I Am Battling Self Harm

I hate it sitting alone crying as blood drips I cut where no one usually can see try and pretend everything is ok but its not I need help but more people try the more I push away. Everytime I cut the skin I scream in both psychical and mental pain

One of my favr authors Byron Katie (she used to be suicidal and had extreme depression) .. would ask u this ..(it is her unique method of getting ppl OUT of their minds and heads and 'stories' of what they think they are /need to be):
This would be a sample dialogue of you and what she would say:
YOu: 'I need to feel pain and cut myself.'
Byron: 'Do you absolutely KNOW that you need to feel pain and cut yourself.?'
(most say:No I can't absolutely 'KNOW')
Byron: Ok, how do u feel when u think the thought I need to feel pain?
You: 'Sad, scared..'
Byron: Who would u be WITHOUT that thought?
You: I'd be free, with joy.

Now tell me the TURNAROUND: 'I do NOT need to feel pain or cut myself'
Byron: Good, now what are 3 reasons you do NOT need to feel pain? (then u go into y ourself deep down, and find 3 real reasons why you do not, and THAT is more truth, than the thought that was causing you suffering)

@SW-User Yes you have to write it down, her questions, and then find 3 reasons (which is MORE truth than the 'suffering' thought) why you DO NOT need to feel pain or cut yourself. You can do it 💙

I'm so sorry. :(

First: Are you safe?

And second, you say you push people away. What do you think makes you push them away?
