Today is not a good day (Trigger, maybe?)

I feel so, so awful. I just want to hurt myself so much. I want to cut and cut and cut, until my whole body is covered. I don't want to feel like this. I have no reason to feel like this. I want help. Hell, I'm numbing my arm right now so when I cut, maybe because I can't feel it, I'll "accidentally" cut too deep and have to go to the ER. And then everyone will know and I can get the help I want. I want so desperately to stop this.

hey - i know this is what everyone says, but just take it minute by minute, reminding yourself that you are ok for that minute and the next will be too. Then you can jump to hours, days etc. Please just don't cut - if your friends and family won't listen to your cries for help, walk into the ER and tell them your intentions and I promise you'll get help. Don't do what I did yesterday - 15 stitches later and having to lay it all out for my boss b/c he thought i was just skipping work. Shoot me a message if you'd like to talk. I've been there and know how much it hurts.

Is there anyone you can tell? Call a hotline even? I know it's terrifying but talking about it does help.
