I've lost everything, and there taking everything away from me that I've worked my ass off to get, my schoolings going down the drain, and they all expect me to be okay with it, I've already lost alot of people, and alot of family, and my little cousins aren't living with me anymore, all because I'm getting clean and staying off drugs, and now I feel so useless and like there's nothing left to hold on to or fight for, and I'm really trying to fight my urge to cut myself over and over again, and burn myself, just to make this pain go away, I haven't done it in so long, and I don't want to start again, but right now the urge is winning, I'm looking for a razor, and just can't stop myself, I'm just not okay anymore................................

i'm sorry that you're feeling this way, but you CAN stop!!!!!!!!! i felt the EXACT same way yesterday and i went into the bathroom after i found a tool and poised it at my skin and then thought about how mad my parents would be, how bad the figt would be and i flushed my tool down the toilet........i know that you feel like you have nothing to live for, but live to BEAT this!!!!!!!! i know that that quick fix might be something that you really want, but the pain won't go away....i hope this helped.....if you ever need to talk to someone i'm here

I can totally understand why you feel so frustrated; you're basically being reprimanded for making positive changes in your life. This is going to sound corny but it's true: you're having to go down a very crappy road before you reach the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. There's not much one can say that can make it feel better but the fact that you have been able to stay away from self-harm for a while shows that you have the courage and the inner-strength to get past this. As hopeless as it may seem, stay on the right track and show everyone that you're stronger than they can ever imagine. I wish u much luck.

Thank you guys. But unfortunately I did start again and was getting pretty bad, very fast, and it wasn't a good thing, and I knew it, but I told people and asked for help. So one of my good friends took my razors, it was the ultimatinum he gave me, him or the blades pretty much, and he's my support, and means alot to me, and I know he only did it because he couldn't watch me hurt myself again, as he's the one who helped me stop last time when I last about three years before I started again, so I'm not angery with him because he's always there for me. And I'm in the process of getting help for it, I'm finally ready to start talking, and stopping this addiction once and for all, I know with addiction it's always going to be there, but I'm taking the steps I need to get the help and support I need to be okay, and get through this. And I'm finding alot of people on here who understand what I'm going through, and there helping me alot by just talking to me, because thats the worst part was not having anyone to say the right thing or understand so they made it worse, but on here, I'm finding people that are helping me alot, and I appricate it so much. So again thank you for the support and encouragement, I just hope that I can fight this, and never go back again, because at the rate I was going and so fast it was going to lead to me bleeding to death, and that was scary for me and the people who really care about me, so I'm ready to open up and talk now, and finally feel, and not try to control and block it out with cutting, drugs, or drinking. I know it's going to be hard, but I'm doing my best, and trying really hard, because this time I'm really ready to get my life back on track, so again thank you so much.
