I feel like such a retard, I was cutting myself and I cut too deep and had to go to the hospital. I got seven stitches, and I feel really bad, I am such an idiot. Well I guess at least now I will stop doing that. I had to get a psych evaluation, but I got them to let me leave early cause I have classes today. I have to go back and get more work done later in the week, so wish me luck I guess.

Yeah I guess I am depressed, I was cutting myself cause it gave me release from my problems, at least for a moment however small that moment was. It was my arm, right at the shoulder actually that I was cutting, right where nobody could see it, so I guess that I am going to stop doing that cause it scared me to see what I had done. Surprisingly I could feel nothing when I did it, so I am not really sure if that is normal, but I always thought that I was in control and that I knew when to stop. I guess not huh?

<< I was cutting myself and I cut too deep and had to go to the hospital. >>


I hate it when I'm slicing myself up and it goes too deep too. Into the flesh is ok but when you hit an artery unexpectedly and all of a sudden you've got to get stitches - it becomes a real bummer. Then it sort of makes me wonder if cutting myself in the first place is even worth it at all, but there's always 20/20 hindsight with stuff like that tho. ;)

Dude, see a counselor and/or get some meds. If you don't have the money get some from your family...tell them its cheaper than buying a casket. You start getting into stuff like that and it just gets easier. And you won't have 1/2 the mess on your hands that others will when they have to clean up after you bled to death.

Atlantean: What do you do when you have a toothache? See a dentist right? How about when you're sick? See a doctor?

What happens if you do nothing? It either gets worse or doesn't go away. Get yourself some help. It will get better, given counseling, time, and perhaps some new meds.

You are not in control when you cut yourself. In fact, it's a red flag when you do things like that that you are not in control. Write down what you are feeling and positive things that you could do to possibly feel better. If you feel overwhelmed with problems, don't look at the whole, take the time to go step by step and tackle each problem one at a time. That way, they're smaller and not so awful. Think a happy thought each hour. For example, at 3pm today, think something happy. It can be anything at all, so long as it's happy. Even something as small as "I had a good lunch today." Then repeat the process each hour. Just as one negative thought breeds more negative thoughts, positive thoughts promote positive thinking.

Get counseling. I can't stress this enough. A counselor can help you get better faster.

And finally, suicide is a final solution for a temporary problem. See a counselor.

this is serious, in here you ask if this is normal, It is a sign that something is bothering you. It also sounds like you are having trouble dealing with it. I think that Azraele has it right. seek professional help. At this point you have reached you should no longer try and deal with it alone. talk to a counselor.

How can you walk on the path of self-improvement when your very first obstacle is yourself? (*edit* and they always say starting is the hardest part... so you're just making it unnecessarily hard on yourself) Take care of yourself.

Didn't you post the thread about killing yourself?...and i said i wanted your computer?...

you really are serious about this....man, you're nuts.

I mean, i tried to circumcise myself once, but that was a brief fling when i wanted to be hired by a jewish law firm. They didn't hire me, so i glued my skin back on.
