self harm

[deathvalley]

hi i am not a cutter but i rip off all of my scabs and existing cuts. if i have chapped lips i will rip the skin off and get blood everywhere. there are cuts on my fingers that have never healed because i tear all the skin as soon as it starts to heal. every night i wrap my hands, arms, legs, and mouth in paper towels to stop the bleeding. sometimes i will fall asleep and when i wake up my clothes will be covered in blood,and i will be in so much pain. i am constantly sneaking to wash cuts, and wash closthes and hide it from my parents. one time my brother caught me in the bath room at 3 am with blood all over my neck and chin from my cut lip. thats how bad it bleeds. i dont know why i do it because it causes alot of pain and stress the next day. it is just so relieveng at that moment. i am not even sure why i posted this but i need help and replys.

Ok, this sounds like self-harm to me. Is there any specific pressures which make you feel like doing this?

[deathvalley]

no not really its just a bunch of stuff that has piled up over the years and a lot of problems i have been having lately.

I would go see a therapist

I have been doing this sort of thing (though not as bad) for nearly the whole of my life, but I don't see myself as having been a self harmer for that long.

If there are things that have been building up for years then you need a way to vent out your anger/frustrations. If you don't then this could very well become a much bigger problem. Speak with your doctor about help and support which is avaliable for you.

thanks i will try to go see my doctor. but its really weird because my parents have always thought i was the more stable one in my family. and they always thought i was not like that but they just dont know.

That's self harm, love. You need to go seek help before you turn to cutting, burning and such.
