I had a horrible Thanksgiving and am now back at work. I am all alone. I want to hurt myself. I know this is sick, but I raked my fingernails down my face and arms and dont look too good. While I was taking a shower this morning I started banging my head on the floor. I was later surprised to see my head was bleeding lightly. All the way to work, I wanted to drive my car into a tree. I didnt think I was suicidal, but the pain is more than I can bear. I want to inflict injuries upon my body because I am a worthless person.

Many of you know Mr K told me to "shut your mouth" in March 2025 when we took a road trip to Alpena Michigan. Since that time, we have had lots of ups and downs but I have never intentionally hurt Mr K in anyway. And when we first started dating in 2024 he let me know, although he is an engineer by degree, he has an extremely low EQ. Overall, he is ok (not off the charts nice like other guys in...
I'm sorry you had a horrible Thanksgiving, but no one is promised to have a good one so don't let that get you too down. My Thanksgiving wasn't great because I lost my father, but there will be better days ahead when I ride out the storm. Thanksgiving is ultimately just another day. It's what you make of it. Don't feel bad because it wasn't the picture perfect ideal that is rammed down our throats by the media.
I understand the desire to hurt yourself, but in the long run it causes more problems than it solves. Things will get better, they can change in an instant.
Focus on getting through each hour
Perhaps a rubber band around your wrist that you can snap against your wrist would help?
If you are feeling so suicidal please go to the ER to get the help that you deserve

The pain will pass, you need to give yourself time to let that happen. Talk to someone and be honest about your thoughts and how you're feeling. Ask them if they can come and stay with you for the evening so you're not alone?
Please tell the doctor honestly how you've hurt yourself already. Try and distract yourself from the circling thoughts, do something active that needs your full attention. Stay safe, don't hurt yourself anymore, you deserve to take care of yourself.
