I can't stop wanting to hurt myself!?
Question:
Answers:
We are all a little crazy. I can't say that cutting is 'common' but it is definitly within the realm of most mental health facilities. Your words: 'I know this sounds selfish...' tell me alot about your state of mind. You are obviously under pressure to be 'normal' and a 'good person'. I can't tell you much beyond the obvious...if you want to stop, talk to a mental health professional. They will try to help you find another outlet for this. But...it only works if you are honest about what is going on in your mind. It can be painful to solve issues like this one.
Good luck.
the technical name is emo
It's a control issue...see a counselor...you'll be okay...
You have to stop and think of why you're doing this in the first place. Why do you feel the need to cut? Is there some emotional pain that you overshadow with physical pain? Figure out the root of the problem and only then can you dig it out. And ask for help. If your family wants you to stop, it's because they care about you. Talk to them about it. I know it sounds cliche, but it really does help knowing that someone's supporting you in letting go of this destructive habit.
Good luck and may God be with you.
Why should you be angry at your family when they just want you to stop hurting yourself? Do you enjoy the pain? Try to get over yourself and stop injuring yourself and your loved ones emotionally and physically.
I've learned from different experiences that when people do things to hurt themselves its because they are trying to hide pain from within. one day this could turn into a BIG problem. you should trust your family. they want what's best for you. my advie is to confront the problem with somebody you trust and STOP CUTTING you are really going to hurt yourself worse then you already have. when im hurt i think to the future as in a future I WANT. not what your mom or dad wants or anybody else. this is about you. if you want a future thats yours then stop hurting yourself. confront the problem and STOP.
How can hurting yourself...Be pleasurable. I dont get it.
I understand exactly where you are coming from. I used to cut and the only reason I dont now is because i dont want to upset anyone.Its hard to put things into words that anyone will understand, but no one has to understand this. Stop cutting because you know its all about self hate. Figure out why yu hate yourself so much. If you need someone to talk to you can email me.
