Suggest Treatment For Self-injury Addiction And Suicidal Thoughts

Hi, I have been cutting myself for over 8 years now and recently I feel like I'm losing control. My urges are always there and I feel like I have to take things further or cut deeper just to be satisfied. I'm worried that one day I'll take it to far, and know I should see my go or something. However, I know the way and the things I think aren't normal, and I do have suicidal thoughts. I'm scared that telling this to a doctor, they can inform my parent or it could lead to admission to a hospital or something like that. Could you please tell me what I can do, and if this is the case?

I really appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Nikki

Hi.

I understand your concern .

Self injuries behaviour or para suciadal behaviour need proper psychological evaluation.

It can be part of depression or borderline personality trait.

It is like anger turns inward because of self defence Machanism of sub conscious mind.

There are threat or forgotten traumatic events that causes anger and it will divert to body my self injuries behaviour. So ned to assess it and try to verbalised all.

Psychotherapy , catharsis and medicines can help.

Consult psychiatrist for better assistance .

Glad to answer you further .

Thank you .
