Really weird cutting thing *only nice people read*?

Question

i know self-harmers often get urges to. but i was in casulty once for a broken knuckle. And know i'm getting this weird urge and need to cut my finger off, and now fantasizing about cutting it of and ways to slowly kill myself. Its a bit odd, but i'm not sure if when i get low again if i will do it =/ i tend to do odd things as i dnt feel connected to myself, and now it seems so easy to do, and i find myself thinking whether to slam a knife down and do it quick, or if to slowly push the blade through o.O

help?! at the assesment thing next week should i mention this? or does everyone get it?

Answer 1

you might want to discuss this at the meeting its not normal that you think about hurting yourself all of a sudden, hope you get pass this  

Answer 2

This falls into the self mutilation category. Please do discuss it. It is basically the next step after cutting.  

Answer 3

There is a thing called "Body integrity identity disorder." This is when the sufferer has a constant feeling that a certain part of the body is unconnected to them. They want to cut it off and get rid of it. It is quite an uncommon disorder but awareness of it is growing. Tell the people at your medical assesment and they may be able to refer you to someone who can help  you with these feelings. Also, be careful about you feeling about killing yourself. they may lead to depression and self harm. maybe you are subconciously missing something from you life and when you find out what it is, it will fill up this empty space.

Answer 4

You need some help.  You are having self harm impulses, which can be part of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and also goes along with something called Borderline Personality disorder.  

This is NOT normal, and is NOT common.  You need to get some help.

Answer 5

Definitely mention it!  I agree that it could be body integrity identity disorder, but to self diagnose or have the internet do it isn't a great idea.  However, it does give you a place to start.

It's more than a bit odd, but is something that can be dealt with.  I know someone who is the same way, only that she is obsessed with wanting to cut off her legs because they are too fat.  She's on meds for it and goes for therapy but she says it's a terrible thing that she didn't realize was so unusual.

Answer 6

Mention it to your doctor right away, if you're going for a psych eval mention it. You need to talk to somebody right away though, because you seem to have depression or some other kind of disorder which is treatable.

Answer 7

I have a similar thing about jumping off tall things. Falling to my death. Its not that I want to die...but I'm very impulsive and curious, and I want to know what it feels like to fall.

Good thing we have skydiving.

But its less about self harm and more about trying to experience a free fall.

I think you should bring it up. I mean, if you're worried enough to ask a question about it, you should probably bring it up. If its nothing, then nothing will happen, and if its something then the right steps will be taken. Better safe than sorry, right?

Hey,

good luck.
