my emoish situation..
13/f
sorry if its a bit long.
A few moths ago i was sorta sad and anxious for some reason.At school on day i started staching any my left arem with my nails.When i got home that day i cut my arm with a blade.Every day for the next week i cut at my arm.After that week is tried to control myself and stopped even through some hard "cravings"(for lack of a better word).I got over it. Yesterday my friends mum called me inside for a chat and she told me that she saw manks on my arm and that she thinks i need professional help so that i dont do anything to myself.I had no intensions of cutting myself.tonight i felt the urge to do it again and i couldnt hold it off so i did it.
I dont want to kill myself i just like the pain.Also there is one of my other friend's mums who i trust alot but feel too ashamed to talk to about it.
Im not sure what to do.I dont know if ill get over it or i should talk to the friends mum that i trust.I dont want to tell my parents and i dont want to talk to the school counsellor or anything.
Even though i dont want to do anything to myself and im not suicidal im scared that maybe one day ill go too far.
Any input will help.But i dont want to hear "tell your parents" or anything.
Thanks

Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: General Sex Questions?
hey im brie. i can kinda relate. i cut too eventhough i hate admitting it.sometimes i feel the same way,but my parent know so i wouldnt advise you to tell your parents. i think you should talk to friends mum if you can trust her. you probably know this but cutting is serious and you should try to stop, the next time you feel like doing it call one of your friends who you trust or your friends mum. i saw a shrienk and i f'n hated it but sometimes talkin about it helps.

Hi...
Self Injury is a big thing actually... just way underplayed.
Cutting doesn't HAVE to have anything to do with suicide. That can happen, but they aren't really related.
There are plenty of online support groups...
on vampirefreaks.com there are several "cults" including The Bathroom Sink
Anti-Relapse
Unhealthy_Obsessions
Erase_The_Scars
On gaiaonline.com
there is a "support group" that doesn't really promote recovery, just is a place for Self-Injurers to discuss...
Anti-Relapse also has a plainfont webpage... [Link](Mouse over link to see full location).
that's their "methods" page... methods to keep from "SIing" or Self Injuring.
IM/Messsage me for more info...

Many people like yourself cut, scratch, or burn themselves to feel better when feeling anxious or depressed. The term for this is loosely called "self-injury". There are many websites online dealing with this topic and can offer stories, poems, help strategies, etc. I would definitely be concerned with this behaviour, though, as it can lead to bigger problems. It isn't a healthy thing to do... I suggest that you find another outlet that's not so destructive... Try journaling, art, or using icecubes against the skin to cause pain that leaves no marks, etc. Some people thwack themselves with rubber bands. The cutting/burning part of self injury is very bad for you and will definitely get attention. People will suggest that you go to a mental health professional (counselor, etc.) and they suggest that option because they care. No matter what you're going through remember that you aren't alone! I have been through what you are describing and I found myself addicted to cutting. I eventually grew out of it, but not without giving myself ugly scars. I will pray for you and send you positive energy! Hope this helped!
