I feel the exact same way

I hope you can find a way to feel better, and if you do, please tell me, idekwhy

I will also be here if you ever need anyone to talk to. Ik what it feels like to feel like you deserve to harm yourself. In order to stop myself I just think about my grandparents and how they wouldn’t want me doing things to myself.

Never give up. Ever. You are stronger than you think. You have to dig deep but you will be able to find it. You're family and friends are concerned for you and you should be too. You have much to offer someone and this world. Start by looking at the positive things you have in your life. All of the good things. Even if it is something that is small. That small thing can spark something so much bigger.

I was just about to post about something similiar, honestly. I burn myself. It's incredibly addicting, and I think about it nearly all the time. I haven't quit either, but I do it less than I used to. I guess it kind of helps to start with realizing why you started doing it. And I literally make lists of things I can do besides burning myself,which at least helps distract for a while. You're not alone with having this struggle, which can be a comfort in itself sometimes.

thank you all, reading all of this has made me feel like there is hope. it's just so addicting, and I feel as if it helps and makes me feel better when a day is just pure fucked up, at least it makes me feel better.
thank you for the advice and wise words, I will try and take it into account next time because I really don't want to let my friends and family down anymore. I managed to not do so today because for the first time in a long time I managed to start and say what I feel and it helped a lot.
thank you, and if there are any problems amongst you all too, I will try and do my best to help

Thankyou for posting your situation on here because i think alot of ppl can relate. I used to self harn because it made my intagable and unmanageable mental and emotional pain feel validated, Have you tried putting an eladtic band around your wrist and flicking it on yourself or using ice? (Frozen water variety?) Then u can feel the sensation of pain but it doesn't cause scarrs or permanent damage. Also your family may need education on self harm and why ppl do it and that it is a symptom of a far greater underlying issue. Take care ok!:))

Hi- I’m very sorry you are going through this. I have a friend who overcame self-harm after many months of doing it. She joined a life group from her church who is constantly give her encouragement and help her in her walk with the Lord. During her free time she volunteers and go to the gym. She loves to sing so most of the time, she plays piano while singing. She is also part of their church’s worship team. Try also to do things that you think you will enjoy. You can try to write down your feelings and thoughts to help you release them and to prevent you from harming yourself. Go out for a walk. Sunlight is good for boosting mood.

I pray that things will work out for you. Keep us posted. God bless.
