Cutting
A lot has happened to me this past 2 years, and about 4 months ago I occasionally started cutting and making myself throw up. the throwing up has stopped, but the cutting hasnt. Things have been really hard for me :'( I hate being like this. I'm always sad and depressed and the instant I get upset all i think about is a razor blad slicing my arm. I cant help it.. It's almost as if I'm addicted to the pain. I want to get better, but I feel like I can't. What should I do? I have massive anxiety too. Any ideas as to what's wrong with me? :(

Dear Pain,
Lets start by saying that everyone has problems, right? Now lets follow that up and agree with saying that everyone's personal circumstance makes their situation unique. Everyone in the world has a different finger print, even twins.
You seems to grasp the severity of cutting and it is a good thing that you are asking for help. I want to first explain that no-one here is able to give you the professional service of medically explaining what is going on.
When I was younger, I had a friend who use to cut herself and it got worse as time went by. One time she explained to me that she hasn't had a job for 4 months and is still seeking employment. After the call abruptly ending I went to her house to see that she cut too deep, and as a result I ended up taking her to the hospital. That was a wake up call for everyone, including herself.
She explained that the feeling she experienced far outweigh the feelings of her depression. The pain she felt after she cut herself would last for days and avert her thoughts.
As someone who is invested the in happiness of those around me, I employee you to seek what really makes you happy. I understand that finding something that you really enjoy can be challenging and may feel as though it isn't enough, but find it, find a passion. Become engulfed in this passion and let that steer you to a more healthy future.
I know it sounds like hogwash. And maybe a bit far fetched by give yourself something that you can look forward to, something that is for you and you alone.
I hope this helps stir a few ideas.

Hey
You never gave you're age :( If you did I could make my advice more tailored to you.
I reently overcame a serious spell of anxiety through counselling, so my message is if I can anyone can.
I felt like my world was over, but then I saw a doctor. He booked me into a counsellor and now I'm back to my usual self.
I've had bulima before, which I think this is what you used to have-and thats understandable as it is a control mechanism you see.
It's good you've stopped tho, as a doctor told me it can kill you as you throw up vital things from you're stomach which help you to breathe.
Go and speak to a doctor asap. if you want to get better, they are the missing piece of the jigsaw who an help you. Remember, EVERYONE in the world has problems, and everyone has thing shappen to them-thats jsut life.
The depression anxiety bulima, (I'm not giving an official diagnosis btw) will not go away, you just have to learn to cope with it.
It may take a while but you can overcome this with the right attitude (positivity)
Good luck inbox me on you're progress x

Life would not be called life if there is no hardship in it and when you are given hard tests , they are there for you to overcome them . Don't lose to the problems you're having but instead , try to think in a more positive way . Think about it . Will cutting yourself clear the problems ? Don't think of the worst , but think more wisely because you still have a mind of gold to make decisions and a heart to have feelings , you know that . You need to get better , and like you said you do want it so instantly , think that you can have it . Don't listen to the negative feedbacks such as "Heck yeah like i'm gonna achieve it." , "I can't do this it's too hard for me and i can't bear the pain of it !" or even "Neh. I've tried to keep up but i failed so yeah i know i'm gonna fail again and i'm tired of it." . No way man that isn't the way to solve any problem and believe me that you can go through all of those problems and they require real bravery and unlimited courage and you will be absolutely joyful one day unless you start to give up on your life . When problems start to come , be the how-thinker . Think on how you're going to solve it , how to keep calm and feel relaxed on so on , it worked so much for me and please apply it onto your life too because life is too valuable to be spent on sadness and depression and hun , do love yourself ! Remember , happiness comes to the person who believes in realizing it . Forget your sorrow and never ever surrender to the problems again . There's no easy way out in this so be strong , dare to try and trust yourself . Why ? Because only you have the opportunity to change your life and do more and more good deeds everyday . You can win in this i believe in you ! Don't give up on your faith and think positive always . Always . It's never a waste to fail once , but it will be an ultimate failure when you start to give up okay ? Keep your head up . Your life is more to come and whenever you want to cut or harm yourself , think "I wasn't born with hands to do this !" and keep in mind that when your heart is telling you to release anger and tension through negative ways , that's not your heart talking . That's anger and look what it got you and everyone . It only brings pressure , emotional and physical pain , and of course , intense feeling of sadness and depression . Any good effect ? Nope (unless in certain circumstances) . Things will be hard now , or harder than ever but you have the ability to go through them . Make yourself malleable to positive changes , and believe you can do it ! Break your problems into smaller components and solve them one by one gradually , and never let anyone say degrading words to you because you don't deserve such ill treatment ! But if you've made mistakes , then be brave to apologize honestly . Being alive is already a miracle so be grateful . Don't be afraid to anything when it comes to achieving happiness and freedom ! Don't take this lightly . You have choices to change your life to the better , you do so don't make excuses . It is never too late to change :D ! I've been there so start to be independent and stand up in your own special way :DD
