HELP!! B grateful 4 any advice, anything!! -- Posted by amiee at 4:24 am on Oct. 22, 2008 How are you feeling now? To be honest, I think it's important that you work on the reasons behind the cutting. Why do you want to cut? What's making you feel so bad? If you could perhaps explain some of that, we could try working on those issues. Working on the issues behind the cutting can help a great deal when it comes to stopping. -- Posted by Anonymous at 5:28 am on Oct. 22, 2008 well i feel like a deserve to be punished sumtimes and i can't handle my emotions anymore. -- Posted by amiee at 6:35 am on Oct. 22, 2008 I'm going to get on to give you a proper reply, but I just want to make sure I understand everything first, yeah? Why do you feel you deserve to be punished? -- Posted by Anonymous at 7:54 am on Oct. 22, 2008 erm... i feel hopeless and useless, i can't concentrate at school any more and i am constantly tired so i am getting by on sheer luck, i am a failure i can't do anthing right. -- Posted by amiee at 5:11 am on Oct. 24, 2008 Hi, this is a reply from a member called MiaBia. I know how hard it is to stop. It's how you've learned to cope, and finding a new (healthier) coping mechanism is difficult, to say the least. Remember the reason you STOPPED cutting. Make sure you always know how important it is for you to not cut. Think of yourself as your best friend. Would you call your best friend a failure? No. You would not. So treat yourself better. Look in the mirror and compliment something, like your hair, or your eyes. When people compliment you, accept the compliment and recognize it. Be kind to yourself!!!! P.S.- If you ever want to talk or vent about this or whatever, feel free to message me. - MiaBia This member has had previous experience with self harm so I hope this helps! -- Posted by Anonymous at 5:19 am on Oct. 24, 2008 thanks
