i'v tried really hard to stop self-harming
but everytime i get upset its the first
thing i think of
it's like an addiction now i cant even go
a full week with out doing something to
hurt myself
my parents and friends know but they think
its a one off thing and anyway they dont
seem that intersted there more curious
about how i do it rather than why
i don't want to do it anymore but as soon
as i think i can stop something happend
that makes me want to do it again
i have no one i can talk to about it

you just have to realize that its not
going to fix your problem. easier said
than done, i know. maybe you need to sit
your parents down and tell them you have a
problem and that you need help. they
probably think it is just a phase or that
you want attention.

Let's look at some of the things that get
you angry right now. We call them
"triggers". Need to understand some of the
reason why you may cut. Built up anger
inside that you can not let out. Needing
to thrash out at someone and take it out
on yourself? How you see
yourself........Are you comfortable with
your looks, your weight? How bout your
home life. Parents getting to be
unlivable?
You have to look at all the deciding
factors here and start sharing those
feeling with the people the people you
want to lash out at and meet it face to
face with a non-agressive attitude.
Give it a try.

Perhaps talking to a therapist would help
you sort out some the reasons why you are
in so much pain. That may help you find
other outlets instead of self harm. You
need to value yourself enough to not hurt
yourself. A therapist can help you find
yourself and give you tools to use instead
of self harm.
