I have self harmed since I was a teen starting with hitting myself and pulling my hair. I started to self poisoning and self starvation around 23 at 29 I started scratching on top of the self poisoning and starvation.
Now I cut pretty deep to the point recently I got a little worried about how deep the cuts I do are at time people know I cut but have started to voice concern at the severity. I normally cut my arms I know I should cut my legs to hide it but I am normally upset enough I don't really think clearly. I use sharp scissors even thought about razors but I am afraid if I go that route I WILL kill myself on purpose so I haven't bought any. When I poisoned myself recently I must of blacked out for what I believe was around 15 hours never done that before normally I am just really sick for a few days. I feel like I have lost control |

I'm 24 and have cut myself since I was 15. I have also developed an eating disorder that is seriously out of hand. I have also been hospitalized twice for attempted suicide. Believe me when I say I know how you feel. Just wanted to let you know that somebody is out here. You're not alone.

Is there a reason things have gotten progressively worse? Is it that as time progresses the lighter SI is less affective? Are you stressed out more?
Do you have a therapist? I know therapy has helped me. I think it also helps to talks to someone, so feel free to message me if you want to talk. Sorry no real advice. I like asking questions in attempt to help people better. |

My SH got increasingly worse, so I chose to be hospitalized, because I didn't trust myself. I think you should seek treatment (if you're not already receiving some), or receive help in the ER. If you are afraid you might do something, like I was, you should do something about it before you do.

As recommended to myself from another person here...
Razor (song) by Foo Fighters (I like their live version best) is a GREAT song that well relates what I feel. Maybe you will like it to? |
