U are NOT a bad person.I dont know whats been going on in your life, but i do know it can only go up from here. see a consoler if u feel that bad. I am not putting anything against u. Try to look at the bright side: people love you. If you have kids focus on them. If you are married, focus on your husband: People love you. Dont give it away. I dont even know you, and i am writing for you, if you were not loved nobody would have responded anything. you are loved ♥♥♥♥♥

thanx, but i have no children and I am single. I Know my mother loves me, but I don’t know whats wrong with me.

unidentifyable pain and the thought/fact of that makes it worse. sure you know cutting is an addiction and dont know how far how long you’ve been doing it you aren’t a bad person for cutting and feeling alone when so many are around you should be a trigger that something is up do your best to slow down dont know how deep you can cut with a needle dont use that method but just challenge yourself back away from it slowly like you should if a sleeping tiger was right in front of you so that you wont wake it puttting yourself in more danger

I do it with a needle because the ends are sharpe and I and I can get alot of them. They are steril. I have cut myself pretty deep. Its easier said than done. In imma have what you said in mind when I want to cut.

oh and when you get those needles from work try to move your hand and grab piece of hard candy or a mint or something and get a stress ball so you can squeeze something cutting is partly psychological with what we made it represent

I worked on stopping. I threw all the needles in my draw away before. A few days after that I went and used a knife on my arm and box cutter and I tried safety pins

good on the attenpt i applaud it really is a trial and error thing to stop so and right when your about to go back to it cool yourself down pick your utensil wisely ask whether you really want to do this and limit the number of cuts you make a time and dont allow your self to go back the next hour and do it again

thanx. I know I need the help thats why i write these things for advice and support like yours

do what i can, best wishes to you

Its not easy to find a counselor

you might have to go through more than one but overall it is worth it. ..peace
