Love help: When u feel blue, have anxiety, traumas from ur childhood gets to u, and u just want it all to stop. - Help.com

When u feel blue, have anxiety, traumas from ur childhood gets to u, and u just want it all to stop.

My solution have been a razorblade since i was 15, im now 22. My arms, stomach and legs look like an zebra :P

Im as said above a 22 year old girl from norway, and im a psychiatric patient, not in a institution, but on medication. Even tho im better than i was and im down to only one medication now.and My dpression is letting its grip of me, and my anxiety comes on visit sheldom. My major problms now are PTSD an /selfharming/. But i want to quit harming myself.. i want to be able to walk with t-shirts again in the summer, go bathing. But i cant stop it… i have been good this summer… but when anything happends and i dont know how to react on it i find myself sitting in the bathroom with blood everywere and a new wound on y arm. I get afraid because of the dissosiation and cant really remember how it happend. Selfharming are like drugs, once u have started u will get adicted to it :( and its verry hrd stopping what u have started.

So my question are simle really… i need to learn how to react “normally” on things… but i donno how, i cant express sadness, anger, fear, love or real happiness :S any advice to a dejected zebragirl? :)

I was exposed to sexualharrasment when i was 7 or 8. I had forgotten all about this episode intill 2 years ago. And i devlopted PTSD (post-traumatic-stress-disorder) wich controlls most of my life now. But i have started to take back controll of my life tho.. 2 years ago i had major changings in my life: boyfriend and i broke up, sister moved to england, parents got divorced, i moved away, my uncle died. so every thing just fell down and i got sick. Its funny tho, selfharming… its the one thing i really hate most in the world but in the same time its the one thing that i love. It controlls me… cuz thats the only way i can controll my feelings. and some times its just required to be agry, sad ect.

and please dont go on with some emo ****.. im not emo! verry much far from emo! selfharming are a symptom on metal illness and should be taken seriouse. If u know anybody who selfharm or do so urself tell someone u trust! Get help, the sooner u get help the better, get help before u find urself in the middle of this **** and r adictive to it:S

Every time you want to harm your self; GO DO SOMETHING! Go for a walk, read a book, play video games. Do something to entice your mind to think about other things then hurting your self.

It’s also helping me with quitting smoking which if you think about it, are the same. They are both addictions in there own since.

how to act normally: cry when you feel sad, scold the person if you are angry at that person,laugh when you feel happy or funny, do constructive things that will reduce your anguish in that particular situation than to not do anything and let the situation sweep you away. don’t take everything inside and bottle it up, its bad for health both mentally and physically. but rmb don’t overdo when you show your emotions outside cos some ppl may feel uncomfortable.

Worrying is a bad habit, you need to overcome it like any other bad habit. Try to modify the factors under your control, that is the only thing you can do. From http://mshn.org/worry.html
