How to stop self harming?

I'm jessica.
Lets get to the point to this question, and if you think im attention seeking im fairly not, i just want to stop all of this, and get better, i just want to be normal, and not so ab-normal to the point where i can't even love myself.

I want to stop this and quit being so issue-y because im starting to lose friends.
I'm negative about everything, i can't keep friends, i lie way to much.
I hurt people, im too sarcastic.

    Let me emphasize: You NEED PROFESSIONAL help to stop self harm. It is incredibly hard to beat this on your own. It doesn't have to require prescription drugs, but you need counseling sessions from a professional therapist to fix this. Self harm stems from emotional issues, so talking to a counselor will help you get to the root of the problem. PLEASE see a professional.

      Agree. OP if you're in school see your school counselor. If you're not in school see a therapist. Telling you this is the most help any of us can give you here.

    Seek out cognitive behavioral therapy for Borderline personality disorder, DBT or STEPPS. Believe me, it works if you work it.

    Draw on your arms? To be honest, I think you'd get better advice by Googling rather on this site.

    By the way, there's nothing wrong with seeking attention. We're all seeking some attention by commenting; we expect people to read or reply. You need help and also need replies; it's not a crime. You're not alone; many people do this, even people you'd least expect. I'm not really knowledgeable enough to give personal help myself but I hope you find it and get better.

    You just need to find other ways to cope with your mental distress.

  • I don't know. My personal experience probably wouldn't be best because apparently it's hard to stop by yourself.

    I used to self harm and from time to time I'll do it again slightly before I stop myself.

    How I got over it was that I feared I may cause some sort of perminent damage to the areas I was cutting and kind of built this opposition to myself in my head for whenever I was going to do it.

    If it is serious then I'd do what Autumn suggested, get professional help.

    You are so weak to do this. As I told another on this site. People who self injure just want attention and can't deal with their lives. You truly are a cowardly little bitch
