I have started cutting again after about two months of not cutting. I am struggling alot with this issue and I don't know what to do about it.
Not only am I cutting but I am hitting things am slowly taking to much medicine each time I take it. I need some advice and help on what to do I am completely lost.

Did something happen to make you want to cut again? You should probably try to do things to distract yourself and maybe talk it out with family or friends. What do you mean are hitting things?

Nothing really happened to make me start cutting again. I felt this pain inside of me and wanted to get ride of it and the only way is to hurt myself. I wish I had family and friends to talk to about this but my parents don't understand and really probably don't want to hear about it. As for friends I really don't have any.

When it comes to hitting things, I pretty much hit anything. Mainly walls and doors.

Well, there is a self injury support group on here:

it might help to talk with others that also cut. I don't cut so don't understand the feeling of wanting to do that. I still think it might be good to visit family for a bit so you don't feel so alone.
