I want to cut myself NOW, what to do so I don't?
It sounds sick, but now, right this second, I want to hurt myself. Is there anything I can do instead? I feel really anxious, restless, and confused, and I've been having sudden feelings of anxiety for no good reason, especially at work, even though my job is not stressful. I cut myself to deal with these feelings. I have been reading a book on cutting to try to learn about it, but it typecasts cutters as freaks- am I, then, a freak? My parents and friends don't know, and I don't have any help.

Go and tell a doctor or other professional about you're cutting and other feelings that you are having. They will beable to help.
Try and distract yourself by keeping busy.

When I was a teenager 150 years ago LOL I used to go to my room and play my rock'n'roll music and dance, dance dance of my anger. I did have a pretty Good understanding father. You could go for a walk, do anything that uses up energy. Do shadow boxing call a friend get your mind off of hurting yourself. Remember these scars will last a life time. So try not to cut. If you can get psychotic help do so. My Older son had a bad cutting problem and I got him help before he ended up dead. Trust your parents talk to them and see if they will get you help. Good luck sweety.

You've taken some first steps that takes a lot of strength -- You have realized there is a problem and you are reaching out for help.
You are not a freak -- you just need someone to talk to that will be able to help you through this difficult time you are having.
I have found a site that I am hoping will be helpful for you.

You should really talk to someone about it- you could seriously injure yourself. I knew a cutter who had an infection so bad she had to be hospitalized. Trite as this may sound, why don't you go home and take a bubble bath. It always calms me down.

Talk TO Your Parents NOW. You probably have a problem in your life that you feel you cant deal with or makes you feel like ****. Im Sorry, but don't hurt yourself get help now. I looked at some of your answers to find out about you (not tryin to be creepy tryin to help) and I think i know your problem.
" I am completely head over heels in love with my best friend, and she's a girl and so am I! "
YOur gonna have to put down the Razor, NOW and GET HELP. You Shouldnt be blaming yourself and don't go on Yahoo answers for help because half these people are retarded.
REALLY
first of all, you need to talk to your friends and parents. they will help you. i don't understand the cutting thing, except, i heard that it releases your hurt (temporarily). do not cut yourself. it is not acceptable. you are stronger than that i think, don't you?

You are suffering from a form of depression. You should seek advice from a counselor. I would suggest talking to someone you can confide your feelings to. Most companies offer mental health with their employee health insurance. You're not a freak, just confused.

first of all no you're not a freak. there are several things you can do to help when you're experiencing the urge to do it.
first of all avoid things that may trigger the urge. it's possible that reading about it right now may not be the best thing to do, especially if you're reading the wrong books.
there are several techinques you can use to fight it.
try writing your feelings out either in a journal or creative writing outlet (e.g. short story or poem)
physical exercise can also help a lot of times, cutting releases endorphines (the feel good hormone) you can achieve the same effect (usually) by pushing yourself physically. go for a run/walk, kick a ball around, something physical that's away from the sharp objects.
sometimes talking to someone can help, not even necessarily about what's bothering you.
go to a movie. just make sure it's not something thats going to set you off.
ice works really well. stick your hand or foot in a bucket of ice. it stings but doesn't really do any damage. (i have a bad ankle so when i did this i usually stuck my foot in ice and people just figured it was bothering me)
holding on to an icecube can help too
another thing you should seriously consider doing is finding a counselor/therapist that you can talk to. you don't necessarily have to tell them about the cutting when you meet them (I normally don't) but it can help to have someone to talk things out with.
if you ever need to get a hold of someone e-mail me. i've been there and know how hard it can be sometimes. the good news is you can get past this. last time I cut was July 25, 2005 so there is hope.

Please, please, please don't cut yourself. Do you have anyone to talk to about this? Can you go talk to your medical doctor about this? Boystown has a national hotline and teens (I'm guessing you're a teen) can call about anything. The number is 1-800-448-3000. Please get some help. Don't try to go through this alone. Good luck.

Sweetheart, you need to let your folks know what is going on. You do not NEED to continue to feel this way. There's help out there and you need it now. Please let your parents know. They love you and want to help you.
Don't cut. It only gets easier to do each time you do it and it could kill you. I know....... I've been where you are.
Please seek help right this minute. Tell your mom and dad how you are feeling so they can help you get the help you need. You won't regret it. I promise!

