Self Harm, but i don't want help...?!
Question: I don't get it, why are there so many questions on here that are asking for help to end self harming? I don't get it...why don't i want help? I beat myself with the end of my wooden hair brush and tend to leave bruises...but i like it. I do it because i want to...so i can feel pain like the others that are hurting in the world...what i wrong with me? why do i enjoy my pain?

I'm the same way sort of. i cut my wrists, because it makes me feel like im the only one that should be able to cause my pain..instead of all the other people that do.
Hurting yourself can get dangerous...after awhile it becomes like a drug...something bad happens and you hurt yourself...soon you being to feel like its a big part of your life. You begin to lose your privacy bcuz everyones asking you "where did you get those cuts/bruises!? and still people like you and me like bringing on our own pain.
I wont tell you its stupid..or you should stop..bcuz i wouldnt tell myself that...but all i will say is just becareful...one day you might seriously hurt yourself, to a point where you dont like feeling it.
I did the same thing you are now doing and went through it all. Please PLEASE click on my profile and we can talk privately.
i'm sure it will come to you one day. do you want bruises and scars on you for the rest of your life, do you want to be 40 and still doing that? Think about it...
This is such a common thing and nothing to worry about...try flicking yourself with an elastic band instead as this will cause less actual harm, but will hurt x
you may want to get that checked out. there are other ways to feel pain other than hurting yourself. by simply watching documentaries, etc. also, those people you see hurting, don't want to be.
hey,
The truth is, we sometimes need to be told that our behavior is harmful so we can wake up to the fact. Most of the time a person who needs help is the last one to know. That is why so many people need to be helped by someone who is on the outside looking in with a different perspective. Google it and see what you find. many blessings to you. I truly hope you find what you need .
idk. But dont. youll hurt yourself serously one time
The scientific explanation for enjoying pain, is that when we get hurt, the body releases chemicals call endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers. These can give you a rush and make you feel awake. Same thing happens when you excercise. =] It doesn't mean you're weird or different from anyone else. Everyone has different reason for self harm too.
There are a lot of questions on here, asking for ways to quit because it really is a risky thing to do and almost always grows worse with time. Even though it helps, after awhile most people come to realize that it actually makes life harder in the long run, and isn't worth all the shame and having to hide it.
Just because you don't want to quit right now doesn't mean youre a bad person though! It's hard to want help because in all honesty, it does help for a little bit. You might not be ready to stop yet. There are many alternatives you can try to replace bruising yourself though such as squeezing ice cubes or snapping a rubber band on your skin.
I also know of a couple amazing support sites, with forums filled with teens who can relate, and won't judge you for anything or try to push you into getting help or quitting. Check them out if you want =]
