Hey bud, let's take a deep breath, I know it is hard at frist, I tried to stop three times before I finally did....I told my parents and they helped me the most, I was so afraid of what they would say when I told them, I cried as I walked out to tell them.

You can accomplish anything you set out to do. Read another book, play some video games or write a book. Paint a picture or draw one, I know you can do it, if you need to VM me. I am always up for a talk.

I know you can do it, you just need to believe in yourself, I know it is hard but I KNOW IT CAN BE DONE....

Come on here and vent all you want. That is why we are here. Talk to anyone who you trust. If they really are good friends, they will understand and help you through it. Write or draw your feelings, and shred the paper. Watch a comedy, do anything distractive.

The only way to beat this is believing on yourself. Without that, then you won't be able to do it. Say to yourself what you are doing, and why. Think about how a life self-harm free will be better. Believe that you can achieve that. It may come with some road blocks, but you will get there.

Good Luck, and VM me if you need anything.

Sweetheart, cutting never helps anything. You've heard this before but I'll say it again. One day you will wake up and realise what a mess you've made of yourself. Life is going to be hard. You're going to feel alone, hopeless, helpless, empty, terrible, miserable and angry time and time again in youre life. But you'll also feel happy and loved. You'll laugh, have fun, meet new people and find yourself along the way.

Courage is not in never falling but getting up every time you fall. You stumbled a bit, you feel like crap. Maybe you have no friends. But you can choose to pick up the pieces, smile, make more friends and be glad that thorns have roses.

Some people feel the rain and some just get wet.

Love,
Faith and Trust

Let's be real, self harm is a psycologica and sometimes physical addiction. You can't stop cold turkey most of the time, there will be slip ups.

If you do slip, don't beat yourself up over it. I'm not saying it's a good thing - far from - but these things do happen

i didnt slip up thank god majorly... the only thing i do now is if im talking to my GP or my therapist and im getting really worked up... i just like dig my thumbnail into my pointer finger now bleeding no scarring... i feel its a safer alternative then to actually cut. and still like soothes me a bit. but i havent cut since friday or so. one week so far :) very hard and i know its gonna get harder. one thing i heard was 21 days, if you can do something for 21 days then mentally your golden in a way is it true idk but i heard tht and im trying for it. just something to put hope on :)
and i told another close friend today about everything and then after school i told her tht i cut. and stuff (she didnt kno wat i meant) i explained it to her and stuff but im nvr showing her i dont want to hurt her and she gave me a really nice lovign kind of txt and it made me happy :)
sorry for pointless rant i just needed to smile today :)

You're fine, ranting is better than cuting or any type of SH, lemme know man if you ever need anything....this is a community and a community watched out for everyone no matter how new they are or old, you are family here and I think you are finally starting to get that.

Hang in there man. I know it is hard and it will get harder but just keep your head up and stay strong. I know it sounds easier than it is but you have to try. Like Steve said, you have to believe in yourself. If you don't think you can do it then you will fail. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
