It Seems Like There's Nothing Else I Can Do

[ShinigamiMaiden]

I really really really don't want to cut. But it seems like nothing else will make me feel better. It won't make my family stop calling me an attention seeker. It won't stop my best friend hardly ever talking to me. It won't stop anything. But it WILL make me feel better...for about 10 minutes. Then i'll feel worse. There's just NOTHING else I can do. I just...I don't know what to do anymore...my life is a mess...i'm a mess.

You should have some time to yourself...maybe talk to your friend about why he/she wont talk to you. Try writing a diary and saying how you truly feel in their.
Its really sad that your famly call you an attention seeker :'(
Talking doesnt always work but with a bit of effort, you could make thngs slightly better xxx

i really understand how you feel, but just keep telling yourself that it won't change anything. it wont stop anything. and remember that it just isn't worth it. maybe talk to someone about the way you feel, and try to make them understand, even if it's hopeless, and they dont understand, i find that this way you talk more, and talking is good, and makes you feel better.
try distracting yourself in whatever way you can aswell. i dont know what else to say, but just remember that it isn't worth cutting. it wont solve anything, and you don't need to do it.

hope i helped
PM me if you ever need to talk x

oh, and remember everyone on this site is here to help :)

You've already said it yourself: Not only will it improve nothing in the greater picture, it will make you feel worse.

What you can do, is stand up against the compulsions which are feeding off your vulnerability, causing an increased dependency and weakness. That's not who you are, no matter how strong the conviction that you are may be. You are strong, perceptive, and have so much potential - we all do - but like many others, it has temporarily been lost and made obscure by the destruction and chaos that has slipped in during times of uncertainty.

But it is still there, somewhere - your essence - although lost, is definitely not shattered. Taking up and committing to the resistance against self-harm is one of the most powerful displays of this recognition.

Recognize that you are so much more than what the negativity in both your internal and external environment has been molding you into thus far. That it is possible to attain mental and emotional mastery of a reasonable extent against negative influences. But most of all - even amidst a great storm, one can cultivate calm from within. Your greatest internal obstacle is self-harm; it must be, and can be overcome.

Seek to realize your neglected potential, that's what you should do.

May courage and awareness be yours. :hug3:
