I dont know what to do

I often find it really difficult to talk about the way that I feel. Lately everything has been over the top for me, I feel like nothing can calm me down, nothing can relax me, and noone can help me. I feel like I want to hurt innocent people and also myself. I dont know how to approach someone about this, I find it extremely difficult to actually speak words on how i am feeling. I try to talk to my parents but they freak out even about the littlest of things. I feel so out of control I just want to hurt myself, I want to harm myself in the worst ways possible. I cant control myself, I need help. But I dont know how to go about doing it, or who/where to go to ask for help.
Please if anyone has any suggestions before i go out of my skull with insanity, please help me.

Go to your doc or go to the ER. Now. That's it. They have something that will calm you down and as you calm down you should shed these dreadful feelings. I've been there and I know it's no fun.

First off Counciling is great because you can express your self and know you dont have to see them at the family BBQ.

I find comfort in taking HOT baths, some times reading and sometimes in the dark, I find a soothing scent and relax... I guess you could say its my form of self meditation althought I really try not to think at all. I susually take my favorite drink sometimes hot tea sometimes MT Dew. and a nice snack often chocolate (such great emotional properties) or a comfort food. Suprising enough this really works... I have a client that I 'spoil' (his words) with these kinds of baths and he fights baths horrible but I never have a problem

Also I find having a very dark bedroom (my safe place) and I even have a blanket over the window. I isolate even if just for short periods, I crawl in bed wrap up in blankets and use my heating pad (not for pain but comfort -again with the warmth) This helps calm my anxiety.
Ultimately finding a person to talk to that is not involved on a daily bases wll be the best help

write down exactly how you're feeling and how much you want to hurt yourself. then either give it to someone close to you or go to the er and give it to them.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
