A couple day a go. I felt so Depressed. And I couldn't stop the urge to hurt myself. And while I was just holding my Razor, I lost control of it, and I almost cut my finger off. I got so freaked out, that I ran to the bathroom to see how much damage was done. Now, even though I'm still cutting, I'm scared that I might accidentally lose so much blood that I could die. Please I need help.

Aw sweetheart I know what it's like to be there. I cut a lot for a long time and I was chronically anemic (not enough red blood cells) because I would be bleeding every day. You're so strong for coming here and asking for help ((more hugs)) I'm proud of you. You've taken the first step What I did when I first decided to stop was I took it hour by hour the first day. I woke up, and counted 1 hr without cutting, then another and made it to 24 hours. Not going to lie, it was complete hell, but every little accomplishment, every hour, gave me a tiny bit of hope that I was stronger than this. . Then after a week of doing that I decided to count day by day. I would put a heart on a calender of every day that I didn't cut. If I slipped up I would leave the square blank. I wouldn't count days in a row without cutting. Just any day that I didn't cut. the first month there was 4 days I didn't cut. And it made me proud that for those 4 days I didn't hurt myself. One small victory at a time I'm almost 10 weeks SI free right now, and I still take it day by day. message me if you need ANYTHING...im here for you

yes, that is very serious. I know your feelings, but it could eventually get out of hand and become severly dangerous health wise. I would call a hotline, talk to a counselor, or talk to someone about getting you help. The fact you know you need help is a start, please seek it and stay with your treatment. Remember You are very special and there are people and places out there you can get help if you want it. I pray you have the courage to seek help and pursue treatment. Don't be afraid you are not alone
LOL and God bless

some people substitude rubber bands or holding ice or hot wax to si. there things may help you temporarily. if you cant yet resist your urges dont use razors, use less sharp things that dont have the same risk factors. like a butter knife. its hard to overcome the urges and some people take years to stop. it took me over 30 years to even realize i had a problem so you are allready ahead of me. most of my problems came from how i felt and my inability do deal with it in a healthy way. most of my own thoughts about myself were unhealthy twisted thinking all related to being abused. i am 9 years free from si today. there is hope for peace. hugs
