Self harm help: i’ve just done something stupid - Help.com

Go to the doctor.

First, go get stitched up. Then, arrange to see a professional counsellor.

man i miss doing that

I really think you should go talk to somebody… If not a counsellor (highly suggested) maybe a friend or someone you trust…

Miss what?

Get help.

cutting and drinking and getting high

Go and see a doctor and get the arm seen to…. maybe they will admit you to hospital and have you assessed quickly and fast track you through the mental health system.

You seem to have a lot of conflicting conditions…. anorexia and bulimia can go hand in hand…a bulimic who binges/purges can become aneroxic if their weight drops low enough to fit into that caterogy but alcohol has calories and an anorexic would struggle with taking those calories into their system and a bulimic might be able to take the calories in but would want to purge them ensuring that getting drunk would be almost impossible…. therefore the drink is unlikely to be the cause of the self harm….but you seem to have linked your drinking session with cutting… because there is so much going on with you i strongly sugget you go to A and E and ask to see a mental health professional…. and quickly.

And by telling you to get help I have just helped you. See how Help.com works?

you should go to a friend and talk to them.. dont go to no doctor they will through you in a mental insutution faster than you can blink. and trust me that is somewhere no one wants to be. just stop i know it is hard as hell but i did it. and i am younger than you. any one can do it it is just hard as hell.

Go find a church that has open doors prayer and just discreetly to the pastor what you would like help with. I promise you that God can and will help.

I agree. You can stop, you just have to want to. As long as you have someone who believes you, they can help you in everything!

Unfortunatly at this time of night even in a city you wouldn’t find a church with it’s doors open now…. sign of the times but it just doesn’t happen anymore.

He was talking about this.

There use to be a time in the UK where you could find a church with it’s doors open 24/7… it just doesn’t happpen these days… smaller churches that are out of the cities sometimes do leave there doors open but the reason why is because if people want to be inside the church would rather let them easily enter rather than cause damage to the doors, windows or building trying to gain entry. Awful because a church should be a safe haven to turn to at any time.

You can’t hold it back forever though. Your gonna need a release some time and then you’ll bomb and you’ll feel bad and promise yourself to stop and then later on you’ll need another release and bam your in a helpless cycle. Go get someone to hold you accountable for your actions and have them check up on you regularly until you eventually kick your habit. This may take some time.

I live in the U.S. and can still find it.

I am pretty sure you know some Christian friends… Get them together and get a guitar player and go sing worship songs. That might put your spirits in a better mode. And what about small groups or youth groups, aren’t they open usually on sunday afternoons?

I know of several over here in the states. 2 of my old churches both do it.

No, there are other answers but the best answer of all is God. He is the way, the truth, and the life. If you go to him asking for help he will nit turn you down, unlike some doctors. He is the best medication that you can get, and the best thing is that it is all free.

Pray and GET SOMEONE TO CONFESS TO! Get a person like a pastor or a guy you know you can trust and tell him/her (usually best if its the same gender) about your problems and ask them to every so often to check up on you and help you stay away from doing it. The thing is, YOU are the one making the change, YOU have to want to change on your own and then go get help.

Are both of you really Christians?

I don’t mean to offend I am just curious…

Yes I am, I run sound for my church and participate in the Wensday night service. My grandpa teaches that class.

What’s wrong with counselling? Why didn’t you like it before?

A/V rocks

The answer may be religion in the long run…. possibly…. but right now you need to go to a hospital and get medical help…. which is what you were advised to do at the start of the post.
