Answers:
I know how you feel. Self harm was the answer to all my problems too. I know it does make you feel good. Lots of people think we are weird or mental. Really they don't understand b/c they have not been down that path. Cutting becomes very addictive. One cut because two before you know it you're addicted. I have tons of scars from cutting.
Please find another way to deal with everything. Draw red lines on your skin,pop a rubber band. Do anything to get rid of that bad feeling. What helps me the most is working out. Everytime I want to cut I go for a run. I burn off all those bad thoughts. You need to throw away all those blades or whatever you use away. You'll never stop if they are just laying around waiting for you.Health Question & Answer

Best friends dont care what youve been through or the things that have happened in the past, they love you no matter what. I wish my best friend would tell me half the things she keeps inside, but shes a very closed off person sometimes cause she thinks her problems arent important, its very annoying, because I care about and love her soo much. So just tell your friend whats going on, cause if shes really a true friend, she gonna love you always. And just ask her to go to therapy with you. Im in therapy right now and Im trying to talk about the things in my life that are very hard for me, and I wish she could be there with me, but shes dealing with her own things, and Id never put her through that. So I understand, but sometimes you just need someone there for you. I hope I helped, and I really hope you find someone you can talk to. Good luck sweetie!!!Health Question & Answer
Well.... it's a mental as well as physical addiction. Physically, your body gets addicted to the endorphins that are released when you cut your skin. Mentally, it helps your emotions smooth out.... for a while. Whenever you have those feelings again or even if you anticipate having them, your mind automatically thinks that you need to cut to rid the emotions or the anticipated emotions.Health Question & Answer
i know how you feel, i can't stop. my life at my house (i don't like to call it home) is screwed up. No one knows i do it and i don't do it to bad, not too deep but i know its bad and not a good thing to do i just can't stop. I'm stuck where i am now so it feels like my only escape. still i do try other things like taking walks to clear my head, a hot shower or bath, or go to sleep. but if its really bad i can't stop it. Its a drug. hope you have better luck than me Health Question & Answer
