How can I pull out of this?!
Question: Okay...
I was feeling fine about two or three weeks ago. Now I am feeling really down and have restarted with self-injury. I've done three cuts and I stopped myself from doing more by doing the rubber-band snapping thing.
I want to pull out of this, I was doing very well and feeling normal for about two months, I don't want to go back into feeling depressed and out of it. I especially don't want my SI to come back in full force.
I don't know what made me feel like this again. My uncle and cousins recently came up to visit from Florida and his leaving did bring my mood down. However, I thought I was stable enough to not have to resort to SI, also it goes beyond just being upset that they are gone.
I'm having feelings that have no relation to that. Like feeling that I'm not doing enough and I'm not good enough, and feeling like no one wants to hear what I have to say, just generally feeling very rejected and feeling like I can't connect with people.

I know you are going to get this a TON, but I know how you feel. I recently got out of the psych. hospital. I was in for self-injury, I knew I had to go or I would kill myself. I was diagnosed with BiPolar Disorder. I don't know everything about you but medicine helped me a lot and I read a book about SI. And talking can help too. You can go to my profile on Y!A and email me. I wouldn't have to know your name or where you live or anything.
Watch Happy tree friends on youtube.
it makes me smile when im down. ^_^
It takes time and there is such a thing as relapse with cutting. It is considered an addiction. It makes you feel good for a while and you want to do it over and over again. You just have to get back on the horse and start over. Please don't give up hope. Seek help in tese situations. Take care.
Get addicted to something else (hopefullly not drugs).
Get yourself some professional help. Maybe try writing a diary to see why you feel this way at times and what starts it off may help. Also it can be an age thing. Good luck!
Zack, I know how you feel, but if you hurt yourself, you're only hurting your family and friends. Think about the people who care about you, think about the things you like to do. Make a list and do them, try new things. There's a quote that i follow whenever I'm down(well actually more than one) When someone suffers much in life their reward will be greater in the end. I'm not saying when you die, but when you get out of all of this, you'll look back and think, "well i may have suffered years ago, but now i have all i could ever want." but rewards don't come without trying, so try to live, experience the things in life, be happy, think about the things in life you love. You also have to look at all that's happening in a new way, think positive. Also try talking to your parents or friends, they care and they will do everything they can to help you. They care about you and they wouldn't ant you to get hurt.
Anyways if you want to talk about other things I'm here to listen, so you can email me at Lenorethm@yahoo.com
i hope this helps you, Lenore.
