Oh God! Here goes...
Saturday July 5th, I was drinking and freaking out and in so much emotional pain from so many different things, so I was alone and went in the bathroom, locked the door, took a can of hairspray, sprayed it on my left arm, and lit it on fire with a lighter. I did it four times in a row. It stopped my emotional anguish and I took a sleeping pill and went to bed. The next day my bf took me to urgent care. (I felt happy, content, pleasure, relaxation, relief, etc.) I have 2nd degree burns on my hand, and front and back of my forarm. It's really bad, really ugly. I'm really sick. I'm telling everyone that I spilled boiling water on my self cause I was tipsy and tired when I was cooking. I've always been a cutter almost exclusively. I don't know what to do or if I should tell my pdoc or therapist or what! I don't need any info or lecture on drinking. I am not about to stop at this point in my life. It's a way of fulfilling my death wish since I've always failed at suicide and I'm such an ill person that I don't want to live any longer than I have to. Please don't attack me, I'm in a fragile state and I just need help. Please and thank you. Posted on 07/08/08, 07:07 pm |

don't worry, i won't attack you. you already know that you need help, so i won't tell you that. telling your therapist or anyone you trust is often a good idea. but most importantly, if you just need to talk at all, we're all here for you.

I don't see my therapist until next Monday and I feel like she's not qualified to help me even though I don't know for sure.
I can call my pdoc but I don't see her for 2 1/2 months. Has anyone had a severe escalation in the severity of self injury like I just have?

I don't think you want to die. If you did you wouldnt care what we had to say.
Im sorry that your so sad, but you need more help then your getting, obviously.
