Bleh
I'm am almost positive I can't stand myself. I get so angry at everyone then I go do something stupid. Like cutting or tearing things apart, including myself. I regret what I do when I'm angry I think it is a good idea then but afterward I don't know what to do with myself I feel like such a failure! When I cover my cuts with an armband they go away momentarily but they always come back...like a boomarang! But my happiness never comes back....never

Of..
2 years () (Permalink)Don't be so hard on yourself... Cutting is not stupid. I used to view it as tearing myself apart or breaking myself down, it's the only thing that kept me sane and it saved my life. Once upon a time it's all that I could hold onto. It's the only tool that I had at one point in my life, and I'm grateful that it was there for me. Life is hard, and coping with it can sometimes be very difficult. give yourself a break, and don't be so hard on yourself. We're our own worst critics sometimes. :)

I feel the same way about
2 years () (Permalink)I feel the same way about myself, it's oftentimes difficult to like yourself when you're angry, anxious, depressed, etc. Whatever is driving you to self-injure.
I have a hair trigger temper towards family (ha, nobody else really) in real life. I'll snap fast and say things that make me hate myself after I am not angry. It doesn't make you a failure to be angry and do things you later regret, it doesn't make me a failure even though I often feel that way.
I don't know a way not to feel like a failure but just know you're not. You're human, you're hurting, you don't have a way of coping right now that you feel good about.

blah
2 years () (Permalink)i can see where you're coming from. like, sometime i just get so angry that i explode, and normally im so good at keeping anger controlled. and then i say stuff that i regret and then i feel bad and i if i've been starting to get back up i fall again and i cut. and m y moment of forgeting my pain comes from my friend and when i hangg out with him, but then he goes away and i remember that he has no idea that beneath the wristband is a cut and that he prefers my friend over me, and all that pain comes back. so i know what you mean by this. and i can't say it's going to get better, because frankly, i'm not so sure. but i can say that if we both try to find things that give us that forgetfulness for longer, maybe we can postpone the drop, and bring back an inch of permant happy. maybe.
