Ummm I Just slipped up

[Rmelnikas]

Well about 1 hour ago I had a major emotional break and well for the second time ever I cut, which I am not happy with it was about an inch long and deep enough to make it bleed.
It actually helped me forget about the problems that I had but I am really disappointed with myself.
Also at the time I was talking with a friend who was trying to make me not do it but in the end I did now she wants me to see a counselor to talk about my problem. I feel as though now I have lost her forever in the way we were close friends. I don't know why I cut either.
I don't know what I'm trying to say I just need to get it out I think i don't know.

It's okay and, even though this is only your second time to cut, it is still a big deal. We all understand that and we have been through those times before. Those first cuts can be the most horrifying things ever. But what you need to know is that you're not alone, you're not insane, and you can defanitely stop before it gets worse.

You're friend might not understand what's going on in your life right now. Just because you explain to her still will not help her get a grasp on it, just the same as you might not have a grasp on it either. Self-Harm is often times something a person might do when they are unable to deal with intense emotions any other way. You just need to find yourself a new outlit before you get lost in the act. When you feel angry or sad try and write in a journal, or punch a pillow, possibly even scream into one. Talk to your friend. Don't let yourself become weak when this happens, maybe go see her face-to-face to keep yourself from doing it. After all, most people aren't too keen on cutting in front of others.

You might want to go visit a counsoler. One such as your school one or a close adult. I'm not saying this is a positive YES as to what to do, since sometimes speaking to an adult doesn't really work. But if you are having problems that you feel you need to discuss then someone older might be able to help you sort them out.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having such a tough time. If you ever need to talk, you know where to find me! (:

Thank you for the understanding, you have said a lot that i will try to stop before it gets worse, i know that there are people who have gone through this on her and that makes me feel as there is hope.

I'm so sorry. It happens sometimes. We get to the point where we hurt ourselves again. I know exactly how it feels, as I been down the same road that you have. Your friend is only trying to help you. Don't be afraid to talk to a counselor, if you feel you have a problem. You are more than welcome to come here and let all of your feelings out.

I'm working on it too. As hard as it is, you just can't get into this crap. It's not worth it. It takes over after a while. I'm sorry and if you ever need to talk, just message me.

Ryan I'm so sorry you felt like that bud, but cutting isnt the answer.
You said this was the second ever time, maybe your friend is right, talking to someone about it before it gets any worse is always a good thing.

The sooner you get help the easier it will be, its dark down here being stuck in the viscouse cycle of cutting yourself away.

Hope your ok bud, have a man hug, on me. :hug:

As everyone said, cutting won't help you in the long run. It may feel good now, but you can so easily get addicted. It might just be an inch long cut, just deep enough to bleed now, but it will end up with cuts inches long, and deep enough to cover your arm in blood. You will end up with scars all up your arm and never being able to wear short sleeves.

I know it seems like i'm trying to scare you, and maybe I am, but everything i've said is true from personal experience. Cutting is not a nice habit to get into. It's only your second time, you can easily stop if you do it now.

Feel free to pm me if you have any questions. Stay safe :)
