I don't really have any words of advice...I am the same way...I have an appointment with a specialist therapist who deals mainly with people who SI, so I am hoping she can help me...most therapists will tell you to just stop or that you do it for the attention. At least all the ones I've had do. Good luck finding something to help...I hope I find something, too.

sometimes the physical pain is a lot easier to handle than the emotional pain. i am victim to that reasoning myself. i dont hae any suggestions but i hope things get better for you. *big hugs*

how does self harmin calm u dwn??

u need to find a way of doin somethin to calm u down the does not use Si i am sat here wif a bandge on me hand cuz i did it last nyt and i dont wont me mum and dad to find out i need this thin up that i hurt myself in pe just to get it i no it is bad but i have to do it cuz of things that have gone on in my life

for some people its different things, is the reason you SI due to the physical pain? or the mark it leaves? There are distraction techniques for both. x

Most therapists are under the belief that people who self-harm either want attention or can just stop the behavior. Of course, we all know that just isn't the case!!
There is a program called S.A.F.E.
It's difficult to get into and doesn't have programs everywhere but offers the best help for anyone who cuts, burns, etc. My advice would be to check them out on the internet, see if they have any groups in your area, check if any therapists know of their program, read thier book (has an outline of their program and suggestions to cope).
Hope this helps. Lots of hugs.
