Saying that nothing could possibly be done to help me, releases any burden that might otherwise fall upon any who would care.
Oh wait… you said “who want help to decrease the acting on thoughts of self harm.”
Can’t say i need help with any such thing. Pain sucks, and i already have plenty, and infected lacerations are yet another complication i will gladly refrain from adding to my life.
I mean… can you imagine getting gangrene or aggressive flesh-eating bacteria from an infected self-inflicted cut that you totally didn’t have to do to yourself, and then losing a limb over it? or having a plethora of skin grafts? You think you’re suicidal now, do you? Wait til you see how it feels to have irreparable damage from something stupid you could have avoided… or even if you couldn’t avoid it.
What I am asking is, what, if anything, could someone do to help another who suffers from OCD or cutting or suicidal thoughts? What could be said or done? Is there anything? Is there nothing? Should an effort be made to avoid or not interfere?
Ha, ha. Sure, but everyone can use more money, whether they have thoughts of self harm or not.

G.W. I don’t think there’s much that anyone can do. The problems lie within us, within our own minds and within our lives. That’s how I feel. That nobody can really help me. I hate myself. I hate living. I see zero hope for the future. Every minute on this earth is another moment of self loathing, pain (mental, emotional and physical) and humiliation. How can anyone help that? I don’t think that I can even help myself anymore. I’m too far gone. Hopeless.
Why do you visit this site G.W.? It seems like it would just be so time consuming to come to a site like this when you don’t seem depressed or suicidal yourself? Or am I wrong on that? Are you suffering from depression?
Depends on the individual. Counselling and drugs benefit some but not others. I feel the same way as cagedtiger.
All this time I’ve been warped like a crazy person and now I can see that I was misguided. I’m the problem.
This is what I was thinking;
Create rules that you live by that are tried and tested.
If there are drugs out there that can improve your quality of life even slightly then take them.
Occupy your mind with stuff. This is the first time in my life ive ever been unemployed. The last few nights have been me, 8 cans, a box of cigarettes and people on the Internet. There has to be something else.
Be honest with yourself and others.
Be kind even when you’re down.
Try and think about moving forward and draw a line under the past; you’re not going back there.
Have proper conversations with people. Talk about what’s happening and take and interest with a view to developing new relationships.
Go back to the rules you created at the beginning when you mess up or think you’re about to on any of the aforementioned.

£1m in cash. I’ve also been told that counselling helps. I’d prefer the money though.
No more mental torment from my OCD.
I’m with Timepiece. Gimme the cash – I’ll be good to go.

That’s all I can think of at the moment.
