Suicide is a last measure some people take because they see no way of relieving their pain, whether it is psychological of physical. So, since there seems t be no way out of their predicament, they chose to physically end their life. The alternatives are to find people you cn talk to to give you advise on hoe to deal with the pain, Sometimes it only takes a support group of people going through same thing helping each other out. Other times a family physician will prescribe medications.
What ever the situation is for you:
- If you've thought about suicide, you are not alone. Many people have thogth about it.
- If your;ve made a plan of how you're going to do it, then tha is a bit more serious ans you may want to get some professional help
- If you've assembled the article/tools you palm to use for the suicide, get help immediately, either go to a shelter for battered women, or a physiologist specializijg in Family counseling.
Ans, as as a last resort call 911. Suicide is a last measure some people take because they see no way of relieving their pain, whether it is psychological of physical.

It is dependant on the way you self harm. If you cut yourself, an effective alternative is to have a rubber band around your wrist. Instead of cutting (which leaves scars) you can ping it. Hurts just as much, but doesn't last and isn't going to get lethal.
Another way is to talk to someone. Have a friend who is always there on the end of the phone. When you get angry or sad, and want to hurt, call them instead. Have a good old moan and he/she can make you feel better about yourself... that's often all you need is a kind word.
Obviously seeing a counsellor is a good idea, and I found that helped a lot, having someone unbiased with no opinion to talk to or have a moan at.
Another thing you can do is (to help refrain altogether) is keep what I call a "Happy Diary". You basically buy a really nice diary from paperchase, or the like and you write three things that make you smile or laugh or happy in anyway. After a while, looking back on that will just make you naturally happy, cos you just remember the happy things rather than dwelling on the depressing situation you might have been earlier. It's a good, calming ritual too.
If, like me, you were mainly angry, then buy yourself a punchbag. Put it up somewhere quiet, where no-one can hear you or you can't hear anyone and then you start punching like your life depends on it. Put some loud, angry "f*** the world" music on and punch/kick/elbow in time to the music. It really really helped me. Have a policy where no-one is allowed to disturb you if you are punching... you'll find yourself coming out in time for any prior commitments anyway! (N.B This punchbag idea won't work if you are violent and scottish.;o))
Also (I have TONS of these!) join a club. If you are into musical theatre, join an amteur dramatic group; singing, join a choir; musical, join an orchestra. Don't join with a sibling or a friend, do this on your own. It's almost like making a fresh start. You can be who you want with these people. You might not be smart/funny/sexy in your workplace/school or home, but here you can be who you want, because nobody knows you!
Seriously, I have tons of these! These are just a few, but this is some of the things that got me out of it. Hope this helps :o)
snapping an elastic band on you worked for me or drawing on you with a pen. sharpies are good. that also worked

Is Self equals Harm an addiction if you think about it a lot but I do not self-harm?
Self harm is something that some people do to hurt themselves in various ways. Self harm can become an addiction, or be an addiction even if a person doesn't hurt themselves. If they think about it often, or research it constantly, it might be an addiction.
Is Self harm is bad?
Yes, it's obviously not good. But it is not immoral and the sufferer should not be frowned upon or isolated. They just need help.
What are ways to harm yourself?
Well, two different ways, self inflicted or otherwise inflicted.. Self inflicted is like cutting your wrists to cause a release through pain but otherwise inflicted harm is like being hit around the face, out of the other persons anger for your actions etc. Hope that helps :)
What would you call monthly depression and self harm in a very happy person and what can you do to help?
I consider myself a happy person but I am also suicidal. It doesn't make sense and it doesn't have to. What you have here is a chemical imbalance (it can be anything from major depressive disorder to bipolar disorder, you'll have to see a psychiatrist to get a good diagnosis) that you cannot control without treatment. Self harm is a way to self-soothe. There are many different ways people self-soothe, and that is one of the more drastic ways to make yourself feel better. It's nothing to be ashamed about but it is a sign that you need some psychiatric help, probably medications. Or you can research other ways to treat depression such as hypnosis, vitamins (chromium, magnesium, vitamin D, DHEA), acupuncture, and even cold showers.

What are some ways you can hide self harm cuts or scars on your thighs?
You could always say you ran through some brambles or barbed wire and there are some scar erasing products on the market, but a more important issue is WHY are your cutting yourself??? Are you inflicting injuries on yourself because you are crying out for attention, are you doing it because you enjoy the pain, are you doing it because you feel you deserve to be punished, or do you think the scars are cool??? There is no good reason for self mutilation, and I strongly suggest you talk to someone who can understand and who you can relate to. You could try to cover it up by putting on a lot of sunscreen to try and blend it in.
I have bouts of self harm but generally don't feel sad-the self harm is on my upper thighs so its not an attention thing I just kind of like the endorphin rush-am I depressed?
Self-harm can be a sign of underlying emotional distress, even if you don't feel sad in the moment. It's important to seek professional help to explore the reasons behind this behavior and develop healthier coping strategies. Depression can present in various ways, and self-harm is a serious concern that should not be ignored.
Are lays chips good for you?
in some ways yes in some ways no
Could I substitute kissing someone for cutting myself and help break the cycle of self-harm since they both release endorphins?
There are better ways of breaking your cycle of self-harm than to harm yourself. You could probably try talking to a counselor or someone who you could talk to professionally and get you the correct help that you need. Try and find happy things to help you with, like doing what you like to do, like reading a book, or going to a park and swinging, or talking to a good friend... Yes kissing does release endoprhins and so does cutting yourself, but there are other ways that you can get help in better ways than hurting yourself with something you are trying to break the habit of.
Can you think of self harm and not be considered suicidal?
In my opinion yes, and by many others it is so. Self harm is different- it is a way to try and cope and live your life (though I stress not a very good one) and suicide is when you can't cope anymore. Please don't. Once started its a slippery slope- I speak from personal experience. If you need to- talk to someone, write a diary or whatever works for you. There are better ways! :) <3
