I've tried all this kind of stuff, but it just doesn't help!

I hide the knife, but the thing is when im angry enough I really can't help myself; everyone I know hates me and my life is an ongoing spiral misery...even if the knife is gone, ill end up making it worse by scratching myself...

At least with a knife the scars are clean, but when you are really angry and stratch yourself, you get these mangled scars that never disappear and they look horrible....ive been to a therapist about this 'cuz my parents found out, but they think i've stopped...

I just hate everyone around me with every fibre of my being.

EDIT:

What makes me angry is...everything. I hate my family, I hate the things they do. I hate my stepfather for calling me emo, my mother for not understanding me, my sister for being a bitch, my brother for being insensitive.

I hate the people who shun and ostracize me because I don't go around living their little reality lauching away happily at thier pumicile little existence.

In fact, the only person I really like is my baby brother, Owen, but he doesn't understand. And when he does, he too will hate me.

My parents think I want attention despite the fact that for my entire life I have sought to be left alone...

I used to cut myself like 20 times every day (not very deep, though). I cut less now, maybe once a week but it's deeper because they all hate me so much!

i used to do it aswell and then my mum found out and thought i was doing it for attantion
and i wear a rubber bands around my wrist so if i feel like cutting i flick it and it hurts and the mark fades
but cuts dont they leave ugly scars
and then you feel ugly and then you cut again its really annoying

and yes it is fucking hard to stop!


wow very true!!!

Do you need some help to stop cutting?

by DNsDevilAngel on 05-04-2008 5:07 pm

First off. I know there is another post about this but they did leave out some things that might be usefull. heres a link to the post:
Stop Cutting
I am not controlling you or trying to invade in your life i just want to help people.
I know some reasons people want to cut or as i put it as having an urge to do it like its a drug that you can't stop. some reasons may be:
You don't like your life
someone broke your heart
your being bullied
your falling school
someone died
you can't do what you want

Those are just some reasons i know there are more reasons.

As the other post said you will want to rid of the objects you use to harm yourself with then you may write a list of why you should stop cutting. It also said how you should do things to lead your mind away from wanting to cut .
one thing i did myself to stop cutting actually worked and i haven't been cutting for a while now beacause of it.

What i do is i want a reminder of why i'm depressed or angry thats why i would cut.
but i found a better way to remind myself. what i did was i tool a sharpie and i would start writing on my leg on why i was depressed and why i wanted to cut. after i was done i felt alot better becasue i wasn't hurting myself but it was there when i wanted to see it later that day.

but using a sharpie on your skin isn't good and healthy. so i then started writing it down on paper. and after i was done writing up to 5 pages of why i was depressed. i folded it. and burned it so noone else could read it. I strongly advise that if your under age to have your parents burn it for you. just tell them you wanted to express yourself and you don't want anyone else to read it. they'll understand if you explain to them why you want to get rid of it. then you'll feel better knowing that it wont be able to be read by anyone and that you secret has been lose to nature. plus you wont have to talk to a doctor.

Try doing this it worked out for me alot.
If you still have a hard time stopping i know many don't want to talk to a doctor but they do help. plus what ever you don't tell the doctor you can write down and burn so that way you won't be holding anything in.

I hope this will help some of you. Remember that people love you even though it may seem like theres no hope in the world. came up with a saying.
You'll never see love coming
and its true that you never trully see it comeing but when it does arrive to you you'll be happy you stoped cutting and lived. Plus when you grow up and you have to explain to your kids why you cut when they see your scars you'll regret it.


If you have any questions please feel free to ask me.
One regret
One Bullent
One Broken Heart
Another person dead
