My SH scars have finally started fading, but I still hate walking around with that area on show as they can still be seen.
doctor. but you knew that really.

Edited to add, I think they would be at risk of hurting themselves which is a worry.
Which is where you should go, randomgirl. If you've got infections, especially down there, you need to get them sorted out and patched up before you do some real serious damage.
I doubt a doctor would be in danger of hurting themselves, as they would be careful. If you've got bits of razor stuck in you then tell them.
as frog says, your gp, or if it's urgent, a&e.
dont take the risk sweetheart.
i gotta go mosque and hear about how i'm going to hell. woo hoo.
Hazell, I really hope you're ok. I know how much it hurts to have to sit and listen to people tell you you're going to hell so if you need anything, what I said above applies to you, too. x
Is there a doctor that does know you, at least enough to not be scared of it? My GP was fantastic, but I know that some aren't.
You do need to try and bite the bullet and go and see someone. If you're scared of seeing a GP and being identified as you, you could go to the walk-in centre or Minor Injuries Unit at your local hospital- you'll be a lot more anonymous there.
Anyway:
I was talking to a friend of mine last night and he told me he was depressed, sad and lonely. He thinks that life isn't worth living and that if he killed himself, no-one would care. How do I convince him that's not true? When he said 'if I went, no-one would miss me' I said that I would, but that seemed to make no difference at all. He also (from the way he went on last night) thinks that he has no friends, which is a load of rubbish, judging by the way people were with him when we were at his friend's house a few weeks ago.

My relationship with my GP isn't good, I think the walk-in centre is a good idea. I'm not too bothered about the physical side of things again now (I was getting scared before as I had to go to family for Christmas and it seemed too risky as I had four razors in so I removed all except for my favourite razor), I am in a lot of pain but I'm loving it now so it's all good.
Me though, I'm actually alright, got through Xmas, despite having LOADS of urges on Xmas day night, so I'm proud, I guess. Got a gym pass for Xmas though, so I'm taking my stress out through that
Which is why I haven't said anything to anyone. Spoke to him last night and now he seems fine, which is good.:)
Pah. Thing is, in my own head it seems sensible .
Anyway, i just need to write it down, somewhere.
anyway dude, sorry to hear you've been stressed, maybe a bit of a break from work would clear your head?
take care
Kirtsy: I know I havent around much recently, but if you need a rant or someone to talk too please, please PM or email me. x
Could you not put a bandage over your hand and wrist and say that you spraiend your wrist or something?
Without knowing any of the outside circumstances, I really can't pass comment. But your father attempting to kill himself is not your fault. Whilst it will hurt you, and have an effect on what you think and feel, it was something he opted to do. Not you. It isn't your fault. Maybe you did things that added to his dismay and despair, but it still doesn't make it your fault. It was a decision he took - and whether that decision was cowardly, selfish, thoughtless, or the only way out for a man at rock bottom, it was his decision and his alone.
It's crappy when you have to give up everything you know - life, friends, people you care for, places you are familiar with. It's enough to make anyone feel depressed - it's hard as hell, especially when it isn't your decision to uproot from everything. It's also crappy to see the demise of a relationship because of such decisions. But things will get better - you'll make new friends, find new people who you care about, and who care about you. Onwards and upwards
And on that basis, you can't be far from the turning point in your life, can you? It's a great place to reach - you can see who you want, do what you want, eat what you want, live where you want - life suddenly becomes yours, rather than an extension of your parents
If your father really did mean it when he said he hated you, then it's his loss. He's on the verge of witnessing you as an adult, and it's only at that point where he'll really get to see who you are. Who you choose to be.
By the way - see that biiiiiiiiig key over near the backspace one? It helps others read your thoughts far more easily
Happy new year! I reckon it has some good ingredients for being a cracking year
Hope you're ok, hugs, same goes to you, if you ever want to talk to someone, email me/PM me, or even LJ- I read that everyday
No idea how, but didn't cut, I was such a state, crying down the phone etc.
Kirtsy, Not cutting, not matter how bad you feel, is always a good thing. I just need to be less hyper sensitive to other peoples actions, even when I know they only do/say things because they care. (That wont make much sense to anyone but me) I'm on my email or on here pretty much everyday.
Aaand, I'm all on my own again tonight. When I was meant to be seeing him. Was really looking forward to being in his arms again.
you shouldn't need to expain yourself to your boyfriend... i think that if he really cares for you he would listen to what you're saying and feeling and try help you get through it... and don't worry it doesn't sound ridiculous, i feel the same way, just to release the pain and anger building up and the relief when you cut yourself... it's a weird sensation... i was always looking forward to being in my boyfriends arms again, just for him to comfort me and take my mind off things, when he wasn't there i didn't know what to do with myself, but just be strong, for yourself, try stand up to yourself and think of other ways to occupy yourself, like posting new messages on here!!;)
