...have any of you ever cut yourself?

Sorry, can't say that I have. I have heard that those who self harm (by cutting, burning etc.) are trying to deal with extreme emotional feelings that they are incapable of dealing with on their own. But, there are other reasons too.

Wish I knew more about it.

God Bless, Eva

no i havent, but i agree with jonathan, i have thought about it sooo many times cuz i have had boi problems, or just household problems...but someone always talked to me to let me know that we'll all get through the tough times...any way i can help?

I know exactly where you're coming from.
Anorexia isn't so much that you feel sick after eating as much as how much you are eating. (and in terms of what it is and how much exercise as well often). Let me tell you, it's not a nice place to go. I never was anorexic, but i was heading that line (although, i would never be diagnosed because it wasn't anything to do with image/weight). I ate 6 meals a week at most...
But that's the old days.

Now days.. when i get really depressed and upset.. i pray, and if it's unmanageable, i call my well-trusted friend (who is an experienced adult).

People at school who don't know me sometimes called me emo or punk or goth. (Ironically, after i stopped hurting myself). I am none of those. It just showed how little they knew of me. My close friends, although they see my moods, know i am none of those things.


It's scary to look at your life now and think of what your future will be like if you continue on the same path... For me, it's also concerning to look at what i used to be, and how i've changed without noticing it (in a negative direction).
And, it is abit of a motivator to change.. Not the best motivator, but i find that it can often start to help the process.

It will never be an easy process to leave the old way behind. But your life will be better for it. Yeah, you'll probably fail afew times, and almost certainly be tempted to go back there (it's so much easier to!)... But, we have a big mighty God who wants to help us!
(This is not to say others can't help us, i would suggest (if you're able) to see a professional. It doesn't mean your weak, it just means that you're acknowledging that things aren't being handled as they should be, and you need/want alittle help on how to)

I will pray for you. I met with my close friend yesterday. and we talked and prayed- and i'm already feeling better for it. Prayer is very powerful...

But, when you do feel like dieing or hurting yourself... Ask yourself "why should i die?". And remember that God's plans for you are good, and He wants you alive at the moment, because He has good for you if you'll follow Him. He promises it, And has He ever broken one of His promises?

I am curious... those of you who have thought about it, but never done it.. Why did you decide not to?
(I think it was a good decision, i am interesting in hearing the deciding points)

because i met this really nice guy and i wanted to tlk to him again, and i started having feelings for him and then we umm made a very big oops and know we tlk some, but the feelings r still there
