self harm
Posted: 03-05-08 14:02pm

For about 2 years now ive been really down and moody. I dont have alot of friends and dont get along with alot of my family.
I have selfharmed throughout them 2 years and finding it hard to stop.
I have reasons for this but i dont know what drove me to do it? I just did.
This year has been the worst for me, i self harm everyday and make myself sick, i dont know whats happening to me. I am trying to stop myself but i cant. I feel like im 2 people, there is me when im just normal and then there is another me who is distructuve and mean and evil. But i know its me, i know that might sound stupid but its the only way i can put it.
I feel like im going crazy, i dream and think weird things and words just go round in my head and i dont know where they come from,like having a conversation with yourself in a way.
Im only 16 but its really scaring me.
Ive had councilling in the past just to get over some family and school issues but this problem is getting in the way of everything. I cant concentrate in school and im failing my subjects and getting into trouble with my parents and teachers. I dont know what do. Is it just me?
I hope someone can reply with some advice for me, to tleast put my mind at rest or maybe to point me in the right direction as in what to do.

thankyou

You are not going crazy, don't worry! But you have some emotional problems and this is what is making you depressed to the point of self-harming. You absolutely must get someone on your side who will get you the help you need, whether it be a trusted teacher, a parent, or your doctor.

It would be impossible for anyone here to accurately diagnose your symptoms but I work with young people and I know that self-harming, making yourself sick and so on is all symptomatic of an overwrought nervous system. Exams, peer pressure, family concerns, relationships ... at 16 you have immense pressures on you and you need someone to talk to about it. You sound rather isolated, with no really close friend to talk to. So get a professional to talk to you: a therapist, a counsellor, a friendly doctor.

Please don't feel alone - you can post here as there are many good people who will listen to you and try to help. I will do what I can, too, but please try to get some professional help.

i would try and get help but what if my parents find out, they dont even know about my councilling because i kind of black mailed my councillor into not telling them. They would be furious with me. And what could they do for me? I doubt there is much they can do. It is the first time ive contacted one of these talking pages, i was just looking for information about what may be wrong iwth me and this came up. Im glad to know im not crazy, but i dont really like what is happening to me and i hope i can stop before i become really bad, i dont really want to be taken away from my family eventhough they drive me crazy. can i ask a question??? are these messages i am writing to you private?

thankyou

Girl- check out the self-injury forum, hopefully you could get some insight and support there from others who have been through the same thing.

You are NEVER alone here! I for one know if you were my daughter and you told me you were having these feelings, I would do everything in my power to see you got the professional help you needed. There are wonderful doctors and programs that can help you. I do hope you're parents are understanding and will do whatever it takes to be by your side. I wouold want my daughter to be able to talk to me about these things and not feel she had to go through this alone. She turns 25 this year...........we have a great relationship. This is not something you need to go through alone, and its not something you can just FIX....you are only 16. If you don't seek help, it will only get worse. ITs NOT YOUR FAULT.....I know its gonna be tough to try to explain to them and tell them, but the sooner you do, the better and it will all be out in the open and then you can start to seek help. I wish you were closer............I'd be there with you to help you explain to them! Keep in touch. Feel free to PM me anytime! HUGS!

I use to self harm, but I just wanted attention, I didn't really want to hurt myself. I found out from my doctor that I am borderline personality.

I hope that you can go to your doctor and get help that you need. The sooner the better, medication can take a bit to figure out before the right one works. Don't give up.
