this is a distrction... i sooo badly want to cut..... so many bad things this week plus a maybe break with boyfriend.... i can't deal with all of this!!!
its getting harder to breathe.... i'm so upset, :(

Gee! go out and inhale fresh air, best thing ever.

um, i think you should just sit in a quiete corner ((maybe get rid of everything sharp first)) and just think about all the good things. if you hav a good guy friend, think of them and think of their smile. think of your family if they hvnt cause any issues, and think about the future and fulfilling a dream. then cry -let it all out. if you cnt do it, just get a very soft tipped pen and just right on yourself. worse you get are the bruise marks... and its less painful then actually cutting yourself...

I really sometime wish that I am near to those people you know.
It saddens me to hear to what they are going through of pain. But still, we are not there to save them, they must save themselves. And I assure you, you can save your self.

i got rid of all sharpish objects however i took a metal nail file to my skin tryighn to cut, didn't cut it just scraped no blood, kid of upset me... i did use your advce i drew on myself before htat... i jsut sort of gave up at the end... i figured whats the point?... i know bad.. thoughts... shouldn't think that...
fresh air does do good, however my house house an alarm on it... so i can't open windows..

It took me a while to stop, it wasnt as hard as I thought. It became more of a routine for me after a while, when problems faded, I continued to abuse over anything I could use as an excuse. While im not stating your using your problem as an excuse, I think your being quite harsh on yourself, you shouldn't get upset, it is a hard, addictive action to SH. When your time comes you will succeed.

Try to find things that you enjoy, You need a distraction where you wont feel the need to cut, you will find the time just floats by, dont stay at home alot either, I found bored made my depression a whole lot worst, I would sit at home on the computer, after 4 hours totally bored.....then I would be vunerable to problems that arose in the present to affect me.

Personally relationships are a bad idea whilst in a weak state of mind, I got hurt badly when I was cutting, It made me spiral in drugs, crime, harsher self harm like burns, removing flesh, and now my left arm is pretty much defaced permanantly since the scarring is too large to hope for "fading".

very true.. you made some excellent points... i'm glad you stopped. thank you for these words it has sort of made me think... i've been trying to stop since the day i started... hopefully one day i'll be able to

[Xistrance]

Yw. I know I come across a bit harsh, but I really do hope for everyone here with problems to get them sorted.

[Scarface]

cutting is not a good option im so glad you came here

[Asylum]

[Nelson]
