Emo and dating don't mix?!
Question: I think I'm losing my mind. I overeacted to something, lost control. Then had a MSN conversation with a bunch of couples, that ended with each one saying "I love you". I felt really emotional, I grabed my poket knife... Then I slit my wrists 3 times, threw up, now I feel like a wussy emo kid. My wrists keep bleeding, it feels so bad. At the same time it takes the pain away...I don't know what to do. I honestly think I'm going insane..

Are you allowed to express your emotions at home even anger? When using cutting its just a coping skill you have chosen to express yourself. I know for myself I didnt really know how I felt until I cut myself. Sometimes I will hurt so much I will get panic attacks and dry heave. Learning how to express intense emotions is wicked hard. I had to get a social worker to help me out since I didnt really have anyone else to explain things to. Try talking to someone you trust about what is going on.
I feel that way with my suicide attempts. I think I do it just for that feeling you get afterwards, not so much to kill.
hey just stop cutting, i kno it sux but i dk see some one about this cuz that sux to be that emotional
Hmm...
I see this a lot with kids now-a-days. If you can, try to find an outlet for your anger, happiness, anxiety, etc like playing video games, listening to music, taking a walk, drawing...something.
Instead of doing severally drastic that you may resent yourself for a little while later, try to focus yourself on a good hobby or on something that helps you deal with your emotions.
If you really need to talk to someone that is great, just please make sure you contact someone who will really listen and help you, not make you feel worse than you do or isn't really there for you.
All the best.
Why don't you take advantage of some counseling from proffesional therapists? And avoid emo emulating groups, that's contagious obviously.
oh.
well, bandage the cuts, you know, so theres pressure on them. so the blood can clot better. if it doesnt get better, then sorry,..
-good luck
go see a doctor.
You would be insane if you didn't realise that what you had done is over the top.
So no you are not nuts.
Having said that, self mutilation is not generally considered a healthy emotional response. Girls tend to do it through other ways (eating etc.) Guys have a habit of mangling themselves one way or another. It's not that uncommon, you are not alone in this, but it is definitely not healthy and you need to get some help.
Talking to people on line with lol is nice, but it's obviously opened up a can of worms for you. If you won't go and talk to your doctor or a counsellor, please phone Lifeline or a similar organisation and talk to someone on the phone the next time you feel like doing something like this. They can help you understand what is going on and won't judge you.
Don't let the bleeding go on and on. You might need some sutures. So at the very least, get on to that.
dude...you're not emo.
emo is a music genre.
stop being a poser. you don't have to be a cutter.
grow up.
