Hi guys. I have been suffering from self harm, I know there is other people who do it, but I feel like it's putting me down now & feel like I need to go to the hospital or something and tell them, but I'm afraid, because I'm not that old and maybe too young to do this to myself? I don't know what to do!! INN?
Your urge to get yourself to the hospital is a healthy one: follow it. Your age has nothing to do with it
Of course it is NOT normal. You know that.
Yes, whether it is a doctor, the hospital or a counselor at school, you must get some help, ASAP. It doesn't matter what age you are.
I'm glad you can see that you are on a bad path and by posting here I think you have taken a big step towards ending this behavior. Now, please, follow through and get some help.
I've actually noticed people cutting their wrists is not all that uncommon these days. With that said, it's definitely not right. People say they do it because it takes away from the pain they feel inside, but I have a tough time understanding that. Hurting yourself like that isn't helping anything, but only causing more problems. I guarantee there are other better things you can do to make yourself feel better.
Normal it is not. Try to do something constructive with your feelings. When you're thinking about self-harm, take up a pencil and draw or write instead.
Also, seeking professional help may be a wise choice.
