K I have a problem with self injury, and Im afraid nobody will care about it because it isnt on my wrist. I thought it would matter just because its the same problem, but people just dont care if its not where the sterotypes say it should be.
So what should I do?
Tell someone?
Or let it stand.
--Update--
Hmm, okay. I havent told anyone about that problem, but for everyone who may have been wondering, I have pretty much almost stopped hurting myself. Not completely, Ive had a couple bad moments, but its getting better. I still have harsh negative thoughts, but I talk to my friends about it, so I think Ill be okay.
Thanks to everyone for your advice and input.
It means alot.

no matter where you hurt yourself its still going to be self harm in the end, just because youre not cutting yourself on your wrist doesnt mean its any less serious, i suggest you talk to someone about it...
just not someone who cuts their wrists...mainly so that they can help to get you out of the mindset rather than angst along and drag you further down into it.

im ...like you allot.
I can never flat out tell people my problems because I don't think they care.
im also the same way about cutting. But i cut my wrist...i don't know why, ive just always cut the ******** out of my left wrist when things get to be to much to handle.
I havn't done it in a long time till recently....
you have more balls then I, I can never bring myself to tell any one about whats going on with me. People have to litterally drag it out of me.

Sometimes people like to stereotype. If people don't care just based off a stereotype then maybe they aren't the best people to talk to. Sorry, just my opinion.
If you are injuring yourself, I don't think it really matters where it is. Who am I to judge what is actually injury and what isn't? If you want help, then your best bet is to probably talk to someone. Make sure it is a trusted person. Explain to them that you don't feel very comfortable talking about it, but you are worried, and you feel they are trustworthy enough to tell. Hopefully you can find a friend or someone who will be able to listen and possibly help without passing judgement.

You should tell sometime sweetie, I used to cut when I was a kid and now I am so glad I told someone about it because they helped me understand what was going on and why I was doing it.
It helps the pain for like a little while but then you feel bad with doing it and then end up doing it more because you hate yourself for doing it.
People out there care for you, you just need to take the step forward and tell them that you need that care and support from them.
My boyfriend used to cut, he even had scars to prove it. ODed twice and almost crashed his car twice.
If it wasn't for me then he wouldn't be here now, you know what you have to do...have faith in yourself and you can do anything you set your mind to.

NoSympathyForTheDead_x_ K I have a problem with self injury, and Im afraid nobody will care about it because it isnt on my wrist. I thought it would matter just because its the same problem, but people just dont care if its not where the sterotypes say it should be. So what should I do? You need to find help to stop doing it thats what your goal should be.Tell someone? Of course tell someone, your parents, your counselor at school, someone you trust to confide telling how you feel about life right now.
Or let it stand. It doesnt matter where you cut, your trying to feel something. you have alot of emotional termoil. Please find someone to talk to so you can feel better about life and yourself, you have a furture, its going to be ok, once you find the tools to know how hopefully you will feel better. Just remember too your not alone either there are people who care about you!

Despite the fact it isn't on your wrist, why do you think people won't care? Of course they will! The best thing to do is tell someone.

The best thing you can do is talk to someone about what is causing you to do this. There must be some reason you are hurting yourself. If you don't know what it is, just talk to someone about how you're feeling and maybe they can help you find a cause of why you are feeling like you are. You don't even have to mention the fact that you are self-harming.
If that dosen't work, my advice would be to talk to a professional. Theyare very understanding and not judgemental.
Don't think at all that people won;t take you seriously just because you're not cutting your wrists. Self-harm of any kind is serious and is usuallythe resualt of an underlying anxiety or possibly something more serious.

So I'm a little late on advice giving.. lol I'm really glad to hear that you've improved greatly from hurting yourself. It took me a long time to stop, mostly because I had a horrible time with control. I felt out of control when I first started, and I kept going because I felt that if I promised I would stop, then I wouldn't be in control anymore- I'm in the other person's mercy. I haven't cut in over a year or more but I still get horrible urges at times. People don't realise how much cutting, anorexia, and bulimia are like drugs!
