Idk how to feel =/ ive started cutting the inside of my hands!.!. and no im not an emo,i don't do it out of trend or whatever!.!. and i want to stop but then i dont!.!. none of my friends know,only my parents!.!. idk anyone have any suggestions on how to stop or something!?

Answers:
One I do have to say you are cute ( I'm not like that)

But I know where you are hon!. I used to cut and honestly the only thing that help was my therapist, we talk every night I don't see her to make sure everything is ok!. But If I self harm then we can't have that check in and it sucks when we don't!.

It is a hard thing to stop, trust me!.

has your parents talked to you about this!? Would it help if you gave everything to them!?

you should maybe see a therapist, I mean there is a reason you are doing this and you need to vent to someone!. You should try it!. It really dose help!.

If you need to talk i'm here, or have anymore questions let me know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Um, can I ask what your first or last name is!?

and hun, I think you should just tell your parents how you feel and the whole story, and tell them you want help and maybe they will take you to rehab!.

Self mutilation is very bad, those people in rehab will get to the route of your problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

So are you complaining that the parents didn't pay enough attention!? Is that why you're doing it, to get attention!? And you're putting your pics on the worldwide web!?
Did you want them to show shock/horror and carry you off to a psychiatrist!?
Just curious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

So youre doing it to get a reaction!?

Im just curious, why do people cut themselves when the are depressed!? I mean i know that hurts, and wouldnt pain make you feel worse!? I mean i know i dont like it when i like accidently get cut or something, but i dont know!. I really dont think you should be cutting yourself, you seemed very pretty in your picture, i dont get why you would do that to yourself!. But theres a lot i dont know!. Maybe you could try to talk to your parents about it a little more, or go talk to a school couselor!. If you wanna talk some more, just email me later!. but i hope you come to a solution!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Please, do not take offense from what I am going to say!. But it is very clear that your actions are desperate cries for attention!. Please seek therapy or counseling immediately!.

I looked at the pictures, but I offer you no sympathy!. Please seek help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you were my daughter, I would be very concerned!. Can you seek help at school with school cousellors!? Ask your family doctor!? It's bad that your parents neglect to help you, but you need to take it in your own hands!.

My mom used to beat me every other day until I bleed sometimes!. She gave me attention alright, just not very soothing ones!. She started abusing me since I was 7!. I got away from her when I turned 16 to half a globe away and lived on my own with no friends or relatives!.

Self imposed injuries is bad!. You can't run away from yourself, no matter where you go!.

You are a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart I am sure!. Love yourself!.

I think your parents are just too upset to deal with it or they simply are just too disturbed to deal with it!.

I have a daughter, I would know how they must feel!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

FIRST OF ALL THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION!!. Maybe your parents didn't react because they knew that a reaction is what you were looking for and they didn't want to feed into your attention seeking behavior!. Try getting their attention a different way like getting good grades, dying your hair or getting a part time job!. You should really see someone professionally about the depression like the above nurse suggested!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Self mutilation is very serious!. You need to seek out a therapist that specializes in this type of behavior before you commit suicide (either intentionally or accidental)!.

By the way, I didn't look at your pictures and I hope that no one else does either!. You didn't get the reaction from your parents that you thought you should get, so you are seeking a reaction from strangers!. You need that emotional pull and I hope no one here provides it as this is an unhealthy place to get it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
