christina answered Saturday June 2 2007, 10:43 pm: Nobody here is going to tell you how to hurt yourself and if they do -- they're going to get banned for being an idiot.
Instead of hurting yourself because things aren't going your way, try crying or writing. They both help to vent & they both are effective ways to get your feelings out. Yelling helps too.
There's no reason to hurt yourself, so stop thinking that it's the best way to control yourself. It's one of the dumbest things you can do to yourself & this is the stupidest thing you can ask someone. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

I know its hard to actually think he is listening, but really just trust me. God can help you through anything. Just ask him for help and he will help you, i promise. I really do promise. Even if you dont believe in god. Try talking to some of your god believing friends about it. you can talk to me to about it. They will help you. Hurting yourself doesnt help. NOT AT ALL. I SWEAR TO YOU.
ElectricLime answered Saturday June 2 2007, 6:18 pm: The best advice I can give you is to either yell or cry it all out. Trust me it works so good because there's a relaxing feeling afterward when you can't anymore.. It's the body's natural way of letting things out :]
But, I really don't want to give you any self-harm ideas. First of all, you can't cut yourself because "it hurts too much"? THAT's the point. To FEEL something. And puking is just dumb.. I'm guessing you have low self esteem or something? I mean why else puke other than to lose weight? To to cry for attention?
I'm not telling you self harm isn't the way, many people do it, but.. If you want to self harm, you better know that it isn't some painless ride or something. I mean I do it too (I won't tell you the way.. Google self-harm, you'll find something better than what we'll tell you) BUT.. Come on, man up.

DefyingOctober answered Saturday June 2 2007, 6:02 pm: well first of all, why harm yourself you you have nothing to do with the problem,its just all in your head, its not my fault keep telling yourself.
im telling you this, because i have the same problem and i dont want you to get hurt.
but in worst case you still wanna hurt yourself, try something less harmful by putting a rubberband around your wrist and snapping it against your arm really hard.
killerface answered Saturday June 2 2007, 5:49 pm: First of all- no one on in this site in their right mind [or that dont want to get reported] would answer this question for you, the way you want them too. Sorry, hun.
:]
Who ever tells you self harm isn't the way- is correct. I've done the cutting thing. I've done the annorexic thing. The bulimic thing. The freezing cold showers. The burning hot showers. I've done it. All of it. And it doesn't work.
It may for a while, but then you'll need something bigger, something more extreme, because it just won't do you any good anymore. Trust me, been there, done that.
But the ONE thing that actually helped me? My friends and my siblings. I'm not close to my parents, but I'm close to both of my brothers.
I can't tell you how many times I randomly called my friends, sobbing on the phone in the middle of the night. They would just lie there and listen to me, until I calmed down enough to eventually cry myself to sleep.
Talk to a teacher that you can trust-- I also had one of those that suprisingly, had also gone through it all as a teenager and it was encouraging to know that people that hurt do get better. They do move on; they live their lives.
Talk to your doctor. I'm now on antidepressants and they work suprisingly well-- and even if my life's still hell, at least I'm not a big sobbing, lying around and sleeping mess all of the time. I can stick up for myself better.
And hey, you may get two answers to this question, you may get 20-- but you should know that your words can express who you are too. If you need to talk to someone that isn't in the middle of everything-- I'm sure anyone on here, [very much including myself] would be perfectly willing to talk to you.
crazyme6 answered Saturday June 2 2007, 5:49 pm: i know you said you don't wanna hear it..but self harm REALLY REALLY will only make things a billion times worse. you need to talk to somebody. i know there are people in your life that love you so tell them how youre feeling or try writing in a diary..anything to express yourself and then try to find ways to solve your problems. think positive..for every bad time in your life there are a billion good times to make up for it and theres so much out there and hurting yourself is the worst thing you could possibly do. love yourself..you're an orignal unlike any other person and have the capablities to do whatever you want with your life. try new things and find something you LOVE to do and do it more often..itll make you feel better. just keep your head up everything will get better but please please do not hurt yourself im telling you itll make it so much harder. if you can find a physiatrist you should try to talking to them because they actually do help. if you wanna talk about anything you can i*m me..swtsusie22 [ crazyme6's advice column | Ask crazyme6 A Question ]
thewinterbones answered Saturday June 2 2007, 5:42 pm: Well first of all cutting and puking isn't going to solve any of your problems. Either is getting on here asking strangers how to hurt yourself - to make yourself feel better? Self harm isnt the way to go. I used to be a cutter, and it deffinetly didn't solve anything..it made things worse. Get to the root of your problems that are making you feel sucky and go do something that makes you happy. Don't hurt yourself! [ thewinterbones's advice column | Ask thewinterbones A Question ]
