Wanting so bad right now to just cut and burn my arms so bad. It's taking everything I have to not just take a razor or lighter to my arm. I want to feel the burn or see the blood cause it makes me feel better cause I am punishing myself for everyone leaving me and for everyone treating me like crap. I must've done something wrong for noone to stay by my side. It just feels easier and less painful and heartbreaking when I take that razor or lighter to my skin. So why is everyone trying to take that away from me?

Thanks for sending me that. I apparently hurt myself in more ways than I thought.


One of the most common forms of self-injury is cutting, which involves making cuts or scratches on your body with a sharp object. But there are many other forms of self-harm, including:
  • Cutting
  • Burning
  • Poisoning
  • Overdosing
  • Carving words or symbols on the skin
  • Breaking bones
  • Hitting or punching
  • Piercing the skin with sharp objects
  • Head banging
  • Pinching
  • Biting
  • Pulling out hair
  • Interfering with wound healing
I do 9 things on that list =[

When to see a doctor

If you engage in any form of self-injury, even minor, or have thoughts of harming yourself, reach out for help. Any form of self-injury is a sign of bigger issues that need to be addressed. Self-injury contributes to a life of distress and chaos. It also poses the risk of serious injury, infection or disfigurement, or even death. And self-injury has some addictive qualities, making it very hard to overcome on your own.

While you may feel ashamed and embarrassed about your behavior, you can find supportive, caring and nonjudgmental help. Getting appropriate treatment can help you learn healthier ways to cope — ways that won't leave your body permanently scarred. Try to work up the courage to confide in someone you trust, whether it's a friend, loved one, health care provider, or a school or university official. They can help you take the first steps to successful treatment.
What do you think? Time for professional help?

You can work on these issues in therapy. I am sorry that you are punishing yourself and I am sorry that your relationships are distressful.

I'm not doing too good.... I managed to make it since friday without doing anything to myself but that was only cause a friend was staying the weekend with me but, I can't keep myself from doing it if im alone. When Im alone my mind wanders and I think about everything.

you shouldn't have to punish yourself for someone else leaving you, they are missing out on someone who is amazing. and you know you deserve better. everyone is amazing in their own way and if those people can't see it then its their loss, someone who understands will come along soon enough and make the wait worthwhile

Its scary cause my parents know I used to cut but they don't know I started back and I will get sent the the hospital if I tell a doctor or anything and then everyone will treat me like I'm crazy.

i wish you the best of luck. i know its hard to stop, i haven't stopped for more than a year myself. but regardless you ARE NOT CRAZY. i haven't done this yet, but maybe talking to a doctor would be helpful. what i do that helps is everytime i feel like SI-ing, i call a friend and just rant until i calm down and try to get my anger out in a diferent way.

depressedgirl, if you want to get better sometimes you have to trust people. Please consider telling your doctor. Ask your doctor to explain to your parents you are not crazy. Cutting is a symptom of problems that require attention.

Choose to get better.

But you were never hospitalized before? So just telling your parents and a therapist wouldn't have these repercussions because you wouldn't be telling the whole school?
