I just got hit with a whole of emotions and I feel like I got thrown into a dark pit.. I can't do it anymore.. I want to cut and cut till there is nothing left..I feel so alone and so trapped in this dungeon... I feel helpless, worthless, and trapped in a whirld wind of darkness and it's suffocating... And no one seems to care or even notice.. I have no one to talk to about anything.. I'm truly all alone

you are not alone, not in how you are feeling or in existence, trust me. and if u ever need someone to message feel free to message me. and it will get better you just have to believe, and self harm while a great coping mechanism doesn't solve anything

Please don't hurt yourself- you are not alone in this world. You are none of those things that you said you are. I have to credit you for being very brave to reach out for help because we are all here for you. The best thing that I could ever do for you right now is to listen... you should take time to process your emotions. Try to relax your mind by meditating and taking deep breaths.

These are some extreme thoughts your having sounds very intense

Are you depressed?? Take meds exercise eat well
Have you just started a medication and it's making you more distressed?
Logically review your relationships is anyone treating you bad? Can you cut out the rot?
Can you do more stuff socially? Get a room mate? Bf etc

Once I decided that my negative thoughts was my illness I decided to ban them

At first this was through self harm, but then I went onto safe self harm

Holding ice cubes, twanging elastic bands on wrist, drawing blood on mysel etc

From there I was able to progress to mental commands to not think negative thoughts

And slowly over time I cultivated a pleasant inner life that felt ok

There's apparently a lot to say for the benefits of mindfulness

Have you watched eckart tolle on YouTube? He really helps learn to get some distance and creates a space to chuckle in the midst of our compulsive negative thinking
