self-harm

[mandi_the_fallen_angel]

I started self-harming a little under a year ago. i am not currently cutting but i really really really really want to , i dont know why. Its like there is a bubble inside of me and its getting bigger and bigger and if i dont cut i am going to explode and i dont know what to do! I am trying to ignore the feeling but its not working..

What should i do?? and i dont have friends who cut so i cant confide in anyone... i used to have a friend who cut but she is getting help now and i am soo glad for her! but now i feel i dont have anyone to talk to about what i am feeling right now.

What should i do????

Are there any other ways you could release this pressure building up inside? You don't need to cut, it could make things much worse. Maybe you could discuss things with your friend who is getting help, tell her that you are tempted, I'm sure she'll understand how you're feeling. Try and stay strong, you can get through this, the urges will fade away with time.

I understand how you feel about needing/wanting to cut. Try to keep ignoring the feeling- it will eventually go away, or at least get less strong.

Cutting isn't the only option here. You need to try to find another way to let your emotions out- talking to someone is the best way to do this. If you don't want to talk to your friend, which I'm sure she wouldn't mind you doing, maybe try a councellor or a doctor? I'm not sure how you feel about this, but it seems to me like it would be useful to you.

Just because people don't cut doesn't mean that you can't talk to them. Although they may not always understand, if they are your friends they will still be there for you. They'll probably be glad you confided in them. Maybe give it a try if you can't find anyone else.

Don't forget that we're all here for you too xxx
