Hi Charalvis
Welcome to the site, everyone is friendly, supportive & nonjudgemental!
Sorry to hear that you are feeling so low, in yourself at the moment! I went through years of not eating properly or not eating at all! I've not burnt myself before!
Do you know if anyone or anything has specifically triggered you into doing this this time? I know you said you are feeling low, but has something caused you to feel so distressed that you feel you need to punish yourself & body in this way? Feel free to post when you need to, there is always someone around who will be able to support you!
Take Care

Hi, I wish I had the answer you need.What ever I say you have probably heard before, but hearing it one more time won't hurt you. You have got to stop. The pain must be incredible the chance of infection, the smell, the scaring are all terrible things to do to yourself. You need to find a way to help yourself....go asap to a GP. Tell him the truth and follow his instructions. Please do this. You deserve a chance to have a happy life ,but you're going to have to work for it. You can do this. Pam
Hi, like the others have said please do seek help, especially with eating. Have you any idea what triggers it for you? Depending on what does depends on what may help to stop you hurting yourself. Are you not eating because you want to be thinner? Or because you can't be bothered to eat? Or because you have thoughts around food being dangerous? Or is it punishment for yourself or to try and show others how you feel inside?
Is there a family or friend that y could confide in who you could perhaps arrange to meet up with and talk to?
Sorry 100 questions!
You are worth it and have got better before so you will be able to again. It is much easier with some support though so keep talking to us, but also to others you can trust x
Sorry to hear your hurting on the inside so much. It is awful to have that much pain. I hope you can get some help you are worth it. So, the cutting and burning is to distract yourself from the mental hurt? And the not eating is a self punishment? Or is a subconscious attempt to leave this world? I hope my questions are not offensive to you .just trying to get a better feel for what you feeling and everyone in this group cares for you and each other sorta like a safe place. Feel better charalvis
