I hurt myself so I dont feel emotional pain just physical. What is an alternative. Im addicted?

This is a serios question. Pls DONT answer if your just gonna judge me or not have any real advice. Some ppl are just assholes

Answers:
I've decided that sometimes we feel an emptiness inside of us. call it whatever: loneliness, depression, sadness. but we want to fill in that hallow with something substantial and controllable like pain infliction. though far from perfect, it something that you can self administer. but sometimes this "control" manifests in you mind until it becomes something you cannot control. the alternative is something so obvious but something you must obtain on your own: healthiness and happiness through love and acceptance. ppl see me as happy-go-lucky with a spring in my step, but i've been in the darkness of my own mind and my own pain. realize that the glow of your own life has value and worth. you affect others around you. don't be afraid to ask friends or family for a little help

Best way to handle this is to get to your doctor and tell him/her EVERYTHING! What you're doing, how it makes you feel, etc. needs to be discussed with the medical personel. I'm sure you've heard this before, but don't dismiss it - go to see someone for help. I'll be praying for you.
Try to go out with friends instead of hurting yourself. Emotional can be very serious and lead to depression. I think hang out with friends or get yourself some entertainment does help.
Emotionl pain will always follow you if you let it. Try to loose the pain. Try to not think about it by absorbing your mind in something else. Obsess over something. May not be healthy, but it works for me. If there is something I don't want to think about I just find something, a project/hobby/job and just go overboard on it to the point where I eat drink and sleep it. That way I don't have room to think about whatever is bothering me. Right now I'm obsessed with Q&A. Like I said, it's not healthy, but its something.
Self-harming is a serious problem, especially among young people. First thing is to know that you are not alone and that lots of people feel the same way you do. Second thing is to definitely get yourself some help.

I don't know where you are or how old you are but there are lots of places to turn to. You could go to your GP. IF you are in Scotland you can try See Me http://www.seemescotland.org.uk/
If you are under 18 you could try ringning Childline (0800 11 11) for support.
Go and talk to someone you trust. I know this is said all the time, but I went and talked to one of my teachers and he was really able to help me. Try talking to a psychologist because they understand what it is that you are going through and are able to take an objective look at it and try to solve the problem at it's root, instead of just treating the symptoms.

An alternative to hurting yourself is to write - in a journal, in the form of letters to those who are making you feel this way, poetry. It feels good to get the emotions out of you without having anyone judge you on what you are feeling. When writing you are able to say what you really think and feel, as opposed to what others think you should think and feel.

Seek out help in the support group you already have - your friends, family, teachers.whomever you trust. And if you don't feel comfortable going to any of these people, find someone you do trust. Believe me, there are many people out there who care about you and want to help you.

I hope this helps, I know it helps me.
I think I would have to ask how old are you and how long have you been experiencing this. Please consider talking to someone who you can trust about this. There is some kind of deep, emotional pain from your past I would assume and the problem will not get resolved until you get to the root of this.
See your family doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist or someone who can be therapeutic to you. You are not alone with this problem and it is my hope that you get this resolved soon. Good luck.
I used to cut too..Just so I could get rid of the pain I felt..Focus on something else..and then times because I felt so empty inside.

I called a doctor, I spoke to friends who would listen sought out some counselling..I also use chat rooms online cause they are accesible 24/7..I am not saying only use those..But maybe add that to a list of other resources..

You are not alone! Try this one I go there alot:
