I Am Battling Self Harm

DAMMMMMIT! I was doing so well. I had no urges or anything despite the pain I was going through. I was fine! But f*******ck. I need to. I want to. I can't breath. I'm suffocating. I've tried everything. I can't cry.

In the USA call 911
other countries I am sure you know the number

Tell whoever answers you are a danger to yourself or others

You need professional help
Our brains are designed for self preservation ,not self destruction .

When you can override that ,and self harm ,you need help

I am not trying to me mean ,,
Do yourself a huge favor ,make the call

Distract yourself somehow. Walk outside or something.

@GoodoldBob I'm so strong normally. But I cannot stop myself from thinking about the release I would get. I wanna shout help. But to who? Why??
I've dealt with this for so many years by myself.

@PandorasBox Call someone and talk about other things. That way you get some human contact and reassurance without crying on their shoulders. I think the best thing you could do is think about something - anything - else for a while.

Take your emergency meds and relax

@TexChik I wish I had meds to chill me out but alas I do not.

If you can't breathe, how can you be typing?

Leave your phone. Take a walk outside. Find some fresh air. Close your eyes. Try to calm the chaos in your head. Find a happy memory. Cling to it. Deep breaths. Tell yourself you’ll be okay. Keep repeating this over and over again.
