Slit my wrists... Help me

Just posted this for someone else but think it will help you too. Really sorry you are hurting my lovely. I know in time when you find a good place to talk you will heal and the need will go, talking is spiritually healing as it lets the pain out in a very gentle but lasting way. I will pray for you. Lorna Byrnes books helped me immensely too.



When someone cuts they are not trying to hurt those they love and they are 9/10 unsure why they do it as well. I know it must be so painful to see. The best thing you can do to help is listen to them without trying to help, solve or pass judgement. Just try to let your ear be a listening one and your arm be around them to comfort them. They hold so much emotional pain inside and cutting is a form of relief, its not the answer and its addictive because the pain is not being dealt with really. They have to seek the right help - groups who can understand and listen or counselling as there is likely to be deep pain in the subconscious burried that they don't understand either and it requires a safe, loving and gentle place for them to explore their feelings. He wont want to hurt you. Hearing that he is will cause him pain too as he is lost to why he does it, it may feel to you like he is trying to hurt you but I can assure you he is not. He is being carried by deep pain into behaviour he has no control over right now. Perhaps he has deep insecurities, pain of abandonment, abuse, feelings of lack of purpose or direction - whatever he needs to unlock the best thing you can do is lavish him with love, support and confidence and help guide him to people that can really help him my lovely and you will help him no end by just being there for him and loving him through the process. God bless
