Stop cutting yourself!. If your sister calls you fat, think about why she is saying it!. If you are unhappy with your weight, diet and exercise!. If you are happy with your weight, ignore her!. Talk to your friends and parents or whoever you feel comfortable with about your problems!.

Stop listening to MCR and you'll be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm really sorry your sister and mom treat you like that :( I have a few friends who cut and I went through a stage of clinical depression that's lasted between sixth grade and this year (I'm gonna be a sophomore), so I understand where you're coming from!.!.!.esp!. with the suicidal thoughts, but not actually following through or attempting it!. The worst my depression has been was probably this February and March, and the scariest part is thinking that it will never end, that things will never get better and you'll always feel like sh*t!. But now I feel 100% better and almost back to being happy and content!. So I can promise you that you won't always feel like this- of course you'll struggle a bit with finding another release than cutting, but it's worth it try to stop yourself!. And even if you're not able to stop cutting right away, it's a good sign that you realize it's getting out of hand and you're making an effort to stop!. If you want to talk some more, just message me and I'll give you my sn or myspace url :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm sorry I may not have the best answer for you and I don't have my space!. I have not cut and I'm not certain why you do but I've punched a wall or two!. I've seen some reports on it and it also seems to be a coping mechanism for stress!. It helps give you control of your own pain!. I do know about stress and pain and feeling hopeless at times!. Have you tried your own ways to calm yourself down other than cutting!. Have you tried loosing yourself in music, or a book!. I think the easiest way to divert your attention is to watch a movie!. I think if you find ways to distract yourself and give yourself time to stop listening and dwelling on the bull **** that has upset you it will help you learn better safer ways to cope!. And it is bull ****!. Don't give other people power over you!. Don't give them the satisfaction of having a negative effect on you!. You are in control of you and your thoughts!. The people who treat you with cruelty - if you really think about it they are not people you would want to be in your life anyway!. Your sister, I wish she knew how to be a real one - but in the mean time there are plenty of people here who can tell you the truth!. You are very important to us!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok, I have myspace but I would rather you email me on yahoo!.

First of, you need more than what Yahoo Answers can provide as far as help goes!.

You need to find a way to vent your frustrations and voice your concerns, and stresses in a positive way!.

I know that the cutting often takes your mind of the true pain, but the problem with that is now you have to problems!.
The first never went away and the second is well that you are cutting!.

Message me I want to try and help!.
I am not a doctor in anyway!. But I am a caring person!.
Who has seen a lot of people, with a lot of addictions and issues!.
I would be happy to assist as far as I can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's a hard habit to kick!. And it won't go down without a fight!. So neither should you!.

When you look in the mirror, what do you see!? Not who you are, but your faults!. Everyone has faults, whether physical or mental!.

Stop thinking of yourself as a mess!. You are human!. You are strong, whether you chose to except that or not!. You can do great things, and can be whatever you want to be!.

It's okay, I know how you feel!. I'd be lying if I said I've never contemplated suicide before!. But of course, I didn't do it!. And here I am!. Alive, not completely well, but okay!. Getting by enough!. Sometimes it's all you can do!.

It proves that you're strong that you haven't killed yourself!. You are stronger than an illness!. Stronger than those who make you feel this way and the emotions that drive you!.

You're far from alone!.

If you need extra help, try www!.teencentral!.net !. They help a ton and there are hotlines that you can call whenever you have any sort of suicidal urge!.

