i have always heard the saying life is hard. but no one prepared me for this. my parents hurt me and that isnt an excuse for injuring myself. i am just so tired of it and how they yell at me and tell me i cant make any disissions in MY life. and that they control everything i do. i am just so tired of it. i get in trouble for dumb things and then just go crazy. i have been injuring myself since like december. i have to cover up the scars. I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF EVERONE ACTING LIKE I AM CRAZY FOR INJURING MYSELF. just ’cause i SI doesnt mean i am crazy or want to die. it just means i am hurt and injuring is the only way to release my pain.
i have a friend kirsten who also injures. we say we wont but we cant control it. she goes through a lot more than i do and i have never really thought of it. i hate seeing her injuries it makes me feel out of control. i need help with it. i dont want to lose my best friend over something this stupid. so please help me…us. i cant handle that much pain.
Hey, I can really relate to this. My parents always yell at me for being who I am…It hurts, too…Having someone tell you that your not good enough for them, I mean…They just don’t understand that what they say and/or hurts who we are! Not just our parents, but people. We’re not crazy. We’re not different. We just need poeple to care. You can’t let them get to you. It just makes it worse. Me and me boyfriend go through the same thing. We both SI and we both don’t know how to stop it. You just gotta know that there are people out there who love you for you, no matter what. If you wanna talk more and try to figure out how we all can be helped, my e-mail address in niqbel@sbcglobal.net.
Hey there, I can relate to this also.
It seems like my parents yell and talk down to me so much that I can’t just have all the good times that used to happen when I was a little kid. I have these crazy dreams of making it big as a dancer, graduating early from high school, etc., and it seems like they think that none of that’s ever gonna happen. They say it downright. It hurts that they don’t believe in me, even though they say they support me. They don’t realize how much they’re hurting me.
One of my two best friends also self-injures. Whenever I see her scars, it makes me want to cry and scream and S.I. myself. I can’t believe how hard it is to stop. It’s a horrible feeling when I get an urge. It hurts so much that we both want to help each other so much, but we just don’t know how. The hard thing is that I can’t see her as much anymore because her scars trigger me really badly.
I don’t know how to help you, or her, or myself, but know that you are not alone and although it may not seem like it, your parents love you.
