Getting worse?

[Fiction]

Everytime i burn its worse than the last. I'm sllowley hurting myself more and more and i really don't know how to stop. I've tried but its not getting better... its not even staying the same its getting worse. I fell like i'm drowning under it now. i don't know what to do.

If you know that it's not something you're able to handle alone, get help.

you sound like you are pretty depressed. i'm going to say something you aren't going to like to hear now.

you've posted on here a lot now. you have only seemed to have gotten worse. it appears we can't help you.

you need to help yourself. pull yourself out of this. you want to live? you want to be happy? do it. stop self-harming. stop being miserable. get some help. i don't really care from where, just as long as you get help.

everyone on vt is willing to talk to you, to offer advice and help. but only as long as you can accept help and get it for yourself.

Do you have any personal problems?
If you do just don't think about them. I know it is hard but at least try. Think about something positive. That should help if you are in that situation.
If its not that. You are just feeling like doing it, think about your dreams and goals. If you don't have one make one. Think what you could do for yourself.

Think of some activity that you can do to keep you busy.Maybe play a sport, dance, join a club, or hang out with your friends.

i think you should get help. find a friend you feel particularly close to, and one that you know wont judge you, and just vent about your feelings to them. Whenever you feel like self-harming, call them and tell them how you feel and talk to them about it. Everyone on this site is willing to talk to you and help you. you can PM me if you ever feel like you want to talk, i always reply within a day.

Find a distraction, absolutely anything. Go out for a run, punch a pillow until the feathers come out, write your feelings down, anything that makes you feel better, except self-harm.

This might sound harsh, but to get better, you need to help yourself, you need to be the person that asks for help, and make yourself get better. i know it's hard, but with your friends support around you and everyone on this site supporting you, it is possible.

Maybe you're a pyromaniac?
There are other possibilities outside of depression.

Did it 3 times today... a record for me :/ A few of my very close friends know and i know i'm so weak because i can't even get the guts to ask for help. I can't do it i just can't. Me and my parents don't get on too well and the thought of them knowing... its just horrible. And i've tried hinting to doctors.. ir eally have but they never get it and i can't tell them outright. But if doctors don't notice maybe i don't really have a problem maybe its just me over reacting. idk anymore :/

You're not overreacting - take gut reactions seriously, they really do say a lot sometimes.

Have you thought of getting a friend to perhaps, accompany you to ask for help, or even notify someone for you? There are always different ways to approach anything, ways to get around emotional barriers that perpetuate an undesirable situation. But you've got to actively try something, whether that be seeking help or a change of sorts in your life - nothing ever really 'disappears' randomly on its own.

I'm not sure about the policies over at where you live, but I've been able to request that self-harm be kept confidential in my own experience with professionals - at 13 years of age.

Best of luck to you.

take our suggestions and you will prosper. i believe that you may need to see a doctor about your burning because its not only unhealthy, but it's not helping your situations in any way. I hope that you find a way to release weather its through sports or just talking to someone. Heed my word it will not get better if you continue to hurt yourself. if you need someone to talk to im here do not hesitate to PM me.

Agree with the people above me. You need to seek help before it gets even worse. If you see a doctor, they're not inclined to tell your parents because of confidentiality reasons. Talk through the options with your doctor, and see what can be done. If you feel you need to talk to someone feel free to contact me, you're more than welcome to any time.
