Cut up an apple into little pieces and eat it when you're done. Vent on this site or vent to my private messages. I would be happy to help.

I am still stopping myself from cutting. Instead, I just hit myself as hard as I can using the boniest part of my fists. That way, it doesn't leave evidence, and no one will ever know. Plus, I am such a failure that I deserve the pain. I just can't let anyone know. I can't mention therapy otherwise everyone will be ashamed of me. All the people around me believe that if a person thinks about death, something is mentally wrong with him or her. I mentioned dying once, and then I felt ostracized by everyone, even myself. There was a lot of drama concerning this in my house. And I cannot live through my family, teachers, and friends being ashamed of me again! It was a week of hell. It was hard to breathe, sleep, and eat. Things are better now. So, I've decided to stay with beating myself secretly as an alternative to cutting.
