hey this si my first time on the site. dunno wot im saying is actually relevant. iv been self harming for 2 weeks now. i dont go as far as drawing blood my pain thresh hold isnt that dtrong but scratching myself is helping me. my arm is sore and when they start to fade i feel i am losing what is part of me so i scratch again so its visible again/ although i dont let anyone see it id be so ashamed if i did. my boyfrend knows and i dont thnk he knows how to deal with it. its not fair on him. he saw my arm last nite. i forget bad things when im with him but when we ae apart i get really down and irritable. iv ran out of anti dpressants so am really ratty and on edge. if i odnt speak to someone soon am just gunna shut off from everyone. i cant stand it anymore

You've come to the right place to chat to others about how you're feeling. I've just moved your post so you have your own thread that people can respond to. Hopefully people are more likely to reply this way...
Have you got any friends you could talk to?
Babe i feel so sorry for you =[
you should never ever go this far and halm urself
no matter what ur going through
Myself i wud get ur family and ur boyfriend together and explain what ur doing
and hopefully that way they can talk to you about why you do it? how u started etc
and if you ever wanan talk to anyone pm me
You should go back to your GP and explain what you've told us.
You should only tell people when you feel comfortable with it. I know little minx is only trying to help, but telling your family and friends won't really make you feel better. My family found out and found it hard to understand why I did it.
You can stop but you need to take steps to have other coping mechanisms. You need to understand why you do it, what triggers you have. Talking to a counsellor or therapist can help you do this, ask your GP for a referral. And there's no shame in slipping and doing it again, the feelings of cutting can become addictive. It's an uncomfortable truth, but it does feel nice when you do it. It's no good for you though.
Welcome to the site, you ve had some great reasponses already, its always good to talk with someone, although we understand it isnt easy.
You may not had chance to look at the sites on our self harm pages, there are great tips, stories and lots of support.
We hope this helps, keep posting we have a great community on the site
