I cant stop wanting to self harm

when i used to cut it was a vice to numb my emotions. it was a way to cry since tears wouldn't flow. i needed a release somehow and so i made a lil slice once i saw my blood drip i felt a little relief, as if the pressure valve was releasing the steam.
It then transformed into an addiction to feel physical pain over emotional. I hated feeling upset because when i did people would look at me as if something was wrong with me because i wasnt my happy normal self. Before Cutting became so popular, i kept it a secret. But it was hard in the summer wearing long sleeves and arm socks is just beggin for attention.
Anyways, It's not good to bottle up emotions no matter what others think. U shouldn't care really. I mean in the end it's about what makes you feel stable. What you do to get thru it may not be conventional in the eyes of those who don't understand what you're going thru. You have to Work thru your demons by your terms, no one elses. This is your life, not theirs. Alot of us whether we admit it or not are working thru some issues in our lives. trying to fit into this society is difficult when it doesn't accommodate or praise ppl who are different, who think outside of the little boxes we're taught to live in.
Everyone copes in their own way i guess, sometimes it may not seem like such a good idea.

I see nothing wrong with it, its your body so whatever if it makes you feel better to cut yourself here n there I see no problem. Just don't take it too far and become suicidal k

I still feel the same after 2yrs some days are harder to get through than others

why do you want to do it? if something is upsetting you, either see a counselor or talk to family and friends. or do anything you want to take your mind off of whatever's wrong. but hurting yourself doesn't help, trust me. recently i cut my wrists because of something my crush said to me, and he was flirting with another girl. i did it on impulse w/out even thinking. my mom told me to never be impulsive in that way, and she's right. i shouldnt've done that.

You may consider a phycologest (tharapy) to talk it out maby.

You sound like a lot of self-harmers I've talked to. It is a serious problem, but short of getting psychiatric help, the best thing to do is distract yourself when you get these urges. Or better yet, avoid the stressful situations that can make you feel like that. (:

I have an obsession with blood as well, but I can't stand pain. I can't even stab my palm with a tak!

Do not worry about what they think, if you hurt your self, thats kinda bad. But if you really want too, then i sugest putting a rubbe band around your wrist and sappig it costaintly.

My friends cousin was emo, her therapist told her to do that. It worked to a certain extent.

I wish i could self harm, but i prefer it when other people hurt me,

i use to self harm and i didnt even know why i just did it whenever i felt upset just to make myself feel better. in the end you will stop you will just realise oneday that what your doing is silly. it took me ages to stop but in the end i did and i would never do it again.

u need to avoid these feelings and eventually they will disappear trust me i used to feel the same way
