I need help..... Again

[pentecostalgirl0414]

I have been trying so hard not to cut myself. But the urge is just too hard to overcome. I broke down and cut. There is no one that I can talk to. I just sort of freaked out and started to cut over and over again. I really want to stop. However, I feel like I am too weak to stop on my own. Does anyone have any suggestions. I tried talking to my family but it did no good. Thanks.

This is a common motif in self-injury. The isolation. I believe this is a social problem. We live in a world where no one really knows anyone anymore. No one has time or energy to develop a close relationship, even parents from whom you feel estranged.

It's not about weakness. For a variety of reasons self-injury accomplishes something. It is a way to deal or cope with things, perhaps a replacement for the relationships mentioned above. If you have no other way to deal with things then you are going to self-injure. You will try and try and try and then finally cave in. You can't expect yourself to give up the only thing you know. Others can't either. You have to get other things straightened out first before you can work on eliminating self-injury. It is a symptom rather than a problem.

Well, if talking to your family did no good, I would say talk to a teacher you trust, a friends parent...anyone else that you trust...and then maybe they would see something is wrong and talk to your family. Just a thought. Not really sure.
