I have never cut myself before, I have hit myself during nervous breakdowns, I have abused sleep aids before, a lot.
Yesterday I found out that plucking hairs is a way to cope with issues. So just now I tried it, plucking the tiny hairs on my upper lip. I did it cause I am feeling at the bottom of the pit now, I just got rejected again today, I have been rejected and bullied so much over the last few days more than I have ever in my life. I hate myself, I can't even look in the mirror at my full reflection, I just cant.
So, I have one of those small compact mirrors to look at my upper lip and I plucked a few hairs, suprisingly it helped a little with my depressed feeling, the stinging feeling and all. I have never plucked cause I was so depressed, abuse the sleep aids maybe, but never this. I am new to this. I just don't know anymore how to deal with this pain of self hate that I am feeling
I feel so worthless, I just had to find a way out, a way to deal with the self hate that I am feeling. I feel that I am on this earth to be a reject, maybe plucking is the answer to this hurt, I don't know, I just don't know anymore

not that hurting yourself in another way is better...since i need to watch my words in this forum but snapping a rubberband on wrist might give you the same 'satisfaction' without making yourself bald as you will move on to head hair eyelashes and eyebrows and such on.....i don't have any wise words to say i'm sure others will answer but,,,please don';t start anything new up yyou will just be even more depressed later on you are hurting yourself and then it wioll become this endless cycle that will take you forever or never to get out of

I'm sorry you got rejected.

For plucking the hairs - have you looked into getting a hair removal product, like a cream? Or going to a salon place and getting a wax done? At the very least, it will prevent you from having anything to pluck for a while. The problem with plucking hairs is that they can grow back but get infected and 'ingrown'. That's not good!

What have you done to help yourself cope, in a positive way? Do you have any healthy coping strategies, or someone to talk to?
