I'm falling apart. I am about to take a razor blade to my skin several times...

This is a poor way of getting attention. If you want attention and someone to take care of you, then say "I'm really hurt and want someone to talk to".

There are good people in life who will understand that you are hurt when u tell them you are hurt. Just because your inner circle has people that don't recognize your feelings when you get hurt, such that you resort to physical torture to get attention, it doesn't mean that the inner circle represents people in general.

Most people are good. Try to speak nicely to get help

Okay. The best way to not cut is to look at the function of your Behaviour.


Are you trying to escape pain by cutting?
Are you trying to gain an item by cutting?
Are you trying to get someone's attention by cutting?


If so, then use good ways to achieve the same function. You can escape pain by talking to someone. You can get attention by talking to someone.

This is the means to not cut.

I'm trying to escape the pain

@rokrchik1211: the best way to escape pain/fire is to seek help and have a safety plan for next time.

In times of fire you call 911. In times of pain you should call some friends or message ur girl friends on SW.

For future, you should do mock fire/pain drills and get in to the habit of resorting to ur safety plan instead of self injury.

That will only temporarily cover up the emotional pain. Don't do it, it's pointless. You know that.

I don't wanna hurt anyone but I don't care if I hurt myself @Wraithorn:

@rokrchik1211: You won't do it. Not while all these cats are watching you.

rokrchik121126-30, F
The cats would probably scratch me all up anyway

I have tried to msg you to chat, I will take your silence in a reply as this is a way to get attention. As you can see 3/4 of the replies are sarcasm. You made ur bed now it's time for you to grow up and face ur demons.. I find most pain is self inflicted and I have no sympathy for that

Get a rubber band, put it tight around your wrist and snap it instead.
rokrchik121126-30, F
I've tried that. I just bruised my arm
PeacefulF
@rokrchik1211: keep doing it. You can also draw on yourself. That works too.

Tell me "I'm hurt and want you to talk to me"

Copy and paste this to me (or anyone). And then I will talk to you.

I have never understood that behavior. Never will.

Nor will I.

Nor could we? I mean, we don't have that type of mental illness?

You might try duct tape instead. It's much better at holding things together.

What would you like us to do about it? We can't exactly stop you...
SW-User
It's an addictive feeling.

NigelDoes56-60, M
So this is where we're supposed to talk you out of it?
SW-User
I hope you do not as it will not solve anything if you do.
Sadie14F
You're gonna shave?
rokrchik121126-30, F
No I'm gonna cut myself :(
