I’ve become numb enough that I’ve bored myself into self harm.

I just don’t feel things anymore, and I want to make myself feel again. It’s not really that bad.. it started out as scratching but now I’m doing it more-scratching a little deeper each time. But I don’t know what else to do. I just want my emotions back! I want to feel what others feel but I don’t know how. Maybe it’s some sort of depression but I want to ******* mutilate myself until I feel. Even if it’s just a little bit.. Please, how can I knock my head into place again?! I don’t want to go insane.

the more you hurt yourself, the more you get used to it. this means ull lose even more feeling. if you want to gain back feeling, try taking a soothing bath or giving yourself a hand or ear massage. it’s also a ton better for you.

don’t think nothing helps. you have to believe that there’s more, or else then there really is nothing.
If you want to feel emotion, or fear, try watching a horror movie, or try sports, bungee jumping? or comedies, or romance, action, fantasy, whatever you’re into.
You can empathize with the characters, be moved by their adventures. or the music, or the special effects.
Mutilating yourself through cutting or drugs, which can be controlling and take over you’re life, it’s such a waste! >. There’s so many things in the world that are worth experiencing, culture, food, music. OK, so you’re life right now seems pretty monotonous at the moment, but that doesn’t mean it will always be that way!
Please don’t take the world for granted, there are wonderful things happening around you. when was the last time you saw the sunrise, or a made a baby or toddler laugh, felt the accomplishment of making cookies or growing plants.
You’re taking the internet for granted that’s for sure. it can offer you so much!
If your after a quick laugh try looking up Charlie the Unicorn (1,2 and 3) if you’re into that type of thing (I know I am) but hey that’s just me.
You can’t just sit there and wish for things to be different, you gotta try and make them different yourself.
You owe it to yourself, to try and live life that way. Hope that helped

It sounds like you have so much passion for life though! And reading about the chaos you’re going through right now is amazing, seeing as you’re still so coherent about things. I used to feel that passion, but now I just don’t. I used to love things, feel, taste, see the things of the world and take it in but now everything is just so ******* bland. I try and I try but it’s just not really helping. I wonder if it’s even worth being here.. I apreciate you’re trying to help, and I won’t give up, but it’s really hard.

I’m glad to here you’ll keep trying against the trials you’re put against, maybe if you had more support it would feel more encouraging, and people could tell you how far you’ve come. coherent? me? that’s rich *^_^* And I’m just average, everyone has issues, for me at the moment its procrastination. All the best with everything sickcharmande.
