About 3 years now.
well can i ask how bad was ur life, to wanting to hurt ur self?
I used to cut was I was a teen. Cutting is a way for you to let the pain out and for the outside world to see the pain inside. It is not a suicide attempt. It is a release. I stopped without professional help, but went on to other behaviors, life my beloved eating disorder( which I’ve stopped).

The only help I can offer lies within yourself. Are you willing to stop, to look at the world in a different point of view?
If you look deep inside yourself, you may find something you never knew, might even find something you don’t like…. but its better to know what you fear and face it instead of hiding behind a knife. I know that life isn’t all its crack out to be, but I can promise that if you have a friend or family member you can talk to that it might help you. It helped me I use to slap my face until it was bruised and I tried to slit my wrist more than once. But I took a look at myself and realized no matter what people said to me or what they did I would always have myself and it made me stronger.
I know it sounds corny but its the truth. Life is hard and cruel but only you can change it. I know I don’t know you but please please consider talking to a counselor or family before its too late
their is a whole world of people who do love and care about others, you just have to find them, Im sorry for what ever situation your in if you need a friend to talk to I am willing just write me at i> small>(email removed) /small> /i> and I will always have an open ear.

You do not need to self harm, suicide or be depressed we are here to help, you will recover.
Ive also said previously on this forum you should be really proud that you have opened up and realised there is a problem, its when you finally admit to yourself and others that you are no longer in denial and are ready to make a recovery, i will admit there is no quick fix. we must bear in mind that it usually takes a while to get low enough to admit there is a problem and it takes a while to reverse this.Do what works for you, tell people that you are ill and you need to do whatever it will take for recovery, if they cant support you in this they are not worth knowing. I dont wish to come accross hard, its that the most important thing is your happiness, its important to live your life as you wish to live and not as others wish you to live it. To be honest self development is avaailable to all of us, its a shame we only tend to use it when we are depressed. When i say personal development i mean to get to the stage where you understand your emotions and use them to benifit you. One example is fear, most will feel fear and wait until it passes to feel happy again, we dont need to wait that long!! We can look at most fears and transend them instantly. Say we are to go for a new job,we fear rejection and the rejection hasnt even happened yet therfore its not what happens that we fear its what we think whats going to happen we fear!!Look, our fear cant be fear of an outcome as that outcome hasnt happened yet!! we are always fearing what we think the outcome is going to be, its as if we think we can predict the future! How many times in the past have you fear a situation that didnt even happen, Millions i bet. If we say were wrong 99 out of 100 times is that not enough evidence that we dont need to fear the future?? As i said this way of thinking is available to all of us and its fantastic. Im 42 and have suffered with depression for the past few years.
After Medication, Reading and Listening to self help material i have changed my outlook on life. Its almost as if im pleased this happened to me so i got to experience what this illness is like and live with the fear and anxiety. Its perhaps i feel that its hard to appreciate good if you havnt felt bad. Im left with a huge passion that i want to help others that have experienced or are experiencing this illness. I would really love to provide a web site providing self help and give others the opportunity to access materials that will help them recover from depression. I will endevour to do this, i know you can recover.
would just like to thank everyone that has offered their advice it is greatly apreciated
