self injury

[alonenhurt]

I read the post where it gives differnt ideas to try to stop yourself from cutting. I have tried some of the things on there and i can't seem to distract myself from cutting. Please pray that i will stop having flashbacks from the sexuall assult, so that i will stop cutting.

I feel lost, sad, angry and i don't know what to do with all of my feelings in a time like this. Anyone have any advice?

I will pray for you. This is a site that has helped me in the past: http://www.palace.net/~llama/psych/fself.html it has a lot of things to do to keep yourself from cutting, depending on how you are feeling. it also has other resources. for me, i made a solemn promise to my counselor to stop doing this, and that seems to be working. i don't respect myself very much, but i respect him, so i'm keeping the promise for him.

Have you tried talking to someone about how you feel? Possibly a friend or trusted adult.

I know how hard it is to distract oneself. Everytime I find it hard, I call my best friend up (whoms my trusted adult). He's always there to comfort and console me. It helps me enough that I stop thinking about SIing.
