I've never had a problem with cutting myself with a knife, but I will say that, when I'm emotionally hurting, I get in the gym and cut my MUSCLES physically by pushing a lot of weight. Then the emotional pain becomes but a splinter compared to the physical pain I'm enduring, and when I'm done, there is a positive result: Feeling physically AND emotionally stronger.

I hope you find a similarly healthy path.

Pimp? As in prostitution?

How old are you? You may be the victim of crimes and need to go to the police.

Alcohol and/or cutting would be 2 more problems added to any others.

There is not enough information to give much specific advice but you need to turn away from all destructive behaviors. All of them.

I did cutting after a breakup with my boyfriend. I had to check myself into a hospital for one night and I got put on anti depressants. I took them for about 6 months and stopped. I've been doing good and have not had thoughts of suicide or cutting. Not saying pills are the answer but do seek help.

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
