they'll just be there to listen and advise you if you ask for it.
your looking for a way to get the hurt out right? well they are their so you can talk it out.
try em. if you dont like it just hang up.
You can expect someone to listen, to comfort you, and to help you discover what the underlying problem might be - (deal with the reason you're cutting yourself).
They can also refer you to a support group in your area.
the thing about a hot line or online is the you dont have to reveil who you are so there for alot of times it is easier for people to talk with someone they dont have to face or someone they may feel can hold these kinda things against them if you feel the need to hurt yourself maybe not a hotline you need you may need more professional help. but either way you go you do need to talk to some one i had a friend who was a cutter and his wife was like wise and they ended up hurting theirselves enough to have to have medical attention and ending up losing custody of the two small children. hope this helps Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to START talking.
With a 'crisis hot line', you can start the talking - in complete anonymity!
They may not be able to tell you anything new about cutting, but they will listen without judging you - after all, they know it's whatever gets you through that counts.
Anyway - don't be so down on yourself - LOTS of people cut - it's just a way of managing, and like I said - whatever gets you through!
E-mail me and I can talk more openly on this subject...
Wouldnt it be nice to talk to someone who doesn't judge you? Who doesn't appear shocked about the cutting and doesn't tell you you mustn't do it any more? You may read a lot and understand why other people do it but by talking with someone who is there for you and who supports you and listens to you, you may gain insight into yourself. Always worth a go isn't it? they're listening, it shows you that someone cares
I guess they are just there to comfort people and to let them know that there are people who want to listen. You mentioned that you wanted to talk to someone about your cutting, have you tried the website www.recoveryourlife.com? Its really quite good because you can talk to people who have gone through the same experiences and have come over it. You can talk to them online for some support and they won't be patronising towards you at all because they know exactly what you are going through. Try going to the online support room on the web page. Hope this helps =)
The idea is that you have confidentiality and can be anonymous and this provides people the opportunity to talk about things they don't feel able to with family or friends.
There's no judgment passed, you don't have to look that person in the eye and you won't bump in to them in street.
Some times there is a lot of useful information about what can help you cope with whats going on.
Just saying it out load can make a big difference :-)
