Self Harm is an addiction, and it’s not something to take lightly. Like all addictions it will always get worse before it can get better and no matter how many times you’re told to stop by the people who love and care about you it won’t change anything unless you want the addiction to end. However like you I suffer from the addiction of Self Harm and I love to see the blood and it’s usually because it reminds us that we are alive and that we still have a beating heart. I can’t give you the advice to stop because I myself haven’t been able to find the advice or a way to stop. You have to sit back and find ways to cope, and if you find it’s so horribly bad you might want to consider talking to a counselor or an actual licensed psychologist. There is almost always a reason as to why a person turns to self harm and you can contemplate it all you like but in the end you’re more than likely going to find yourself seeking the blood. It’s a release, and you come to love it. But find something new, I paint when I have the option, find a new outlet. Talk to someone, who has helped others like us.
It gets better. Or so I’ve heard. Stay Strong.
You wont be able to stop, merely because others tell you you should. there is a reason for everything we do. there is something in your life, some event that triggered your need to cut (which releases endorphine in your brain, a chemical that makes you feel better) Stopping cutting is incredibly hard for alot of people. Unless you deal with the issues behinf the cutting you will never be free of the desire to cut. you need to tackle the issues and resolve them, people telling you to stop are useless, infact they are detramental to your psyche, only one that can stop the cutting is you, we are all incharge of our action, that includes our reaction to events in our life, they only hold as much power over you as you give to them. having not read any of your previous posts, if any exsist, im not sure if you have spoken of said issues, if not you should.
Know where you are coming from. I understand completely. If possible talk to a counselor, or your Dr. There may be simple relaxation techniques that work for you(never did for me) Talking into and through the root of your pain WITH a PROFFESSIONAL would be a good idea. You may also find medication helpful if the other techniques don’t help.
I know what you mean. I understand the want to see the blood run… I have the same problem (if it even is a problem). Just remember to hang in there and to keep it under control, wether it’s stopping(which is for the best) or if it’s every once in a while. Just easing up on it is better for you. I’m sorry you’ve picked up the habit of cutting though.
I have talked to an professional. And tried all the relaxation techniques but non of them seem to work for me… i feel so lost with this problem.
After many times my friends have told me to stop and i havent… they seem to get mad at me cuz i dont listen to them.. they say that they are disapointted in me cuz i cant control it… i feel like i have no true friends..
