a very common action called "cutting" and is a tough if not impossible thing to stop on your own.

If you are not quite ready to talk to your parents then you could go to your school counselor. She/he could also help you come up with alternatives to do when you feel like cutting. He/she would also be willing to help you talk to your parents about this as well.

This is not something to be taken lightly nor is it something to be embarrassed about. You are hurting and as of right now don't have the tools to deal with the pain.

Life is a tough and crazy thing, teenagers have a lot to deal with and you sound like you are struggling to deal with yours.

Coming on here was a very brave thing and a great first step but now follow it up with talking to someone. If you are not ready to talk to your parents then at least do talk to a trusted teacher, counselor or someone that will help you talk to your parents.

Your parents love you and want what is best for you in life. They too dealt with tough things as teens and may be more understanding than you think.

Please get help before you accidentally cut too deep and create a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

My thoughts are with you!

You need to do three things. One: replace what you are doing with something better. Start running and getting fit instead of hurting yourself like this. If you run you can hurt yourself by getting exausted. it is better than litterally cutting yourself. replace what you are doing. Second: find someone to talk to. Find someone on internet if you have to. get it off your chest, talk as much as you need to. take in all the advice you can get and take out of what feels right to you. think long and hard why you are not happy. think of why you have such pain.
Third: find professional help if you do not suceed to stop cutting yourself within three days. You must stop it. You must. It is not healthy and there are other ways. There are so many people out there willing to talk to you so you can find other ways of expressing this pain. but first off all. replace the pain outlet with something physical. if you need to hurt yourself: RUN :) Up and down the stairs if you have nowhere to go. I truly hope you can find your way and if you feel like chatting: [e-mail]

I say three days, but let me refrase: you do not give up when changing a habit. that takes 3 moths or more. sometimes years. you just dont allow yourself to do it again and you take control over your life right now! you do go running and you dont complain or say that it doesnt work. if it doesnt work you are not doing it. It sounds harsh maybe, but if you are running you have no time to cut yourself, and if you are cutting yourself you are not running...making any sense? you need to get through the grief and NOT give up. so start running and try again!!!!!

Answer 5

I used to do the same thing, and I couldnt tell anyone either. If you need someone to talk to you I am on once in a while and I am a pretty good listener. If you have Yahoo my thing is sliver_white_hunny. I never really talked to anyone about it, but I never wanted to die and hopefully you dont either :) cheer up it gets better as crazy as that sounds

Answer 6

honey! Ive been there it's not worth hurting your self. if you really need to talk instant message me. maybe we can talk. i am 33 and Ive been depressed all my life. i am bi-polar , depressed o-c-d you name it i have it. i am a single mom taking care of three children on my own. there dad doesn't help at all. believe me when i say I'm depressed. i used to slice my legs to release my pain, it didn't work my pain was still there. were was it gonna go. what is slicing your wrist going to do? your still hurting inside. that is temporary its not going to help, you need real help. please let some one no. or let me help you.i no this all to well and it doesn't get any better if you don't get help it gets worse, so please tell some one get the help you need.

Answer 7

Stop cutting right now!!!
Look up a Suicide hotline or teen hotline in your phonebook.
You must talk to your parents so you can make arrangements for professional help.

Answer 9

hey bro dont do such things chill out there are many more things in life. it is easy to get depressed very easily. chill out and dont slit ur hands

Answer 10

make sure you slit them up and down, not across. thats how you do it. ... listen. you kill yourself...BOOM....you end up right back as a fetus and start over again, so what is the use??? you are here in a fkn classroom to learn. all the hardships in your little life is just another story you tell and i will tell another, and another person will tell a harsher one. my message to you.....
there is no comfort without pain...thus we define salvation through suffering.
