Self injury, what are your thoughts/comments?
what are your thoughts and comments on selfharm?
im now im grade nine and i've be hurting myself since i was in echelon four. its addicting to me, and way too hard to break the way especially since ive been used to it for so long.. after i did this http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc91/... (skinning my arm along concrete, which was like mad worse than it looks in this picture), i thought i would never hurt myself purposely again. but now that its heal, ive got cuts covering my left arm. im too terrified to get professional help although i know i NEED it.
Answer: I hold no history of self-injury, but lately I've had the uncontrollable nouns to break a bone or sprain an ankle. I just cannot get over the instinct towards self-preservation long adequate to get it done.
I'll probably do it eventually just to see what it's close to..
You know you need help, so the examine now is how to get it. Don't be terrified, professionals are only there to aid you, not harm you, they don't send you to incarcerate for hurting yourself. They help you find out why you hurt yourself, then support you deal with it. You can run to any teacher or couselor at school. A parent. But don't be discouraged if you stir to your parents and you are greeted with denial, no one requests to believe their child is harming themself. A family doctor is a accurate choice. Tell a friend you want help and ask them to tell for you. YOU WON'T OUTGROW THIS and YOU CAN'T DEAL WITH ON YOUR OWN. Next time may organize to extreme injury or death. Professional help may be the solitary thing that will help. Until you enjoy the courage to do that, you might want to go to your local library and look up books or CD's on cutting of self mutilating. There are seriously of helpful websites regarding this topic as capably, such as:

I'm sure it took a lot of courage just for you to ask your sound out! That is the first step... I hope you will get the help you want so you can lead a productive and fulfilling life instead of harm yourself repeatedly. Take care!.
I had like problem. I know how you feel. You need to find another agency to deal with your problems surrounded by your life. Giving your body pain will not pinch away the other pain of your problems. Its just a distraction. Having a diary help, or friends that will listen. And yes, therapy will help as very well. I hope you overcome this . Are you in school? Most school offer counseling. I think you necessitate professional help,Don't be afraid to go address to someone,This is nothing to be ashamed of.You have a long energy ahead of you,Well that is if you stop self hurting your self.I wish you the Best of luck!.
Don't you love your body? Why would you want to hurt yourself?
What are you trying to prove?
That you are injury prone?
Don't do it anymore. Have some command. Be responsible for your own health and well-being. Your body is on loan. .
Okay, um, the press is WHY do you do it?
.Because you heard so-and-so was "cutting" themselves? Or did you only just get up one day and enunciate "I wanna make myself bleed!!".
one of my friends write on thier skin with knife. you may need preffetional help. but if you can share by your self you can do it by yourself I've heard that sometimes people self impair to relieve tension. Find another way to relieve your stiffness, eg. exercise or sport.
.
You definitely need assistance... This is not normal... Please go catch help and quickly previously you progress to more damaging abuse.. Get help out and get it now.NOt solitary do you need help for you but don't ever own any kids if you dont get help presently..
Ok, I know you say that it is hard to carry professional help and that you are scared, but you do obligation the help. You need someone to confer to that is a professional and knows going on for cases like yours. You also may need medication and may suffer from depression or anxiety or both. It's ok I hold anxiety, but medication helps.
You need to sit down near your mom, dad, grandparent, whoever it is you love with and who cares for you and relay them that you have been doing this and you inevitability and want to stop, but you need help to do that.
They will support you and carry you the help you need I am sure. Your loved ones will support you and you aren't going through it alone they will be right in that with you.
I wish you the best of luck and will be praying for you..
I'm not sure of your query. I started at age 12. and am trying to stop now at age 16. My thoughts? It's addicting. yepp. It's hard as hell to stop and I'm not sure I even want to. I close-fisted...this is just the way i live. It's a short time ago habit. and living without it...forever?? I honestly can't dream up of anything more scary than that. But that's the thing. here IS life without it. And I'm still panicky but...from what I've heard it's amazing. to not have to hair it. to go swimming. to stop spending money on band aids and blotch reducer and stuff. to wear short sleeves and shorts. to not have to worry if a cut is infected. to not hold to lie to my friends and make excuses. to not verbs if it's bleeding to much. and after thinking about that, quitting at least seem worth a try. And you might need help to stop, and relating people about it can be horrific, but it's gonna be worth it. I promise. You're strong and we both have our whole lives surrounded by front of us. And I don't know about you, but I'm TIRED of worrying about getting blood on the bedsheets and freaking out when i cant find my blade right away within my purse. don't let this rule you're life. don't consent to this define you. you are so much more than a "cutter" or whatever.
