...
I was a cutter for about eh, a few months. Then all hell broke loose I was sent away, skip the drama. I've been clean for almost a year..but now more sucky drama is stirring about in my world. I've been thinking about selfharm, but I've still been clean.
Now that you ahve the background...
What can I do with all of my..'emotions'..(did that ever sound cheesy) I already am a poet and a novelest. I pound out on Bass, too...
Danke

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
I agree with what everyone else said, but I just want to suggest a site to you:
www.busmail.org/phpBB
It's tbe best self-help site out there. It has a section with questions to help you deal with urges to self-harm as well as why you self-harmed.
It's basically the best community out there for self-harm and recovery.

My grilfriend has depression and idk if she cuts or not but I know what your feeling, I have had many friends that cut and it's ok to think about it, it's never going to get out of your head im sry to say, but, try and do things with your family, spend the night at your aunts or something, you will get better trust me. Just try and keep your mind off of hurting yourself.

I don't know what it's like to relive your pain by cutting, but I have heard it's almost addicting, so first of all congrats on stopping and not wanting to do it again. You obviously have the willpower so if you try I'm sure you can find other emotion outlets.
It's great that you're a poet and novelest, but have you ever thought about writing in a journal? If you let all your emotions and problems flow on to paper they make seem less intense.
Surround yourself with friends and family that make you feel good about yourself. It leaves you less time to dwell on the sucky drama in your life.
Take up a new hobby, or focus on your schoolwork. again, more ways to help you get away from it all.
Take long walks, especially in the rain, and when you're really mad or upset try stabbing a pillow.
Find a friend or family member that you trust completely and tell them everything. or if there is no one you can turn to, join an online community on www.livejournal.com or www.xanga.com and tell everyone there that you dont know your problems. Just dont keep these things inside.
I hope that these suggestions can help some how, in some way. Whenever you think about harming yourself again, just remember all that you had to go through, and how much being sent away sucked. If you need anything else, feel free to ask

I would maybe keep a dairy!! Or paint or play a sport where you can get your anger out!
Sports like:
*Kick Boxing
*Softball- you can hit the ball serouisly hard with the bat or throw the ball hard at someone ;P (my personal favorite)
*Volleyball- spike the ball and serve the ball as hard as you can
*Tennis- hit the ball with the racket as hard as you can
Also, you can talk to your friends!! Unless the drama is with your friends... then talk to anybody who will listen!
Hope i Helped!
MaNdY!

Keep your thoughts of self harm as thoughts, never take action with those thoughts, you need to get to a parent to help get you out of the house, you need time out of poetry, because writing sad poetry puts you so deep in depression, it takes forever to get you back out.

I would suggest talking to someone you trust, maybe your mom, best friend, guidance counselor, whomever. But holding things in can make things worse. You can IM me if you ever want to talk. Maybe you could consider asking your mom to take you to a counselor..
Hope I helped!

what i find to help is just take some crayons or colored pencils and 'color how you feel.' it brings out a lot in you.

Try to find a really good friend to talk to let out your emotions vocally. By writing poems and letting out your anger by playing your bass is a good outlet for you emotions too but maybe if you actually tell them to someone who cares about you, you will feel better. If you don't have anyone you trust enough to tell your feelings try seeing a therapist who's an unbiased person who will listen to you no matter what.

Have you ever tried talking to someone? I know when I have to much stress on me I talk to one of my friends. If you feel that you have nobody to talk to I know that there are a few help hotlines. Its totally confidential- so theres no pressure. I hope I helped! ~allie

well try counceling or something or it's good to try yoga to relive all the drama and it gives you a littel chill time or find someone that you really can trust and lay it all out tell them how you feel it's always good to talk about things things or start a diary about your fellings and it will help you to get it all out or my last suggestion is karte or some kind of sport it helps relive stress and drama too and it's fun !

Ok, so you need to find a way to deal with these emotions. The best way to do so is to first, confront them. You need to sit down and try to figure what's bothering you on the inside. This is the most important step. Next, you need to find someone who you can really trust and convey your feelings to them. Telling someone else how you feel about specific problems in your life can relieve stress, frustration, and it can open doors to solutions for life's situations. Once, you've done this, you should feel much better about yourself. Don't resort to selfharm; it's not the answer. The only way to solve things is to confront them. We all have problems in our lives, and we have to deal with them. I hope my advice helps you. Friendly advice from Caleb.

It's hard... But you've realized you have a problem with it, and you stopped. Remember that cutting is not going to solve anything. Try talking to someone to let things out, or write your daily thoughts in a journal. Best wishes! Send me something if you need to talk. ♥ Kristen

Cutting. Such a terrible thing. I've dealt with cutters in the past, and it isn't easy- for the cutter, or for their friends and family.
Skipping the drama, as you said, if you're serious about feeling the need to harm yourself bodily, it might be best to seek help from a trained professional. I know that might bring images of being sent away again to your mind, but I'd like to think that if you aren't cutting yourself, that you'd be fine- Generally speaking, you can only be hospitalized if you can be proven to be a threat to yourself or to others. Past history aside, you'd be saving yourself a lot of trouble if you see a psychologist. (I sometimes get the terms screwed up- I mean the one that can reccomend treatment, but can't actually treat you. This would work in your favor as well, as such a person cannot send you away, but probably can help, with or without medication and other treatments.)
I know you're probably scared, confused, and more than a little worried, but I believe that seeking help is your best bet.
Good luck to you.
