Is this just a faze?!

Is this just a faze?

the other day I was really worrying about alot of things going on in my life right now. and I guess the best way to put it I was in an "Emo" mood. I was focusing on all the negative things in my life. Anyways I just grabbed my hot straightenning Iron and stuck it to my arm. The burn wasnt that bad,... but thats not the point. I have a great life... great friends and I have never done anything like this before. But since I did it I cant stop thinking about doing it again. Is this just a faze ... or the start of a problem?? help I dont want this to become a part of me.

I think you've got the start of a problem on your hands. People don't have phases of burning themselves, thats just not how things work.

Also, I think you've got a good chance at beating it. You're obviously an intelligent, rational person for the most part. You noticed the problem, and you're taking a first step to do something about it.

Now, decide what your next move is. Tell your parents, tell a counseler, tell a friend. Do something. Hell, email me if you want (or IM me my AIM name is the same as my name on here)... You'll get through this.
