Self-harm support thread v. 3

Sorry to hear that man :(
What about a friend or something? I'm sure this is just a super rough patch and things will start to look up again for you soon.
Are you going to quit drinking?? I think that will help massively.
Hang in there man, okay? <3
 
ive heard of this before...
but i still say you should not do that... just messed up
kinda reminds me of how a lot of H fiends will just stick themselves without shooting up
 
***Dear Any Local Mod***

Could we set up a pole for Male/Female in here?.. Well, I should say Female/Male lol which is kinda my point.. I don't think there is any doubt that the majority will be female, but that said, as a guy it can definitely feel like I'm the only one. I know I've seen at least one confirmed guy say something here before, but honestly I usually just assume every person posting here is a girl unless their post says something specifically indicating otherwise.

I was thinking about opening a thread to put the pole in but anything talking about cutting in the title is sure to attract assholes with nothing better to do than be a dick so I don't know how accurate that would be. I figure if you could open one up in the official thread it would get results from the real 'regulars'.

annnyway... just a thought, would be nice to know there's others out there.
 
um, it doesnt sit to well with me for some reason, but i understand your question and curiosity.

but i guess if others would really want to see this done as well, the majority rules - i would be more interested in it as a temporary thing.
 
^ well yeah, that's what I was thinking, this thread goes though new versions often enough, I wasn't trying to suggest it be carried over to the next generation

I'm sorry I would really like to talk, but like I was saying to somebody in private I just feel so numb right now, my mind and my heart feels numb. I want to open up and express myself, but I honestly feel restrained.

Hey, man, a cool trick is to just start typing/writing. Who cares about formatting and a pretty flow of thought? Not really anyone here. I'd actually like to read what you are going through. It kinda helps (for me) to know I'm not alone. Once you start typing away you may find it hard to stop!

Many of us here have thought of or attempted suicide. It'll be alright, man, eventually. That's the hard part, 'eventually'. But sometimes we simply have to 'go through it' in order to 'get through it'. Don't worry, if you don't have anyone IRL to lend support, you can talk to us, a bunch of anonymous, multi-cultural people who have more similarities than differences.
 
Yeah, please don't take such drastic measures. I am positive that there are an infinite amount of alternate routes that you can take that don't involve distress, anguish, etc. This message board is fraught with brilliant minds. If you continue to divulge what's bothering you and press forward, it is quite likely that we can help you come to better conclusions, solutions, etc.

I dealt with a very long period of depression, so it's always possible that we may be able to relate.
 
Like a few people said, lots of us on here can relate to your pain or current state of mind. As said, here you won't find ways to hurt yourself but you will and can find support if you want it. There are some here who are willing to listen to you, speak with you about ways to cope that are constructive. It's a good place to make contacts and network.
Your depression is temporary, as unrealistic as that sounds right now. It take a lot of f'ing strength to get through it and even see a slit of hope in life-but in time you'll muster that up. Prove to yourself, not anyone else, that you are of worth and are going to do something awesome during your life time. (because you are, and you can)

I shouldn't have turned back to this.
I thought the permanent scars from the past would be an incentive to stay away from sharp objects,
but at this point in time there's a part of me that makes it hard to control my thoughts and actions.
I know this is going to bring dear grief to the close ones in my life, I wish I didn't think this way when the going gets tough.
This is by no means a cry for attention. Sometimes people deal with matters in a harsh way, and it's important to get it out and have people to turn to.

Man you know I'm always here for you. Whenever you're ready to talk about this, I'm here waiting. You know I've been through what you're dealing with so I understand.
Please take care bro <3
 
Stay strong! Although I can't claim to understand exactly what you are going through I can say that from my own experiences that this will pass. There is a lot left to do and nothing that is happening now should take away from that fact. I only hope you feel better.

I'm male and I used to cut myself pretty badly. I haven't done it for maybe three years, but old addictions never really fade away. Sometimes I catch myself thinking about it...

I agree with you though - it would be interesting to find out the male/female balance. Wikipedia tells me females are about twice as likely to be found cutting, but also qualifies this by saying men are less prone to revealing themselves. So I don't know.
 
Relasped on Cutting

I just read the cutting sticky and I started cutting when I was 11. It was before I started using but it seemed to be the start of my addiction. I used to cut more when I was using, I couldn't feel anything and just wanted to see how far I could go.
Now that I've got a small amount of clean time I ended up doing it again anyway. If there was a reason at the time I don't remember it now. I think I just needed to feel something at that moment.
But I ended up hurting someone I care alot about by doing this and I never meant to.
It's been about three or four days now, during the day I'm fine. I'm distracted by being with people or just catching up on normal life things. At night completely different story. I end up in my head when I'm alone and it seldom turns out good.
I don't know what I was hoping to get from this post. Maybe someone's where I'm at or was. I hope not but people keep telling me not to shove things down so there, I talked about it.
 
I did it again, Fuck i feel like my life is inching closer and closer to the end and I'm only 21. I stay locked inside my head, it's a prison to me, I'm living my own hell.
You think I'd learn a lesson from past mistakes. Bad habits are hard to break. :\

How are you today D's??


I was super-depressed last night, hardly slept at all while churning horrible horrible thoughts through my head all night. By the morning I was seriously ready and willing to die. I have never been so close to cutting myself (and not actually following through) in my whole life :|

But I talked it through with my partner, I'm feeling better now but very drained.

Now, I am so glad I didn't succumb to the cutting urges because tomorrow is To Write Love On Her Arms Day and it means a lot to me that I've gone over a year without cutting myself. How awful would it have been to have a fresh wound on my arm on the very day that promotes recovery from such acts.