Good luck to you and e mail me ANY TIME

Good for you, asking for help....You hit the nail on the head, you cut because you're running away from your anxiety and restlessness. The same reason people drink or do drugs. Sit down and get quite, breath and meditate. You need to talk to someone you're not a freak. Call a helpline if you can't tell a freind or your faimliy.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

You are not a freak at all there are millions of people who do what you do ...call a friend or talk with someone in your house. Leave the room you are in and get off the computer...No one wants someone they love to cut or hurt themselves..go hang with ur family for a while and when you get the courage talk to them about it they will help you.
conundrum_dragon
Don't do it....there are all kinds of things that can go wrong actually try talking to your friends and family sometimes they can be the best help in these cases..no I was never a cutter I went further and tried to actually kill myself. Its not worth it talk to your family or friends they will be there for you they actually do care.

* Splash water on your face. This will help alter you concentration, attention, and physical senstions.
* Take a bath or shower. "Immersing yourself in either warm or cold water will change your body's temperature, thus changing your physical sensations."
* Make you whole body as tense as you can. When you release this tension, your body will feel more relaxed.
* Change the temperature of your environment. It can be either really warm or really cold. Creating such a drastic change will alter how you feel on a physical level and can also help reduce or eliminate dissociation.
* Color you body to resemble what would have happened if you did hurt yourself. For example, draw red lines on yourself instead of cutting. But make sure to use nontoxic art supplies for this method.
* Hold an ice cube in your hand. The pain from the ice will resemble the pain from self-injury. But the result will not be as harmful or dangerous to your body.
* Plunge your arm into a bucket of ice water. The shock of the cold and the pain from this will resemble the pain from SI.
* Play an audiotape or videotape of yourself that you have recorded previously. In this tape, state all the reasons why you like yourself and why you should not hurt yourself. This will raise your self-awareness and may make you feel loved.
* Call, write, or visit a friend, family member, significant other, or therapist.

You are not a freak. You are just trying to find comfort in a way. I guess. However, if anything you are harming yourself. And there is no reason to harm yourself in anyway. I'm sure you are a intelligent and beautiful individual. So I would ask you get some help with this. My sister cut herself because of her former bf. But that never solved anything. She has gotten some help and is now doing better then before the cutting.
- Do not go through with it.
(why?)
Because you are worth more then that.
:)
In fact, find a mirror and just smile. See yourself smile and let someone you know, love, and trust about this. Get some help and remember that you are more then this behavior.
CctbOh
Talk to your parents or friends and let them know. You need to tell someone and get some help. Try taking a walk instead of cutting yourself.
hydexsys
Why dont you try to give yourself a kiss instead.
Love yourself as no one has loved you before.
Feel that you are the mother of yourself and see how you fell if your daughter does that to yourself.
be your own parent and love yourself .. a lot.
You are unique and specila.. for me, and for a lot of other people.
Hug yourself in your mind and even physically.
be your own best friend.
Sam
You have to go tell somebody..... tell your mom or dad, whoever will give you a hug afterwards.
You are NOT a freak, I hope the book explained that it is a mismatch of thought patterns that causes people to cut.....it is ok to go through those changes, but it is not ok to go through them alone or to cut yourself in the process.
Please don't be afraid to be imperfect today, go tell your parent and they will help to get some help lined up.
Angelo A
No sweetie, you are not a freak. You need to find ways to cope with the feelings, perhaps counseling would be a good start.
But for the immediate current moment, go for a walk look at the world and breath.
Patch
Sweetie, you need to talk to someone. Your parents love you the most and will help you! It will be hard, probably the hardest thing you've ever done, but this is something that you really really need to do so please please talk to your parents, or one of them. Just start by saying, "I need help with something that is really hard for me to talk about." They'll help you take it from there, but get it out in the open.
No no no, you are not a freak. Everyone has "things" and this is yours. Take responsibility and do the right thing for yourself - get help; You will learn, grow, and be thankful in the longrun.
I have three daughters and I would want to know if they needed help with anything like this. In fact, I would be dissapointed if they didn't come to me if they needed help. I didn't just birth them; I want to keep them healthy and happy.
