Cutting: I feel so low?
I don't know what I'm asking. I feel like I wanna die. I've been a 'cutter' for over a year and I've did it twice today. Don't call me 'emo' or an attension seeker. My friend usually helps me but she's not answering her phone. I'm scared and all I'm thinking about's the pills in my wardrobe and a pair of sissors. I've tried to kill myself before but once again I find myself in this dark place. I need someone to talk to!

hey hun.
Self harming is not about attention seeking or belonging to a branded group.
I self harmed from the age of 5 to some degree and went through a serious patch from 12-17 years of age. I have over a 1000 scars over my body and have done things that would horrify you. So take it from me I understand the place your in ive been there loads of times before and im now in a stage where I love life and I love living.
First of all you NEED to be out of an environment where you are away from the temptations of harming yourself.
I find helpfull is thinking and writing down day today the things you enjoy the things you look forward to and your ambitions. only make a note of the good things in your life.
I know its hard to find things at the moment but if you search deep in yourself you will find positive things.
This is even harder-you need to talk to someone who can offer you support like a counselor.
Im 19 now and ive been through a hell of a lot including loss of numerous family members and bullying so things can get better.
as a alternative to self harm-get an elastic band around your wrist and flick it-it wont break the skin but you feel pain its not as good as the relief of self harm but it does work if you give it chance. or holding ice cubes till it hurts helps.
If your cuts are bad you need to get them seen by a doctor. if you8 cant face that then make sure you keep them clean and disenfected. If you need to talk to someone check out my profile and give me a shout and ill supportr you best i can.
keep in touch and stay safe,

I have anxiety and depression and I have been trying an alternative therapy called Emotional Freedom Technique and it has really worked for me and helped me a lot. Since using it I have been feeling a lot better. It's very good at getting rid of all kinds of negative emotions and dealing with all kinds of issues quickly. It does sound bizarre but does work. Might be something that can help you. These are some links about it. If you type self harm in the search engine of emofree.com you should find some articles about EFT being used on self harm.
ps emofree.com isn't about emos.
If someone talks to themselves ALL the time, are they crazy?

PLEASE don't do anything, try to stop thinking about the scissors and pills. hey if you don't have another friend or a family member to talk to, email me - am also a suicidal cutter, so can understand how you feel, plus i can tell you some alternatives if you want. i may not be able to help much, but talking to someone can make you feel better, at least.
Stay strong, stay safe.

call samaritans, or somebody like that, or go to accident and emergency and ask for the mental health liasion, but do not take the tablets its a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I have combat related PTSD and I feel like going down that road some of the time, but it does get better!