Stay strong!. Hope I've helped in some way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to cut alot too and still do on occasion!. I just smoke 30 cigarettes a day instead!. Not good!.!.!.I know!. When we cut, we're releasing a chemical called, "endorphins" in our brain!. These little things are relaxers and that's why after you cut you feel calmer and less frantic!. What I've found is there are LOTS of ways to release endorphins!. Anything from petting your dog to sex to jogging!. I REALLY understand what you're going thru because I've been there!.

hello!.!.!.well let me first say that i hope u dont actually kill youself, and although it may not seem like it now, things can always get better!. :) u are 17 and have a lot ahead of you and life is always going to change and put u to your wits end!. I am answering u back because this sounds familiar!.!.!.i felt like the world would be better off without me!.!.and thats not true because i started thinking about all the people i loved and loved me, then I took the initiative to better myself and my surroundings!. It starts with u on the inside, if u dont feel good about yourself, think about the things u really enjoy doing and do them try new things, talk to new people anything to deviate from where u are now and maybe u just might discover new things about yourself!. im 23 now and trust me the things i thought were stressful when i was 17 dont really have any relevance in my life now but I took the initiative to change that!.!. :) i wish u the best :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well for one I could tell you this might be just a phase!. Of course 3 years is along time but there's always chances!. I think if you get put down when people call you "fat" you should just ignore them and live your life!. Talk to your friends and explain them the situation!.!.try doing something else when your mad like maybe playing some stress game!. You could also take your mind off cutting and go outside and just take a walk for fresh air and think about your life!. I love myself to sit on my balcony and just discuss things over in my head, my day, my life, and basically everything that is going on!. I feel much better when I kinda talk about that stuff with my friends on the phone and just takes my mind off anything bad thats going on!. So like I said, think about your life and believe it every life is worth it!.!.doesn't matter if anybody puts you down by calling you "Fat"!? Ignore them and always remember that not everybody is perfect!. I'm 14 :pWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'm 16 and my step mom asked me to look at this and see if I could help since we seem to be around the same age!. I think that the simple answer is that you should talk to a doctor!. I know it sounds kind of bad, but no one has to know about it except your mom!. If you don't feel comfortable telling your friends that you're seeing a doctor because they'll call you "emo", then you don't have to tell them!. Anything you tell your doctor is confidential so that no one will know about it, including your parents!. The only exception is if you threaten to harm yourself or others, then the doctor has to let your parents know!. If you feel that you want to harm yourself or others you shouldn't keep this from your doctor to prevent them from telling your parents!. How will you be able to receive help if you don't!? By going to a doctor and telling them about cutting yourself, this may be a wake up call for your mom!. By seeing how serious the doctor is when she talks to her she'll realize that this is serious and that you want to get help!. When your mom knows that this is serious she may be able to help you more and boost your self esteem!. Doing fun activities with your mom or just hanging out and talking can boost your self esteem a lot, believe it or not!. Just having someone to talk to that you know cares can mean more than you think!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should smile more often!. When you're sad, don't let it ruin your day or don't waste your time dazing off of being sad!. Usually when I'm down, I usually do activities that I enjoy!. For example: bike riding, badminton, sports, drawing or even watching a movie!. And I advise you to stop cutting yourself, it's really unhealthy and it leaves scars and marks on yourself!. Even if you can't smile then force yourself to!. Everything in life is limited, so why further limit to how happy you are!? Also, you should just ignore your sister and be proud of yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Where are your parents!? Why are they not helping you!? If you were my daughter I would have you is therepy to help you if I could not help you!? Don't they care!? Does your sisters opinion really matter!? She is a ***** and you are fat, so what, you can lose weight, chances are she will never change her horrible personality! tell her that!. No deserves pain so stop it now!. When you get mad, write down your feelings in a note book and read it later when you feel better!. You have your whole life in front of you and you sister will not be around you after you are 18 most likely!. You must start planning your future and what you want to be!. Even my friends don't like to listen to other's problems!. That is why therepy might help you!. That way you have someone to complain to and you can just go have fun with those friends!. Hopefully in the future you will make friends who are truly not selfish and care and know that sharing feelings is a part of friendship!. You can use this as a tip though!. When you need to talk to friends, ASK them their opinion!. Say "what do you think I should do or What would You do in this situation" Ask an adult you know to get your into therepy!. Also you might want to say a prayer, cuz I guarentee God will listen to you and help you if you ask!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
