Help... Me...

[King_of_Hearts]

They did it... they finally did it... my parents finally took away all reason and hope I had left... My one reason was a girl... and they took her... this is the closest I have been to cutting since I made a promise almost a year ago... someone, anyone help me...

[Castle of Glass]

please, don't do it. trust me, it isn't worth it. it will eat away at you. no matter what you say, it will progress and become an addiction. if you have done it before, then you know how bad it can get, but if you don't, do not start. glance at this, this (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=190748) can help you. and find someone to talk to, be it a professional, friend, pet, or a random stranger in the internet, like me.

Keep the promise no matter how hard it is. If you made the promise to the girl then you definitely should keep it. Its the one thing you can at least remember her by and think of how broken both of you would be if you broke that promise. Why did your parents well... "Take her away"? Its hard to stop from relapsing especially if you guys arent near each other and you have nothing holding you back but remember this: We're all here for you no matter what happens

dont do it remeber that u made a promise and that she wouldnt want u to brake it weather u can be together or not u are stronger than u think u can do this find something to distract u walk play sports watch tv anything to keep u from cutting if it helps do the butterfly project with her name if u dont know what that is u draw a butterfly where u would cut write her name in it and u cant cut or the butterfly dies

I have cut before. I know how much of an addiction it can become. I have been fighting urges off almost everyday since I made my promise to stop... I pressed my favourite blade on my wrist until it hurt. Then I stopped for her. But it didnt stop me from dragging the jagged end up and down my forearm... My heart has been torn out. My life has no reason. But I want her to be happy. So I remain here an empty shell of myself...

[thatgothgirluknow]

im sorry u lost her but u have to overcome this trust me ive felt the same way several times but if u cut again ull just become addicted to it again cutting will solve nothing it only helps for the time being in the long run it only makes things worse

If you've been fighting the urges every day since you promised to stop, each day is an accomplishment of it's own. I'm really sorry you're struggling with all of this, I am well aware of how much it hurts, and I'm really sorry you feel so empty.
What has helped me is to hold onto something and just hold tight, for instance, you could hold onto the promise you made her, and that could help work through the urges

[King_of_Hearts]

Really? Every day is a accomplishment? It feels more like everyday is a lose... and without her... it will get worse... I drug myself through every god damned day because of her. She gave me the strength to not cut, burn, scratch, etc. Now days will feel like years and each one will be a new level of hell.

I just have no words and reading this just makes me want to cry.
Honestly I can't advise you... But what do you win if you cut. Cutting won't make her go back to you, will it?
Try holding ice... Find another coping mecanism... If you play an instrument, just play it a lot...
If you want to talk I'm here for you.

Don't do it !
Your parents don't know about your situation ! Don't cut yourself about your parents.
You have to be strong....

[King_of_Hearts]

Haha strong? Why do you think I am here? Why do you think my wrist isnt in ribbons? Why do you think I have kept my promise for a year? I have been strong for too long. Thats why I am here, asking for help.

[CRed]

Okay well you haven't killed yourself so obviously you have some importance. You need self help. Work it out with yourself to stop those bad habits of cutting, burning and whatever else. You don't need to depend so heavily on the girl or anyone, you have yourself. But if having that strong wall there helps you, then find someone. Do some stuff that has nothing to do with you hurting you, you can get over all this.

[King_of_Hearts]

Yes... I do have myself... that is all I have ever had... that is why I relied on her. She helped ease my pain.

Get distraction. As much as possible. Well, distraction in a good way then. I don't know your situation, but maybe you have some friends, family, or people via internet which you can talk with. Or just go with your hobby, draw, sing, dance a lot. Also, sporting helps. So just try to run or punch your anger/sadness out.
Again, I don't know your situation, so this might not be of any help, but you never know...

[King_of_Hearts]

Thanks all for the help and support... I am still here and still keeping my promise. Although it is sometimes hard to be here, I am. Life might be hell at times but I will just walk through with middle fingers held high.

I've found that's the best thing to do. Find something else to think about or do to keep your mind off of it...
