Answers:
You're turning your pain and frustration on to yourself, instead of being logical about the situation!. It could be that your girlfriend was embarrassed that she was in an abusive situation, and you don't know all the details about why she had to move, and how the move is affecting her!. Whatever the reasons are, you know that its absolutely not your fault, so there is no good reason to be hurting yourself!. All it does it translate the mental anguish into physical pain, but there is no reason for you to suffer like that!.

Self-injury can be very habit forming and addicting, and will be harder and harder to stop, the more you rely on it to help you with your problems!. Try talking to somebody else at school, maybe just starting with mundane things, and then building up to more of the issues you want to get off your chest!. Join a chat room if necessary ( there is a really great one called Bodies Under Seige for people that self-injure)!.

Any time you feel the need to cut yourself, think of something else you can do that cheers you up instead (read a book, watch a movie, eat pizza, walk your dog, etc) before you cut!.

Keep going to therapy so you can get your stresses off your chest with somebody who's not judgemental or biased!. Do some reading on what other people do for self-injury!. A great site that helped me a lot was (and the chat room in particular):

http://www!.palace!.net/~llama/psych/injur!.!.!.

I know there are more sites out there, but the people in the BUS chat I met through there have helped me a lot!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Please see a physician or a mental health professional!. You've had a very tramatic loss in losing your friend!. Since there's nothing you can do about it (her moving), you're hurting yourself (which is something you control)!. I'm sure that a professional can help you deal with the storm of emotions that I'm sure you're encountering!. I understand how painful that your friend leaving must be!. Best of luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, there is something wrong with you!!!! You aren't crazy, but you need serious help!. Seek medical help immediately and tell the doctor what you are doing and get referred to a pshychiatrist for much needed help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

emotions like this are normal for humans, taking them to that extent is not good though, i suggest talking to a psychologist, they will help you get over it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

maybe you should call a self injury hotline number, they can get you the help you need, and even prescribe you happy pills if you need them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

uuh you've turned emo!. talk to her again, rekindle your love for her ;D AND MAKE IF FAST!.!. Before you end up killing/really hurting yourself!.

[EDIT]
Talk to a conseller!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your not insane, just heart broken and you need some counseling!. I don't know what's wrong with kids now-a-days and physically hurting themselves and each other after heartbreak!. Back when I was a teenager (about 7 years ago) we had ourselves a good cry and leaned on our friends for support!. Then my friends and I would go out or stay home and watch movies together!. So it sounds like you need a good support group to help you and a change of perspective!.
(I also don't recommend taking happy pills because it doesn't fix the problem, it only masks it!.)
There is no sense in hurting yourself!. It doesn't accomplish anything and it will only make matters worse!. Remember it's only high school and it will end shortly, then your life will really start!. Since she left so abruptly because her mom needed to protect her, i'm sure you are on good terms and you might run into her again someday and maybe start a relationship!. The world is small now, especially with the internet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nah, you're not crazy!. Heck, I'd be depressed too, if I found out my girl was getting beat up every day and had to leave because of it!.

You should probably tell someone you trust about the self harm thing!. That can obviously leave scars and stuff, and it's pointless!. Since you're that depressed, nobody ought to blame you if asked for mental help!.

Best of luck!. I know it's hard to stop thinking about that sort of thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Peoplle hurt themselves for a lot of different reasons!. In your case I can only offer suggestions!.
You probably feel like you had no control over the situation and maybe your hurting yourself as a way of controlling how you feel, you can make yourself feel pain and that's empowering, (in a negative way of course) Or maybe you feel no control over her leaving and you're taking it out on yourself!.
You feel such a loss that you are replacing one painful feeling with another, emotional pain for physical pain!.
3 months may be a long time for some people but for others that feel things more deeply it's not!. Give yourself time to heal, loving someone can be hard especially when you have to let go because that person is no longer with you!. Try not to let your sadness get the better of you, try to do something each day that makes you feel happy or at peace, distract yourself with things you like to do or jobs when you feel the urge to hurt yourself, and if things keep on going this way talk to your doctor, sometimes mental health issues don't arrise untill we have a life changing event happen to us, like you have experienced!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are cutting, It needs to stop!. You might not realize it but you are doing it because while you are doing it the cuts hurt and not the fact that she left!. In other words you are hurting physically and not emotionally!. Please speak to someone about this!. You need help to stop at this point!. It can and will become an addiction!. Now is the time to get some help!. You are ready for help if you are asking this!. When you talk to someone who loves you, they probably won't know how to respond because it is very scary for them!. They won't understand because they can't imagine why you would want to hurt yourself!. Please don't be afraid to talk to someone!. You didn't say how old you are but talk to a councilor or your parents or another good friend!. Just tell them you need help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
