But right now I'm really stressed to the point I've started harming myself. I try to stop but I keep getting the urge to continue.

I don't know what to do anymore.

I will pray.

Praying for you as well...

Hey Beau,

Let me just say as one who's had a friend in this position, that I know that sometimes circumstances can sometimes seem so overwhelming that physical pain becomes the best way to mask the emotional pain. As my friend once said "I can handle this kind of pain [cutting] better than I can the emotional stuff." But as the friend of that person who was in pain, let me encourage you to seek help from a Christian in your life who can help you and keep you accountable as you fight this depression.

Also, remember that God wants to take your pain right now. There are times in everyone's life that we think "I just can't do this anymore," and I know in those times it sometimes seems that pain can be the easiest escape-- but please realize that this kind of behavior only causes you more problems and ushers in more pain. Cutting, like drugs and alcohol, can become an addiction. Please, don't let that happen. Let people who love you help you.

I'll be praying for you.

I will pray, too.

I will be praying for you.

You've been prayed for:).
