I really need help with cutting myself.?

Question

I have been cutting myself for about a year and i have to wear long sleaves when i have cuts on my arms but not when i have scars. My mom knew about the first time, not the many times after. I am in seventh grade. My life is really stressful. My parents yell at me all the time, i lost 2 friends in my sixth grade for this reason, only two of my friends understand and i can only count on one of them and i talk to her a lot, and over the summer, i was harassed by someone who goes to my school. I told the guidence counsuler, nothing happened or changed.

I thought i had finally stopped cutting, but then, i got really upset and started again. My friend is getting to be really mad at me. I really want to stop, I just don't know how.

i also have wanted to end it all. i have tried it since fifth grade. i dont want to do this. help...

Answer 1

Please, please find someone you trust that you can talk to, an adult I mean.

I understand why you cut, the pain inside is too much to take, and no one can see it or understand it. To make it real you cut.

Talk to your doctor, or a favorite teacher, an older cousin or someone, anyone.

And see your doctor anyway, there are things he can do to help ease the pain.

Your parents aren't mad they are worried, and scared, and it so hard to see their child hurt themselves. They just don't know how to express it.

YOU'RE NOT ALONE... I can't stress that enough, there are people who know what you're going through please seek them out.

Check out the links that I've included below, I think the might help.

As far as the harassment goes please keep telling the adults, school should be a safe environment and you need to let them know how uncomfortable and scared you are.

Answer 2

I'm fifteen and i used to cut myself too. Since you're mom knows then maybe you could ask her to see a therapist. It really helped me. Also a good thing to do is each time you feel like you need to cut yourself stop and think why am i doing this? What triggered me to do this. Once you find the problem you can work on fixing it. You also have to remember that you are a great person. No matter what anyone else says and you are strong enough to stop doing this to yourself. You don't deserve to be hurt everyday like this. I know it may sound a bit dumb but try writing journaling something that you can release all your tension in instead of hurting yourself.

goodluck. get better

Answer 3

stop baby and cry......
its ok to feel that emptiness and that much pain yet feel so much for no apparent reason, no body but you will ever know what your feeling or why but scarring those precious arms will only ever remind you of the day you needed to surrender and cry. If you cant do it by yourself, Dont! call emergancy or a helpline, maybe get a friend to call or family member then you'll see how much your really not alone. what ever hurt you bad enough is good enough and you dont have to show the world or show yourself, sometimes its ok to throw your hands up above your head and scream the skies down, beg for rain and curl up when all hope is lost because i promise if you put your hand out there someone will grab it, put your heart on the line someone will hold it and put your voice out loud to be heard because someone is listening. take care of your body it is the only unforgiving thing in this world. rememeber dial '911' or '000' or '112(mob)' take care baby

Answer 4

Cutting, like any other (for lack of a better term) disorder, is a vicious cycle. You need to seek the help of a professional ASAP. Owning up to, and realizing you have a serious problem, is a step in the right direction. You are so young, and have your whole life ahead of you. If you are feeling hopeless or suicidal, you need to call either a hotline or 911 immediately. Talk to an adult you trust. Neighbors? Teachers? (doesn;t even have to be your guidance counselor!). Your friends mom? Just please, get some help. I really do wish the best for you.

Answer 5

Read this website... It has resources

I know you are young, but many woman do what you are doing.

http://www.selfinjury.com/

It may not be exactly what you need, but it lets you know you are not alone and there is real help that is focused on the event you are undertaking.

I have to tell you that people just feel at a loss for helping you, you have to be the one to do the work... the very hard work...

The scars do start to hurt once they build up, and it is not the sort of pain/pleasure you get when you are actually cutting.

Answer 6

Maybe you need some medication to help you stop. You need to find another outlet for your feelings. Have you tried walking when you feel that way ? I think in the middle of your life you'll be sorry for all of the scars that you have on your arms, I am. I have to look at them everyday, even though I still have the urge....I just don't do it. Try redirecting your attention to doing something else and pretty soon you won't be so tempted to do it.

Answer 7

I am 43... used to cut back when I was 17.. long before people even talked about it.. thought about killing myself long before then... Really glad I didnt...
find your passion, your love.. make it a goal.. for me it was horses.. animals.. a desire to have my own horse and a desire to help animals..
find your escape.. for me it was music ( I never did drugs, or drink.. or even smoke.. I got high on music) U2 was (and still is) my favorite band.. INXS too.. and a whole bunch of other ones I am sure you have never heard of... music is a good way to escape and stuff...

killing yourself isnt really a good way...its a foolish way really...

your parents yell at you, why?? for cutting yourself?? or something else?? if its for cutting - well obviously it freaks them out and they dont know what to do or say... heck I might even yell at my own kid (she is 13) if I found out she was doing that...

anyhow - find what you love and dream about it.. make goals towards it.. a day will come when you can see the other side..
perhaps you need professional help and medication now.. or maybe not.. talk to your parents.. beleive it or not they do love you.. they are probabaly confused too ya know...

Answer 8

No, it does no longer be considered "reducing your self". it may be considered self-mutilation and that would not could desire to consistently ensue with cuts. you're style of contradicting your self right here. First you assert which you experience tousled on the interior and you get bullied in school, and which you decrease your self. yet you're chuffed in school and many of the time, and are not depressed. it rather is it? you may desire to be feeling fairly blended up. you're actually not insane or stupid, you're in all risk in basic terms perplexed approximately your life and the variety you're able to desire to be feeling. in case you may desire to tell your mom which you have been self-mutilating and opt to get help, then tell her. do no longer hardship approximately how she is going to react. sit down her down and tell her without postpone-up which you have this situation. She could react by skill of brushing it off; a lot of mothers and dads do. it rather is once you pass on your college counselor and tell her, or tell yet another grownup which you have confidence to make her pay attention to you. And get help. Self-mutilation isn't a sturdy element in spite of everything.

Answer 9

Sounds like you got poked or cut or hurt somehow in the earliest developemental stages, like a failed abortion could in theory be the underlieing cause at heart of this and so you would not be aware of it even though you experienced it. Now why cut yourself all up over something you had no control over? Is this your way of getting back some sort of control? I thought I had problems with my addictive behavior but you must be careful.

Answer 10

I know how you feel, because I do it too. you need professional help. and i've heard this trick that when you feel like cutting, put an ice pack on your wrist or wherever you feel like cutting. i would take my own advice, but i have no intentions what-so-ever of stopping.
