Hey. It's getting worse. I know that I shouldn't be cutting myself anymore after I've given up, but I did last night, and I just did again a few minutes ago. I know I shouldn't be, but I want to cut again so much. I thought that I had given up on this for good almost four months ago. But the urge is coming back, worse than ever, and I don't know what to do to make it go away.

Take all the tools that you use to cut and put them somewhere you'd never find them, or lock them in a drawer or safe. Do the Butterfly Project. Tell yourself that cutting isn't right, no matter how much you want it or how satisfying it is. You and only you have the power to stop. Put yourself on a schedule, mark how many days you've gone cut-free, and at the end of a month (or week, however long you wish) reward yourself with something you like. Be it candy, food, makeup, a new stuffed animal, or browsing a website you are interested in. I hope this works to your advantage. |

I can try that, but I honestly doubt that there are any people out there that want to see me get better. All the things you listed sound doable, so I guess I can attempt to do those for now.

Don't say that ever again! I love you more than you can ever possibly know, and to hear you say that there aren't people who want you to get better is a complete, and total, lie!  Give yourself more credit, you're worth more than you think. |

For a moment, ignore the forum I'm posting in. Ignore the writing itself. Put on the World Trade Center theme and listen, ignoring the rest of the world. What do you hear? Do you hear the hope, or the sadness? I hear the sadness. I always seem to be able to recognize that while others might see the hope, I'm inclined to see the dark side of things. I recognize that there is a silver lining, but that I can't get at it. As though it's not there for me.
Today I actually told someone about my problem. I was having people who are nice to me draw butterflies on my arm (though I wasn't telling them why) and a friend of mine, (let's call her Erin) recognized what it was. She said to me, "Please tell me you haven't done this to yourself."
We were in front of certain other people, so I said 'no, I was doing it for a friend.' But after we were released from last period I went to her locker and said, "Um, Erin? I want to apologize...for lying to you earlier." When she realized what I was talking about she gave me a hug, and said some really nice stuff. It made me feel, ...I dunno, cared for I guess. But I'm still not ready to tell all yet. Give me time to get settled in, I'll get comfortable some time or other.

We'll be here when you're ready to tell us. |

I keep getting this feeling. It's kinda like an urge to scream to the world, HELP ME!!! I want people to know that I'm feeling this way, but what good would that do? I've got 'HELP ME!' scribbled across my journal in several different languages. (None of them being English)

Oh god. I've just hit rock bottom.....For the second time in my entire life. I-I just cut for the first time in about six months.... Then poured hand sanitizer all over it. Oh, dear god, it burns. I-It won't go away. This is a new low. I-I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm over it. Over the bullies. Over the discrimination. Over the hurt, over the longing, over everything. OVER LIFE. I'm not gonna try to commit suicide, nope nope nope, not gonna do it. But I can't say that the thoughts aren't there though. I need to go find my gauze pads and bandages.....This'll be a long, very loud and painful night. I can tell.  |

Percy, hun...If you EVER feel like that, you know that you can call me, or text me, or email me. I'm here. And I'll always be here. Things may seem rough, and hopeless, but it will get better. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel, and things will look up for you...You just have to live through the hardship. It only lasts for a little while. There has to be a bit of rain, before a rainbow can form. |

I don't know how to stop. I tell myself it's wrong and that it won't help but I don't stop. I'll go home after a rough day, and I say to myself I'll suck it up, I'll stop. But I can't. Everything suddenly pours over me, the pressure the bullies. And I think that I should end it this time. I know I'm never gonna commit suicide, but hurting myself isn't any better. I don't know who to talk to and I feel so alone...

I need serious help. Yesterday, I tried to drown myself in my own bathtub, in MY OWN BATHROOM. And since last Monday, the cutting's been getting worse and worse. I actually cut myself IN CLASS because I was feeling so desperate and alone. And that sounds ridiculous considering my best friend sits right next to me. She kept asking, "What's wrong?" and "Are you okay?" after class because I've told her about my situation already, and she's always trying to figure out what's going on with me. Can someone just help me through this? I just need someone to talk to and really just empty my feelings to.