and you deserve to be positive. the truth is, that once you show blood to the outside world, tiny microbes are able to seep surrounded by and since it has been cut, white blood cell are there to fight rotten infection, You may be becoming more immune to microbacterial germs, therefore you have more resistance to sickness.
Hey, I can't transmit you what you do to your body in this case...that's up to you. Like within my philosophy, what you do will eventually become a trend of its own.I really havent thought through that quote well enough, though I hope the point is near.Do what you like to do, if you like to hurt yourself, you can eventually soon teach little kids about hurting themselves...Good for you..
okay, i cant right to be heard that i know exactly what you are going through...but i know the feeling. i used to cut myself..some nights i would do it at lowest possible 5 times. it is a very addicting thing, and nought but yourself can make you stop. my dad tried to stop me once he figured out i be cutting myself, but it didnt ever work b/c i kept on doing it b/c i wanted to. you hold to want to stop. i can tell you right now that professional relief wont do crap. talking to some stranger about your problems is gonna be plentifully harder than just talking to your friends or familial b/c you know they wont judge you. you just own to commit to stopping. its a hard process and a very sturdy road that you have ahead of you, but if you put enough strength and idea in yourself i know you can make it through. 5 years is a outstandingly long time to be addicted to cutting yourself, but if you really truely want to stop, then you own to try. It doesn't matter what other's feel or meditate about self injury. What is important is that you hold recognized that it's not good for you! Allthough appearing completly different, self injury is principially not much different from incurable smoking, alcoholism, or any of the thousands of other compulsions and addictions. Professionals can help you to discover your motivation of why you're doing this to your body. Even though some individuals can stop these kind of behaviours on themself, most need to see and discover the persvective that individual others can provide. In other cases, medications are helpfull.
Your fear of asking for aid is understandable , but it is probably not as bad as you picture it to be. Everyone who has finally choosen to get the backing they need, is glad that they did it. The people trained to assist (medical associates, mental health professionals) have no prejudices (hopefully) otherwise they wouldn't belong contained by this field... good luck beside your recovery!.
Hey there.
Coming from a fellow self harmer, I know it's an addiction. It's a short time ago as addicting to people like us as alchohal and drugs are to other general public.
Yes, it would be healthier for you to stop. it would help your life span a great deal, I'm not going to deny that. But I'm not going to preach to you, either, because I've made no endeavour to stop so who am I to tell you what you should do?
The only article I'm worried about is WHY you do it. If you can find an underlying cause, and after work on fixing that then things will go much easier for you.
I've be into self harm since about seventh title, and believe it or not I knwo wht your going through. I'm not going to say it's not a bad item, because it is. But you seem to want help, by broadcasting that you do it, so I recommend you to go after what you think you want.
And please, please don't do the concreate thing again. That's very intricate to control infections if you do that. And anytime you do selfharm, becareful of that. Use peroxide and clean it very okay. I may not be able to make you stop doing it, but I can narrate you how not to mae it worse on yourself. Try explaining an infected concrete burn to Mom, see how well she takes it lol.
And eventhough I'm I stranger, if you ever inevitability to talk to anyone about anything, IM me.

I know i will carry many thumbs down on this but I have to be honest and specifically the only way i can answer these question because if i didn't do it honest then why would i want to be here at all to tell stories is to tell someone what you think they want to hear and not our true answers. I other thought anyone who hurts them self is sick in some way and they are any doing it for someone to feel sorry for them or doing it to punish them self for some reason an perception in the head or a thought of something they feel they needed punished for but then I read in the Holy Bible that nearby was a person whom have a demon spirit in them and they cut them self and so honestly i would say the bible doesn't deceit and now all i can regard as is that anyone who does this just needs serious pray and abet to stop doing it because they have no control of it them self.
