If you seriously dont think you will beable to talk with your psychologist, try seeing your doctor who can refer you to an outpatient specialist.

Believe me babe, "rehab" isnt all that, and the chances of relapse are far grater and leaving is way more scary that attempting to pick up the pieces out side.

Try looking on the internet for focus groups or self help groups who can offer support and understanding that only those who have experienced it will know.

You may have to look harder than "self harm" groups to find them though. Try depression or anxiety groups aswel.

If you are having trouble finding groups and live in the uk, go to nhsdirect.org and ask for groups in the general enquiries, they will give you a list and linbks to those in your area, if you are outside of the uk, try speaking to your doctoe who should know of afew also.

Phone: 1800 dont cut & http://www.focusas.com/selfinjury.html... http://www.palace.net/~llama/psych/injur... (/psych/injury.html) Put a rubber band around your wrist (for a few minutes, maximum), extend and release, whenever you feel the need to cut, or draw a red line accross your wrist. Go th MySpace & join (free), click on "groups" in an upper toolbar; select "other" and type "self harm", choose a group, maybe changing later, possibly exchanging IM or email addresses. Yahoo; groups & Google; groups, too. Go to http://www.selfhelpmagazine.com... In the meditation room select "try it out" & "mantra meditation". At least 20 mins, daily, but preferably 3 times daily; exercise vigorously for 30 - 60 mins daily, & eat healthily. Tai Chi & yoga can help; there should be someone in your school who can teach you for free, ask your counsellor, or post a notice.

I self harmed for years. I kept on trying to stop but never could. Eventually I just decided I really did want to stop for real and I did stop straight away no effort.
