Jeeeez *Trigger*

I've had the biggest scare of my entire life, my heart is beating out of my chest!

Basically, long story short, my girlfriend thought she was pregnant. She's on the pill but she has also been sick and a doctor advised her to get a test, which I thought would be positive (because I'm unlucky). Well we just got the news and it's negative, everything is fine BUT I've spent all day long freaking out and now I can't calm down. I knew I would have to carry on SH tonight, I'd planned it all out, so now I won't be able to stop.

I know this isn't really anyone's problem but my own, it's just after being on edge so badly all day I'm a nervous wreck and even though it's good news that doesn't change it. I need to see at least some blood so I can lie back and finally breath.

I'm going on and on but I'm freaking out and I'm not sure where to turn or what to do after today.

You don't need to see any blood to calm down and reassess a situation, your brain thinks you do, but you don't.
You're your own worst enemy when it comes to self harm, and the only thing you're really fighting with is yourself. Those cuts aren't making you any less of a nervous wreck, infact they're doing quite the opposite, they're making you dependant on the feeling it gives you when you don't really need it at all, nobody needs to hurt themselves.
Alas, it's impossible to get better until you actually want to, and nobody said it was a golden path of ease, but it's not worth spending the rest of your life with a razor by your side, because there's so much better out there which can help you. There's different ways to let build ups of emotions out, and those emotions undoubtedly aren't stored in your bloodstream, they're in your head :hug3:

If you want to see blood draw lines on your arm or put red food colouring in ice cubes- this way you can see red and feel the pain.
Talk to professionals, seek help, it's really good to talk to someone about how you feel.
Your girlfriends not pregnant- good isn't it? Try and stay calm. If anything happens again that freaks you out, do something that distracts you or go out with your mates.
Look on the bright side sweetie, you have a loving family who care, friends, and people on this site who want to help. I will always be here if you want to talk about anything. But you can also talk to professionals online- Samaritans and childline are good- so if you freak out you can also email them.
Pm me if you wanna talk about anything, if your freaking out please talk to me and if not me then someone else. Try not to harm yourself or plan anything because if things get better then that will make you feel bad for not harming. So don't plan ahead.

If your not ready for a pregnancy you shouldn't have sex.

If your not ready for a pregnancy you shouldn't have sex.

Not really, just be careful -.-

I know how hard it is when you've got all these urges and thoughts going through your head, but i'm sure you know that it won't help in the long run, there are lots of things you can do to distract yourself, ice cubes, elastic bands, listen to music or watch a film, go out with friends and have a good time, anything you like. Just remember that you are worth so much more than what you think.

I used to think that self-harm was the only way out too. But, what you really need to do it to distract yourself from the urge so Self-harm. The best cure for me was to watch a comedy movie or TV show. This will distract you from these unwanted urges to Self-Harm and perhaps even cheer you up a little. However this technique is not always best for everyone. If you have an clay or foam stress balls, feel free to squeeze the hell out of them. Also, another Idea is to Run. Now I hate running, but running hurts me in other ways besides Self-Harm (Like my legs or lungs). This running pain will distract you and can definitely lower the intensity of your Self-harm urges. I hope this helps
