Self harm? Help? Save me from myself.?

I started feeling very sad at about 8 years old.But it was never really very bad. Depressed you can say. At 9, one time I had too much. I felt angry and sad and worthless i felt like screaming yet i can't. I can't bring myself too because i know the consequences. So i thought about self harm, i just started. I took a pair of scissors and started drawing on my wrist. not the bottom part because i know its dangerous. i made a vow to myself at 8 that i would never suicide no matter how bad it may be. Anyway, to be honest it was fun and releiving. When i saw blood, you might think i'm mad, but i actually felt a little happy, because i actually acheived something. At 11 i turned to biting. So much easier and much less revealing than cutting. If i bit real hard i might get a little bit of blood, but no more than a few drops, but it would always bruise and my skin very rarely shows bruises, only maybe a little but not much, it would hurt though. I'm 13 now. Yesterday, i had a fight with my parents.I bit myself again. They saw. They were angry called me phsycotic and crazy and mad and should be caged up in a zoo and people should be careful of me. so i bit again. This time they beat me and said that I am mad. I screamed and bit again. I feel so bad today. I have always been different, did things that were weird, hated by teachers, never confident but with words that were a double edged sword. Am i really mad and deserve to be caged in a zoo? I feel bad, and is it my fault? I guess it is, and i would like some comfort, and hope you won't judge.

    Dear Christine, I'm so sorry you feel this way. I wish I was there to help you out. Or just listen to you. I will answer your question, no you are not mad nor crazy but do have a problem. You need to talk to someone who can listen, understand and help you out Do you have someone you trust? If you do then show this person this question you've posted. If you are a Christian and have a Bible, why don't you look up Leviticus chapter 19 verse 28 I'll quote it here " Do not make cuts in your flesh..." God does not like to see you injuring yourself for you are beautiful in his eyes. send me an email if you wish.

    Sounds like you have a mental health issue( I'm not being mean). I'm a nurse and see kids your age all the time that have the same exact problems... Seek treatment and get your parents to take you to a psychiatrist or mental health center so that you can get help. This doesn't mean you are crazy. Some people just have chemical imbalances that affect them. By going to a psychiatrist you can find ways to cope and maybe get put on a medicine to help you control these impulses and issues.
