You are not alone. It is not your fault.
Talk to your parents. You can go to
mental health in your area or talk to a
counselor! You are not only hurting
yourself but you are hurting those that
care about you and love you. Please get
help!
Sincerely,
sandy

Amber,
you can go to a community hospital or a
mental health center and tell them you
want to hurt yourself. They can help you
from there. Just explain your situation
about your parent to them and they will
take it from there. In the state where
i'm from it is the parents responsiblities
to take action when a child reaches out as
you are doing and they can get in trouble
for not doing so. But if the parent
decides not to help their child then the
state can take over.
I wish you all the luck. Please stop
cutting yourself. I take care of several
people who cut themselfs for the same
reason and it does them no good at all,
but leave horrible scars and memories.
Talking about your problems, writing about
it in your journal, using art such as
drawing, painting, poetry, writing songs,
writing letters to those who hurt you and
then tearing them up will help get a lot
of your pain out. I know i've done it. I
still use those tools. Try them. They
work.
Best of wishes,
pebbles

Even tho things are looking up I am going
to throw in my 2 cents for what its
worth.
I started cutting when I was in 7th-8th
grade I am now 25 and my last cutting
incident was in june 2004. I was
diagnosed bi-polar in july 2004. If you
feel that the meds are not helping so much
then talk to your doctor further....Ask
your parents to see a meds specialist so
you can get on a good dose. I am finally
on a good dose but I still have the urge
to cut when I have a bad day. This is
something that is not just going to go
away. What most people don't understand
is that you can equate cutting to drug
addiction or alcaholism. You have to
take it one day at a time. With a good
support system you should be able to
control it, but please bear in mind that
when you ohave a bad day you have to be
stronger than it. When your feeling
down.....Get away from anything that you
could cut with...Go take a walk, or watch
a movie with the parents, and definately
stay out of the kitchen and tool shed.
If you ever need anyone to talk to about
this please feel free to contact me. I
am on yahoo (messenger and mail) as
ceriauna
peace be in your heart

The only cure would be jesus, medications
suck, you're not a mistake, stop feeling
down. It could be like one of this
season affective disorder, all the time.
Jk. But yeah try to make this best of
things.

Remember...
1. Science says we live just because we
are in a planet that allow our kind of
existence. We have no reason to live
for.
2. Human nature allows (and a lot of)
subjectiveness. There's no an objective
reason to live but a millions of
subjective ones.
3. Even though life doesn't matter,
hurting and harming people/animals is not
fair since we have no rights on doing
so.
4. The only subjective objective reason
to live is to be happy.
Regards

I know exactly what your talking about.
The cutting helps your pain go away. I
was diagnosed with bipolar, depression,
and social anxiety. I always feel stupid
if I can't do something. It sucks
