I SLICED MYSELF EARLIER TONIGHT TO TAKE AWAY THE PAIN. IT HELPED FOR A WHILE. I DID REGRET DOING IT. NOW I AM RIGHT BACK TO WHERE I WAS EARLIER. I HAVE BEEN TURNED DOWN FOR HELP FROM THE HOSPITAL AND FROM THE SUICIDE HOTLINE YESTERDAY AND THE DAY BEFORE. SO THEY ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR ME. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO. I REALLY WANT TO SLICE MYSELF AGAIN. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE. I AM SCARED.

I can't believe they turned you down, try calling again. However, in the mean time focus on other things and how people who respond to seeing your scars.

go to halfofus.com it helps believe me :D!

What do you mean they turned you down? The hospital did? Aren't they supposed to check you in if they think you're suicidal, not saying you are, but seeing cuts on your arms and what not would most likely put up a red flag would it not? The hotline turned you down? How could they? I agree with swimshark, call again.
In the meantime, do you have any friends you can call to talk about it with? Try and keep your hands busy and your mind elsewhere. If you want to talk, I'm here, but I'm not sure theres much more I can suggest. Please be careful! There are people here for you, just ask.

a friend on the depression board got me listening to music... I am finding it is silencing the demons inside that want to cut... I have been listening to Metallica, Suicidal Tendenancies, Guns 'n Roses, Godsmack... he also recommended Rob Zombie and one other bad I can't remember... let me go find his note.
