News of Cutting and Self Injury Forum

I REALLY feel like the mental hospital might help me, if I stayed there for a few days. I have gone to three different pshyactrists/pshygologists and none have really helped me. Here are some of the reasons. I feel depressed all the time, I think I've been depressed officially for two years. I have tried cutting myself, but I guess I am too scared to do it because the knife only left a few pathetic ...

How do you know when it's time to go inpatient?

I've been a cutter for five years, and I went inpatient once about three years ago. It didn't help, but I was only there for 3 days. Since then the cuts have gotten worse, and I've started burning instead because the burns hurt so much worse and take so much longer to heal. Has anyone been in an inpatient facility for longer than a normal ...

I just found out that my little sister has been cutting herself. Her mother knows but is not doing much about it. Wneh I asked her about it she said it helps her to release pain.

Is there anything else I can do rather than just being ther for her. ...

Then I did it again this weekend and I found a piece of sheet metal ...

Hi...

This is my first time ever posting on this website... but...here goes...

I'm 18 years old and I have been cutting since I was...15? I think. Late last year it got pretty bad...and I was hospitalized for being a suicidal...and for cutting. I was in crisis and a danger to myself. I didn't stay long, thankfully, and was very glad to get out and go back to my normal therapist. A few months ago ...

When I start selfharming, some times reason come to me that sounds like the concrete cause to my SI, the why and when.
