self harm


Question Posted Monday November 19 2007, 7:47 pm

over the past few months I have started cutting myself, and having suicidal thoughts. Im going through some problems and this is the only way I have of dealing wiv them. I made an appointment to see a counsellor but couldn't bring myself to see them. Im not really sure what Im asking, just general advice.

I have the same problem. I cannot bring my self to counselling. So I call.

1-800-SUICIDE

They don't know your name, they don't ask, they do not ask and you don't give out ANY personal info.
They REALLY help!!! TRY IT!! It can save you from doing something stupid, it did for me when I was at school with a knife to my neck then my friend called the hot line and I talked to them. They saved my life.

you know what? i have the same exact problem. and i've been seeing a counselor for it, but she's usually just made me feel bad for it or make me look stupid or really pathetic. i've been having suicidal thoughts since i was in seventh grade. the only way i've been keeping myself from cutting is to put myself in another person's position. like, my best friend for instance. she just got into a hee-UGE car wreck. and it could have some serious personal damage. just keep telling yourself that its not as bad as it could be. look up. if you see a roof above you, then you're sheltered. if you have 3 meals a day, you have plenty of food. if you have a bed to sleep in, then you're comforted. some people dont have any of that and they are doing just fine.

take care. :)

Hey instead of cutting yourself try writing down your feelings and stuff I don't know if your a girl or a guy but if your a guy try going to the gym and sufff and letting out some grief or anger there. And as a last resort if you can do it you would have to tell your parents and ask for anti deprecents but i don't think you have to it'll probably be just a faze. Try taking your mind of things and listen to music1
