well...ive been called emo...and they're right.
i have a major problem with cutting myself, but with all the problems that are going on at home and all, i just have so much anger, that at the end of the day, all i wanna do is cut myself.
but, not only that, i burn myself. with salt and ice, and with a lighter.
i just dunno what to do any more.
i've tried to stop, but i cant. and my mom caught me the other day, so shes taking me to counselng and to a doctor. i've been goin a few months, and i still cant stop. i've tried just about everything that has been suggested.
please, if you have any suggestions, im willing to try them!

thanx for it all!

Try to find something else you enjoy. Whether it be art,writing,excersize or bungee jumping (:P), it will be better than self-harm.

If it's because of anger, try getting a punching bag that you can punch when it gets like that. Just take it all out on the punching bag, just to the point that the urge to hurt yourself goes away and you feel too tired to be angry anymore.

May I ask what you are angry with? Is it yourself or other people around you? Or is it a particular event?

Maybe try taking up a sport. Boxing, karate, judo, kick-boxing. Sports like these are great for exess anger.
