I need help really quick, I have a blade, I havent cut for months but I feel I n!

Don't listen to the idiots calling you an emo. I understand that self-abusive behavior can give you release... but it will only prolong the problem. I used to be similar with a drug addiction. I believed I didn't deserve happiness, just please don't do this. You deserve better. Call a friend, listen to music, go excercising. Do anything to try to get yourself out of this mood. You don't need to cut.

To the others who want to call her emo or a pussy, don't bother. It's a heartless thing to mock someone in pain.

If you do this again you could easily relapse into the pattern of self abuse.

I used to hate myself, I survived a natural disaster, people I knew died. I still wonder why I'm alive rather then them. I began abusing myself through alcohol and smoking, I hated myself life didn't seem worth living I felt like a disgrace. You can overcome these feelings, no matter how bad it seems at the time. Giving into these feelings is easy, believe me I know. But the rewards for resisting the urge for self abuse outweigh the release it'll give you at the time. Clearly you arn't a bad person... truly bad people don't feel so guilty. As I said before, find something that you enjoy, read, listen to music, see friends or anything else you feel will take your mind of pain.

If you do this you will have to try and stop again. If you don't give in to this, then you have beaten
this again for today. One minute at a time. You don't want to have to go through all that you've been through one more time.

It's obvious you've come very far. You can find a release, you have to find a positive one.
One that doesn't send you backwards.
Get on the phone and talk to a friend, call a helpline if you need to. Look outside and stare at the moon.
Dance around. Take a cold shower.
You are stronger than you think and you can win. Don't scar your body.

Okay listen to me right now. I know exactly how you feel. I was clean for months and then somehow, I got a knife, and I needed to. I didn't have anyone to stop me so I did. Yes, in the moment it felt good, but afterwards? You feel terrrible. And waiting for them to heal seems to take double the normal amount. Go for a walk, talk a shower, or call a friend. Do something to get your mind off it. Trust me, you don't wanna do it again. It's so stressful to hide.

personal.

Hey there, I wont judge you, but whatever the case may be, PLEASE take a look at this with an open mind and heart.

throw it across the room and run to the bathroom and take a nice relaxing shower, do it NOW

Call out to God, throw the blade away, pray for His help.

I will pray for you, hun. :(

One form of self help is to learn, and employ emotional distress tolerance techniques; read: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook: Practical DBT Exercises for Learning Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, & Distress Tolerance (New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook) by Matthew McKay, Jeffrey C. Wood, and Jeffrey Brantley. Self harm produces opiate like endORPHINs, which, like true opiates such as heroin (diacetyl mORPHINe), make you feel better, but are just as addictive, and you develop tolerance to them, needing to cut more, and deeper, later on, just to get the same effect. Practice a relaxation method, daily, and when needed, such as: (free) http://www.drcoxconsulting.com/managing-… or http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/mindbody…

Tai Chi, Qi Gong, or yoga suits others better. Give the EFT a good tryout, to see if it helps you. It is free via the searchbar at http://www.mercola.com "EFT" & "EFT therapists", or via www.tapping.com (13 free videos). Professional is best. There is a version for use in public places, (if you want to, you can claim to have a headache, as you massage/lightly tap your temples, but you would then be restricted to subvocalising: saying it to yourself in your mind: "Even though I self harm from emotional distress, I deeply and completely accept myself." Later on, most self harmers realise that it is no real solution to their problems; they have to find another way, and then they are faced with a mass of unsightly scar tissue, which they find difficult to explain, and which can adversely affect their social lives, and careers. Dispose of your cutting implements. Use one of the alternatives shown, such as snapping a rubber band against your wrist, or holding an ice cube. Seek therapy, to help you address the actual cause of those problems, rather than using an inappropriate method of treating the symptoms, which others have found, doesn't work, in the longer term, and that leaves behind the extra problem of scarring to deal with, then.

Consider taking up amateur abstract, impressionist, or surrealist art, clay modelling, designing and/or making fashion, or jewellery. Journalling those thoughts, and feelings, poetry, or story writing are some more options.No-one ever has to see them, but you may well surprise yourself at how good you become, with experience. Even if not, and you are totally dissatisfied with every single effort, it will still have served its purpose. Use that emotional energy, and allow it expression, through an activity other than self harm. Keep occupied; multitask, like listening to music while surfing the 'net. Join a support group, such as http://dailystrength.org and go there when you feel the urge to self harm. Books: Self-Harm: A Psychotherapeutic Approach by Fiona Gardner, & Alive and Cutting: A teenager's journey in therapy to understanding her self-harm by Richard Bryant-Jefferies, & Read: Scars That Wound, Scars That Heal: A Journey Out of Self Injury (Live Free) & Stopping the Pain: A Workbook for Teens Who Cut & Self-Injure by Lawrence E. Shapiro & Understanding Self-Injury: A Workbook for Adults by Robin Connors and Kristy Trautmann, from your bookstore, or enter "self harm" at Amazon.com for more media. Because of the association between Borderline Personality Disorder and self harm, view http://www.essortment.com/all/borderline… and pages G & X at 8m.com, below.

It is a good idea to have an accountability partner; someone you trust and is available anytime, so when you feel like you want to self harm, you call them and talk about why. Advice from an experienced psychotherapist is here: http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind… Hypnosis is merely a heightened state of suggestibility, in which you are better able to communicate with your subconscious mind. 85% of people are suggestible, to some degree, so you could either seek professional hypnotherapy, or, if not an option, more alternatives along such lines are at http://your-mental-health.8m.com/blank_2… where this came from, with alternatives, self harm hotlines, chat sites & forums on page A. If harming out of depression, (a quiz is at http://psychcentral.com/depquiz.htm ) see pages 3, and B.

I am very sorry that you are hurting. Self-harm is one way of dealing with emotions and other stresses. It is not very helpful though and there are many different options that you could explore that may be more beneficial as coping skills.

Self-harm is viewed as a psychological and sometimes physical addiction. It is similar to substance abuse addictions and gambling addictions for example. This does not mean that stopping is hopeless. Knowing that it is an addiction helps to understand that you may be at a point where you are lacking control if you cannot stop and you need to get help. If it is an addiction then it is not uncommon for you to "crave" or have urges to do it again. I have been through it. Just know that this moment will pass and you can maintain your recovery.

Please check out this website: www.twloha.com
They are pretty amazing people and they offer hope and a community to individuals struggling with Self-injury and other related problems. They also link to resources like therapist finders and support groups.

Also, this website is very informative:

http://www.self-injury.org/

Just a warning that it is a christian website, so that might not be your thing but there is a lot of good things they talk about that aren't related to faith. Especially if you go to the links section it offers resources on clothing that will help hide scars. I say hide scars not hide cuts because I really believe you can overcome this and get help.

I have been free of self-injury for a little over two years now. For the first year I counted the days I had been without it. You will get through this!

I read your question but all I heard was *WAAAAAHHH I think my life sucks even though there's real suffering in places like Africa WAAAAHHHH* I hate emos so much. Try living in Iraq, youpussy.
