is there an alternative to causing pain to yourself other than talking and medical help? i know exercise can sometimes help, but i need something else. i know that pain cant make anything stop and i was woundering if there was something else.
thanks.
thanks.

Lol that made me giggle.
OP- have you ever thought of going to you gp? Or there is a good section on thesite about sh.
Everyone's different so I can't say any one thing will work for you but I think its definately positive that you're considering if theres anything else that can help you. As already mentioned the self harm section here on the site is fab its very useful and informative, if you want to check it out this is the link selfharm
I hope this helps, keep posting, is there any reason why you're reluctant to try medical help?
i dunno about candle wax... or ice. spose i might be able to to try it sometime.
and as for exersice, i cycle alot and dont spend much time at home. im looking for something for when i am at home and when im unable to go cycleing.
Because alcohol isn't a depressant AT ALL :rolleyes:.
2) Don't use alcohol.
I usually try to be les lecture-y but I'm tired and wanted ot make those points.
Getting very drunk is a very very stupid thing to suggest to someone with harming issues, if only because if they DID do something, the alcohol would numb the pain and they could end up doing something alot worse than intended.
Though just to say when I'm drunk I am the worlds happiest person. And I will hug you until you punch me and believe I am your best friend for years. Everybody reacts differently when drunk. Some are angry, some are sad, some are violent, some are withdrawn and some are indeed very very happy happy joy joy.
But I agree with the others, it is a terrible suggestion, even though I'm sure it was a joke.
Also Manda, you are not ALWAYS the world's happiest person when drunk. Though you do sound like a funny drunk person .
I cba arguing about it anymore anyway.

Hi Jordan Scene,
Every individual is different, what affects one person may not affect the other. Some people can smoke the odd 'cheeky spliff' and not suffer any side effects, some people may smoke only one spliff and be left with serious mental health problems. Why don't you check out the pages we have on cannabis and mental health, there are some good links on there too - these may help you to feel more informed?
Keep posting
As of late I am Oh it has been so long since I've had a depressing drunk night... or I only remember the happy ones
