Q: Self harm getting worse.

Hi,
in my old post i wrote that i was getting deeper.
yesterday i cut too deep and there was nore blood than usual but i can't stop myself. The more i try to stop the more I will.
i feel so alone and don't have many people to talk to.
I find it a comfort....like when people comd=fort eat i comfort cut.
Because I dont have many friends, its something which is always with me and i know it won't leave me unexpectedly (may sound weird but havin lost two loved ones maybe not)
If i carry on getting deeper i might get seriously hurt and thats not why i do it.
i so honestly want to stop, or atleast find a way to stop myself cutting deeper.

thanks .x.

The way you feel is not weird. It is exactly how I used to feel when I cut. I knew I could control when I cut, how deep I cut, and I loved how I would feel comforted. One day I cut too deep, and fortunately around the same time I got a loving, supportive boyfriend who began to help me through it (we are still together to this day!).

Cutting may be a comfort, but it is not healthy. I know you said you do not have many friends, but some friends is better than none at all. I know it is scary to think about them leaving, but try to lean on them. Friends are here to love and support you.

We at the forum are all here for you too. Wanting to stop is the first step towards doing it. You are doing great by even feeling the urge to stop. Can you talk to a counselor or a trusted adult about what is going on?
