Hey I have had the same problem as you. Ah well you cant really control the feelings..but you can find other ways to deal with it other than hurting yourself. Try and punch your pillow. Everyone tells me to do that and it sorta helps. When you get mad let all your anger out on it instead of yourself. Good luck!! -Jenny

If you get the feeling you want to hurt yourself, go do something physical like running, weight lifting, or wood cutting. But if you really feel the need to cause some pain, do it to other people. No need to hurt yourself when there are others.

If you get worked up, just go outside and take a little jog. Try just going around the block or maybe further. Belive me it helps. Just look at all the scenery.

wow. thats terible. well its a good hting ur not cutting anymore cuz that could hurt u really bad if u cut deep enough...umm....i really dont wanna suggest anything cuz i dont wanna hurt anyone. i think that u should just try to ignore the urges. if u really really have to hurt ur self i suggest go to a friend that u kno would never let u do that to ur self just so ur safe. or go laydown out side and look at the soft fluffy clouds and try not to think of sharp objects...think happy thoughts. hope i helped...

You need to talk to sum1 about it... tell ur parents... they should take u to a specialist... cuz it sounds like u hold everything in... & when it comes out u wanna hurt urself... when sumthing or sum1 bothers u talk about it... think about why it bothers u so much & explain it to others...

This is such a common feeling, and I for one have and still do occationally feel the need to inflict pain on myself, especially when I cause pain to other people. I keep all my feelings inside, and then finnaly they all just catch up, and I feel like I'm going to explode. A good and mature way of handling a situation like yours is to write down everything your feeling, anything that has happened, anything that you don't want to say to anyone outloud. Find a good hiding spot for your thoughts and jot down occationally how you feel. I am extremley emotional, and I will break down because of very little things, but it's because of all these pent up feelings. If you find a way to vent, besides hurting yourself...(even if you burn what you write after) in a safe place of course, you will feel as if a weight is lifted off your shoulders. Another thing you could consider would be consulting your parents about a psycologist or social worker that you could communicate with. Everything is totaly personal, and they have no right by law to repeat anything you say unless you or another are in danger.

I really hope i helped, because I know many people, including me, that have the same problem you do. Please let me know how it goes, and good luck.

<3 Sarah

yeah talk to a good friend about it--or a parent--or someone you really trust. it'll make you feel a lot better!! and you can also keep a journal or something to write down your feelings. i know when i dont feel like talking sometimes i write and it makes me feel 10 times better!

Hey..i think that you should express your feelings on paper..or scream in a pillow...it works a lot for my friends and me..or just go on a long walk and think about stuff if that doesn't work im sorry..but hope everything goes good
