Answer 1

Hey find something to love in life and maybe go to a therapist.
Find out what makes your heart pound with life and happinesss, there must be something out there that makes you smile. Don't go cutting yourself or anything harmful, find something that makes you tick. Seriously.
Good luck and remember that you will never be alone, there are many many people out there who feel the same as you.

Answer 2

Ouch.
;)
Ok. I have done this a few times in my life.
I found that when the noise in my head was too much that the pain made me calm down. It had to be a cut though.
I figured out that the cut was not fixing anything. It caused endorphins, or whatever it was, in my brain to release and I became numb and calmed down. I turned to alcohol for a while.
What you are doing is self-medicating. Fixing the symptom and not the problem.
You are most likely suffering from anxiety.
First. Eat something. Not junk. Eat a real meal.
Next take a shower.
sleep if you need to.
Back off on the caffeine, it makes things worse.
Long term.
Find a good multi-vitamin, GNC makes great ones. Good nutrition fixes a lot of crappy brain chemistry. Your body is literally built from what you eat.
Try L-Tyrosine for depression. Helps me.
If you really need to talk to someone, find a close friend, preferably one that is not as kooky(said in a good way) as yourself.
Read some of these books:
The Tao of Pooh. On the Road.
The way of the Peaceful Warrior.
If all else fails, find a doctor.

you need a really excellent counselor, someone with decades of experience. your problems are such that you will manipulate and run circles around inexperienced counselors - and that will be no good.

i'm sorry for all the pain in your head. i assume this pain comes from the **** you were subjected to by people who were supposed to love you and look out for you. the question is - will you continue to cause yourself pain or will you resolve that you deserve something better than continuing to abuse yourself on behalf of your tormentors.

people who cut don't have normal run of the mill emotional issues. people who cut, and i've loved a few in my lifetime, god help me and them, are very difficult to get along with typically because they are constantly playing games, because they are unable to trust.

all i can tell you is until you allow your head to overrule your emotions, you will give yourself the same **** you've been given by the abusers. You must take a chance, trust an experienced counselor, hold on and keep going even when you want to run and quit. BE BRAVE!!!

As Churchill said, When you're going through Hell, KEEP GOING!

Look into the book Happier. I just heard the author on the radio, and it's very interesting. I'd say the meditation would be really helpful for you. Meditation doesn't come easily, but you can work on it daily until you can really clear your mind, still your head, and start drinking in some of your own wisdom.

You've got wisdom = your survived the craziness. Now it's time to move past survival. I assume you're safe now.

This is so true: If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got.

You know you're brave enough! Look at all you've survived! Now, move down that path to thriving, to reclaiming the happiness, the life stolen from you.

Best wishes.

Answer 4

It has been said that the things in life that cause you pain are those things beyond your control. Once you understand they are beyond your control, you need to realize there is nothing you can do to change these situations and let go of the pain. You need to understand that the pain is your mind fighting against that which it cannot change, and therefore cannot win. Once you understand this, consider that you are sufficiently well off and educated that you have a computer and the language skills to use it; you are healthy enough to walk, sit and type, and live in a country that most of the world would risk their lives to get to. There is pain associated with things that cause you physical harm, but there is also pain associated with being perpetually discontented at having more than most others in the world. You can choose to be thankful for what you have, or ungrateful for what you have. The choice is ultimately yours.

Answer 5

Don't cut yourself. I did that for years because of constant misdiagnoses. It never really made me feel better - but got me sent to an inpatient hospital.
I am stuck now with scars.

To make myself feel better? Well to get rid of emotional pain I would visualise myself transferring all of my anger into a rock and throwing that rock into a pond or the woods.

I know a lot of poeple who have not gone through this will say this is violent, but all of my therapists in the past agree it is a good way to release tention as long as you are NOT hitting anyone.

Answer 6

Sorry to hear you felt so bad. not sure how to get rid of the emotional pain, but you need to find an alternative to cutting. see my question on alternatives:

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkMvCzvrmx0uRsu1I5HnqhghBgx.?qid=20070521093333AAM2Roj

or email me for more ideas. if you've been self harming for a while and want to stop, which is hard, you need to set yourself little goals of a number of days you will go without cutting. when you reach the goal, treat yourself, then set an even longer goal. keep doing this until you stop.

talking to people can really help when you feel bad, as you can let out how you feel. it would be best to talk to a doctor, councellor or psychiatrist. but you can also talk to friends, family or even people on here - there are many good understanding people on here. if you wanna talk to someone who knows how you feel, feel free to email me at any time, and i will reply asap.

Good luck.
Stay strong, stay safe.

Just read the questions ..even just todays. IThis computer is kind of a link for people to ask,share, and care.Tell your parents,tell a friend, call mental health. Your life is worth it kiddo!!! HUGS TO YOU CHILD!!!!!!oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Answer 8

please dont cut yourself. it only leaves really bad scars you cant get rid of. it leaves more scares inside than physical ones. because when the situation cleares up and you feel better there will be physical scars to remind you of the emotional scares inside and they wont go away causing it to haunt you more. have you tried the elastic band around the wrist trick? it works because it causes more pain than cutting and you'll want to stop after awhile. if not then dont continue. I urge you to seek help from a professional such as a counsellor or therapist. it really helps.

Answer 9

I don't know what you want as to say,but it sounds serious and you need professional help.Here people can make you more angry and give you another reason to cut yourself.Whatever it is,I'm sure it is not worth cutting yourself for.there has to be another way.Just love,respect and honor yourself.God gave you beautiful body,don't mess it up.Try to fix things by fixing one problem at a time.Step by step get a controll of your life and move on.Hang in there.Behind the dark clouds,there is sun shining through.

Answer 10

I have suffered on and off from depression and self-injury. I understand that sometimes cutting is a last-ditch effort to avoid something worse, like suicide.

Talk to someone. You desperately need to express yourself. Meditate. Keep a journal. Eat well.

There is hope, but you must deal with your pain before it can be cured.
