i've been doing really badly lately. i just want to give up but i don't kno if i should.i just really am not sure what to do. i've been cutting so much my best friend wants nothing to do with me and i don't kno what to do. i've been cutting so much that i have no feeling in my arm. the only person i told about my problems told so many other people at school that i can hardly stay at school anymore. i've gottin to the point where not matters but cutting and death is always on my mind. i mean i bring saftey pins to school and stab myself or even pocket knifes and i cut myself in the bathroom what to i do?

first thing.. DON'T GIVE UP... it will get better, it will just take take time... try and talk to your friends and ask them to be there for you and support you..... and PLEASE try to eave the safty pins and pocket knives at home.... the last thing you need is to have a pocket knife drop out of your pocket and have you being suspened or exspelled...

plus they will ask you why you have those with you.. and i'm sure thast the last thing you want

Dont give up, you have a suppot here rooting for you,v you can make it through this. try anf leave the sharp thngs at home for one or two days a week for a while, than three or four, and finally five if you can, wheem yourself off of them at least at school, it would be best, talk to someone, a teacher or a freind, some one at school that has a rep for being a good listner. maybe try and go to a counsler if you feel that you can, try the red marker thing on your ark every so often instead of the cutting. I know its hard, but you can make it, i believe in you :) you make it through this.

Try the butterfly project. Do a youtube search for it. Basically, it's using a marker to draw a butterfly on your skin that you aim to keep alive by not SI-ing. Let me know if you want more info. Stay safe and don't give up.

what ever you do choose to do hunni, do not give up. things will turn around and you have to think about your family and friends. they may not show it sometimes, but trust me if you did do anything majorly serious they would be devastated, and I am sure your best friend who you said wants nothing more to do with you only says that because he/she does not know how to help you and they are worried bout losing you because of it. you could try taking anty stress pills. I found kalms tablets helped me but only a little bit. just try rather than cutting yourself doing something else, eg, twang a rubber band on your wrist or get therapy. it should help. I am here if you want to talk xCx

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
