[what_should_i_do...]

hey... im new to this website. my friend told me about Virtual Teen... she said it might help. so here i am.
i have been cutting and burning myself for 2 years now. it all started before i moved. the stress of leaving everyone i cared about and everyone i loved was too much... i started cutting. when i actually got to my current home... i met some amazing people (: i got some roots down, and i started feeling good about myself again... and i found the strength to stop... but that was only for 4 months. in Feb. 2010, i met this guy. he seemed amazing and funny... he just seemed perfect. i started dating him on April 13, 2010... after a couple months... he started doing things...... we recently broke up 3 weeks ago. during those 2 or 3 months of him doing... things... i started to burn. it made me feel like i was in control. i determined how much it hurt... it took all the pain that i held inside, outside... and it helps me deal with what he did... i hope this site can help me... i dont know what else to do.

Whatever that guy was doing, you've broken up, it's over now. I know how it feels to be in a relationship like that, my ex was kinda the same, although nothing extreme. You've solved the problems causing you to cut and burn and now it's time to tackle the problem of cutting and burning. Self harm is addictive so it's gonna be hard to stop. it sounds as though you have good friends, ones that will be willing to help you. If you feel it is getting really bad and out of control maybe you could try seeing a school councillor or something.
You can pm/vm or email (email adress in sig) at anytime if you want to talk :)

As Kathy said Self harming is a seriously addicting habit. Its very much like a circle, and its really hard to break but with the right help you will be able to. Theres only so much we can do for you here. If you need to talk, we listen and if you need a friend we'll be there. But for any further help i really do advise you see someone that could help you more. Maybe like a school counsellor or a real life friend. I'm not sure if you've already tried, or heard of any. But a great way to ease yourself off of harming yourself is to find a substitute. Using an elastic band and flicking it against your skin every time you feel the urge to cut is a great one to help. You mentioned you have a problem with burning, try using ice cubes against your skin instead of burning yourself, you'll be surprised how much it'll help. If you need to talk or just want someone to listen you can pm/email me at the address in my sig any time you want to. i wont mind.

Even though self harm makes you feel like you're in control, you're not, because it becomes an addiction, and spirals out of control. It feels like it helps, like it takes the pain anyway, but its a temporary fix for almost always a more serious problem, and it never any ever helps, no matter how much you think it does. I'm sorry about your ex, but if he did things that made you doubt him, he wasn't worth it was he? You're better than him. You're stronger. And you can beat this. Pm me anytime.
