Painless way to cut your self? ( don't judge please)?!


Question: Painless way to cut your self? ( don't judge please)?
Okay so I'm having a hard time. My mom is bipolar screams and yells at me. I'm doing terribly in school. I lost my brother when he was young he died. I've been cyberbullied several times. I cant take it anymore. I've have suicidal thoughts and the closest thing I Did to hurt my self is take a dull knife and just tear agent my arms. It just cuts off the one layer of skin. I don't bleed. I don't think I'm pretty and I just want to die. Ive told my best friend but she's like oh your not seirious and stop acting *****. I can't tell my mom I'm too scared... I just don't know what to do...

Answers:

Ok, firstly when you cut yourself the pain is there to tell your body that you are being cut! (i.e. a survival mechanism - so something which you should not be doing to yourself).

The many issues you have presented here are complex and sound as though they are not easy to solve. It does however sound as if you are depressed (which can also increase your chances of feeling suicidal. When you do start considering suicide, the first thing to do is stop and have a real think about it, surely when you kill yourself there is no more second chance to fix things and the world will be a worse place without you in it.

Your mum sounds as though she has issues too, and if she is bipolar then be aware that depression can run in families (so other family members could also be depressed). As I do not know the issues with your mother fully it's hard to suggest anything except maybe talking to her and addressing why things are going wrong. Surely she doesn't want to shout and fight with you (it just makes both sides feel bad).

Loosing a family member/friend can be hard and does put extra pressure on you. Have you allowed yourself to grieve properly and come to terms with his death?
With the bullying: don't take it to heart, most bullies have troubled lives themselves. Feel secure with who you are and try to feel happy about yourself. Your school grades are probably suffering due to all the problems you are facing. Additionally it can be hard to stay motivated and feel like it's all worth it - but trust me working hard in school can pay off later in life: so please keep trying.

No matter what you look like i'm sure you are pretty - just remember beauty is not all about how you look. If it does make you feel better: remember even the most beautiful people fade and the only beauty which sticks with you is the one on the inside. Just think about any supermodel now and in a number of years they won't look as good!

Your friend was wrong to respond to a cry for help in that way. If you are seriously having these problems/thoughts then I would advise you to talk to someone you can trust (but don't overburden them). Talk about your problems rather than the suicidal thoughts - as if you deal with the root problem the suicidal feelings should reduce (it can seem scary to approach someone, but it is an important step to helping yourself). Don't try to deal with this on your own if you can't - seek help: even if it's from a professional (as many do confidential services). I really hope thing do get better for you, but try to fight these feelings/thoughts (and don't cut yourself!).



You don't really have a question. But there really is no painless way to cut. That's why cutters do it. The pain from the cut brings relief. You can find other ways to cope. Try talking to someone or do something positively active, like running.



Why would you want to cut yourself with no pain unless it was for attention?

Take painkillers or something.



You need to be put on medications



There is no painless way. take a razor blade if you are serious.



how about uuuuuh....not cutting? I think that would work best



I don't think you really want to cut yourself.
Cutters want a sense of control, but they also want to feel physical pain that distracts them from their emotional pain..the endorphins also help. So please don't just cut for the sake of cutting.
You will regret it. I don't know any cutters who are glad they started, or aren't embarrassed or sad because of their scars.
You need help. Do not be scared to tell someone. It seems really hard and scary, but it is common to feel this way. Do you have any trusted adult in your life?
If not, go to your school counselor. They deal with these problems all the time. You can receive the treatment you need. I'm not sure how old you are, but you seem young.
It will get better.
If you need someone to talk with, or have questions, send me a message through my profile.
Good luck.
