Do I need therapy???

Last year, I felt like no one payed attention to me in school so I slit my arms twice so people would ask questions and feel bad for me. Now I feel like I have to cut myself everytime I feel sad/mad. For example, the other day my sister wouldn’t give me my shirt and is started crying. I jumped on my bed and looked in my drawer. The first thing I saw was my shaving razor. So I passed it on my arm and it left a few marks. I dont know why I do it. It doesn’t really hurt and it doesn’t make me feel better. Why is that the only thing I turn to???

Answer #1

you really need to talk to someone that can give you proper help and guidance before it develops into something you can’t control. If you email the samaritans at:- jo@samaritans.org

Answer #2

God loves you sooo much, do not seek the approval of people seek the approval of God by spending time with Him. Pray hear Him say how much He loves you, how He as great plans for you. The shallow people in your life will soon move on, but you will always be with you. Learn to love yourself and be kind to yourself. Life is full of unbeleivable adventures don’t miss out on any of them. Blessings

Answer #3

You’ve turned down a bad path,

This is a stereotypical thing seen in “Emo” people. (Myself included.)

It is seen as Self Abuse Syndrome, and often times are considered to be needing therapy. The reason you turn to it, is the cutting makes you feel relieved of stress. And you really shouldn’t do this, if you do it wrong once, then it can kill you.
