The first thing I'd suggest is don't be too hard on yourself. Self harm / self injury is more common than a lot of people think. You are not alone.

I'm 34 years old and I have self harmed for as long as I can remember. I have just recently stopped hiding and I have told my closest friend. She has been very supportive although she doesn't fully understand why I do it.

As you can see by at least one immature answer you've received (some people need to grow up and get an education), many people choose not to educate themselves in order to see the true picture.

Do you have anyone close to you you can confide in? I'm not just talking about the self harm because it is usually a coping method and a sign of a bigger issue. Do you have anyone you can talk to about what makes you self harm?

I have recently found a website to support those who self harm and educate those who don't.

Here is the link:

You will find some very understanding and compassionate people there.

Please go easy on yourself.

Take care.

Talk to someone about it and dont be afraid. Your family and friends are there to support you so they will help you and not give out .

Tell a trusted adult ASAP!
You can get help, and things will get better.

first off stop being emo and be a man stop crying all the time
you poor person!!!!

I'm really sorry you are at this point of your life.
I was in the same spot 3 years ago. Cutting 7-10 times a day.
Life just didn't matter to me anymore. You just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel right now; but it's still there!!
You won't stop hurting yourself until YOU decide you need to. I hit that point after I had cut myself over 150 times with a razor and I was crying in my room. I thought; does this help? does it make my life better? and the answer was no.
So; I started going to therapy; talking to my closest friends about it and I bought the book about SAFE; a program you can do at home to stop cutting and get some healthy ways to cope with things.
It really turned my life around. And I joined an online forum for people you self injured; you'll need that support and understanding that you will not get anywhere else but with people that have gone through/are going through the same thing.
Good Luck. Be Strong & if you need to talk; I'm here.

You have to figure out another outlet and seek counseling, I know what its like i delt with it for 10 years. I felt there was no other way. It is scary and all but it takes self determination and lots of strength on your part. stop now because one day your going to look at your body and hate what you have done to yourself. Nothing is bad enough to harm yourself. To bad its taken me 10 years to figure it out. Seek counsuling or just find someone to talk to right away. sweetgirl2821@aol.com if you need to talk ill listen. Just remember this is a weird illness most people dont understand. They think if you want to stop you will and its all for attention but its hard to stop. Seek help.
