Lately I've been struggling with not being able to cut. I've spoken to my GP about this but can't explain why it's problem. When My emotions build up to the point I need to hurt myself, I'm like a different person. I've been deliberately overdosing on paracetamol not with the intention to kill but as a way to help me feel ashamed and in pain. I'm finding it all difficult to cope with and I wondered if anyone else has been in this position before and if it gets better.

If you're fighting the urge to cut or self-injure, it DOES get better and easier to deal with. Please don't hurt yourself, overdosing is very dangerous. Have you considered getting a referral from your GP to a therapist?

Are you trying to stop SI ing and doing the OD to punish yourself as an alternative? I agree with getting a therapist to help you.
