I have been selfharming for a while now ,I started selfharming because I was getting bullied,i started feeling rubbish about myself and it was the only thing that I felt helped was to punish myself.I am still getting bullied now and along with other things going on too ,my selfharming has gotten worse,ive tried to stop hurting myself but because ive been doing it for a while now its really hard to stop.I feel really insecure because people say im ugly and fat and call me and emo .I feel like people hate me because of the way they are treating me and ive started hating myself too.I have really bad urges to selfharm right now and ive tried distracting myself but it isn't helping me ,I don't know what else to do.

Have you considered seeing (or asking your parents if you are a minor) a counselor/therapist? They can help you with a lot of coping techniques, and maybe even some defense mechanisms. I'm sorry that you've been bullied - I really don't understand the mind set between people who dehumanize others. Ugh. It just ticks me off. I am sorry that you've resorted to self harm. Have you tried the rubber band method (popping a rubber band instead of self harming in more permanent ways)?
